also become concerned about sudden
and unexplained declines in the prices
of securities. Such price declines can
give rise to questions about the
underlying financial condition of an
issuer, which in turn can create a crisis
of confidence without a fundamental
underlying basis. This crisis of
confidence can impair the liquidity and
ultimate viability of an issuer, with
potentially broad market consequences.
As a result of these recent
developments, the Commission
concluded that there continues to exist
the potential of sudden and excessive
fluctuations of securities prices
generally and disruption in the
functioning of the securities markets
that could threaten fair and orderly
markets. Based on this conclusion, the
Commission is exercising its powers
under Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.1 Pursuant to
Section 12(k)(2), in appropriate
circumstances the Commission may
issue summarily an order to alter,
supplement, suspend, or impose
requirements or restrictions with respect
to matters or actions subject to
regulation by the Commission.
We have determined that issuer
repurchases can represent an important
source of liquidity during times of
market volatility. Exchange Act Rule
10b–18 provides issuers with a safe
harbor to effect repurchases within
certain conditions. Historically, issuers
generally have been reluctant to
undertake repurchases without the
certainty that their repurchases come
within the safe harbor. Temporarily
altering the timing and volume
conditions in the safe harbor will
provide additional flexibility and
certainty to issuers that consider
executing repurchases during the
current market conditions. In these
unusual and extraordinary
circumstances, we believe altering the
timing and volume conditions in
Exchange Act Rule 10b–18 is necessary
in the public interest and for the
protection of investors to maintain fair
and orderly securities markets, and to
prevent substantial disruption in the
securities markets.
It is ordered, pursuant to our Section
12(k)(2) powers, that:
In connection with a Rule 10b–18
purchase or with a Rule 10b–18 bid that
is made during the period covered by
this Order by the use of any means or

such bids or purchases or the number of
brokers or dealers used in connection
with such bids or purchases if the issuer

(i) The time of purchases condition in
paragraphs (b)(2)(i), (b)(2)(ii), and

(ii) The volume of purchases
condition in paragraph (b)(4) of

of the ADTV for the security.
All other provisions of Exchange Act
Rule 10b–18, including the manner and
price of purchase conditions of
paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3), are not
altered by this order. Terms used in this
order have the same meanings as those
terms used in Exchange Act Rule 10b–

Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
Emergency Order Pursuant to Section
12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 Taking Temporary Action To
Respond to Market Developments
September 18, 2008.
The Commission is aware of the
continued potential of sudden and
excessive fluctuations of securities
prices and disruption in the functioning
of the securities markets that could
threaten fair and orderly markets. As
evidenced by our recent publication of
emergency orders under Section 12(k) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’),1 we are concerned

about the possible unnecessary or
artificial price movements based on
unfounded rumors regarding the
stability of financial institutions and
other issuers exacerbated by short
selling. We also believe that some
persons may take advantage of issuers
that have become temporarily weakened
by current market conditions to engage
in inappropriate short selling in the
securities of such issuers.
Given the importance of confidence in
our financial markets as a whole, we
have become concerned about sudden
and unexplained declines in the prices
of securities. Such price declines can
give rise to questions about the
underlying financial condition of an
issuer, which in turn can create a crisis
of confidence without a fundamental
underlying basis. This crisis of
confidence can impair the liquidity and
ultimate viability of an issuer, with
potentially broad market consequences.
As a result of these recent
developments, the Commission
concluded that there continues to exist
the potential of sudden and excessive
fluctuations of securities prices
generally and disruption in the
functioning of the securities markets
that could threaten fair and orderly
markets. Based on this conclusion, the
Commission is exercising its powers
under Section 12(k)(2) of the Exchange
Act.2 Pursuant to Section 12(k)(2), in
appropriate circumstances the
Commission may by order summarily
take action to alter, supplement,
suspend, or impose requirements or
restrictions with respect to matters or
actions subject to regulation by the
Commission.
We have concluded that it is
necessary to require certain institutional
investment managers to report
information concerning daily short sales
of securities. For purposes of this Order,
we believe that section 13(f) of the
Exchange Act and Rule 13f–1 provide
useful and tested terms and definitions
that provide a basis for requiring new
disclosure. The Order therefore requires
that an institutional investment manager

