HorizonVentures Fund II, L.P.; Notice Seeking Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business Investment Act, Conflicts of Interest, 65801 [E7-22875]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 225 / Friday, November 23, 2007 / Notices mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES securities on the Exchange (‘‘Structured Equity Products’’),4 Phlx proposes modifications to the 800 Series that would accommodate the specific attributes of many of those types of securities.5 The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,6 in general, and with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,7 which requires that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to, among other things, promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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.8 The Commission believes that the proposed rule change should promote competition among national securities exchanges and should benefit investors by removing impediments to the listing and trading of Structured Equity Products. The Commission also notes that the proposed amendments to Phlx Rules 807 and 837 would conform those rules with similar provisions of another national securities exchange.9 In addition, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,10 which requires that the Exchange’s rules provide for an equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among Exchange members and issuers and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange also proposes that, for the two Structured Equity Products that it currently lists (Pharmaceutical Basket Opportunity Exchangeable Securities and Biotechnology Basket Opportunity Exchangeable Securities), the $500 per month continuing listing fee begin in January 2008 because the issuer of those securities was invoiced the current annual continuing listing fee ($1,250 for the first product and $250 for the second product) in January 2007. The 4 For purposes of this proposed rule change, Structured Equity Products are securities listed pursuant to the categories in Phlx Rule 803 entitled Other Securities, Equity Linked Notes, Basket Linked Notes, Index Linked Exchangeable Notes and Index Linked Securities. See Phlx Rule 803(f), (h), (k), (m) and (n). 5 The Exchange proposes to modify Phlx Rules 802, 806 (Initial Public Offerings), 807 (Registration Under the Exchange Act), 837 (Annual Reports) and the Phlx Fee Schedule as described in the Notice. 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 7 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 8 In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it has considered the proposal’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 9 See Sections 210 and 1101 of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide. 10 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:16 Nov 21, 2007 Jkt 214001 Commission believes that, with respect to the two Structured Equity Products currently listed on Phlx, it is appropriate for the Exchange to delay application of the proposed continuing listing fee until January 2008 11 because the issuer of those products may have reasonably expected that the current fee would cover its obligation for these two products through the end of 2007. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,12 that the proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2007– 60) be, and hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.13 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.
