Definitions

In plain terms

It ends that venue relationship but does not by itself prove that the security, issuer, or shareholder value became zero.

Technical

A delisting record requires security and listing identity, venue, reason, notice, filing, effective and last-trade dates, successor status, and evidence for any terminal proceeds.

Scope

Delisting, deregistration, bankruptcy, liquidation, and zero recovery are distinct events.

Examples

  • A governed calculation records delisting with its exact basis, effective time, source, and units.

Common misconceptions

  • Delisting does not have one universal treatment without the applicable methodology, event terms, and data context.
