SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3 notice is hereby given that on August 28, 2014, New York Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). U.S.C. 78a. 3 17 CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend Section 107.03 of the Manual to provide that no security shall be approved for listing on the Exchange that is delinquent in its filing obligation with the Commission. The Exchange adopted Section 107.03 of the Manual to codify its longstanding practice of requiring that issuers provide investors with current and complete financial and corporate information prior to the date on which such issuer seeks to list a security.4 Currently, Section 107.03 states that no security shall be approved for listing on the Exchange if the issuer has not for the 12 months immediately preceding the date of listing filed on a timely basis all periodic reports required to be filed with the Commission. While this requirement furthers the Exchange’s goal of requiring adequate current disclosure, the Exchange believes that Section 107.03 could currently be read to impose requirements upon issuers that the Exchange did not intend and that go beyond the Exchange’s practices it intended to embody in the rule. Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to amend Section 107.03 to clarify how it will evaluate an issuer’s compliance with Commission reporting requirements as it relates to approving such issuer for listing on the Exchange. In its current form, the language of Section 107.03 precludes the listing of any company that has failed to timely file any of its periodic reports with the SEC in the 12 months prior to the listing approval date, even if that company was current in its filings as of the date of its listing application. This would preclude the Exchange from listing a security if its issuer had been late—even by a de minimis amount—in filing just one of its required periodic reports during the preceding 12 months. The Exchange believes this outcome would, in certain instances, be disproportionately punitive in comparison to the infraction and would not provide any meaningful investor protection benefits. In particular, the Exchange generally does not believe that there is any investor protection benefit to be derived from conditioning an issuer’s listing on the timely filing of a Form 10–Q when the 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70218 (August 15, 2013), 78 FR 51788 (August 21, 2013) (SR–NYSE–2013–33). 2 15 PO 00000 55517 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM 16SEN1
