CONDITIONS FOR OTC.....IM-5505. Initial Listing for Securities below $4
(a) Penny Stock Provisions. Rule 5505(a)(1)(B) provides an alternative initial listing requirement for certain companies with a minimum bid price below $4. A company that qualifies for initial listing only under this alternative could become a "penny stock" if it later fails the net tangible assets and revenue tests after listing and does not satisfy any of the other exclusions from being a penny stock contained in Rule 3a51-1 under the Act. In order to assist brokers' and dealers' compliance with the requirements of the Penny Stock Rules, Nasdaq will monitor companies listed under the alternative requirement and publish on its website on a daily basis a list of any company that initially listed under the alternative requirement, which no longer satisfies the net tangible assets or revenue test contained in Rule 5505(a)(1)(B), and which does not satisfy any of the other exclusions from being a penny stock contained in Rule 3a51-1 under the Act. If a company initially lists with a bid price below $4 under the alternative requirement contained in Rule 5505(a)(1)(B), but subsequently achieves a $4 closing price for at least five consecutive business days and, at the same time, satisfies all other initial listing criteria, it will no longer be considered as having listed under the alternative requirement and Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has qualified for listing under the price requirement contained in Rule 5505(a)(1)(A).
