Culturally Significant Objects Imported for Exhibition Determinations: “The Power of Conversation: Jewish Women and Their Salons”, 7132 [05-2623]

Download as PDF 7132 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 27 / Thursday, February 10, 2005 / Notices address the special concerns attendant to the trading of hybrid securities like the Notes. For example, Section 107A of the Company Guide provides that the only issuers satisfying substantial asset and equity requirements may issue securities, such as the Notes. In addition, the Exchange’s ‘‘Other Securities’’ listing standards further require that the Notes have a market value of at least $4 million.21 By imposing the hybrid listing standards, suitability, disclosure, and compliance requirements noted above, the Commission believes that the Exchange has addressed adequately the potential problems that could arise from the hybrid nature of the Notes. In approving the products, the Commission recognizes that the DJIA is a price-weighted index comprised of 30 common stocks chosen by the editors of the WSJ as representative of the broad market of U.S. industry, with each stock affecting the DJIA in proportion to its market price. Given the large trading volume and capitalization of compositions of the stocks underlying the DJIA, the Commission believes that the listing and trading of the Notes that are linked to the DJIA should not unduly impact the market for the underlying securities comprising the DJIA or raise manipulative concerns. Moreover, the issuers of the underlying securities comprising the DJIA, are subject to reporting requirements under the Act, and all of the component stocks are either listed or traded on, or traded through the facilities of U.S. securities markets. The Commission also believes that any concerns that a broker-dealer, such as Citigroup, or a subsidiary providing a hedge for the issuer, will incur undue position exposure are minimized by the size of the Notes issuance in relation to the net worth of Citigroup.22 Finally, the Commission notes that the value of the DJIA will be disseminated at least once every fifteen seconds throughout the trading day. The 21 The Commission also notes that the 30 component stocks that comprise the DJIA are reporting companies under the Act, and the Notes will be registered under Section 12 of the Act. 22 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 44913 (October 9, 2001), 66 FR 52469 (October 15, 2001) (order approving the listing and trading of notes whose return is based on the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index) (File No. SR–NASD–2001– –73); 44483 (June 27, 2001), 66 FR 35677 (July 6, 2001) (order approving the listing and trading of notes whose return is based on a portfolio of 20 securities selected from the Amex Institutional Index) (File No. SR–Amex–2001–40); and 37744 (September 27, 1996), 61 FR 52480 (October 7, 1996) (order approving the listing and trading of notes whose return is based on a weighted portfolio of healthcare/biotechnology industry securities) (File No. SR–Amex–96–27).
