  • Statement On The Commission’s Order Approving Proposed Rule Changes, As Modified By Amendments No. 1, To Adopt Listing Rules Related To Board Diversity Submitted By The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Aug. 6, 2021

    Date 06/08/2021

    I write in opposition to the approval of the Board Diversity Proposal (“Board Diversity Proposal” or “Proposal”) submitted for approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“the Exchange”). The Proposal attempts to expand opportunity, a goal I share, but it does so in a way that improperly leverages authority that Congress has entrusted to it under the Exchange Act. Because the Exchange cannot show that its Proposal is consistent with the Exchange Act, and because the Proposal is in fact outside the scope of the Act and contrary to fundamental Constitutional principles, I cannot support its approval.

    Nasdaq today released a statement following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of the company’s board diversity disclosure listing rule:

    “We are pleased that the SEC has approved Nasdaq’s proposal to enhance board diversity disclosures and encourage the creation of more diverse boards through a market-led solution. We look forward to working with our companies to implement this new listing rule and set a new standard for corporate governance.”

  • Statement On Nasdaq’s Diversity Proposals – A Positive First Step For Investors, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Aug. 6, 2021

    Date 06/08/2021

    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.
