Option How to List

The NYSE Amex Options has established the following guidelines to be considered in evaluating a security for options trading:
  • Public float of the underlying security: 7.0 million shares. The public float excludes shares held by officers, directors and controlling shareholders (those holding 10% or more of the shares).
  • Holders of the underlying security: 2,000.
  • Shares of the underlying security traded: 2.4 million shares traded in the twelve months preceding listing.
  • Either:
      i) Price of the underlying security has been at least $7.50 per share for the majority of business days during the three calendar months preceding the date of selection. or
      ii)
      1. Underlying security meets guidelines for continued listings;
      2. Options on the underlying security are traded on at least one other registered national securities exchange; and
      3. The average daily volume for the option over the last three calendar months preceeding the date of selection has been at least 5000 contracts.
  • Issuer of underlying security is in compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The fact that a security meets the guidelines does not necessarily mean that it will be approved as an underlying security. Further, in exceptional circumstances, the Exchange may approve a security as an underlying security even though it does not meet all of the guidelines.


* This page may contain issues that are not currently in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE Amex, which can be viewed in the NYSE Amex Company Guide. A complete list of all non-compliant issues is also available.
