Moves have continued. There were 71 in mid-October. Now, the number stands at 80. As always, a copy of our spreadsheet is available here. As usual, I’ve had Claude generate infographics to help visualize the movement. The full list is after the jump below.

Nevada Takes Lead In Companies

Nevada recently displaced Texas as the leading destination, drawing 30 companies to Texas’s 28. Delaware’s count also grew by one as I found a de-SPAC that I hadn’t previously tracked.

Movement Over Time

Movement this year has not been limited to proxy season. It’s hard to know how much more we’ll see in November, but we’ve got two in the first week.

Rough Equity Value

Texas continues to lead on overall rough market capitalization. This particular chart uses a log scale, so the gap looks smaller than it really is.

Migration Patterns

Both Delaware and Texas draw from a fairly wide range of states. Nevada has some other jurisdictions in the mix, but has primarily drawn from Delaware.

Headquarters

Texas continues to do very well with companies headquartered there.

Approval Methods

Nevada has largely picked up moves approved by written consent, while Texas and Delaware moves more often go to a shareholder vote.

Company Size and Vote Patterns

This chart is new. Larger, more widely held companies have faced more opposition. Smaller firms have largely not had trouble. But many of the smallest moves were also to Delaware.

Delaware’s Ledger

If you’re tracking Delaware specifically, exits largely go to Nevada or Texas, but Delaware remains a preferred destination for international moves.

As always, special thanks to Boyd Law students Hunter Hawkins, Enya Dinca, and Rocco Marino for their help maintaining and updating the spreadsheet.
