Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34–88868; File No. SR– NASDAQ–2020–024] 1. Purpose Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Modify the Implementation Date for a Recent Rule Change Modifying the Delisting Process for Certain Securities With a Bid Price at or Below $0.10 or That Have Had Reverse Stock Splits With a Cumulative Ratio of 250 or More to One Over the Prior Two-Year Period May 14, 2020. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on May 1, 2020, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to modify the implementation date and process for rule changes adopted in SR-Nasdaq2020–001. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s website at https://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. 1 15 2 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 May 19, 2020 Jkt 250001 On January 2, 2020, Nasdaq filed with the Commission a proposed rule change to modify the delisting process for securities with a bid price at or below $0.10 and for securities that have had one or more reverse stock splits with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one over the prior two year period.3 The Commission approved this proposed rule change on April 21, 2020.4 In its filing, Nasdaq stated that this rule change would be implemented for companies that first receive notification of noncompliance with the bid price requirement after the date of the Commission’s approval of the changes. However, Nasdaq does not believe it is appropriate to implement this new requirement, which would affect low priced stocks, during a time when the U.S. and global equities markets have experienced unprecedented marketwide declines as a result of the ongoing spread of the COVID–19 virus and companies face highly unusual market conditions.5 Accordingly, Nasdaq is filing this rule change to delay the implementation date and process for the changes adopted in SR–Nasdaq–2020– 001. As revised, Nasdaq will implement these rule changes for companies that first receive notification of noncompliance with the bid price requirement on or after September 1, 2020. A company that receives notification of non-compliance prior to that date will not be subject to the rule changes. While Nasdaq rules may allow a company two 180-day periods to regain compliance with the bid price requirement in certain circumstances, a company is not eligible for the second compliance period ‘‘if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the Company to cure the deficiency.’’ 6 As is currently the case, Nasdaq may rely 3 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 87982 (January 15, 2020), 85 FR 3736 (January 22, 2020) (SR–Nasdaq–2020–001). 4 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88716 (April 21, 2020), 85 FR 23393 (April 27, 2020). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88685 (April 17, 2020), 85 FR 22777 (April 23, 2020) (permitting companies a longer period of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s bid price and market value of publicly held shares continued listing requirements by tolling the compliance periods through and including June 30, 2020, due to market disruptions caused by the COVID–19 virus). 6 Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(A)(i) and (ii). PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30775 upon this language to deny the second compliance period to a company with a very low stock price or that has engaged in significant prior reverse stock splits, even though the company is not yet subject to the rule changes. Until all companies are subject to the rule changes, Nasdaq will include a statement at the start of Rule 5810 and Rule 5815 explaining that the rule was recently amended, describing the nature of the amendment, and specifying the effective date for the rule changes, along with a link to the revised rules. Starting September 1, 2020, Rules 5810 and 5815 will reflect the rule changes, but until all companies are subject to the rule changes Nasdaq will include a statement at the start of Rule 5810 and Rule 5815 explaining that the rule was recently amended, describing the nature of the amendment, and specifying the effective date for the rule changes, along with a link to the rules as they existed before the amendment. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,7 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest, by delaying the implementation date of the rule changes in light of market declines and disruptions as a result of the COVID–19 virus and actions taken to address the pandemic. Until these rule changes are implemented, Nasdaq will continue to apply its prior rules and, notwithstanding the proposed delay in implementing the effective date of the rule changes, would not provide a company with a second 180-day compliance period for a bid price deficiency if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the company to cure the deficiency. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change impacts unique Nasdaq listing rules. While Nasdaq does not believe there will be any impact on competition from the rule changes or the proposed change to the 7 15 8 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM 20MYN1 30776 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 98 / Wednesday, May 20, 2020 / Notices implementation schedule of the rule changes, any impact on competition that does arise from the revised implementation schedule is necessary to reflect concerns about market conditions in light of the COVID–19 pandemic. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(6) thereunder.10 A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the Act 11 normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 12 permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative upon filing. The Exchange stated that such waiver would ensure that there is no confusion about the implementation schedule for the rule change. The Exchange further stated that it believes waiver is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because it would merely provide a delay, until September 1, 2020, in the implementation of an approved rule change due to the highly unusual market conditions resulting from the ongoing spread of the COVID–19 virus. The Exchange further noted that investors will continue to be protected by Nasdaq’s other bid price rules, which will continue to apply during that time, 9 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 12 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 10 17 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 May 19, 2020 Jkt 250001 subject to a temporary tolling of compliance periods through and including June 30, 2020, as described above. The Commission notes that the proposal is a temporary measure to delay the effectiveness of an approved rule change until September 1, 2020 in light of current market conditions. Further, Nasdaq’s existing bid price rules will continue to apply, including its ability to deny a company a second compliance period if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the company to cure the deficiency. The waiver of the operative delay will also help to ensure that all companies have the same rules applied to them as to bid price deficiencies as of the date of the filing of this rule change to delay the implementation date of the new rules. For these reasons, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon filing.13 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549–1090. All submissions should refer to File Number SR–NASDAQ–2020–024. This file number should be included on the subject line if email is used.

