Notice

Summary

NYSE American wants to update its rules so companies must keep a certain market value to stay listed on the exchange.

The new rule is up for public comment now, and if approved, companies will need to meet these standards soon to avoid delisting.

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

New $5M Minimum Market Cap Rule

If a company listed on NYSE American has an average market capitalization under $5,000,000 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, that class of common stock will be subject to immediate suspension and delisting. The Exchange says this standard would take effect immediately upon SEC approval of the proposed rule.

No Compliance Period for Sub-$5M Issuers

Companies that fall below the proposed $5,000,000 average market capitalization over 30 consecutive trading days will not be eligible to submit a compliance plan under Section 1009 to regain compliance. The Exchange notes affected issuers still retain the right to appeal a delisting decision, and the rule would be effective immediately upon SEC approval.
