There are three distinct markets within Nasdaq: the Nasdaq Global Market (NGM), the newly created Nasdaq Global Select Market (NGSM)[999] and the Nasdaq Capital Market (NCM). The NGSM mandates the highest initial listing requirements of any market in the world, while its maintenance requirements are identical to those of the NGM. The NGM, in turn, has more stringent quantitative listing and maintenance requirements than the NCM. Except as noted below, the quantitative listing and maintenance criteria applicable to non-Canadian foreign private issuers for the NGM, NGSM and NCM are identical to those of US domestic and Canadian issuers. Foreign private issuers (including Canadian issuers) may, however, elect to follow home country practice in lieu of compliance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements (other than as described below).
