David Sakowitz and Ben Smolij Discuss New Delisting Rules for Distressed Companies with Law360
Winston & Strawn partners David Sakowitz and Ben Smolij were quoted in a Law360 article discussing the new stock exchange rules that are likely to accelerate delistings for stocks that trade below minimum requirements. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has recently approved varying rule proposals by Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange that speed up delistings and close perceived loopholes used by companies whose stock prices fall below $1 for long periods. New Nasdaq rules also limit extensions that let companies continue trading while they appeal delistings.

The Nasdaq is an electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Its name was originally an acronym for the “National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations”. Nasdaq started as part of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Nasdaq was created after the Securities and Exchange Commission encouraged NASD to create an automated market for securities not listed on an exchange. The result was the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq opened in 1971 as the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq began to operate as a national securities exchange in 2006.
