  • A Current Guide to Direct Listings
    January 8, 2021 A CURRENT GUIDE TO DIRECT LISTINGS To Our Clients and Friends: Over the course of December 2019, Gibson Dunn published its “Current Guide to Direct Listings” and “An Interim Update on Direct Listing Rules” discussing, among other things, the direct listing as an evolving pathway to the public capital markets and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rejection of a proposal by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to permit a privately held company to conduct a direct listing in connection with a primary offering, respectively. The NYSE continued to revise its proposal in consultation with the SEC and, on August 26, 2020, the SEC approved an amendment to the NYSE’s proposal that will permit primary offerings in connection with direct listings. The August 26 order, which would have become effective 30 days after being published in the Federal Register, was stayed by the SEC on September 1, 2020 in response to a notice from the Council of Institutional Investors (CII) that it intended to file a petition for the SEC to review the SEC’s approval. On December 22, 2020, the SEC issued its final approval of the NYSE’s proposed rules. Consequently, Gibson Dunn has updated and republished its Current Guide to Direct Listings to reflect today’s landscape, including an overview of certain issues to monitor as direct listing practice evolves included as Appendix I hereto. Direct Listings: An evolving pathway to the public capital markets. Direct listings have increasingly been gaining attention as a means for a private company to go public.
