    Today, the Commission approved Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s proposed rule changes related to board diversity and disclosure. The new listing standards will require each Nasdaq-listed company, subject to certain exceptions, to have at least two diverse board members or explain why it does not. The new listing standards also will require disclosure, in an aggregated form, of information on the voluntary self-identified gender, racial characteristics, and LGBTQ+ status of the company’s board. We support the proposal because it represents a step forward for investors on board diversity.

    A Goal for All

    Today, the Commission approved rule changes proposed by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”) relating to board diversity. One will offer certain listed companies free access, for a limited time, to a board recruitment service with access “to a network of board-ready diverse candidates.” The other will “require each Nasdaq-listed company, subject to certain exceptions, to publicly disclose in an aggregated form, to the extent permitted by applicable law, information on the voluntary self-identified gender and racial characteristics and LGBTQ+ status (all terms defined [in the Approval Order]) of the company’s board of directors.” It will also “require each Nasdaq-listed company, subject to certain exceptions, to have, or explain why it does not have, at least two members of its board of directors who are Diverse, including at least one director who self-identifies as female and at least one director who self-identifies as an Underrepresented Minority or LGBTQ+ [all terms are defined in the Approval Order].” Failure to comply could eventually, after a specified period, subject companies to delisting.
