A company whose business plan is to complete an initial public offering and engage in a merger or acquisition with one or more unidentified companies within a specific period of time, as described in IM-5101-2, is not eligible to list on The NADAQ Global Select Market.2 In calculating income from continuing operations before income taxes for purposes of Rule 5315(f)(3)(A), NASDAQ will rely on a company’s annual financial information as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the company’s most recent periodic report and/or registration statement. If a company does not have three years of publicly reported financial data, it may qualify under Rule 5315(f)(3)(A) if it has: (i) reported aggregate income from continuing operations before income taxes of at least $11 million and (ii) positive income from continuing operations before income taxes in each of the reported fiscal years.

A period of less than three months shall not be considered a fiscal year, even if reported as a stub period in the company’s publicly reported financial statements.4 In the case of a company listing in connection with its initial public offering, compliance with the market capitalization requirements of Rules 5315(f)(3)(B) and 5315(f)(3)(C) will be based on the company’s market capitalization at the time of listing.5 The bid price requirement is not applicable to a company listed on The NASDAQ Global Market that transfers its listing to The NASDAQ Global Select Market.6 A company that also satisfies the requirements of Rule 5405(b)(1) or 5405(b)(2) is required to have three market makers.

积极条件NASDR审查通过后,需有300人以上的公众持股(NON-IPO得在国外设立控股公司,原始股东并须超过300人)才能挂牌,所谓的公众持股依美国证管会手册(SEC Manual)指出,公众持股人之持有股数需要在整股以上,而美国的整股即为基本流通单位100股。
诚信原则纳斯达克流行一句俚语:「Any company can be listed, but time will tell the tale.」(任何公司都能上市,但时间会证明一切)。
纳斯达克上市的条件纳斯达克全球板(Global Market)上市条件及要求1.纳斯达克上市标准有三点:根据名品彩叶的公开资料,单从上市条件上来看,公司基本可以满足纳斯达克全国市场的上市条件,但是纳斯达克全国市场上市股票的首次发行的最低价格不得低于每股5美元,名品彩叶目前的股价为10元每股,PE为36倍,如果要达到首次发行的最低价格不低于每股5美元,PE将达到75倍,鉴于标普500的TTM PE大约为25倍左右,目前纳斯达克没有与名品彩叶同类型的上市公司,预计名品彩叶这种传统农林类公司无法支撑高估值去满足首发5美元的要求。
公司基本最低招股价5美元,股票的首次发行的最低价格不得低于每股5美元,在之后的交易价格需维持在每股1美元以上,以此来避免上市公司有意低价出售,从而保护纳斯达克的信誉。
