The Securities and Exchange Commission approved a proposed rule change by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to amend Section 907.00 of its Listed Company Manual, which extends the period during which newly listed and transfer companies can receive complimentary products and services from 24 to 48 months. These services include market surveillance, web hosting, and analytics, among others, and are provided by third-party vendors. The purpose of this expansion is to help NYSE stay competitive in attracting new listings and transfers by offering extended benefits similar to those provided by Nasdaq. The approval ensures that the rule is transparent and does not discriminate unfairly among companies.
Simple Explanation
The New York Stock Exchange is giving newly listed companies extra free services for twice as long as before, sort of like getting an extended trial period, to make them pick NYSE over other options like Nasdaq.
