No. Under the All- Inclusive Annual Fee program, Nasdaq does not charge a fee for listing additional shares or submitting a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form.

Please note that all companies are still subject to entry and application fees if the company seeks to list a new class of securities.

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.