13(f) securities 4 having an aggregate fair

meaning as in Exchange Act Rule 13f–1(b). See 17

least $100,000,000 must file a new form
with the Commission. Specifically, an
institutional investment manager who
has filed or was required to file a Form
13F for the calendar quarter ended June
30, 2008 under section 13(f) of the
Exchange Act and Rule 13f–1(a)
thereunder will be required to file a
report on new Form SH with the
Commission on the first business day 5
of every calendar week immediately
following a week in which it effected
short sales.
The Form SH, which must be filed
electronically and will be publicly
available on our EDGAR system,6 must
include disclosure of the number and
value of securities sold short for each
section 13(f) security, except for short
sales in options, and the opening short
position, closing short position, largest
intraday short position, and the time of
the largest intraday short position, for
that security during each calendar day
of the prior week. No filing, however,
will be required when no short sales of
a section 13(f) security have been
effected since the previous filing of a
Form SH. In addition, this disclosure
requirement will only apply to short
sales effected after the effective date of
the Order. Finally, an institutional
investment manager need not report
short positions otherwise reportable if:
(i) The short position in the section 13(f)
securities constitutes less than onequarter of one percent of the class of the
issuer’s section 13(f) securities issued
and outstanding as reported on the
issuer’s most recent annual or quarterly
report, and any current report
subsequent thereto, filed with the
Commission pursuant to the Exchange
Act, unless the manager knows or has
reason to believe the information
contained therein is inaccurate; and (ii)
the fair market value of the short
position in the section 13(f) securities is
less than $1,000,000.
We believe that the extraordinary
circumstances we now confront require
the new disclosure requirements we are
imposing today. We also believe such
disclosure requirements are in the
public interest for the protection of
investors and will ensure transparency
in short selling.
It is ordered that, pursuant to our
Section 12(k)(2) powers:
respect to accounts holding section 13(f)
securities and that has filed or was required
to file a Form 13F for the calendar quarter
ended June 30, 2008, as required under
section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule
13f–1(a) thereunder, must file a report on
Form SH with the Commission. The Form SH
filing must be made on the first business day
of each week immediately following a week
in which the institutional investment
manager has effected any short sale with
respect to any section 13(f) security that is
not an option. With respect to each section
13(f) security that is not an option, the Form
SH filing must reflect the number and value
of securities sold short during the day as well
as the opening short position, closing short
position, largest intraday short position, and
the time of the largest intraday short position,
for that security on each calendar day of the
prior week in which the institutional
investment manager engaged in trading
activity with respect to short sales.
Finally, an institutional investment
manager need not report short positions
otherwise reportable if: (i) The short position
in the section 13(f) securities constitutes less
than one-quarter of one percent of the class
of the issuer’s section 13(f) securities issued
and outstanding as reported on the issuer’s
most recent annual or quarterly report, and
any current report subsequent thereto, filed
with the Commission pursuant to the
Exchange Act, unless the manager knows or
has reason to believe the information
contained therein is inaccurate; and (ii) the
fair market value of the short position in the
section 13(f) securities is less than
$1,000,000.
Short sale has the meaning set forth in
Rule 200 of Regulation SHO (17 CFR
242.200), and terms referenced in that
provision shall have the same meaning as set
forth in Regulation SHO; and short positions
to be reported are those resulting from ‘‘short
sales’’ as that term is defined in SEC Rule
200(a) of Regulation SHO.
It is further ordered that, pursuant to
our Section 12(k)(2) powers, the text of
Form SH be as set forth in the
attachment to this Order.
This Order shall be effective at 12:01
a.m. EDT on September 22, 2008, the
first Form SH shall be required to be
filed on September 29, 2008, and this
Order shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on
October 2, 2008 unless further extended
by the Commission.

