beneficial owner of a security, from
granting a proxy to vote the security in
connection with a shareholder vote on
the election of a member of the board of
directors of an issuer (except for a vote
with respect to the uncontested election
of a member of the board of directors of
any investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of
1940), executive compensation, or any
other significant matter, as determined
by the Commission by rule, unless the
beneficial owner of the security has
instructed the member to vote the proxy
in accordance with the voting
instructions of the beneficial owner.12
The proposed rule language also
specifically states that an ETP Holder
vote on any executive compensation
matter would not be permitted even if
such matter would otherwise qualify for
an exception from the requirements of
the Rule. The Commission believes this
provision will make clear that any past
practice or interpretation that may have
permitted an ETP Holder vote on an
executive compensation matter, under
NSX’s existing rule, will no longer be
applicable and is superseded by the
newly adopted provisions.
The Commission believes that the
proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act because the proposal
will further investor protection and the
public interest by assuring that
shareholder votes on the election of the
board of directors of an issuer (except
for a vote with respect to the
uncontested election of a member of the
board of directors of any investment
company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940) and
on executive compensation matters are
made by those with an economic
interest in the company, rather than by
an ETP Holder that has no such
economic interest, which should
enhance corporate governance and
accountability to shareholders.13
Moreover, the Commission notes that
the Exchange deleted obsolete language
regarding the effectiveness of Rule
13.3(d), which should provide greater
clarity in Exchange’s rules. The
Commission further notes that the
12 The Commission has not, to date, adopted rules
concerning other significant matters where
uninstructed broker votes should be prohibited,
although it may do so in the future. Should the
Commission adopt such rules, we would expect
NSX to adopt coordinating rules promptly to
comply with the statute.
13 As the Commission stated in approving NYSE
rules prohibiting broker voting in the election of
directors, having those with an economic interest in
the company vote the shares, rather than the broker
who has no such economic interest, furthers the
goal of enfranchising shareholders. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 60215 (July 1, 2009), 74
FR 33293 (July 10, 2009) (SR–NYSE–2006–92).

Exchange added ‘‘or association’’ to
Rule 13.3(b)(2) so that an ETP Holder
would be prohibited from giving a proxy
to vote, unless pursuant to the rules of
any national securities exchange or
association of which it is a member. The
Commission believes that this is
consistent with ISE Rule 421 and
BATS–Y Exchange, Inc. Rule 13.3(b).
Based on the above, the Commission
finds that the NSX proposal will further
the purposes of Sections 6(b)(5) and
6(b)(10) of the Act because it should
enhance corporate accountability to
shareholders while also serving to fulfill
the Congressional intent in adopting
Section 6(b)(10) of the Act.
The Commission also finds good
cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act,14 for approving the proposed
rule change prior to the 30th day after
the date of publication of notice in the
Federal Register. Section 6(b)(10) of the
Act, enacted under Section 957 of the
Dodd-Frank Act, does not provide for a
transition phase, and requires rules of
national securities exchanges to prohibit
broker voting on the election of a
member of the board of directors of an
issuer (except for a vote with respect to
the uncontested election of a member of
the board of directors of any investment
company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940),
executive compensation, or any other
significant matter, as determined by the
Commission by rule. The Commission
believes that good cause exists to grant
accelerated approval to the Exchange’s
proposal, because it will conform NSX
Rule 13.3 to the requirements of Section
6(b)(10) of the Act. Moreover, the
Commission notes that NSX’s proposed
change in 13.3(d) and proposed 13.3(e)
are identical to NYSE Supplementary
Material .11(12) and Nasdaq Rule
2251(d), respectively, which were
previously approved by the
Commission.15 Finally, as noted above,
NSX’s proposed change to Rule
13.3(b)(2) is consistent with ISE Rule
421 and BATS–Y Exchange, Inc. Rule
13.3(b), and the proposed change to
Rule 13(d) to eliminate obsolete
language provides clarity and helps
avoid confusion. Based on the above,
the Commission believes the Exchange’s
proposed rule change raises no new
regulatory issues, and therefore finds
good cause to accelerate approval.
