Impose Related Requirements for

January 26, 2024. 

On July 12, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock 

Market LLC (‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

create a new, non-trading limited 

underwriter membership class and 

impose related requirements for 

principal underwriting activity in 

connection with a company applying for 

initial listing on the exchange with a 

transaction involving an underwriter. 

The proposed rule change was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on July 31, 2023.3

On September 12, 2023, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,4 the 

Commission designated a longer period 

within which to approve the proposed 

rule change, disapprove the proposed 

rule change, or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove the 

proposed rule change.5 On September 

29, 2023, the Commission instituted 

proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of 

Act 6 to determine whether to approve 

or disapprove the proposed rule 

change.7 On September 29, 2023, the 

Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the 

proposed rule change, which amended 

and replaced the proposed rule change 

in its entirety.8 On January 22, 2024, the 

Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the 

proposed rule change which amended 

and replaced the proposed rule change, 

as modified by Amendment No. 1, in its 

entirety.9 The Commission has received 

no comment letters on the proposed rule 

change. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 10 provides 

that, after initiating proceedings, the 

Commission shall issue an order 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

rule change not later than 180 days after 

the date of publication of notice of filing 

of the proposed rule change. The 

Commission may extend the period for 

issuing an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change, 

however, by not more than 60 days if 

the Commission determines that a 

longer period is appropriate and 

publishes the reasons for such 

determination. The proposed rule 

change was published for comment in 

the Federal Register on July 31, 2023.11

The 180th day after publication of the 

proposed rule change is January 27, 

2024. The Commission is extending the 

time period for approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change, 

as modified by Amendment No. 2, for 

an additional 60 days. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to issue an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change, 

as modified by Amendment No. 2, so 

that it has sufficient time to consider the 

proposed rule change, as modified by 

Amendment No. 2. Accordingly, the 

Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,12 designates March 

27, 2024, as the date by which the 

Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 2 (File No. 

SR–NASDAQ–2023–022).

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13
