NYSE American for Israel companies
NYSE American offers Israeli small-caps and clinical-stage companies an exchange listing with qualification standards keyed to income, market capitalisation, or assets and revenue. It can suit issuers not yet ready for Nasdaq's thresholds, reached by merging into an NYSE American shell while a story matures.
Structuring a reverse takeover from Israel
Cross-border structuring is unusually well-trodden for Israeli companies. Many operate through an Israeli parent that can itself be the US-quoted entity, while others use a Delaware or Cayman top company established for the listing — both patterns are routine, and Israeli and US counsel coordinate them regularly. Israel does not impose the outbound-investment or exchange-control frictions seen in some emerging markets, so moving to a US-quoted structure is generally about corporate, securities, and tax mechanics rather than regulator approvals. Key points to map early include Israeli tax on any share exchange or corporate migration, the treatment of employee option pools (a significant feature of Israeli tech compensation), and Israel Securities Authority (ISA) considerations if a TASE listing is contemplated. This is educational; specific structures should be set with counsel.
