Delisting Code is a 3-digit integer code. It either (1) indicates that a security is still trading or (2) provides a specific reason for delisting. All coded delistings are categorized by the first digit of the delisting code.
| Primary First Digit of Code | Category |
|---|
| 1 | still trading or halted but not yet delisted |
| 2 |
mergers |

| 5 | delisted by NYSE, Amex, NASDAQ, or Arca |

The second and third digits of the delisting codes provide further detail of delisting events. Additional delisting codes, specific to various delisting categories, have been created to indicate when an issue is closed to further research, or if the issue is pending further research. for details of delisting coding schemes.
