The Company must notify the Exchange at least fifteen calendar days in advance of the effective date of any Substitution Listing Event. Companies should note that these types of changes may affect the Company's compliance with the listing requirements and may require the Exchange to file a new rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Act and for such rule filing to be approved by the SEC or otherwise take effect (as applicable), before the product subject to the Substitution Listing Event can be listed or traded. The Exchange has sole discretion as to whether it chooses to submit a rule filing designed to permit the continued listing of the security and, if submitted, whether to withdraw such rule filing. As such, Companies are encouraged to consult with Exchange staff sufficiently in advance of such changes to allow review and preparation of a rule filing and SEC approval, if necessary.

(c) If a Company effectuates any change, including a Substitution Listing Event, which requires the filing of a proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Act and such rule filing has not yet been approved by the SEC or has not yet taken effect (as applicable), then the Exchange will immediately halt trading in the applicable security until such rule filing is approved or takes effect. If a rule filing is required but the Exchange determines not to submit one or withdraws the rule filing after it is submitted, or the SEC disapproves the rule filing, the Exchange will immediately commence delisting procedures with respect to such security.

(d) A Company with securities listed under this Rule 5700 Series must provide the Exchange with prompt notification after the Company becomes aware of any noncompliance by the Company with the requirements of the Rule 5700 Series.

(1) Definitions. The following terms shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings herein specified:

(A) Index Fund Share. The term "Index Fund Share" means a security:

(i) that is issued by an open-end management investment company based on a portfolio of stocks or fixed income securities or a combination thereof, that seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance or total return performance of a specified foreign or domestic stock index, fixed income securities index or combination thereof;

(ii) that is issued by such an open-end management investment company in a specified aggregate minimum number in return for a deposit of specified numbers of shares of stock and/or a cash amount, a specified portfolio of fixed income securities and/or a cash amount and/or a combination of the above, with a value equal to the next determined net asset value; and

(iii) that, when aggregated in the same specified minimum number, may be redeemed at a holder's request by such open-end investment company which will pay to the redeeming holder the stock and/or cash, fixed income securities and/or cash and/or a combination thereof, with a value equal to the next determined net asset value.

(B)

(i) The term "Index Fund Share" includes a security issued by an open-end management investment company that seeks to provide investment results that either exceed the performance of a specified domestic equity, international or global equity, or fixed income index or a combination thereof by a specified multiple ("Multiple Share") or that correspond to the inverse (opposite) of the performance of a specified domestic equity, international or global equity, or fixed income index or a combination thereof by a specified multiple ("Inverse Share"). Such a security is issued in a specified aggregate number in return for a deposit of a specified number of shares of stock, a specified portfolio of fixed income securities or a combination of the above and/or cash as defined in subparagraph (1)(B)(ii) of this rule with a value equal to the next determined net asset value. When aggregated in the same specified minimum number, Index Fund Shares may be redeemed at a holder's request by such open-end investment company which will pay to the redeeming holder the stock, fixed income securities or a combination thereof and/or cash with a value equal to the next determined net asset value.

(ii) In order to achieve the investment result that it seeks to provide, such an investment company may hold a combination of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, stock index futures contracts; options on futures contracts; options on securities and indices; equity caps, collars and floors; swap agreements; forward contracts; repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements (the "Financial Instruments"), but only to the extent and in the amounts or percentages as set forth in the registration statement for such Index Fund Shares.

(iii) Any open-end management investment company which issues Index Fund Shares referenced in this subparagraph (1)(B) that seeks to provide investment results, before fees and expenses, in an amount that exceeds -300% of the percentage performance on a given day of a particular domestic equity, international or global equity or fixed income securities index or a combination thereof shall not be approved by the Exchange for listing and trading pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act.

