Self-Regulatory Organizations; New
York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of
Designation of Longer Period for
Commission Action on a Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Section
102.01B of the NYSE Listed Company
Manual To Modify the Requirements
That Apply to Companies That List
Without a Prior Exchange Act
Registration and That Are Not Listing
in Connection With an Underwritten
Initial Public Offering
May 12, 2017.
On March 13, 2017, the New York
Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ or the
‘‘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 Section 102.01B of the Manual to
modify the provisions relating to the
qualification of companies listing
without a prior Exchange Act
registration and an underwritten
offering to permit the listing of such
companies immediately upon
effectiveness of an Exchange Act
registration statement without a
concurrent public offering registered
under the Securities Act of 1933
provided the company meets all other
listing requirements. The proposal also
would eliminate the requirement to
have a private placement market trading
price if there is a valuation from an
independent third-party of $250 million
in market value of publicly-held shares.
The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on March 31, 2017.3 The
Commission received no comments on
the proposed rule change.
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides
that, within 45 days of the publication
of the notice of the filing of a proposed
rule change, or within such longer
period up to 90 days as the Commission
may designate if it finds such longer
period to be appropriate and publishes
its reasons for so finding or as to which
the self-regulatory organization
consents, the Commission shall approve
the proposed rule change, disapprove
the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule change should be
disapproved. The Commission is
extending this 45-day time period.
The Commission finds that it is
appropriate to designate a longer period
within which to take action on the
proposed rule change so that it has
sufficient time to consider the proposed
rule change. Accordingly, the
Commission, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,5 designates June 29,
2017, as the date by which the
Commission should approve,
disapprove, or institute proceedings to
determine whether to disapprove the
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
NYSE–2017–12).
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.6

thereunder,5 Investors Exchange LLC
(‘‘IEX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) is filing with the
Commission a proposed rule change to
correct an incorrect internal cross
reference in Rule 11.420(d)(2)(B). The
Exchange has designated this rule
change as ‘‘non-controversial’’ under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 6 and
provided the Commission with the
notice required by Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.7
The text of the proposed rule change
is available at the Exchange’s Web site
at www.iextrading.com, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
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 these statement may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The self-regulatory organization 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule
filing is to correct an inadvertent
incorrect internal cross reference in
Rule 11.420(d)(2)(B). Rule
11.420(d)(2)(B) specifies that ‘‘FINRA
Rules 5320, 7440, and 7450 shall be
construed as references to IEX Rules
10.6, 11.420(d), and 11.420(e),
respectively.’’ Due to a typographical
error, the rule references IEX Rule 10.6
(which does not exist) rather than IEX
Rule 10.160. Because of the reference to
FINRA Rule 5320, IEX does not believe
that the incorrect cross reference
resulted in any confusion among IEX
Members.
2. Statutory Basis
IEX believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions
of Section 6(b) 8 of the Act in general,
and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act 9 in particular, in that
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and

manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes it is consistent with
the Act to correct the incorrect cross
reference so that IEX’s rules are
accurate, avoiding any potential
confusion among Members.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
IEX does not believe that the
proposed rule change will result in any
burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange believes that the proposed
correction does not impact competition
in any respect since it is designed to
correct a typographical error.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither
solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has designated this rule
filing as non-controversial under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) 10 of the Act and
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 11 thereunder. Because
the foregoing proposed rule change does
not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 12 and
subparagraph (f)(6) Rule 19b–4
thereunder.13
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 14 normally does not
become operative for 30 days after the
date of filing. However, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) 15 permits the Commission to

12 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
13 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the
Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time
as designated by the Commission. The Exchange
has satisfied this requirement.

designate a shorter time if such action
is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay to allow it to immediately correct
an inadvertent typographical error in its
rules. The Commission believes that
waiver of the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest
because it will, without undue delay,
eliminate potential confusion caused by
the incorrect reference in Rule
11.420(d)(2)(B) to an IEX rule that does
not exist, and the proposed change does
not introduce or raise any new or novel
issues. Therefore, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative
delay and designates the proposed rule
change operative upon filing.16
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 17 of the Act to
determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
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 these statement may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule filing is to correct an
inadvertent incorrect internal cross reference in Rule 11.420(d)(2)(B).
Rule 11.420(d)(2)(B) specifies that ``FINRA Rules 5320, 7440, and 7450
shall be construed as references to IEX Rules 10.6, 11.420(d), and
11.420(e), respectively.'' Due to a typographical error, the rule
references IEX Rule 10.6 (which does not exist) rather than IEX Rule
10.160. Because of the reference to FINRA Rule 5320, IEX does not
believe that the incorrect cross reference resulted in any confusion
among IEX Members.
2. Statutory Basis
IEX believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 6(b) \8\ of the Act in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ in particular, in that it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange believes it is consistent with the Act to
correct the incorrect cross reference so that IEX's rules are accurate,
avoiding any potential confusion among Members.

IEX does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the
proposed correction does not impact competition in any respect since it
is designed to correct a typographical error.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has designated this rule filing as non-controversial
under Section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\
thereunder. Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \12\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \14\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \15\ permits the Commission to designate
a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay to allow it to immediately
correct an inadvertent typographical error in its rules. The Commission
believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay is consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest because it will,
without undue delay, eliminate potential confusion caused by the
incorrect reference in Rule 11.420(d)(2)(B) to an IEX rule that does
not exist, and the proposed change does not introduce or raise any new
or novel issues. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change operative upon
filing.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \17\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
