Given the passage of time since the Exchange last raised its listing fees, the actual dollar amount of the fee increases being proposed,9 and the fact that no commenters objected to the Exchange’s proposed fees, the Commission believes the increases in fees are reasonable. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,10 that the proposed rule change (SR–BSE–2005– 15) is approved.

Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on July 27, 2005, the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to transfer a portion of its ownership interest in its Boston Options Exchange facility (‘‘BOX’’) such that its aggregate percentage interest will fall below 20%. 9 For example, the original listing fee is increasing from $7,500 to $10,000 and the annual maintenance fee would increase from $1,000 to $1,500 for the first listed security. 10 See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in item III below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose On January 13, 2004, the Commission approved four BSE proposals that together established BOX as a facility of the Exchange.3 This proposal relates to section 8.4(f) of the operating agreement of BOX LLC (the ‘‘LLC Agreement’’), which requires that any Transfer 4 that would result in a reduction of BSE’s aggregate Percentage Interest 5 in BOX LLC to below 20% be subject to the rule filing process pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Act 6 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder.7 The BSE is proposing to Transfer a portion of its Units, which would result in the BSE’s Percentage Interest falling below the 20% threshold. Any such Transfer would be subject to the various limitations set forth elsewhere in the LLC Agreement, throughout Article 8 and elsewhere, regarding suitability and other regulatory and business requirements.8 Although the BSE does 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 49066 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2773 (January 20, 2004) (establishing a fee schedule for the proposed BOX facility); 49065 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2768 (January 20, 2004) (creating Boston Options Exchange Regulation LLC to which the BSE would delegate its self regulatory functions with respect to the BOX facility); 49068 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2775 (January 20, 2004) (approving trading rules for the BOX facility); and 49067 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2761 (January 20, 2004) (approving certain regulatory provisions of the operating agreement of BOX LLC). 4 Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, a ‘‘Transfer’’ occurs when any LLC member would ‘‘dispose of, sell, alienate, assign, exchange, participate, subparticipate, encumber, or otherwise transfer in any manner . . . all or any part portion of its Units’’ (ownership interests). 5 Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, ‘‘Percentage Interest’’ is defined as the ratio of the number of Units held by an LLC member to the total of all of the issued Units, expressed as a percentage. 6 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 7 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 8 For example, the BSE would be prohibited, under Section 8.1(d), from Transferring any of its PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45451 not presently have a transferee designated, any such transferee would need to sign and be bound by the provisions of the LLC Agreement. The purpose of the Transfer would be to assist the BSE to fund its equitiesrelated business interests and initiatives related thereto. Nothing about BSE’s transfer of Units will affect additional provisions of the LLC Agreement that make special accommodations for BSE as the SRO of the BOX facility. For example, Section 4.4(a) of the LLC Agreement provides that BOX may not take any major action unless such action is approved by a majority of the BOX LLC Board, including the affirmative vote of all of the directors designated by the BSE. Section 4.1(b) of the LLC Agreement provides that, with its present ownership interest, BSE is entitled to maintain two seats on the Board. Since the BSE does not at this time anticipate that any foreseen Transfers would result in BSE’s Percentage Interest of BOX LLC going below 8.00% (the threshold established in this Section to maintain at least two directors on the Board), then this entitlement will remain. Nevertheless, Section 4.1(b) also gives the BSE a perpetual right to designate at least one director on the BOX LLC Board regardless of whether it maintains any ownership interest. In addition, although BOX LLC itself will not carry out any regulatory functions, all of its activities must be consistent with the Act. For example, provisions set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 5.3 of the LLC Agreement state that each unitholder and director of BOX cooperate with the Commission and the BSE in carrying out their regulatory responsibilities. These provisions reinforce the notion that BOX, as a facility of an exchange, is not solely a commercial enterprise; it is an integral part of an SRO registered pursuant to the Act, and is subject to the obligations imposed by the Act. These obligations endure so long as BOX is a facility of the Exchange, regardless of the size of BSE’s ownership interest in BOX LLC. The Commission has stated, in a similar case involving the establishment of ArcaEx as a facility of the Pacific Exchange (‘‘PCX’’), that a national securities exchange need not have a significant ownership interest in the Units to anyone other than a Member, affiliate of a Member, or IB (according the terms set forth in Section 8.6(d)), until after the earlier of the second anniversary of the Launch Date of BOX or the date on which IB’s percentage interest has been reduced to no more than 8.00%. E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM 05AUN1 