(ii) Amex Rule 118 to include in the
scope of the Rule securities listed on the
Nasdaq Capital Market (formerly
referred to as the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market) and to accommodate the dual
listing of securities listed on the Nasdaq
Capital Market and the Nasdaq National
Market. Additionally, the Amex
proposed minor, technical changes to
Amex Rules 7, 24, 109, 115, 126, 128A,
131, 135A, 156, 170, 190 and 205, and
Sections 142 and 950 of the Company
Guide to reflect the proposed changes to
Amex Rule 118. On March 21, 2006,
Amex filed Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change. The proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment
No. 1, was published for notice and
comment in the Federal Register on
April 4, 2006.3 The Commission
received no comments on the proposed
rule change. This order approves the
proposed rule change.
The Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a self-regulatory
organization.4 Specifically, the
Commission believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Sections
6(b)(4) and (5) of the Act,5 in that it is
designed to provide an equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and
other charges among members and
issuers and other persons using the
Amex’s facilities, and 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. The
Commission also believes the proposed
rule change is not designed to permit
unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers,
or to regulate by virtue of any authority
conferred by the Act matters not related
to the purpose of the Act or the
administration of the Amex. The
Commission believes that competition
among listing markets has the potential

formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
