The move exempts companies from meeting minimum share price and public float requirements to stay listed on the exchange. Float refers to the number of outstanding shares available for trading by the public. The Nasdaq does not release the number of companies that face delisting, he said. A company's shares must trade above a minimum price, usually $1, to stay listed on the Nasdaq. The minimum value of a public float of a company's shares varies. < AT&T may merge with BellSouth NEW YORK - Long-distance giant AT&T Corp. is talking to BellSouth Corp. about a possible merger, a move that could reunite it with one of the Baby Bells it was forced to spin off back in 1984, a source close to the negotiations said Thursday.