MANAGERS PURSUANT TO EMERGENCY
ORDER, SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF
1934 RELEASE NO. 58591, SEPTEMBER 18,
2008
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rule as to Use of Form SH. Institutional
investment managers (‘‘Managers’’) must use
Form SH for reports to the Commission
required by the Commission’s Emergency
Order, Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Release No. 58591, September 18, 2008
(‘‘September 18, 2008 Order’’). The
September 18, 2008 Order provides that
every Manager that exercises investment
discretion with respect to accounts holding
section 13(f) securities, as defined in
paragraph (c) of section 13(f) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78m(f)]
(‘‘Exchange Act’’), who has filed or was
required to file a Form 13F for the calendar
quarter ended June 30, 2008, must file a
report on Form SH with the Commission to
report certain information about short sales
and short positions. The Form SH filing must
be made on the Monday (or, if Monday is a
federal holiday, the first business day
thereafter) of each calendar week
immediately following a Form SH reporting
period (i.e., the preceding Monday-Sunday,
or seven calendar days) in which the
Manager has entered into any new short
positions or closed part or all of any short
positions with respect to any section 13(f)
securities except for any short position(s) for
options (‘‘SH Short Positions’’). The Form SH
will report SH Short Positions for the
Monday-Sunday immediately preceding the
Monday on which the Form SH is due to be
filed.
2. Rules to Prevent Duplicative Reporting.
If two or more Managers, each of which is
required by the September 18, 2008 Order to
file a report on Form SH for the reporting
period, exercise investment discretion with
respect to the same securities, only one such
Manager must include information in its
reports on Form SH.
A Manager having information that is
required by the September 18, 2008 Order to
be reported on Form SH, and such
information is reported by another Manager
(or Managers), such Manager must identify
the Manager(s) reporting on its behalf in the
manner described in Special Instruction 6.
3. Filing of Form SH. A Manager must file
a Form SH report with the Commission on
or before 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or
Eastern Daylight Savings Time, whichever
currently is in effect in Washington, DC
(‘‘Eastern Time’’) on the Monday (or, if
Monday is a federal holiday, the first
business day thereafter) of each week
immediately following the preceding seven
calendar day period in which the Manager

has entered into any new SH Short
Position(s) or closed part or all of any SH
Short Position(s).
4. Official List of Section 13(f) Securities.
The official list of section 13(f) securities
published by the Commission (the ‘‘13F
List’’) lists the securities the holdings of
which a Manager is to report on Form 13F.
See rule 13f–1(c) [17 CFR 240.13f–1(c)]. Form
SH filers may rely on the current 13F List in
determining whether they need to report on
Form SH information about any particular
equity security, excluding short positions on
options. The 13F List is available on the
SEC’s website, at https://www.sec.gov/
divisions/investment/13flists.htm. Paper

