This section sets forth the required fees for Companies both seeking listing and currently listed on Nasdaq. Rule 5930 describes fees for SEEDS and Other Securities qualified for listing under Rule 5715 or 5730. Rule 5940 describes fees for other Exchange Traded Products. The fees for all other Companies are described in Rule 5910 (for the Global and Global Select Markets) and Rule 5920 (for the Capital Market). With certain exceptions, a Company that submits an application to list any class of its securities must pay a non-refundable application fee, and an entry fee as described in Rule 5910(a), which is based on the number of shares being listed. Listed Companies must also pay an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee.

Adopted Mar. 12, 2009 (SR-NASDAQ-2009-018); amended Apr. 27, 2009 (SR-NASDAQ-2009-040); amended June 16, 2009 (SR-NASDAQ-2009-052); amended Nov. 7, 2014 (SR-NASDAQ-2014-087), operative Jan. 1, 2015; amended Nov. 13, 2018 (SR-NASDAQ-2018-092); amended December 30, 2021 (SR-NASDAQ-2021-107), operative January 1, 2022.

(a) Entry Fee

(1)

(A)(i) A Company shall pay to Nasdaq a $295,000 fee the first time the Company lists a class of its securities (not otherwise identified in this Rule 5900 Series). This fee will be assessed on the date of listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. However, if the Company submits an application prior to January 1, 2024, and lists on the Nasdaq Global Market prior to February 15, 2024, the applicable fee will be $270,000. Assessment of the application fees is described in paragraph (a)(11), below.

(ii) A Company that lists an additional class of equity securities (not otherwise identified in this Rule 5900 Series) is not subject to entry fees under this rule but is charged a non-refundable $25,000 initial application fee as described in paragraph (a)(11), below.

(B) A Company that submits an application to first list under IM-5101-2 (Listing of Companies Whose Business Plan is to Complete One or More Acquisitions) is subject to a flat Entry Fee of $80,000, which covers both the primary equity securities and also warrants and rights, if any. The Entry Fee for a Company first listed under IM-5101-2 is based on the fee schedule in effect on the date of listing but is initially deferred and will be assessed on the first anniversary of the date of listing. Assessment of the application fees is described in paragraph (a)(11), below. A Company listed under IM-5101-2 (until the Company has satisfied the condition in Rule IM-5101-2(b)) that lists an additional class of equity securities (not otherwise identified in this Rule 5900 Series) is not subject to entry fees under this rule but is charged a non-refundable $5,000 initial application fee as described in paragraph (a)(11), below.

(2) Total shares outstanding means the aggregate of all classes of equity securities to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market as shown in the Company's most recent periodic report or in more recent information held by Nasdaq or, in the case of new issues, as shown in the offering circular, required to be filed with the Company's appropriate regulatory authority. In the case of foreign companies, total shares outstanding shall include only those shares issued and outstanding in the United States.

(3) A closed-end management investment company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "Closed-End Fund"), that submits an application for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market shall pay to Nasdaq an entry fee of $5,000 (of which $1,000 represents a non-refundable application fee).

(4) A Company that submits an application to list any class of rights on the Nasdaq Global Market, shall pay, at the time of its application, a non-refundable application fee of $1,000 to Nasdaq.

(5) The Nasdaq Board of Directors or its designee may, in its discretion, defer or waive all or any part of the entry fee prescribed herein.

(6) If the application is withdrawn or is not approved, the entry fee (less the non-refundable application fee) shall be refunded.

(7) The fees described in this Rule 5910(a) shall not be applicable with respect to any securities that:

(i) are listed on another national securities exchange but not listed on Nasdaq, if the issuer of such securities transfers their listing exclusively to the Nasdaq Global Market;

(ii) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, if the issuer of such securities ceases to maintain their listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the securities instead are designated as national market securities under Rule 5220;

(iii) are listed on another national securities exchange but not listed on Nasdaq, if the issuer of such securities is acquired by an unlisted company and, in connection with the acquisition, the unlisted company lists exclusively on the Nasdaq Global Market;

(iv) are listed on Nasdaq by a newly formed Company resulting from a transaction between two or more Nasdaq-listed Companies (or involving assets from such Companies), where at least one of the Nasdaq-listed Companies ceases to be separately listed; or

(v) are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market by a previously unlisted Company in connection with its acquisition of a Company listed under IM-5101-2 (an acquisition company whose business plan is to complete one or more acquisitions).