(iv) For the initial and continued listing of a series of Multiple or Inverse Shares, the following requirements must be adhered to:

Daily public website disclosure of portfolio holdings that will form the basis for the calculation of the net asset value by the issuer of such series of Multiple or Inverse Shares, including, as applicable, the following instruments:

b. The identity and amount held for each specific fixed income security;

c. The specific types of Financial Instruments and characteristics of such Financial Instruments; and

d. Cash equivalents and the amount of cash held in the portfolio.

Due to the compounding of daily returns, holding periods of greater than one day can result in returns that are significantly different than the target return. Investors should consult the prospectus for further details on the calculation of the returns and the risks associated with investing in this product.”

If the Exchange becomes aware that the net asset value related to Multiple or Inverse Shares is not being disseminated to all market participants at the same time or the daily public website disclosure of portfolio holdings does not occur, the Exchange shall halt trading in such series of Index Fund Shares, as appropriate. The Exchange may resume trading in such Index Fund Shares only when the net asset value is disseminated to all market participants at the same time or the daily public website disclosure of portfolio holdings occurs, as appropriate.

(C) Reporting Authority. The term "Reporting Authority" in respect of a particular series of Index Fund Shares means the Exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Exchange, or an institution or reporting service designated by the Exchange or its subsidiary as the official source for calculating and reporting information relating to such series, including, but not limited to, any current index or portfolio value; the current value of the portfolio of any securities required to be deposited in connection with issuance of Index Fund Shares; the amount of any dividend equivalent payment or cash distribution to holders of Index Fund Shares, net asset value, and other information relating to the issuance, redemption or trading of Index Fund Shares.

Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that an institution or reporting service that is the source for calculating and reporting information relating to Index Fund Shares must be designated by the Exchange; the term "Reporting Authority" shall not refer to an institution or reporting service not so designated.

(i) If an index is maintained by a broker-dealer or fund advisor, the broker-dealer or fund advisor shall erect and maintain a "fire wall" around the personnel who have access to information concerning changes and adjustments to the index and the index shall be calculated by a third party who is not a broker-dealer or fund advisor;

(ii) The current composite index value will be widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors at least once every 15 seconds during Market Hours, provided however, that (a) with respect to the Non-U.S. Component Stocks of the combination index, the impact on the index is only required to be updated at least every 60 seconds during the Market Hours, and (b) with respect to the fixed income components of the combination index the impact on the index is only required to be updated at least once each day; and

(iii) Any advisory committee, supervisory board, or similar entity that advises a Reporting Authority or that makes decisions on index composition, methodology and related matters, must implement and maintain, or be subject to, procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material non-public information regarding the applicable index.

(6) The following provisions shall apply to all series of Index Fund Shares listed pursuant Rules 5705(b)(4) and (5) above on an initial and, except for paragraph (B) below, continued listing basis:

(A) Disseminated Information. Where a series of Index Fund Shares does not publish its Portfolio Holdings on its website on a daily basis, the Reporting Authority will disseminate for each series of Index Fund Shares an estimate, updated at least every 15 seconds, of the value of a share of each series (the "Intraday Indicative Value"). The Intraday Indicative Value may be based, for example, upon current information regarding the required deposit of securities and cash amount to permit creation of new shares of the series or upon the index value. The Intraday Indicative Value may be calculated by the Exchange or by an independent third party throughout the day using prices obtained from independent market data providers or other independent pricing sources such as a broker-dealer or price evaluation services. Where a series of Index Fund Shares publishes its Portfolio Holdings on its website on a daily basis, there is no obligation to disseminate an Intraday Indicative Value.

(B) Initial Shares Outstanding. A minimum of 100,000 shares of a series of Index Fund Shares is required to be outstanding at start-up of trading.

(C) Surveillance Procedures. FINRA will implement and maintain written surveillance procedures for Index Fund Shares.

(7) Market Hours trading will occur between 9:30 a.m. and either 4:00 p.m. or 4:15 p.m. for each series of Index Fund Shares, as specified by the Exchange. In addition, the Exchange may designate each series of Index Fund Shares for trading during Pre-Market Hours or Post-Market Hours.

