As noted above, in Amendment No. 1, the Exchange amended the original filing to correct an incorrect reference to the Manual in the purpose section of the filing, replace the proposed continued listing standard of 100 total holders with 100 public holders, add two additional continued listing standards— the 100,000 publicly-held shares requirement and the 100 public holder requirement—to the immediate VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Oct 16, 2017 Jkt 244001 suspension and delisting proceeding provisions of Section 804 of the Manual, and provide a clarification that all Subscription Receipts convert into primary common stock of the issuer. The Commission notes that the revisions in Amendment No. 1 provide additional clarity and specificity to the proposal and do not raise any novel regulatory concerns. In addition, the changes to the continued listing standards strengthen the proposal and are consistent with investor protection. Finally, the Commission notes that the majority of the original proposal was not modified and was subject to a full notice-and-comment period, and no comments were received. Accordingly, the Commission finds that good cause exists to approve the proposal, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act.35 VI. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,36 that the proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–2017– 31), as modified by Amendment No. 1 thereto, be, and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.37 Eduardo A. Aleman, Assistant Secretary.
