Summary

Honeywell International Inc. (HON) has announced its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock and several series of senior notes from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and transfer them to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq). This move is expected to be effective around May 10-11, 2021, with trading commencing on Nasdaq on or about May 11, 2021. The company's stock and notes will retain their current trading symbols. This strategic relocation to Nasdaq is anticipated to provide potential benefits for Honeywell, although the specific reasons or expected advantages are not detailed in this particular filing.
