Email In light of the market-wide declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 19, 2020, the New York Stock Exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proposed suspension of its listing requirement that companies must maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period of at least $15 million (the “Market Cap Standard”). On March 20, 2020, the SEC granted NYSE’s proposed suspension of the Market Cap Standard until June 30, 2020, and also designated the suspension operative upon NYSE’s filing, thereby waiving the standard 30-day operative delay of proposed rule changes. Additionally, on March 26, 2020, the Nasdaq Stock Market announced that it will consider the effects of COVID-19 in its review of requests for financial viability exceptions to Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/covid-19-update-nyse-and-nasdaq-consider-impact-of-covid-19
