Maine Disaster #ME-00011, 28850-28851 [E8-11102]

Download as PDF 28850 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 97 / Monday, May 19, 2008 / Notices it is designed 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. With respect to the proposal to apply the initial and continued listing standards for warrants to rights to purchase securities, the Commission notes that it has approved the application of such standards to rights with respect to the rules of another national securities exchange.16 The Commission believes that, in the case of warrants or rights, as applicable, the Exchange’s proposal to permit the underlying security to be listed and trading on another national securities exchange should benefit investors by offering additional investment options on the Exchange for warrants and rights and, at the same time, protect such investors, as long as the underlying security satisfies the applicable initial and continued listing standards of such other national securities exchange. The Commission notes that, with respect to rights listed on the Exchange and based on an underlying security listed on another national securities exchange, the Exchange will halt or suspend trading in rights when the underlying security is halted on the relevant national securities exchange.17 The Commission expects that the Exchange will also monitor on a continuous basis the application of the continued listing standards under proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(e) as they relate to such rights. Under proposed NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(e), if the security underlying a series of rights or warrants is delisted by another national securities exchange, the Exchange must delist such rights. With respect to the adoption of listing standards for Units, the Commission notes that it has approved substantially similar standards for other national securities exchanges.18 The Commission believes that, in the case of Units based on a debt security component, the Exchange’s proposal to permit the issuer 16 See supra notes 6 and 7. Commission further notes that, by virtue of the requirement that the security underlying the right must be listed and trading on a national securities exchange, such security will be subject to last-sale reporting. As a result, the Commission expects the Exchange, and the Exchange has committed, to halt trading in a series of rights if the underlying security is halted on the relevant national securities exchange. 18 See supra notes 10 and 12. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 17 The VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:18 May 16, 2008 Jkt 214001 of such debt component to have equity securities listed on another national securities exchange should benefit investors by offering additional investment options on the Exchange for Units.19 The Commission notes that, with respect to Units listed on the Exchange, the Exchange will halt or suspend trading in such Units when the trading of an underlying security component is halted. In addition, the Commission further notes that the Exchange will monitor on a continuous basis the application of the continued listing standards under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 5.5(a) as they relate to such Units. Lastly, under the proposed rule, if it appears that not enough Units will be separated to allow the components to meet the public distribution and aggregate market value requirements independently or there are other concerns, the rule makes clear that the Exchange should consider delisting the components or Unit. This recognizes the fact that although the rule allows the aggregation of Units and components for purposes of the applicable distribution standards, the Exchange will need to ensure that there is some minimal level of liquidity in each component and Unit and should consider delisting if the public distribution or the aggregate market value of the components or Unit has become so reduced as to make continued listing on the Exchange inadvisable. In this regard, the Exchange will take into account the individual distribution values and the trading characteristics of the component or Unit and whether it would be in the public interest for continued trading of such component or Unit.20 The Commission believes that the proposal should help to promote transparency of the Exchange rules relating to the initial and continued listing of rights and Units and provide clearer guidance for members and investors trading in such securities. As noted above, the security components underlying a series of rights or Units, as applicable, will be subject to last-sale 19 In the case of Units based on a debt security component, the Commission notes that, if a series of equity securities of the issuer of the debt security component is delisted on a national securities exchange, the Exchange would be expected to halt trading in the related Units and institute delisting proceedings for such Units. 20 The Commission notes that minimum distribution requirements are extremely important to ensure, among other things, the liquidity of a security and an active public market. The changes being approved for meeting the distribution standards applicable to Units and their components recognize the unique trading characteristics and challenges that can occur in meeting the minimum standards during the separation period of the Units, while containing certain protections to ensure certain minimum standards will be met. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reporting by virtue of being listed on the Exchange or another national securities exchange, and the Commission notes that the Exchange will halt trading in such series of rights or Units, as applicable, if a security component thereunder ceases to trade on the relevant market or if such security component is no longer subject to lastsale reporting and is delisted on a national securities exchange. For the foregoing reasons, the Commission believes it is reasonable and consistent with the Act for the Exchange to adopt listing standards for rights and Units in the manner described in the proposal. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,21 that the proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca– 2007–104), as modified by Amendment No. 1 thereto, be, and it hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.22 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.
