NYSE Texas proposes rule to grant complimentary services to eligible issuers
All issuers listed on NYSE Texas, and dual-listed companies meeting a 160-million-share threshold, could receive $50,000 of free services pending Commission approval after publication on Sept. 1, 2026.
On August 13, 2026, NYSE Texas, Inc. filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission, identified as Release No. 34-106204; File No. SR-NYSETEX-2026-30. The notice, dated August 27, 2026, was published in the Federal Register (Vol. 91, No. 168, pages 56247-56249; FR Doc No. 2026-17801) on September 1, 2026.
The Exchange seeks to adopt a new Rule 24 under Article 22 of its Rule Book. The rule would make certain complimentary products and services available to all issuers listed on NYSE Texas, and a specific "Eligibility Dual Listing" package to issuers that (i) are dual-listed on another national securities exchange and (ii) have 160 million or more total shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The package, valued at approximately $50,000, includes use of the Dallas headquarters for investor meetings and a marketing activation to publicize the dual listing. Participation is optional; issuers may decline any or all services without affecting their listing status.
NYSE Texas asserts the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its related objectives, and it does not impose an undue burden on competition because all similarly situated issuers receive comparable complimentary treatment. The Exchange reported that no written comments were solicited or received regarding the proposal.
The Commission has 45 days from the date of publication to approve or disapprove the rule change, with the possibility of extending the comment period to up to 90 days if deemed appropriate. During that window, interested parties may submit written data, views, and arguments through the Commission's internet comment form.