The Commission will post all comments on the Commission’s internet website (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml).

is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule 
change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to modify the implementation date and process 
for rule changes adopted in SR-Nasdaq-2020-001.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at https://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of 
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in 
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On January 2, 2020, Nasdaq filed with the Commission a proposed 
rule change to modify the delisting process for securities with a bid 
price at or below $0.10 and for securities that have had one or more 
reverse stock splits with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to 
one over the prior two year period.\3\ The Commission approved this 
proposed rule change on April 21, 2020.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 87982 (January 15, 
2020), 85 FR 3736 (January 22, 2020) (SR-Nasdaq-2020-001).
    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88716 (April 21, 2020), 
85 FR 23393 (April 27, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing, Nasdaq stated that this rule change would be 
implemented for companies that first receive notification of 
noncompliance with the bid price requirement after the date of the 
Commission's approval of the changes. However, Nasdaq does not believe 
it is appropriate to implement this new requirement, which would affect 
low priced stocks, during a time when the U.S. and global equities 
markets have experienced unprecedented market-wide declines as a result 
of the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 virus and companies face highly 
unusual market conditions.\5\ Accordingly, Nasdaq is filing this rule 
change to delay the implementation date and process for the changes 
adopted in SR-Nasdaq-2020-001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88685 (April 17, 
2020), 85 FR 22777 (April 23, 2020) (permitting companies a longer 
period of time to regain compliance with Nasdaq's bid price and 
market value of publicly held shares continued listing requirements 
by tolling the compliance periods through and including June 30, 
2020, due to market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 virus).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As revised, Nasdaq will implement these rule changes for companies 
that first receive notification of noncompliance with the bid price 
requirement on or after September 1, 2020. A company that receives 
notification of non-compliance prior to that date will not be subject 
to the rule changes.
    While Nasdaq rules may allow a company two 180-day periods to 
regain compliance with the bid price requirement in certain 
circumstances, a company is not eligible for the second compliance 
period ``if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the 
Company to cure the deficiency.'' \6\ As is currently the case, Nasdaq 
may rely upon this language to deny the second compliance period to a 
company with a very low stock price or that has engaged in significant 
prior reverse stock splits, even though the company is not yet subject 
to the rule changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(A)(i) and (ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Until all companies are subject to the rule changes, Nasdaq will 
include a statement at the start of Rule 5810 and Rule 5815 explaining 
that the rule was recently amended, describing the nature of the 
amendment, and specifying the effective date for the rule changes, 
along with a link to the revised rules. Starting September 1, 2020, 
Rules 5810 and 5815 will reflect the rule changes, but until all 
companies are subject to the rule changes Nasdaq will include a 
statement at the start of Rule 5810 and Rule 5815 explaining that the 
rule was recently amended, describing the nature of the amendment, and 
specifying the effective date for the rule changes, along with a link 
to the rules as they existed before the amendment.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote 
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and 
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market 
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest, 
by delaying the implementation date of the rule changes in light of 
market declines and disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 virus and 
actions taken to address the pandemic. Until these rule changes are 
implemented, Nasdaq will continue to apply its prior rules and, 
notwithstanding the proposed delay in implementing the effective date 
of the rule changes, would not provide a company with a second 180-day 
compliance period for a bid price deficiency if it does not appear to 
Nasdaq that it is possible for the company to cure the deficiency.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will 
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change 
impacts unique Nasdaq listing rules. While Nasdaq does not believe 
there will be any impact on competition from the rule changes or the 
proposed change to the

[[Page 30776]]

implementation schedule of the rule changes, any impact on competition 
that does arise from the revised implementation schedule is necessary 
to reflect concerns about market conditions in light of the COVID-19 
pandemic.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) 
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public 
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) 
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or 
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become 
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) 
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission 
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along 
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at 
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed 
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. 
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the 
Act \11\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date 
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ permits the 
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent 
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange 
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that 
the proposal may become operative upon filing. The Exchange stated that 
such waiver would ensure that there is no confusion about the 
implementation schedule for the rule change. The Exchange further 
stated that it believes waiver is consistent with the protection of 
investors and the public interest because it would merely provide a 
delay, until September 1, 2020, in the implementation of an approved 
rule change due to the highly unusual market conditions resulting from 
the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Exchange further noted 
that investors will continue to be protected by Nasdaq's other bid 
price rules, which will continue to apply during that time, subject to 
a temporary tolling of compliance periods through and including June 
30, 2020, as described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the proposal is a temporary measure to 
delay the effectiveness of an approved rule change until September 1, 
2020 in light of current market conditions. Further, Nasdaq's existing 
bid price rules will continue to apply, including its ability to deny a 
company a second compliance period if it does not appear to Nasdaq that 
it is possible for the company to cure the deficiency. The waiver of 
the operative delay will also help to ensure that all companies have 
the same rules applied to them as to bid price deficiencies as of the 
date of the filing of this rule change to delay the implementation date 
of the new rules. For these reasons, the Commission believes that 
waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection 
of investors and the public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby 
waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change 
operative upon filing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
