In determining the potential issuance in a transaction, Nasdaq will include all shares that are potentially issuable, even if the circumstances for their issuance are remote. For example, if the company has any anti-dilution features or reset provisions or earn-out or similar provisions that could potentially reach the shareholder approval requirement thresholds, then the company would be required to obtain shareholder approval before issuing shares in the transaction.

Nasdaq’s process for Listing of Additional Shares is a notification process, not an approval process.
There is no supporting documentation required to notify Nasdaq of intent to issue additional shares of the listed class other than the Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form, which must be submitted electronically through the Listing Center. You can preview a copy of Nasdaq’s Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form here.
Staff will review completed LAS transactions for compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules (notably the shareholder approval and voting rights requirements) and will contact your company for additional information only if compliance issues are identified.
If you have further questions, please review these FAQs for important information about Nasdaq’s LAS notification and timing requirements and these FAQs for important information about Nasdaq’s shareholder approval and voting rights rules.

A company is required to notify Nasdaq at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to establishing or materially amending a stock option plan, purchase plan, or other equity compensation arrangement pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants unless shareholder approval has been obtained. This includes a plan that would be used only for inducement awards (the "Inducement Plan"). As such, the company must notify Nasdaq by filing the LAS Notification at least fifteen calendar days prior to establishing the Inducement Plan. Additionally, when a company makes an award from the Inducement Plan to induce an individual to accept employment, it is required to notify Nasdaq by filing the LAS Notification pursuant to Listing Rule 5250(e)(2)(A)(ii) no later than the earlier of: (1) five calendar days after entering into the agreement to issue the securities; or (2) the date the company discloses the material terms of the grant in a press release.

Yes. An LAS Notification Form must be filed fifteen (15) calendar days prior to distributing rights or adopting a poison pill, if the exercise of the rights or triggering of the poison pill may result in the issuance of common stock greater than 10% of either the total shares outstanding or the voting power outstanding on a pre-transaction basis. As always, notice of the distribution must be reported on the Dividend/Distribution/Interest Payment Form, which may be submitted electronically through the Listing Center, as soon as possible after declaration and no later than 10 calendar days prior to record date, and, in any event, no later than simultaneously with the public disclosure notice in order to be in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(e)(6) and Rule 10b-17 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Nasdaq’s process for listing additional shares, unlike that of other exchanges, is NOT an approval process but a notification process.
The form acts as notification to Nasdaq that the company intends to issue the securities and is not an application to list the securities. Nasdaq notifies a company by email when the Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form has been successfully submitted electronically via the Listing Center.
No action beyond filing a Listing Additional Shares Notification Form is required to comply with this rule.
Staff will review completed LAS transactions for compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules (particularly the shareholder approval and voting rights requirements) and will contact your company for additional information only if compliance issues or questions are identified.
If you have further questions, please review these FAQs for important information about Nasdaq’s LAS notification and timing requirements and these FAQs for important information about Nasdaq’s shareholder approval and voting rights rules.

All companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, except companies that list only ADRs or ADSs, are required to notify Nasdaq at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to:
- Issuing any common stock, or security convertible into common stock, in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, if any officer or director or substantial shareholder of the issuer has a five percent or greater interest (or if such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the company or assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid.
- Issuing securities that may potentially result in a change of control of the issuer.
- Establishing, or materially amending, a stock option plan, purchase plan or other equity compensation arrangement, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants unless shareholder approval has been obtained. However, when a company makes an equity grant to induce an individual to accept employment, notification is required to be filed no later than the earlier of: (i) five calendar days after an offer of employment is accepted, or other agreement made, pursuant to which inducement grants will be issued; or, (ii) the date the company discloses the material terms of the grant in a press release.
- Issuing any common stock, or any security convertible into common stock, in a transaction that may result in the potential issuance of common stock, greater than 10% of either the total shares outstanding or the voting power outstanding on a pre-transaction basis.

The percentage of shares of common stock to be issued in a transaction is calculated using the following formula:
Maximum Potential Issuance of Shares of Common Stock
Pre-transaction Issued and Outstanding Shares of Common Stock
To correctly calculate the percentage of shares to be issued, the numerator of this equation must contain all securities initially issued or potentially issuable or potentially exercisable or convertible into shares or common stock as a result of the transaction (e.g., earn-out clauses, penalty provisions, equity compensation awards assumed or in assumed plans, etc.).
To correctly determine the denominator, the company should use only issued and outstanding shares. If the company has multiple classes of common stock, all shares should be added together (see FAQ #288). However, the denominator should not assume the conversion or exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities.
