NYSE Withdraws Proposed Rule to Allow Listing Without an IPO -

On June 19, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) filed a notice withdrawing its proposed rule that would have allowed companies to list on the NYSE without an initial public offering. The proposed rule was previously discussed in the May 5, 2017 edition of the Corporate & Financial Weekly Digest. The proposed rule would have amended Footnote (E) of Section 102.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, specifically the provisions related to the qualification of companies listing without a prior registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