(8) The fees described in this Rule 5910(a) shall not be applicable to a Company

(i) whose securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and designated as national market securities pursuant to the plan governing New York Stock Exchange securities at the time such securities are approved for listing on Nasdaq; and

(ii) that maintains such listing and designation after it lists such securities on Nasdaq.

(9) A Company that transfers its listing from the Nasdaq Capital Market to the Nasdaq Global Market shall not be required to pay the entry fee described in this Rule 5910(a), provided that:

(i) the Company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market prior to January 1, 2007; or

(ii) the Company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or after January 1, 2007 and did not qualify for the Nasdaq Global Market at the time of its initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any other Company that transfers its listing from the Nasdaq Capital Market to the Nasdaq Global Market shall not be required to pay the application fee, but shall pay the entry fee described in this Rule 5910(a) less the entry fee that was previously paid by the Company to Nasdaq in connection with listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

(10) A Company that submits an application for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, but prior to listing revises its application to seek listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, is not required to pay the application fee described in this Rule 5910(a) in connection with the revised application.

(11) A Company (except for a company listing under IM-5101-2) subject to the Entry Fee described in paragraph (a)(1) of this Rule must submit a non-refundable $25,000 initial application fee with its application. A Company listing under IM-5101-2 must submit a non-refundable $5,000 initial application fee with its application.  If the Company does not list within 12 months of submitting its application, it will be assessed an additional non-refundable $5,000 application fee each 12 months thereafter to keep its application open. If a Company does not timely pay such additional application fee, its application will be closed and it will be required to submit a new application and initial application fee if it subsequently reapplies. Nasdaq will credit all application fees paid by the Company in connection with an application that has not been closed towards the Entry Fee payable upon listing.

(b) All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee

(1) A Company shall pay an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee. The All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee eliminates standard annual fees, additional shares fees, record-keeping fees, substitution listing event fees, request for written interpretation fees and compliance plan review fees. Companies must still pay the fees described in Rules 5815(a)(3) and 5820(a) (for review by a Hearings Panel or the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, respectively, of a Staff Delisting Determination or Public Reprimand Letter). Companies must also pay fees described in Rule 5910(a) relating to the listing of an additional class of securities of the Company.

(2) The All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be calculated on total shares outstanding according to the following schedules:

(A) All domestic and foreign Companies listing equity securities, except as described below:

Up to 10 million shares $56,000 ($52,500 until December 31, 2024) 

10+ to 50 million shares $70,000 ($65,500 until December 31, 2024) 

50+ to 75 million shares $86,000 ($85,000 until December 31, 2024) 

75+ to 100 million shares $115,000 ($113,500 until December 31, 2024) 

100+ to 125 million shares $143,000 ($141,500 until December 31, 2024) 

125+ to 150 million shares $164,000 ($157,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 150 million shares $193,000 ($182,500 until December 31, 2024)

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to the same fee schedule as other equity securities. For the purpose of determining the total shares outstanding, shares outstanding of all members in a REIT Family listed on the Nasdaq Global Market may be aggregated. The maximum annual fee applicable to such a REIT Family shall not exceed $193,000 ($182,500 until December 31, 2024). For purposes of this rule, a "REIT Family" means three or more REITs that are provided management services by the same entity or by entities under common control.

(B) Companies listing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs):

Up to 10 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $56,000 ($52,500 until December 31, 2024)

10+ to 50 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $63,500 ($59,500 until December 31, 2024)

50+ to 75 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $75,500 ($70,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 75 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $100,500 ($94,000 until December 31, 2024)

(C) Closed-end Funds:

Up to 50 million shares $36,500 ($34,500 until December 31, 2024)

50+ to 100 million shares $59,500 ($56,500 until December 31, 2024)

100+ to 250 million shares $88,500 ($84,000 until December 31, 2024)

Over 250 million shares $118,000 ($112,000 until December 31, 2024)

For the purpose of determining the total shares outstanding, fund sponsors may aggregate shares outstanding of all Closed-End Funds in the same fund family listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, as shown in the Company's most recent periodic reports required to be filed with the appropriate regulatory authority or in more recent information held by Nasdaq. A fund family is subject to the same fee schedule as a single Closed-End Fund and the maximum All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee applicable to a fund family shall not exceed $118,000 ($112,000 until December 31, 2024). For purposes of this rule, a "fund family" is defined as two or more Closed-End Funds that have a common investment adviser or have investment advisers who are "affiliated persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(D) Limited Partnerships:

Up to 75 million shares $44,500 ($42,000 until December 31, 2024)

75+ to 100 million shares $59,500 ($56,500 until December 31, 2024)

100+ to 125 million shares $73,000 ($69,500 until December 31, 2024)

125+ to 150 million shares $79,500 ($75,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 150 million shares $91,500 ($87,000 until December 31, 2024)

(E) Investment Management Entities and Eligible Portfolio Companies:

Nasdaq will apply a 50% fee discount to the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee otherwise owed under paragraph (b)(2)(A) of this rule for Eligible Portfolio Companies and Investment Management Entities that have one or more Eligible Portfolio Companies. For purposes of this rule, an "Investment Management Entity" is a company listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange that manages private investment vehicles not registered under the Investment Company Act. An "Eligible Portfolio Company" of an Investment Management Entity is a Nasdaq-listed Company in which an Investment Management Entity has owned at least 20% of the common stock on a continuous basis since prior to that company's initial listing.

In order to qualify for this discount in any calendar year, a Company, other than a new listing, must submit satisfactory proof to Nasdaq no later than December 31st of the prior year that it satisfies the requirements specified above. A new listing that satisfies these requirements is eligible for the discount upon listing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Investment Management Entity or Eligible Portfolio Company would otherwise be subject to an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee that is lower than the fee provided for in this paragraph (E), then the alternative fee schedule shall apply.

(F)Companies listing under IM-5101-2 (Listing of Companies Whose Business Plan is to Complete One or More Acquisitions):

A company listed under IM-5101-2 (Listing of Companies Whose Business Plan is to Complete One or More Acquisitions) is subject to an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee of $85,000 ($81,000 until December 31, 2024).

(G) Dually-Listed Companies, whose securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and designated as national market securities pursuant to the plan governing New York Stock Exchange securities at the time such securities are approved for listing on Nasdaq: $15,000.  Such fee shall be assessed on the first anniversary of the Company's listing on Nasdaq, and annually thereafter on the anniversary of the Company’s listing.  If an issuer of such securities ceases to maintain its listing on the New York Stock Exchange that portion of the fee described in this section attributable to the months following the date of removal shall not be refunded, except if the securities remain listed on the Nasdaq Global or Global Select Markets and are designated as national market securities pursuant to the plan governing Nasdaq securities such fee shall be applied to The Nasdaq Global Market All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee due for that calendar year.  

(3) Assessment of All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee

(A) In the first calendar year of listing, a Company's All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be based on the total shares outstanding as of the date of listing and will be prorated based on the month of listing. For example, a Company that lists on any day in March will owe 10/12 of the applicable annual fee; if it lists on any day in April, it will owe 9/12 of the applicable annual fee.

(B) After the first calendar year of listing, a Company's All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be assessed on January 1st for the upcoming calendar year based on the total shares outstanding as of December 31st of the prior year. If a Company is listed on January 1st, the Company will owe the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the entire year, even if the Company delists or is removed before the Company is billed or pays the fee for that year.

(C) For a Company with any equity securities listed on the Nasdaq Global or Global Select Markets, total shares outstanding shall mean, and the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the year shall be based on, the aggregate number of all securities outstanding for each class of equity securities (not otherwise identified in this Rule 5900 Series) listed on the Nasdaq Global Select, Global and Capital Markets as of January 1 of that year, as shown in the Company's periodic reports required to be filed with the Company's appropriate regulatory authority or in more recent information held by Nasdaq. In the case of a foreign private issuer, the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be based on only those equity securities issued and outstanding in the United States, provided the Company notifies Nasdaq of that number by completing the appropriate form in the Nasdaq Listing Center.

(D) Transfers from Capital Market. If a Company transfers its listing from the Capital Market to the Global or Global Select Market, its All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be prorated based on the month of the transfer. Such a Company will owe the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the new market tier starting in the month of transfer and the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the Capital Market for all earlier months in the calendar year.

