The Direct Listing Process for Trading on NASDAQ and NYSE

The Direct Listing Process for Trading on NASDAQ and NYSE- NASDAQ has allowed for a direct listing although historically it has rarely been used. The process to achieve a direct listing on NASDAQ is substantially the same as OTC Markets with some key differences. This section will only discuss the differences. The biggest difference is that when completing a direct listing onto an exchange, the exchange issues a trading symbol upon effectiveness of the registration statement and filing of an 8-A, and the shares are then available to be sold by the selling stockholders at prevailing market prices. An S-1 registration statement is a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933. In order to qualify to trade on a national exchange, a company must also be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This is not a requirement for OTC Markets. A Form 8-A is a simple (generally 2-page) Exchange Act registration form used instead of a Form 10 for companies that have already filed the substantive Form 10 information with the SEC (generally through an S-1). When the Form 8-A is for registration with a national securities exchange under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the 8-A becomes effective on the later of the day the 8-A if filed, the day the national exchange files a certification with the SEC confirming the listing, or the effective date of the S-1 registration statement. An NYSE direct listing follows the same process on NASDAQ; however, previously NYSE rules required an underwriter to determine or at least sign off on valuation in connection with an initial public offering. On February 2, 2018, the SEC approved a proposed rule change by the NYSE to allow a company that had not previously been registered with the SEC and which is not being listed as part of an underwritten initial public offering, to apply for and if qualified, trade on the NYSE. The amended rules modify the provisions relating to qualification of companies listing without a prior Exchange Act registration in connection with an underwritten initial public offering and amend Exchange rules to address the opening procedures on the first day of trading of such securities. The rule amendments modify the determination of market value such that the NYSE has discretion to determine that a company meets the minimum market value requirements for a listing based on an independent third-party valuation. #LegalAndComplianceLLC