(8) The Exchange may list and trade Index Fund Shares based on one or more foreign or domestic indexes or portfolios. Each issue of Index Fund Shares based on each particular index or portfolio, or combination thereof, shall be designated as a separate series and shall be identified by a unique symbol. The components that are included in an index or portfolio on which a series of Index Fund Shares are based shall be selected by such person, which may be the Exchange or an agent or wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, as shall have authorized use of such index or portfolio. Such index or portfolio may be revised from time to time as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to maintain the quality and character of the index or portfolio.

(9) Each series of Index Fund Shares will be listed and traded on the Exchange subject to application of the following criteria:

(A) Initial Listing

(i) for each series, the Exchange will establish a minimum number of Index Fund Shares required to be outstanding at the time of commencement of trading on the Exchange.

(ii) The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of each series of Index Fund Shares that the net asset value per share for the series will be calculated daily and will be made available to all market participants at the same time.

(B) Continued Listing

(i) The Exchange will consider the suspension of trading in, and will initiate delisting proceedings under the Rule 5800 Series of, a series of Index Fund Shares under any of the following circumstances:

a. if any of the requirements set forth in this rule are not continuously maintained;

b. if the Exchange files separate proposals under Section 19(b) of the Act, any of the statements or representations regarding (a) the index composition; (b) the description of the portfolio; (c) limitations on portfolio holdings or reference assets; (d) dissemination and availability of the index or intraday indicative values; or (e) the applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in such proposals are not continuously maintained as referenced in subsection 10 of this rule;

c. if, following the initial twelve month period after commencement of trading on the Exchange of a series of Index Fund Shares, there are fewer than 50 beneficial holders of the series of Index Fund Shares;

d. if the value of the index or portfolio of securities on which the series of Index Fund Shares is based is no longer calculated or available or an interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred or the index or portfolio on which the series of Index Fund Shares is based is replaced with a new index or portfolio, unless the new index or portfolio meets the requirements of this Rule 5705(b) for listing either pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act (including the filing of a Form 19b-4(e) with the Commission) or by Commission approval of a filing pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act;

e. if the Intraday Indicative Value, if applicable, is no longer disseminated at least every 15 seconds during the Exchange's Market Hours and the interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred; or

f. if such other event shall occur or condition exists which in the opinion of the Exchange, makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable.

Upon termination of an open-end management investment company, the Exchange requires that Index Fund Shares issued in connection with such entity be removed from listing.

(C) Voting — voting rights shall be as set forth in the applicable open-end management investment company prospectus.

(10) The Exchange may submit a rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act to permit the listing and trading of Index Fund Shares that do not otherwise meet the standards set forth in this rule. Any of the statements or representations regarding (a) the index composition; (b) the description of the portfolio; (c) limitations on portfolio holdings or reference assets; (d) dissemination and availability of the index or intraday indicative values; or (e) the applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in such proposals constitute continued listing standards.

(11) Neither the Exchange, the Reporting Authority, nor any agent of the Exchange shall have any liability for damages, claims, losses or expenses caused by any errors, omissions, or delays in calculating or disseminating any current index or portfolio value, the current value of the portfolio of securities required to be deposited to the open-end management investment company in connection with issuance of Index Fund Shares; the amount of any dividend equivalent payment or cash distribution to holders of Index Fund Shares; net asset value; or other information relating to the purchase, redemption or trading of Index Fund Shares, resulting from any negligent act or omission by the Exchange, the Reporting Authority or any agent of the Exchange, or any act, condition or cause beyond the reasonable control of the Exchange, its agent, or the Reporting Authority, including, but not limited to, an act of God; fire; flood; extraordinary weather conditions; war; insurrection; riot; strike; accident; action of government; communications or power failure; equipment or software malfunction; or any error, omission or delay in the reports of transactions in one or more underlying securities.

Amended Jun. 18, 2026 (SR-NasdaqTX-2026-021).

