Summary

The SEC has designated June 4, 2026, as the extended deadline for Commission action on NASDAQ's proposed rule change to adopt IM-5101-4. The proposed rule would authorize NASDAQ to delist a security where the SEC has previously suspended trading and NASDAQ determines it appropriate and in the public interest. The original 45-day review period expired April 20, 2026.

“The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein.”

What changed

The SEC has formally extended the review period for NASDAQ's proposed listing rule IM-5101-4, which would give the exchange authority to delist securities where the SEC has suspended trading. The new deadline for SEC action is June 4, 2026. The underlying proposed rule was published for comment on March 6, 2026, and remains open for public comment.

Affected parties include companies listed on NASDAQ and their compliance teams, who should monitor this proposed rule's progress. If adopted, IM-5101-4 would create an additional pathway for delisting following SEC trading suspensions, independent of NASDAQ's existing delisting procedures. Market participants with securities potentially subject to trading suspensions should understand how this rule could affect their continued listing status.

  1. [Release No. 34-105252; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2026-009] April 16, 2026. On February 20, 2026, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) [1 ] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, [2 ] a proposed rule change to adopt IM-5101-4, which will provide Nasdaq with the authority to delist a security where the Commission has previously suspended trading and Nasdaq determines it appropriate and in the public interest to do so. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 6, 2026. [3 ]

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act [4 ] provides that within 45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change is April 20, 2026. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, [5 ] designates June 4, 2026, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NASDAQ-2026-009).

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority. [6 ]

Sherry R. Haywood,

Assistant Secretary.