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 58591]
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Emergency Order Pursuant to
Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Taking
Temporary Action To Respond to Market Developments
September 18, 2008.
The Commission is aware of the continued potential of sudden and
excessive fluctuations of securities prices and disruption in the
functioning of the securities markets that could threaten fair and
orderly markets. As evidenced by our recent publication of emergency
orders under Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Exchange Act''),\1\ we are concerned about the possible unnecessary
or artificial price movements based on unfounded rumors regarding the
stability of financial institutions and other issuers exacerbated by
short selling. We also believe that some persons may take advantage of
issuers that have become temporarily weakened by current market
conditions to engage in inappropriate short selling in the securities
of such issuers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Exchange Act Release No. 58166 (July 15, 2008), Exchange
Act Release No. 58572 (September 17, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given the importance of confidence in our financial markets as a
whole, we have become concerned about sudden and unexplained declines
in the prices of securities. Such price declines can give rise to
questions about the underlying financial condition of an issuer, which
in turn can create a crisis of confidence without a fundamental
underlying basis. This crisis of confidence can impair the liquidity
and ultimate viability of an issuer, with potentially broad market
consequences.
As a result of these recent developments, the Commission concluded
that there continues to exist the potential of sudden and excessive
fluctuations of securities prices generally and disruption in the
functioning of the securities markets that could threaten fair and
orderly markets. Based on this conclusion, the Commission is exercising
its powers under Section 12(k)(2) of the Exchange Act.\2\ Pursuant to
Section 12(k)(2), in appropriate circumstances the Commission may by
order summarily take action to alter, supplement, suspend, or impose
requirements or restrictions with respect to matters or actions subject
to regulation by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ This finding of an ``emergency'' is solely for purposes of
Section 12(k)(2) of the Exchange Act and is not intended to have any
other effect or meaning or to confer any right or impose any
obligation other than set forth in this Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have concluded that it is necessary to require certain
institutional investment managers to report information concerning
daily short sales of securities. For purposes of this Order, we believe
that section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1 provide useful
and tested terms and definitions that provide a basis for requiring new
disclosure. The Order therefore requires that an institutional
investment manager that exercises investment discretion \3\ with
respect to accounts holding section 13(f) securities \4\ having an
aggregate fair market value on the last trading day of any month of any
calendar year of at
[[Page 55176]]
least $100,000,000 must file a new form with the Commission.
Specifically, an institutional investment manager who has filed or was
required to file a Form 13F for the calendar quarter ended June 30,
2008 under section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1(a)
thereunder will be required to file a report on new Form SH with the
Commission on the first business day \5\ of every calendar week
immediately following a week in which it effected short sales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The term ``investment discretion'' has the same meaning as
in Exchange Act Rule 13f-1(b). See 17 CFR 240.13f-1(b).
\4\ The term ``section 13(f) securities'' has the same meaning
as in Exchange Act Rule 13f-1(c). See 17 CFR 240.13f-1(c).
\5\ See Exchange Act Rule 0-2 for a description of the business
hours of the Commission. 17 CFR 240.0-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Form SH, which must be filed electronically and will be
publicly available on our EDGAR system,\6\ must include disclosure of
the number and value of securities sold short for each section 13(f)
security, except for short sales in options, and the opening short
position, closing short position, largest intraday short position, and
the time of the largest intraday short position, for that security
during each calendar day of the prior week. No filing, however, will be
required when no short sales of a section 13(f) security have been
effected since the previous filing of a Form SH. In addition, this
disclosure requirement will only apply to short sales effected after
the effective date of the Order. Finally, an institutional investment
manager need not report short positions otherwise reportable if: (i)
The short position in the section 13(f) securities constitutes less
than one-quarter of one percent of the class of the issuer's section
13(f) securities issued and outstanding as reported on the issuer's
most recent annual or quarterly report, and any current report
subsequent thereto, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange
Act, unless the manager knows or has reason to believe the information
contained therein is inaccurate; and (ii) the fair market value of the
short position in the section 13(f) securities is less than $1,000,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ No Commission procedure for seeking confidential treatment
of information filed with or transmitted to the Commission, such as
those in 17 CFR 200.80, 200.83, or 240.24b-2, shall apply to the
information that this Order requires to be filed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that the extraordinary circumstances we now confront
require the new disclosure requirements we are imposing today. We also
believe such disclosure requirements are in the public interest for the
protection of investors and will ensure transparency in short selling.
It is ordered that, pursuant to our Section 12(k)(2) powers:
Every institutional investment manager that exercises investment
discretion with respect to accounts holding section 13(f) securities
and that has filed or was required to file a Form 13F for the
calendar quarter ended June 30, 2008, as required under section
13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1(a) thereunder, must file a
report on Form SH with the Commission. The Form SH filing must be
made on the first business day of each week immediately following a
week in which the institutional investment manager has effected any
short sale with respect to any section 13(f) security that is not an
option. With respect to each section 13(f) security that is not an
option, the Form SH filing must reflect the number and value of
securities sold short during the day as well as the opening short
position, closing short position, largest intraday short position,
and the time of the largest intraday short position, for that
security on each calendar day of the prior week in which the
institutional investment manager engaged in trading activity with
respect to short sales.
Finally, an institutional investment manager need not report
short positions otherwise reportable if: (i) The short position in
the section 13(f) securities constitutes less than one-quarter of
one percent of the class of the issuer's section 13(f) securities
issued and outstanding as reported on the issuer's most recent
annual or quarterly report, and any current report subsequent
thereto, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act,
unless the manager knows or has reason to believe the information
contained therein is inaccurate; and (ii) the fair market value of
the short position in the section 13(f) securities is less than
$1,000,000.
Short sale has the meaning set forth in Rule 200 of Regulation
SHO (17 CFR 242.200), and terms referenced in that provision shall
have the same meaning as set forth in Regulation SHO; and short
positions to be reported are those resulting from ``short sales'' as
that term is defined in SEC Rule 200(a) of Regulation SHO.
It is further ordered that, pursuant to our Section 12(k)(2)
powers, the text of Form SH be as set forth in the attachment to this
Order.
This Order shall be effective at 12:01 a.m. EDT on September 22,
2008, the first Form SH shall be required to be filed on September 29,
2008, and this Order shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on October 2, 2008
unless further extended by the Commission.
By the Commission.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.