45452 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 150 / Friday, August 5, 2005 / Notices operator of one of its facilities.9 In fact, the Act does not require that an SRO have any ownership interest in the operator of one of its facilities. Nevertheless, the BSE intends to maintain an ongoing ownership interest in BOX LLC, the operator of its BOX facility. However, regardless of this intention, the BSE is the SRO for the BOX facility, and the BSE will, independent of its ownership interest, ensure that BOX LLC will conduct the facility’s business in a manner consistent with the regulatory and oversight responsibilities of the BSE and with the Act. Moreover, nothing in the Exchange’s proposal will alter or modify in any way the terms or the enforcement of the LLC Agreement. In addition, the actual transfer of any BSE units will not alter or modify the terms or the enforcement of the LLC Agreement. The BSE also represents that, should there be any changes in the terms of the LLC Agreement between the date of the publication of this proposal and the transfer of BSE’s Units which would result in the BSE’s Percentage Interest falling below the 20% threshold, then the Exchange will resubmit this filing in order for the Commission to consider the transfer of Units in light of any changes made to the LLC Agreement. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that this filing is consistent with section 6(b)10 of the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(1),11 in particular, in that it ensures that the Exchange is so organized and has the capacity to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply and to enforce compliance by the Exchange’s members with the Act, the rules and regulations of the Act, and the rules of the Exchange; and section 6(b)(5),12 in particular, in that it is designed to facilitate transactions in securities; to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices; to promote just and equitable principles of trade; to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities; to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and 9 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44983 (October 25, 2001), 66 FR 55225, 55229–30 (November 1, 2001) (approving SR–PCX–00–25).

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to transfer a portion of its ownership 
interest in its Boston Options Exchange facility (``BOX'') such that 
its aggregate percentage interest will fall below 20%.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
item III below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in 
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such 
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On January 13, 2004, the Commission approved four BSE proposals 
that together established BOX as a facility of the Exchange.\3\ This 
proposal relates to section 8.4(f) of the operating agreement of BOX 
LLC (the ``LLC Agreement''), which requires that any Transfer \4\ that 
would result in a reduction of BSE's aggregate Percentage Interest \5\ 
in BOX LLC to below 20% be subject to the rule filing process pursuant 
to section 19(b)(1) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 49066 (January 13, 
2004), 69 FR 2773 (January 20, 2004) (establishing a fee schedule 
for the proposed BOX facility); 49065 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2768 
(January 20, 2004) (creating Boston Options Exchange Regulation LLC 
to which the BSE would delegate its self regulatory functions with 
respect to the BOX facility); 49068 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2775 
(January 20, 2004) (approving trading rules for the BOX facility); 
and 49067 (January 13, 2004), 69 FR 2761 (January 20, 2004) 
(approving certain regulatory provisions of the operating agreement 
of BOX LLC).
    \4\ Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, a ``Transfer'' occurs 
when any LLC member would ``dispose of, sell, alienate, assign, 
exchange, participate, subparticipate, encumber, or otherwise 
transfer in any manner . . . all or any part portion of its Units'' 
(ownership interests).
    \5\ Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, ``Percentage 
Interest'' is defined as the ratio of the number of Units held by an 
LLC member to the total of all of the issued Units, expressed as a 
percentage.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The BSE is proposing to Transfer a portion of its Units, which 
would result in the BSE's Percentage Interest falling below the 20% 
threshold. Any such Transfer would be subject to the various 
limitations set forth elsewhere in the LLC Agreement, throughout 
Article 8 and elsewhere, regarding suitability and other regulatory and 
business requirements.\8\ Although the BSE does not presently have a 
transferee designated, any such transferee would need to sign and be 
bound by the provisions of the LLC Agreement. The purpose of the 
Transfer would be to assist the BSE to fund its equities-related 
business interests and initiatives related thereto.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For example, the BSE would be prohibited, under Section 
8.1(d), from Transferring any of its Units to anyone other than a 
Member, affiliate of a Member, or IB (according the terms set forth 
in Section 8.6(d)), until after the earlier of the second 
anniversary of the Launch Date of BOX or the date on which IB's 
percentage interest has been reduced to no more than 8.00%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nothing about BSE's transfer of Units will affect additional 
provisions of the LLC Agreement that make special accommodations for 
BSE as the SRO of the BOX facility. For example, Section 4.4(a) of the 
LLC Agreement provides that BOX may not take any major action unless 
such action is approved by a majority of the BOX LLC Board, including 
the affirmative vote of all of the directors designated by the BSE. 