The Exchange will consider for listing and trading equity index-linked securities ("Equity Index-Linked Securities") and commodity-linked securities ("Commodity-Linked Securities"), fixed income index-linked securities ("Fixed Income Index-Linked Securities"), futures-linked securities ("Futures-Linked Securities") and multifactor index-linked securities ("Multifactor Index-Linked Securities" and, together with Equity Index-Linked Securities, Commodity-Linked Securities, Fixed Income Index-Linked Securities and Futures-Linked Securities, "Linked Securities") that in each case meet the applicable criteria of this Rule.

Equity Index-Linked Securities are securities that provide for the payment at maturity of a cash amount based on the performance of an underlying equity index or indexes (an "Equity Reference Asset").

The payment at maturity with respect to Commodity-Linked Securities is based on one or more physical Commodities or Commodity futures, options or other Commodity derivatives, Commodity-Related Securities, or a basket or index of any of the foregoing (any such basis for payment is referred to below as the "Commodity Reference Asset"). The terms "Commodity" and "Commodity-Related Security" are defined in Rule 4630.

The payment at maturity with respect to Fixed Income Index-Linked Securities is based on the performance of one or more indexes or portfolios of notes, bonds, debentures or evidence of indebtedness that include, but are not limited to, U.S. Department of Treasury securities ("Treasury Securities"), government-sponsored entity securities ("GSE Securities"), municipal securities, trust preferred securities, supranational debt and debt of a foreign country or a subdivision thereof or a basket or index of any of the foregoing (a "Fixed Income Reference Asset").

The payment at maturity with respect to Futures-Linked Securities is based on the performance of an index of (a) futures on Treasury Securities, GSE Securities, supranational debt and debt of a foreign country or a subdivision thereof, or options or other derivatives on any of the foregoing; or (b) interest rate futures or options or derivatives on the foregoing in this subparagraph (b); or (c) CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) Futures (a "Futures Reference Asset").

The payment at maturity with respect to Multifactor Index-Linked Securities is based on the performance of any combination of two or more Equity Reference Assets, Commodity Reference Assets, Fixed Income Reference Assets or Futures Reference Assets (a "Multifactor Reference Asset", and together with Equity Reference Asset, Commodity Reference Asset, Fixed Income Reference Asset and Futures Reference Asset, "Reference Assets"). A Multifactor Reference Asset may include as a component a notional investment in cash or a cash equivalent based on a widely accepted overnight loan interest rate, LIBOR, Prime Rate, or an implied interest rate based on observed market spot and foreign currency forward rates.

Linked Securities may or may not provide for the repayment of the original principal investment amount. The Exchange will consider Linked Securities for listing and trading pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act, provided:

(a) Both the issue and the issuer of such security initially meet and continuously maintain the criteria for other securities set forth in Rule 5730(a), except that if the security is traded in $1,000 denominations or is redeemable at the option of holders thereof on at least a weekly basis, then no minimum number of holders and no minimum public distribution of trading units shall be required..

(b) The issue has a term of not less than one (1) year and not greater than thirty (30) years.

(c) The issue must, on an initial and continued listing basis, be the non-convertible debt of the Company.

(d) On an initial and continued listing basis, the payment at maturity may or may not provide for a multiple of the direct or inverse performance of an underlying index, indexes or Reference Asset; however, in no event will a loss (negative payment) at maturity be accelerated by a multiple that exceeds three times the performance of an underlying index, indexes or Reference Asset.

In addition, as applicable, the issuer of the Linked Security must include a statement on a public website in substantially the following form: “The <the series of Linked Securities> seeks returns that are <leverage or inverse factor or percentage> the returns of the <underlying index or Reference Asset> for a single day. Due to the compounding of daily returns, holding periods of greater than one day can result in returns that are significantly different than the target return. Investors should consult the prospectus for further details on the calculation of the returns and the risks associated with investing in this product.”

