OPM Online Form 1417, the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) Information System form, collects information from the 277 local CFC campaigns to verify campaign results and collect contact information. Revisions to the form include clarifying edits to items numbered 2–6, 9 and 10 of the Campaign Results Total Page, the elimination of questions numbered 13– 15 of the Campaign Results Total Page and the return of one question edited to collect pledge amounts designated specifically for federal emergency or disaster relief, if any, on the Campaign Results Total Page.

I. Introduction On April 7, 2006, the American Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to amend Section 704 (Annual Meetings) of the Amex Company Guide.3 On December 13, 2007, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. On December 20, 2007, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended by 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 See Section 704 of the Amex Company Guide. 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 thereto, was published for comment in the Federal Register on December 28, 2007.4 On January 4, 2008, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 3 to the proposed rule change.5 The Commission received no comments regarding the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 thereto. II. Description of the Proposal Amex seeks to amend its annual shareholder meeting requirement applicable to its listed issuers. Currently, Section 704 of the Amex Company Guide requires all listed companies to hold an annual meeting of their shareholders in accordance with such listed company’s charter, by-laws, and applicable state or other laws. An annual meeting allows the equity owners of a company the opportunity to elect directors and meet with management to discuss company affairs. The Exchange believes, however, that this requirement is not necessary for certain issuers of specific types of securities because the holders of such securities do not directly participate as equity holders and vote in the election of directors. In addition, Amex seeks to clarify when an issuer should hold its annual meeting and remove the notice requirement for delayed annual meetings. First, Amex proposes to amend Section 704 of its Company Guide to explicitly state that an issuer generally must hold an annual meeting within one year of the end of its fiscal year if it is subject to the annual shareholder meeting requirement. In addition, a new listing that was not previously subject to the requirement to hold an annual meeting would be required to hold its first annual shareholder meeting within one year of its fiscal year end following the date of listing. Amex proposes two exceptions to these general requirements: (1) An issuer is not required to hold an annual meeting if its fiscal year is less than twelve months long as a result of a change in its fiscal year end; and (2) an issuer does not have to hold an annual meeting in the same year in which it completes its initial public offering. Amex also proposes to list a variety of securities, the issuers of which should not be subject to the foregoing general 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57016 (December 20, 2007), 72 FR 73911. 5 In Amendment No. 3, Amex made several minor typographical corrections to the proposed rule text of Exhibit 5 to accurately reflect the names of certain securities. Because Amendment No. 3 is technical in nature, it is not subject to notice and comment. E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1
