All other U.S. markets trading the stock must observe the trading halt as well, including trading that occurs off-exchange in the OTC market. While the halt is in effect, brokerage firms are prohibited from publishing quotations or indications of interest and from trading the stock. The listing exchange will end the trading halt by taking the steps required by its individual rules. In general, the public is made aware that a trading halt is ending at the same time the halt ends or a few minutes before.
The process is similar for OTC stock trading halts. FINRA disseminates a notice of the halt to the marketplace. At that time, broker-dealers may not quote or trade the security until FINRA gives notice that the halt is no longer in effect, or until 10 business days have passed, unless FINRA determines to continue the halt for longer than 10 days.
For over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities, which are generally stocks that are not listed on an exchange, FINRA issues trading and quotation halts under certain circumstances. For example, FINRA may impose a halt if a stock is listed on a foreign securities exchange and that exchange halts trading in the stock for regulatory reasons, typically due to public interest concerns or for a pending news announcement. In addition, FINRA may halt trading and quotation in an OTC stock if the OTC stock is a derivative or component of a stock listed on a U.S. or foreign exchange and such exchange imposes a trading halt in the listed stock.
FINRA also may halt trading and quotation if it determines that an extraordinary event has occurred or is ongoing that has had a material effect on the market for the OTC stock or may cause major disruption to the marketplace or significant uncertainty in the settlement and clearance process.
