Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2005 / Notices
changes to this Policy, but in any event
not less frequently than annually. Upon
adoption of this Policy, the Board shall
make an affirmative determination with
respect to the independence of each
Director then serving on the Board.
5. It shall be the responsibility of each
Director to inform the Chairman of the
Board and the Chairman of the
Nominating & Governance Committee
promptly and otherwise as requested of
the existence of such relationships and
interests which might reasonably be
considered to bear on the Director’s
independence.
6. Any Director elected by the
members who is no longer independent
due to the existence of a relationship
described in Article IV, Section 2(a)–(d)
of the Constitution or whom the Board
otherwise determines not to be
independent from the Exchange under
this Policy shall, pursuant to Article IV,
Section 9, be deemed to have tendered
his or her resignation for consideration
by the Board, and such resignation shall
not be effective unless and until
accepted by the Board.
Independence Qualifications
1. In making an independence
determination with respect to any
Director or Director candidate, the
Board shall consider the standards
below with respect to relationships or
interests of the Director or Director
candidate with or in (a) the Exchange or
its subsidiaries, (b) members, allied
members, and lessor members, (c)
member organizations of the Exchange
(‘‘Member Organizations’’) or nonmember broker-dealers that engage in
business involving substantial direct
contact with securities customers
(‘‘Non-Member Broker-Dealers’’), and
(d) companies other than Member
Organizations whose securities are
listed on the Exchange (‘‘Listed
Companies’’). The standards below
relating to category (a) are the same as
those that the Exchange applies to its
own listed companies. The standards
below relating to categories (b), (c) and
(d) stem from the differing regulatory
responsibilities and roles that the
Exchange exercises in overseeing the
organizations and companies included
in those categories.
2. The term ‘‘approved person’’ used
herein has the meaning set forth in the
NYSE Constitution.
3. The term ‘‘immediate family
member’’ with respect to any Director
has the meaning set forth in the NYSE
Listed Company Manual.
