NEW YORK - May 10, 2019 - The Long-Term Stock Exchange has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to operate a U.S. national securities exchange.

The approval makes the exchange one of a handful of U.S. exchanges qualified to conduct listings and authorizes the company to operate a fully automated electronic platform for the buying and selling of shares.

"We welcome the approval, which advances our vision of a new way of being public for a generation of companies that aspire to build their businesses and generate value for decades to come," said Zoran Perkov, the exchange's chief executive.

The exchange anticipates being ready to accept listings and start trading later this year after completing administrative and technical steps.
