Recent press releases and 8-K filings for NDAQ.
- SVF Vaccines’s portfolio company Novakand Pharma will acquire all SVF shares via issuance of new shares valued at SEK 55 million, subject to extraordinary general meeting approval, Nasdaq listing continuation and regulatory approval.
- Post-transaction, SVF shareholders will own 66.7% and Novakand shareholders 33.3% of the combined entity, which is targeted to list on Nasdaq First North in Q1 2026.
- The merged company will focus on SVF’s vaccine therapies, retain Novakand’s fractalkine program, and expects sufficient working capital for 12 months plus a planned SEK 30 million capital raise for a Phase 1 study.
- Nasdaq proposed a “Fast Entry” rule to speed inclusion of newly listed large-cap companies into the Nasdaq-100, allowing eligible firms to join after 15 trading days with at least five trading days’ notice and waiving seasoning and some liquidity tests.
- Eligibility is based on a company’s market-capitalization ranking (roughly the top 40 of current constituents), with fast entrants temporarily expanding the index until the next annual reconstitution.
- The proposal includes technical tweaks to market-cap calculations, low-float weighting, and quarterly maintenance to enhance replicability for passive managers.
- Advisers for high-profile IPO candidates, including SpaceX (last valued at $800 billion) and AI startups like Anthropic, have engaged index providers about earlier entry, underscoring industry pressure for real-time market alignment.
- If approved, the changes could take effect after the March quarterly rebalance, prompting quicker rebalancing by index-tracking funds such as Invesco’s QQQ.

- With over $100 million invested in technology and operations, Bond targets a $438 billion global private security market as demand for proactive safety accelerates.