For example, a Company with 80 million total shares outstanding is listed on the Capital Market and transfers to the Global Market on October 21, 2025. Its new All- Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the Global Market is $115,000, which is prorated from October to December, resulting in an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee due of $28,750 for its first calendar year of listing on the Global Market. Since this Company already paid an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee of $86,000 on the Capital Market, it will be credited $21,500, which represents the portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee already paid for listing on the Capital Market for the remainder of the year. The Company, therefore, has a balance due to Nasdaq of $7,250.

(E) No portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee paid is refundable if a class of securities is delisted or otherwise removed from The Nasdaq Stock Market. No portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee that is due and payable when a class of securities is delisted or otherwise removed from The Nasdaq Stock Market will be waived upon delisting or removal.

(F) Relisting. A Company that was suspended, delisted, or removed from Nasdaq for any reason, whether regulatory or voluntary, is not required to pay a second All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee if it relists in the same calendar year.

(G) The Nasdaq Board of Directors or its designee may, in its discretion, defer or waive all or any part of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee prescribed herein.

(3) A closed-end management investment company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "Closed-End Fund"), that submits an application for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market shall pay to Nasdaq an entry fee of $5,000 (of which $1,000 represents a non-refundable application fee).

(4) The Nasdaq Board of Directors or its designee may, in its discretion, defer or waive all or any part of the entry fee prescribed herein.

(5) Total shares outstanding means the aggregate of all classes of equity securities to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as shown in the Company's most recent periodic report or in more recent information held by Nasdaq or, in the case of new issues, as shown in the offering circular, required to be filed with the Company's appropriate regulatory authority.

(1) A Company shall pay an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee. The All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee eliminates standard annual fees, additional shares fees, record-keeping fees, substitution listing event fees, request for written interpretation fees and compliance plan review fees. Companies must still pay the fees described in Rules 5815(a)(3) and 5820(a) (for review by a Hearings Panel or the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, respectively, of a Staff Delisting Determination or Public Reprimand Letter). Companies must also pay fees described in Rule 5920(a) relating to the listing of an additional class of securities of the Company.

(2) The All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be calculated on total shares outstanding according to the following schedules:

(A) All domestic and foreign Companies listing equity securities, except as described below:

Up to 10 million shares $53,000 ($49,500 until December 31, 2024)

10+ to 50 million shares $70,000 ($65,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 50 million shares $86,000 ($85,000 until December 31, 2024)

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to the same fee schedule as other equity securities. For the purpose of determining the total shares outstanding, shares outstanding of all members in a REIT Family listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market may be aggregated. The maximum annual fee applicable to such a REIT Family shall not exceed $86,000 ($85,000 until December 31, 2024). For purposes of this rule, a "REIT Family" means three or more REITs that are provided management services by the same entity or by entities under common control.

(B) Companies listing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs):

Up to 10 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $53,000 ($49,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 10 million ADRs and other listed equity securities $63,500 ($59,500 until December 31, 2024)

(C) Closed-end Funds:

Up to 50 million shares $36,500 ($34,500 until December 31, 2024)

50+ to 100 million shares $59,500 ($56,500 until December 31, 2024)

100+ to 250 million shares $88,500 ($84,000 until December 31, 2024)

Over 250 million shares $118,000 ($112,000 until December 31, 2024)

For the purpose of determining the total shares outstanding, fund sponsors may aggregate shares outstanding of all Closed-End Funds in the same fund family listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, as shown in the Company's most recent periodic reports required to be filed with the appropriate regulatory authority or in more recent information held by Nasdaq. A fund family is subject to the same fee schedule as a single Closed-End Fund and the maximum All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee applicable to a fund family shall not exceed $118,000 ($112,000 until December 31, 2024). For purposes of this rule, a "fund family" is defined as two or more Closed-End Funds that have a common investment adviser or have investment advisers who are "affiliated persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(D) Limited Partnerships:

Up to 75 million shares $36,500 ($34,500 until December 31, 2024)

Over 75 million shares $44,500 ($42,000 until December 31, 2024)

(E) Investment Management Entities and Eligible Portfolio Companies:

Nasdaq will apply a 50% fee discount to the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee otherwise owed under paragraph (b)(2)(A) of this rule for Eligible Portfolio Companies and Investment Management Entities that have one or more Eligible Portfolio Companies. For purposes of this rule, an "Investment Management Entity" is a company listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange that manages private investment vehicles not registered under the Investment Company Act. An "Eligible Portfolio Company" of an Investment Management Entity is a Nasdaq-listed Company in which an Investment Management Entity has owned at least 20% of the common stock on a continuous basis since prior to that company's initial listing.

