New York Community Bancorp, which was formerly known as Queens County Bancorp, converted to stock form on November 23, 1993, and initially traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "QCSB". When the Company changed its name to New York Community Bancorp, it also changed its trading symbol, to "NYCB". On December 20, 2002, the Company moved its listing to the New York Stock Exchange and dropped the "C" from its symbol in order to comply with the Exchange's requirements at the time. It took a while, but on November 13, 2012, we restored the "C" to its rightful place in our trading symbol and we've been trading on the Exchange under the symbol "NYCB" ever since.
