Follow-up of Market Restructuring
The transitional measures that have been applied to companies that have not met the continued listing criteria since the market restructuring in April 2022 will expire.
The regular continued listing criteria will be applied from record dates of decisions on the continued listing criteria that fall on or after March 1, 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the“record date”).
Expiration of Transitional Measures
Transitional measures regarding continued listing criteria will expire in March 2025.
In April 2022, when TSE restructured the market, some of the continued listing criteria were made stricter than those of the previous market.
Therefore, for companies listed before the market restructuring, relaxed criteria have been applied as a transitional measure.
From the record dates falling on or after March 1, 2025, the regular continued listing criteria will be applied.
If a company fails to meet the continued listing criteria, it will enter an improvement period of one year in principle (six months for trading volume criteria), and if it fails to meet with the criteria within the improvement period, it will be assigned to Securities Under Supervision or Securities to be Delisted (six months in principle), then be delisted.
Please note that after delisting, it will no longer be possible to trade stocks on the TSE market.
Schedule for each fiscal year (for continued listing criteria regarding number of shareholders, tradable shares, and market capitalization)
- With regard to the continued listing criteria regarding trading value applicable to Prime Market companies, the regular continued listing criteria will be applied from the assessment at the end of December 2025, regardless of the fiscal year end.
However, as of March 31, 2023, if a company has disclosed a plan to meet the continued listing criteria (“Conformance Plan”) with an end date that goes beyond the first record date that falls on or after March 1, 2026, the company’s securities shall be designated as Securities Under Supervision after the end of the improvement period and said designation shall continue until the company is confirmed to meet or not meet the criteria at the end of its plan.
For the companies disclosing the Conformance Plan with an end date that goes beyond the first record date that falls on or after March 1, 2026, are marked with an asterisk (*) on the “List of Issues in an Improvement Period” and “List of Issues Subject to Transitional Measures”.