In order to qualify for this discount in any calendar year, a Company, other than a new listing, must submit satisfactory proof to Nasdaq no later than December 31st of the prior year that it satisfies the requirements specified above. A new listing that satisfies these requirements is eligible for the discount upon listing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Investment Management Entity or Eligible Portfolio Company would otherwise be subject to an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee that is lower than the fee provided for in this paragraph (E), then the alternative fee schedule shall apply.

(F) Convertible Debentures:

Notwithstanding paragraph (A), the issuer of each class of convertible debentures listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market shall pay to Nasdaq an annual fee of $500 or $25 per million dollars face amount of debentures outstanding, whichever is higher.

(G) Companies listing under IM-5101-2 (Listing of Companies Whose Business Plan is to Complete One or More Acquisitions):

A company listed under IM-5101-2 (Listing of Companies Whose Business Plan is to Complete One or More Acquisitions) is subject to an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee of $85,000 ($81,000 until December 31, 2024).

(3) Assessment of All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee

(A) In the first calendar year of listing, a Company's All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be based on the total shares outstanding as of the date of listing and will be prorated based on the month of listing. For example, a Company that lists on any day in March will owe 10/12 of the applicable annual fee; if it lists on any day in April, it will owe 9/12 of the applicable annual fee.

(B) After the first calendar year of listing, a Company's All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be assessed on January 1st for the upcoming calendar year based on the total shares outstanding as of December 31st of the prior year. If a Company is listed on January 1st, the Company will owe the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the entire year, even if the Company delists or is removed before the Company is billed or pays the fee for that year.

(C) For a Company with equity securities listed only on the Nasdaq Capital Market, total shares outstanding shall mean, and the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the year shall be based on, the aggregate number of all securities outstanding for each class of equity securities (not otherwise identified in this Rule 5900 Series) listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of January 1 of that year, as shown in the Company's periodic reports required to be filed with the Company's appropriate regulatory authority or in more recent information held by Nasdaq. If a Company has any equity securities listed on the Nasdaq Global or Global Select Markets, the securities listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be aggregated with those on the Global and Global Select Market, and the Company shall not be subject to the fee described in this IM-5920-1, but instead shall be subject to the fee contained in IM-5910-1. In the case of a foreign private issuer, the All- Inclusive Annual Listing Fee will be based on only those equity securities issued and outstanding in the United States, provided the Company notifies Nasdaq of that number by completing the appropriate form in the Nasdaq Listing Center.

(D) Transfers from Global and Global Select Market. If a Company transfers its listing from the Global or Global Select Market to the Capital Market, it will not owe any additional All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the Capital Market, nor shall it receive any credit or offset of the portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee paid or assessed for the prior market.

For example, a Company with 110 million total shares outstanding is listed on the Global Market and transfers to the Capital Market on October 21, 2025. Its new All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for the Capital Market is $86,000. Since this Company already paid an All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee of $143,000 on the Global Market, it will not owe any additional All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee for that calendar year. However, the Company would not receive any further credit of the amount previously paid for listing on the Global Market and would owe the full $86,000 Capital Market All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee in the following year.

(E) No portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee paid is refundable if a class of securities is delisted or otherwise removed from The Nasdaq Stock Market. No portion of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee that is due and payable when a class of securities is delisted or otherwise removed from The Nasdaq Stock Market will be waived upon delisting or removal.

(F) Relisting. A Company that was suspended, delisted, or removed from Nasdaq for any reason, whether regulatory or voluntary, is not required to pay a second All-Inclusive Annual Fee if it relists in the same calendar year.

(G) The Nasdaq Board of Directors or its designee may, in its discretion, defer or waive all or any part of the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee prescribed herein.

(c) Similarly, any issuer that is not listed on a national securities exchange immediately prior to its initial listing on the Exchange but is listing its Primary Equity Securities upon closing of its acquisition of a company listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange pursuant to special rules for acquisition companies whose business plan is to complete one or more acquisitions is not required to pay the All-Inclusive Annual Listing Fee with respect to its Primary Equity Securities or any other class of securities listed at the same time for the remainder of the calendar year in which such listing occurs.
