On October 11, 2011, NASDAQ OMX
PHLX LLC (‘‘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 the by-laws of its parent
corporation, The NASDAQ OMX Group,
Inc. (‘‘NASDAQ OMX’’). The proposed
rule change was published for comment
in the Federal Register on October 28,
2011.3 The Commission received no
comments on the proposal.
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange 4 and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of
the Act.5 The proposal will allow the
NASDAQ OMX Board of Directors
(‘‘Board’’) to determine the size of its
Audit Committee, so long as the Audit
Committee includes at least three
directors, as well as the size of its
Nominating & Governance Committee,
so long as the Nominating & Governance
Committee includes at least two
directors. The proposal is intended to
provide greater flexibility to the
NASDAQ OMX Board to determine the
appropriate size for these committees.
The Commission notes that the
proposed rule change maintains
compliance with the Exchange’s listing
standards. The proposal does not
change any other compositional
requirements of either the Audit
Committee or the Nominating &
Governance Committee, including
independence requirements. Moreover,
the Commission notes that the proposal
does not alter the application of Section
10A of the Exchange Act 6 and Rule
1 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65605
(October 21, 2011), 76 FR 67015.
4 In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule’s
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
6 15 U.S.C. 78j–1.

10A–3 thereunder 7 to the NASDAQ
OMX Audit Committee. The proposal
also deletes an obsolete section from,
and corrects a typographical error in,
the NASDAQ OMX by-laws, which are
clarifying revisions. For the foregoing
reasons, the Commission believes that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with the Act.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8 that the
proposed rule change (SR–PHLX–2011–
140) be, and it hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.9
