The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. SCCP has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1. Purpose As part of an ongoing global rebranding initiative, the Company has begun to refer to itself, both internally and externally, as Nasdaq, rather than NASDAQ OMX. For purposes of consistency with its marketing, communications and other materials, the Company has decided to change the legal names of NASDAQ OMX and certain of its subsidiaries to eliminate references to OMX. The Company therefore proposes to amend its Charter and By-Laws to change its legal name from The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. to Nasdaq, Inc. Specifically, the Company proposes to file a Certificate of Amendment to its Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend Article First of the Charter to reflect the new name. In addition, the Company proposes to amend the title and Article I(f) of the By-Laws to reflect the new name. 2. Statutory Basis SCCP believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(C) of the Act,3 in that it assures a fair representation of shareholders and participants in the selection of directors 3 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(C). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:57 Jun 02, 2015 Jkt 235001 and administration of its affairs. While the proposals relate to the organizational documents of NASDAQ OMX, rather than SCCP, SCCP is indirectly owned by NASDAQ OMX, and therefore, NASDAQ OMX’s stockholders have an indirect stake in SCCP. In addition, the participants in SCCP, to the extent any exist, could purchase stock in NASDAQ OMX in the open market, just like any other stockholder. Specifically, NASDAQ OMX is proposing changes to its Charter and ByLaws to change NASDAQ OMX’s legal name to Nasdaq, Inc. SCCP believes that the changes will eliminate confusion that may exist because of NASDAQ OMX’s ongoing global rebranding as Nasdaq. As a result, SCCP believes that the proposals assure a fair representation of NASDAQ OMX’s stockholders in the selection of directors and administration of NASDAQ OMX’s affairs, as well as the affairs of SCCP. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition Because the proposed rule change relates to the governance of NASDAQ OMX and not to the operations of SCCP, SCCP does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were either solicited or received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which SCCP consents, the Commission will: (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

of the Proposed Rule Change

    SCCP is filing this proposed rule change with respect to amendments

Incorporation (the ``Charter'') and By-Laws (the ``By-Laws'') of its 
parent corporation, The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (``NASDAQ OMX'' or the

OMX following approval by the Commission. The text of the proposed rule 
change is available on SCCP's Web site at https://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/nasdaqomxphlx/sccp/, at the principal 
office of SCCP, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, SCCP 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 these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. SCCP has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    As part of an ongoing global rebranding initiative, the Company has 
begun to refer to itself, both internally and externally, as Nasdaq, 
rather than NASDAQ OMX. For purposes of consistency with its marketing, 
communications and other materials, the Company has decided to change 
the legal names of NASDAQ OMX and certain of its subsidiaries to 
eliminate references to OMX. The Company therefore proposes to amend 
its Charter and By-Laws to change its legal name from The NASDAQ OMX 
Group, Inc. to Nasdaq, Inc.
    Specifically, the Company proposes to file a Certificate of 
Amendment to its Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of 
Delaware to amend Article First of the Charter to reflect the new name. 
In addition, the Company proposes to amend the title and Article I(f) 
of the By-Laws to reflect the new name.
2. Statutory Basis
    SCCP believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
17A(b)(3)(C) of the Act,\3\ in that it assures a fair representation of 
shareholders and participants in the selection of directors and 
administration of its affairs. While the proposals relate to the 
organizational documents of NASDAQ OMX, rather than SCCP, SCCP is 
indirectly owned by NASDAQ OMX, and therefore, NASDAQ OMX's 
stockholders have an indirect stake in SCCP. In addition, the 
participants in SCCP, to the extent any exist, could purchase stock in 
NASDAQ OMX in the open market, just like any other stockholder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, NASDAQ OMX is proposing changes to its Charter and 
By-Laws to change NASDAQ OMX's legal name to Nasdaq, Inc. SCCP believes 
that the changes will eliminate confusion that may exist because of 
NASDAQ OMX's ongoing global rebranding as Nasdaq. As a result, SCCP 
believes that the proposals assure a fair representation of NASDAQ 
OMX's stockholders in the selection of directors and administration of 
NASDAQ OMX's affairs, as well as the affairs of SCCP.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Because the proposed rule change relates to the governance of 
NASDAQ OMX and not to the operations of SCCP, SCCP does not believe 
that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not 
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the 
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be 
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to 
which SCCP consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule 
change should be disapproved.