(e) On an initial and continued listing basis, the Company will be expected to have a minimum tangible net worth in excess of $250,000,000 (if the Linked Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by an affiliate of the Company, the Exchange will rely on such affiliate's tangible net worth for purposes of this requirement). In the alternative, the Company will be expected to have a minimum tangible net worth of $150,000,000 and the original issue price of the Linked Securities, combined with all of the Company's other Linked Securities listed on a national securities exchange or otherwise publicly traded in the United States, must not be greater than 25 percent of the Company's tangible net worth at the time of issuance (if the Linked Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by an affiliate of the Company, the Exchange will apply the provisions of this paragraph to such affiliate instead of the Company and will include in its calculation all Linked Securities that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such affiliate). Government issuers and supranational entities will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

(f) On an initial and continued listing basis, the Company is in compliance with Rule 10A-3 under the Act.

(g) Maintenance and Dissemination

(i) If the index is maintained by a broker-dealer, the broker-dealer shall erect and maintain a "fire wall" around the personnel who have access to information concerning changes and adjustments to the index and the index shall be calculated by a third party who is not a broker-dealer.

(ii) Unless the Commission order applicable under paragraph (k) or (l) hereof provides otherwise, the current value of the index or the Reference Asset (as applicable) will be widely disseminated at least every 15 seconds during the Exchange’s  Market Hours, except as provided in the next clause (iii).

(iii) The values of the following indexes need not be calculated and widely disseminated at least every 15 seconds if, after the close of trading, the indicative value of the Equity Index-Linked Security based on one or more of such indexes is calculated and disseminated to provide an updated value: CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index(sm), CBOE DJIA Buy Write Index(sm), CBOE Nasdaq-100 BuyWrite Index(sm).

(iv) If the value of a Linked Security is based on more than one index, then the dissemination requirement of this paragraph (g) applies to the composite value of such indexes.

(v) In the case of a Commodity-Linked Security that is periodically redeemable, the indicative value of the subject Commodity-Linked Security must be calculated and widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors on at least a 15-second basis during the Exchange’s Market Hours.

The provisions of sections (ii), (iii) and (v) of this paragraph shall be satisfied on an initial and continued listing basis.

(h) Trading Halts. In the case of Linked Securities, if the indicative value (if required to be disseminated) or the Reference Asset value is not being disseminated as required, or if the value of the index is not being disseminated as required, the Exchange may halt trading during the day on which such interruption occurs. The Exchange will halt trading no later than the beginning of trading following the trading day when the interruption commenced if such interruption persists at this time.

(i) Surveillance Procedures. FINRA will implement and maintain on behalf of the Exchange written surveillance procedures for Linked Securities. The Exchange will enter into adequate comprehensive surveillance sharing agreements for non-U.S. securities, as applicable.

(j) Linked Securities will be treated as equity instruments. Furthermore, for the purpose of fee determination, Linked Securities shall be deemed and treated as Other Securities.

(k) Linked Securities

(i) Equity Index-Linked Securities Criteria

(A) In the case of an Equity Index-Linked Security, each underlying index is required to have at least ten (10) component securities; provided, however, that there shall be no minimum number of component securities if one or more issues of Derivative Securities Products (which are defined in Rule 5705(b)(3)(A)(i)(a)), Linked Securities (as described in Rule 5710), or securities listed on another national securities exchange pursuant to substantially equivalent listing rules, constitute, at least in part, component securities underlying an issue of Equity Index-Linked Securities.

(1) have been reviewed and approved for the trading of Index Fund Shares or options or other derivatives by the Commission under Section 19(b)(2) of the Act and rules thereunder and the conditions set forth in the Commission's approval order, including comprehensive surveillance sharing agreements for non-U.S. stocks, continue to be satisfied, or

(2) the index or indexes meet the following criteria:

(a) Each component security (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) has a minimum market value of at least $75 million, except that for each of the lowest weighted component securities in the index that in the aggregate account for no more than 10% of the weight of the index(excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities), the market value can be at least $50 million;

(B) Continued Listing Criteria

(1) The Exchange will commence delisting or removal proceedings (unless the Commission has approved the continued trading of the subject Equity Index-Linked Security), if any of the standards set forth above in paragraph A are not continuously maintained, except that:

(a) the criteria that no single component represent more than 25% of the dollar weight of the index (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) and, to the extent applicable, the five highest dollar weighted components in the index (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) cannot represent more than 50% (or 60% for indexes with less than 25 components) of the dollar weight of the index, need only be satisfied at the time the index is rebalanced; and

(b) Component stocks (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) that in the aggregate account for at least 90% of the weight of the index (excluding Derivative Securities Products and Linked Securities) each shall have a minimum global monthly trading volume of 500,000 shares, or minimum global notional volume traded per month of $12,500,000, averaged over the last six months.

(2) In connection with an Equity Index-Linked Security that is listed pursuant to paragraph (i)(A)(1) above, the Exchange will commence delisting or removal proceedings (unless the Commission has approved the continued trading of the subject Equity Index-Linked Security) if an underlying index or indexes fails to satisfy the maintenance standards or conditions for such index or indexes as set forth by the Commission in its order under Section 19(b)(2) of the Act approving the index or indexes for the trading of options or other derivatives.

(3) The Exchange will consider the suspension of trading in, and will initiate delisting proceedings under the Rule 5800 Series (unless the Commission has approved the continued trading of the subject Equity Index-Linked Security), under any of the following circumstances:

(c) if such other event shall occur or condition exists which in the opinion of the Exchange makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable.

Amended Jun. 18, 2026 (SR-NasdaqTX-2026-021).

(a) Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes

Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes which are exchangeable debt securities that are exchangeable at the option of the holder (subject to the requirement that the holder in most circumstances exchange a specified minimum amount of notes), on call by the issuer or at maturity for a cash amount (the "Cash Value Amount") based on the reported market prices of the underlying stocks of an underlying index will be considered for listing and trading by the Exchange pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act, provided:

(i) Both the issue and the issuer of such security initially meet and continuously maintain the requirements of Rule 5730, Listing Requirements for Securities Not Specified Above (Other Securities), except that the minimum public distribution shall be 150,000 notes with a minimum of 400 public note-holders, except, if traded in thousand dollar denominations or redeemable at the option of the holders thereof on at least a weekly basis, then no minimum public distribution and no minimum number of holders.

(ii) The issue has a minimum term of one year.

(iii) On an initial and continued listing basis, the issuer will be expected to have a minimum tangible net worth in excess of $250,000,000, and to otherwise substantially exceed the earnings requirements set forth in Rule 5405(b). In the alternative, the issuer will be expected: (A) to have a minimum tangible net worth of $150,000,000 and to otherwise substantially exceed the earnings requirements set forth in Rule 5405(b); and (B) not to have issued Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes where the original issue price of all the issuer's other index-linked exchangeable note offerings (combined with other index-linked exchangeable note offerings of the issuer's affiliates) listed on a national securities exchange exceeds 25% of the issuer's net worth.

(iv) The index to which an exchangeable-note is linked shall either be (A) indices that have been created by a third party and been reviewed and have been approved for the trading of options or other derivatives securities (each, a "Third-Party Index") either by the Commission under Section 19(b) of the Act and rules thereunder or by the Exchange under rules adopted pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e); or (B) indices which the issuer has created and for which the Exchange will have obtained approval from either the Commission pursuant to Section 19(b) and rules thereunder or from the Exchange under rules adopted pursuant to Rule 19b-4(e) (each an "Issuer Index"). The Issuer Indices and their underlying securities must meet one of the following on an initial and continued listing basis:

(A) the procedures and criteria set forth in Options 4A, Section 4(b) and (c), or

(B) the criteria set forth in Rules 5715(b)(3) and (4), the index concentration limits set forth in Options 4A, Section 4, and Options 4A, Section 4(b)(12) insofar as it relates to Options 4A, Section 4(b)(6).

(v) Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes will be treated as equity instruments.