Section 4.1(b) of the LLC Agreement provides that, with its present 
ownership interest, BSE is entitled to maintain two seats on the Board. 
Since the BSE does not at this time anticipate that any foreseen 
Transfers would result in BSE's Percentage Interest of BOX LLC going 
below 8.00% (the threshold established in this Section to maintain at 
least two directors on the Board), then this entitlement will remain. 
Nevertheless, Section 4.1(b) also gives the BSE a perpetual right to 
designate at least one director on the BOX LLC Board regardless of 
whether it maintains any ownership interest.
    In addition, although BOX LLC itself will not carry out any 
regulatory functions, all of its activities must be consistent with the 
Act. For example, provisions set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 5.3 of 
the LLC Agreement state that each unitholder and director of BOX 
cooperate with the Commission and the BSE in carrying out their 
regulatory responsibilities. These provisions reinforce the notion that 
BOX, as a facility of an exchange, is not solely a commercial 
enterprise; it is an integral part of an SRO registered pursuant to the 
Act, and is subject to the obligations imposed by the Act. These 
obligations endure so long as BOX is a facility of the Exchange, 
regardless of the size of BSE's ownership interest in BOX LLC.
    The Commission has stated, in a similar case involving the 
establishment of ArcaEx as a facility of the Pacific Exchange 
(``PCX''), that a national securities exchange need not have a 
significant ownership interest in the

[[Page 45452]]

operator of one of its facilities.\9\ In fact, the Act does not require 
that an SRO have any ownership interest in the operator of one of its 
facilities. Nevertheless, the BSE intends to maintain an ongoing 
ownership interest in BOX LLC, the operator of its BOX facility. 
However, regardless of this intention, the BSE is the SRO for the BOX 
facility, and the BSE will, independent of its ownership interest, 
ensure that BOX LLC will conduct the facility's business in a manner 
consistent with the regulatory and oversight responsibilities of the 
BSE and with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44983 (October 25, 
2001), 66 FR 55225, 55229-30 (November 1, 2001) (approving SR-PCX-
00-25). ArcaEx is operated by Archipelago Exchange LLC (``Arca 
LLC''). At the time of its approval, PCX's ownership interest in 
Arca LLC consisted solely of a 10% interest in Archipelago Holdings 
LLC, the parent company of Arca LLC. See 66 FR at 55225.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, nothing in the Exchange's proposal will alter or modify 
in any way the terms or the enforcement of the LLC Agreement. In 
addition, the actual transfer of any BSE units will not alter or modify 
the terms or the enforcement of the LLC Agreement. The BSE also 
represents that, should there be any changes in the terms of the LLC 
Agreement between the date of the publication of this proposal and the 
transfer of BSE's Units which would result in the BSE's Percentage 
Interest falling below the 20% threshold, then the Exchange will 
resubmit this filing in order for the Commission to consider the 
transfer of Units in light of any changes made to the LLC Agreement.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that this filing is consistent with section 
6(b)\10\ of the Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of section 
6(b)(1),\11\ in particular, in that it ensures that the Exchange is so 
organized and has the capacity to carry out the purposes of the Act and 
to comply and to enforce compliance by the Exchange's members with the 
Act, the rules and regulations of the Act, and the rules of the 
Exchange; and section 6(b)(5),\12\ in particular, in that it is 
designed to facilitate transactions in securities; to prevent 
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices; to promote just and 
equitable principles of trade; to foster cooperation and coordination 
with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing 
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in 
securities; to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a 
free and open market and a national market system; and in general, to 
protect investors and the public interest.
