The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC submitted a proposal to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to change some of its rules for companies that want to list on its markets, particularly those that are doing an initial public offering or moving from another market. These rule changes would require that the necessary market value of publicly held shares come only from the proceeds of these offerings. The SEC has extended the time it will take to make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove these changes. The new deadline for the SEC's decision is March 30, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Nasdaq wants to change some rules about how companies can join their markets, and the team that checks these rules needs more time to decide if the changes are okay. They have until March 30, 2025, to make their decision.
