SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By order dated October 4, 2010 (Release No. 
33-9149, 34-63031, IC-29456), the Securities and Exchange Commission 
stayed from November 15, 2010 until the resolution of the petition for 
review of Exchange Act Rule 14a-11 in Business Roundtable et al. v. 
Securities and Exchange Commission, No. 10-1305 (D.C. Cir., filed Sept. 
29, 2010), the effective and compliance dates of amendments to the 
Federal proxy and related rules that the Commission adopted to 
facilitate the effective exercise of shareholders' traditional state 
law rights to nominate and elect directors to company boards of 
directors. On October 20, 2010, a notice of the stay was published in 
the Federal Register (75 FR 64641). That announcement stated that a 
notice of the effective and compliance dates of the final rules would 
be published in the Federal Register following the resolution of the 
petition for review. On July 22, 2011, the United States Court of 
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order vacating 
Rule 14a-11 and on September 14, 2011, the Court issued its mandate. 
Because the mandate concludes the litigation in the Court of Appeals, 
the stay expired by its terms. The Court's order did not affect the 
amendment to Rule 14a-8, which was not challenged in the litigation, or 
the related rules and amendments adopted concurrently with Rule 14a-11 
and the amendment to Rule 14a-8. Accordingly, those rules and 
amendments are effective upon publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.
    As discussed in the preamble above, the final rules noted in the 
DATES section of this document and published on September 16, 2010 (75 
FR 56668) amending Title 17, Chapter II of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, are effective September 20, 2011, with the exception, as 
noted, of Rule 14a-11 (17 CFR 240.14a-11).

    Dated: September 15, 2011.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
