Nasdaq requirements
The following are Nasdaq requirements in order to be listed:
Listing Requirements for All Companies
- Each company must have a minimum of 1,250,000 publicly traded shares upon listing, excluding those held by officers, directors or any beneficial owners of more than 10% of the company.
- Also, the regular bid price at the time of listing must be $4.00, and there must be at least three market makers for the stock.
- However, a company may qualify under a closing price alternative of $3.00 or $2.00 if the company meets varying requirements.
- Each listing firm is also required to follow NASDAQ corporate governance rules 4350, 4351 and 4360.
- Companies must also have at least 450 round lot (100 shares) shareholders, 2,200 total shareholders, or 550 total shareholders with 1.1 million average trading volume over the past 12 months.
It would appear that Engine meets all these requirements and it would not surprise me to see an announcement regarding the Nasdaq application very soon. (info taken from Investopedia). With the connections that board member Rogers and Ratner have, I would think this would be a recommended stock pick by several stock firms that appeal to millenial investors. Let's hope so !
