A company seeking to list on the NYSE pays an application fee, an initial listing fee and annual fees. The NYSE's application fee is US$25,000, and the initial listing fee for common stock is a flat rate of US$325,000 and any additional class of common stock listed is a flat rate of US$5,000. Additional shares listed subsequently will require additional payments. The annual fee is a minimum of US$84,000 and increases depending on the number of shares listed. Subject to limited exceptions, the total fees that may be billed to an issuer in a calendar year are capped at US$500,000. Other fees are applicable to such corporate events as the listing of additional securities.
Additional costs include printing expenses and registration fees required by the SEC, as well as legal and accounting fees.
Effective 1 April 2025, a company that lists, or has listed, a primary class of equity securities on the NYSE on or after 1 April 2021 (other than as a result of a transfer from another national securities exchange) will only be charged (i) the initial listing fee for such class of securities, and (ii) the annual listing fee for such class of securities, calculated on an adjusted basis for any subsequent issuance or other corporate action, in each case for the first five years that the applicable class of securities is listed on the NYSE (Limited Fee Exemption Period).1
[1] The NYSE notes in its rules that for the avoidance of doubt, a company that lists a primary class of equity securities on the NYSE on or after 1 April 2025 will be entitled to a full five-year Limited Fee Exemption Period. Any company that listed a primary class of equity securities on the NYSE before 1 April 2025, but on or after 1 April 2021, will be entitled to the remaining balance of the five-year Limited Fee Exemption Period running from 1 April 2025 until the five-year anniversary of the date on which such company listed its primary class of equity securities on the NYSE.