(vi) This section contains the continued listing requirements for Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes. If a series of Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes does not satisfy these requirements, the Exchange may halt trading in the securities and will initiate delisting proceedings pursuant to the Rule 5800 Series.

a. The Intraday Indicative Value of the subject Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes must be calculated and widely disseminated by the Exchange or one or more major market data vendors on at least a 15- second basis during Market Hours (as defined in Equity 1, Section 1(a)(13)). For purposes of this Rule, the term "Intraday Indicative Value" means an estimate of the value of a note or a share of the series of Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes. If an interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred, the Exchange may halt trading in the securities and will initiate delisting proceedings pursuant to the Rule 5800 Series.

b. The value of the underlying index must be publicly available to investors, on a real time basis, every 15 seconds. If an interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred, the Exchange may halt trading in the securities and will initiate delisting proceedings pursuant to the Rule 5800 Series.

c. Beginning twelve months after the initial issuance of a series of index-linked exchangeable notes, the Exchange will consider the suspension of trading in, and will initiate delisting proceedings under the Rule 5800 Series of, that series of Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes under any of the following circumstances:

(A) if the series has fewer than 50,000 notes issued and outstanding;

(B) if the market value of all Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes of that series issued and outstanding is less than $1,000,000;

d. If the Exchange submits a rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act to permit the listing and trading of Index-Linked Exchangeable Notes that do not otherwise meet the standards set forth in this rule and any of the statements or representations regarding (a) the index composition; (b) the index or intraday indicative value; or (c) the applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in such proposals are not continuously maintained;

e. if any of the requirements set forth in this rule are not continuously maintained; or

f. if such other event shall occur or such other condition exists which in the opinion of the Exchange makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable.

(b) Equity Gold Shares

(i) The provisions of this sub-paragraph (b) apply only to Equity Gold Shares that represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Equity Gold Trust. While Equity Gold Shares are not technically Index Fund Shares and thus are not covered by  Rule 5705, all other rules that reference "Index Fund Shares" shall also apply to Equity Gold Shares.

(ii) Except to the extent that specific provisions in this rule govern, or unless the context otherwise requires, the provisions of all other Exchange Rules and policies shall be applicable to the trading of Equity Gold Shares on the Exchange.

(iii) The provisions set forth in Rule 5711(d) shall also apply to Equity Gold Shares.

(c) Trust Certificates

The Exchange will consider for trading, whether by listing or pursuant to unlisted trading privileges, certificates ("Trust Certificates") representing an interest in a special purpose trust (the "Trust") created pursuant to a trust agreement. The Trust will only issue Trust Certificates. Trust Certificates may or may not provide for the repayment of the original principal investment amount.

(i) Trust Certificates pay an amount at maturity which is based upon the performance of specified assets as set forth below:

(A) an underlying index or indexes of equity securities (an "Equity Reference Asset");

(B) instruments that are direct obligations of the issuing company, either exercisable throughout their life (i.e., American style) or exercisable only on their expiration date (i.e., European style), entitling the holder to a cash settlement in U.S. dollars to the extent that the foreign or domestic index has declined below (for a put warrant) or increased above (for a call warrant) the pre-stated cash settlement value of the index ("Index Warrants"); or

(C) a combination of two or more Equity Reference Assets or Index Warrants.

(ii) The Exchange will file separate proposals under Section 19(b) of the Act before listing and trading Trust Certificates. Any of the statements or representations regarding (a) the description of the index, reference assets, or trust holdings; (b) limitations on index composition, reference assets, or trust holdings; (c) dissemination and availability of the index, reference asset, or intraday indicative values; or (d) the applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in such proposals shall constitute continued listing standards.

In the event that the Trust Certificates are exchangeable at the option of the holder and contain an Index Warrant, then a Member must ensure that the Member's account is approved for options trading in accordance with NTX Options Rules in order to exercise such rights.

Such securities will be evaluated for listing against the following criteria:

Amended Jun. 18, 2026 (SR-NasdaqTX-2026-021).