FORM SH
INFORMATION REQUIRED OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT MANAGERS PURSUANT TO
EMERGENCY ORDER, SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 RELEASE NO. 58591,
SEPTEMBER 18, 2008
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rule as to Use of Form SH. Institutional investment managers
(``Managers'') must use Form SH for reports to the Commission
required by the Commission's Emergency Order, Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 Release No. 58591, September 18, 2008 (``September 18,
2008 Order''). The September 18, 2008 Order provides that every
Manager that exercises investment discretion with respect to
accounts holding section 13(f) securities, as defined in paragraph
(c) of section 13(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15
U.S.C. 78m(f)] (``Exchange Act''), who has filed or was required to
file a Form 13F for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2008, must
file a report on Form SH with the Commission to report certain
information about short sales and short positions. The Form SH
filing must be made on the Monday (or, if Monday is a federal
holiday, the first business day thereafter) of each calendar week
immediately following a Form SH reporting period (i.e., the
preceding Monday-Sunday, or seven calendar days) in which the
Manager has entered into any new short positions or closed part or
all of any short positions with respect to any section 13(f)
securities except for any short position(s) for options (``SH Short
Positions''). The Form SH will report SH Short Positions for the
Monday-Sunday immediately preceding the Monday on which the Form SH
is due to be filed.
2. Rules to Prevent Duplicative Reporting. If two or more
Managers, each of which is required by the September 18, 2008 Order
to file a report on Form SH for the reporting period, exercise
investment discretion with respect to the same securities, only one
such Manager must include information in its reports on Form SH.
A Manager having information that is required by the September
18, 2008 Order to be reported on Form SH, and such information is
reported by another Manager (or Managers), such Manager must
identify the Manager(s) reporting on its behalf in the manner
described in Special Instruction 6.
3. Filing of Form SH. A Manager must file a Form SH report with
the Commission on or before 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or
Eastern Daylight Savings Time, whichever currently is in effect in
Washington, DC (``Eastern Time'') on the Monday (or, if Monday is a
federal holiday, the first business day thereafter) of each week
immediately following the preceding seven calendar day period in
which the Manager
[[Page 55177]]
has entered into any new SH Short Position(s) or closed part or all
of any SH Short Position(s).
4. Official List of Section 13(f) Securities. The official list
of section 13(f) securities published by the Commission (the ``13F
List'') lists the securities the holdings of which a Manager is to
report on Form 13F. See rule 13f-1(c) [17 CFR 240.13f-1(c)]. Form SH
filers may rely on the current 13F List in determining whether they
need to report on Form SH information about any particular equity
security, excluding short positions on options. The 13F List is
available on the SEC's website, at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/
investment/13flists.htm. Paper copies are available at a reasonable
fee from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Public Reference
Room, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.
