B - Class B
C - Issuer qualifications exceptions*
D - New
E - Delinquent in required filings with the SEC
F - Foreign
G - First convertible bond
H - Second convertible bond, same company
I - Third convertible bond, same company
J - Voting
K - Nonvoting
L - Miscellaneous situations, such as depositary receipts, stubs, additional warrants, and units
M - Fourth preferred, same company
N - Third preferred, same company
O - Second preferred, same company
P - First preferred, same company
Q - Bankruptcy Proceedings
R - Rights
S - Shares of beneficial interest
T - With warrants or with rights
U - Units
V - When-issued and when distributed
W - Warrants
Y- ADR (American Depositary Receipt)
Z - Miscellaneous situations such as depositary receipts, stubs, additional warrants, and units.
* The letter "C" as a fifth character in a security symbol, indicates that the issuer has been granted a continuance in NASDAQ under an exception to the qualification standards for a limited period.
