The information required by Item 5 with respect to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is set forth in Part III, Item 12 of this Form 10-K. Our common stock trades on The NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market under the symbol STLD.
As of February 21, 2023, we had 171,577,705 shares of common stock outstanding and held beneficially by approximately 23,700 stockholders based on our security position listing. Because many of the shares were held by depositories, brokers and other nominees, the number of registered holders (approximately 1,320) is not representative of the number of beneficial holders.