The Exchange will list Contingent Value Rights (“CVRs”) on the Exchange. CVRs are unsecured obligations of the issuer, which provide for a possible cash payment either: (i) at maturity based upon the price performance of an affiliate’s equity security (a “Price-Based CVR”); or (ii) within a specified time period, upon the occurrence of a specified event or events related to the business of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer (an “Event-Based CVR”).

At maturity, the holder of a Price-Based CVR is entitled to a cash payment if the average market price of the related equity security is less than a pre-set target price. The target price is typically established at the time the Price-Based CVR is issued. Conversely, should the average market price of the related equity security equal or exceed the target price, the Price-Based CVR would expire worthless.

Within a specified time period, the holder of an Event-Based CVR is entitled to a cash payment upon occurrence of an event or events related to the business of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer specified at the time the Event-Based CVR is issued. Conversely, should the specified event or events not occur within the specified time period, the Event-Based CVR would expire worthless.

(a) Initial Listing Requirements

(1) The Company must have assets in excess of $100 million.

(2) The Company must satisfy Nasdaq Rule 5315(f)(3)(A) or have at least $200,000,000 in global market capitalization.

(3) The Company must satisfy the Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares requirement of Nasdaq Rule 5315(f)(2)(A) and (B) requiring (i) a Market Value of at least $110 million; or (ii) a Market Value of at least $100 million, if the Company has stockholders' equity of at least $110 million.

(4) The issuer of the CVR must not be considered non-compliant with the listing standards of the national securities exchange where either the equity security to whose price performance a Price-Based CVR, or in an Event-Based CVR, where the primary equity security is linked or the issuer’s common stock is listed.

(5) The CVR issue must have:

(A) a minimum of 400 holders;

(B) a minimum of 1 million CVRs outstanding;

(C) a minimum of $4 million market value;

(D) a minimum life of one year; and

(E) a minimum $4.00 bid price.

(b) Disclosure Requirements

The issuer of an Event-Based CVR will be required to make public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of Rule 5250(b) and IM-5250-1: (i) upon the occurrence of any event that must occur as a condition to the issuer’s obligation to make a cash payment with respect to the CVR (or if such an event is deemed to have occurred pursuant to the terms of the documents governing the CVR); or (ii) at any such time as it becomes clear that a condition to the cash payment with respect to the CVR has not been met as required by the documents governing the terms of the CVR.

(c) Circular

Prior to listing a CVR, the Exchange will distribute an information circular to its members in substantially the following form:

The following Contingent Voting Rights of COMPANY NAME have been approved for listing and will commence trading at a date to be announced.

NUMBER ISSUED Contingent Value Rights expiring DATE unless extended as more fully explained in the joint proxy/prospectus.

The Contingent Value Rights will trade with the ticker symbol XXXX.

Since the Contingent Value Rights have certain unique characteristics, investors should be afforded an explanation of such special characteristics and risks attendant to trading thereof, including the possibility that the maturity date may be extended and that the CVR’s may possibly expire without value (consult the joint proxy/prospectus for full details). The Exchange suggests that transactions in CVR’s be recommended only to investors whose accounts have been approved for options trading. If a customer has not been approved for options trading, or does not wish to open an options account, the firm should ascertain that CVR’s are suitable for the customer.

Before a member, member organization, or employee of such member organization undertakes to recommend a transaction in the Contingent Value Rights, such member or member organization should make a determination that such Contingent Value Rights are suitable for such customer and the person making the recommendation should have a reasonable basis for believing, at the time of making the recommendation, that the customer has such knowledge and experience in financial matters that he may reasonably be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks and special characteristics of recommended transaction and is financially able to bear the risks of the recommended transaction.

(d) Continued Listing Requirements

(1) At least 100,000 Publicly Held Shares;

(2) At least 100 Holders;

(3) Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $1 million;

(4) Either the equity security to whose price performance a Price-Based CVR is linked or the issuer’s common stock must remain listed; and

(5) The Exchange will delist an Event-Based CVR once the occurrence of the specified event or events related to the business of the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer has occurred or once it goes beyond the time that the specified event or events should have occurred.
