Frequently Asked Questions
  When is a company required to file the Listing of Additional Shares (LAS) Notification for an equity compensation plan from which it intends to make inducement awards pursuant to Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
  Will the company be notified that the Listing of Additional Shares Notification has been approved and that the securities are eligible for trading on Nasdaq?
Identification Number 394

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
  When is a company required to file the Listing of Additional Shares (LAS) Notification Form?
Identification Number 382

Frequently Asked Questions
  How is the percentage of shares of common stock to be issued in a transaction calculated?
Identification Number 182
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.
