[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 68 (Monday, April 9, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 15187-15189] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-07113] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-82985; File No. SR-NYSE-2018-11] Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Fees Charged in Connection With the Filing of Supplemental Listing Applications in Connection With the Issuance of Convertible Securities April 3, 2018. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given that, on March 22, 2018, 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, II, and III 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a. \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend its fees charged in connection with the filing of listing applications in relation to the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for additional securities of a listed class of common stock. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at www.nyse.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 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, of the most significant parts of such statements. 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 its fees charged in connection with the filing of listing applications in relation to the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for additional securities of a listed class of common stock (``Convertible Securities''). A listed company is required to submit a supplemental listing application (``SLAP'') prior to any issuance of Convertible Securities. Each time a listed company submits a SLAP in connection with the issuance of Convertible Securities, it must pay the minimum fee of $10,000 provided for by Section 902.03 of the Manual. The Exchange, however, does not charge any [[Page 15188]] listing fees with respect to the common shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities at the time of submission of the required SLAP. Rather, Section 902.02 of the Manual provides that the listed company will be charged at the end of the calendar year [sic] for any such common shares that are issued that year.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ The Commission notes that Section 902.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (``Manual'') states that with respect to shares that are not issued at the time of listing, such as for Convertible Securities, listing fees will accrue on these securities as of the date of issuance and such accrued listing fees will be billed at the beginning of the following year along with the issuer's annual fees. See Section 902.02 of the Manual (``Timing of Listing Fees for Subsequent Issuances''). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Exchange has noted that it is not unusual for a listed company to enter into a number of different transactions in which it issues Convertible Securities. Each such transaction requires the submission of a SLAP, and the payment of the $10,000 minimum SLAP fee, incurring a significant fee expense even where the transactions covered by the SLAPs are immaterial in size. The Exchange proposes to amend Section 902.03 to limit the fee expense to listed companies. Under the proposed amendment, a $10,000 SLAP fee will be billed with respect to the first SLAP solely in connection with the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for additional securities of a listed class that is submitted by a listed issuer in each calendar quarter. No additional SLAP fee will be billed for any other SLAP solely in connection with the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for additional securities of a listed class that is submitted during the rest of that calendar quarter. The Exchange does not expect that the reduction in fee revenue associated with this proposed amendment will have any effect on its ability to finance its regulatory program. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) \6\ of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination among its members and issuers and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, 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 and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act in that it represents an equitable allocation of fees and does not unfairly discriminate among listed companies. In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposed amendment is not unfairly discriminatory because it will be applied the same to all listed companies submitting SLAPs in connection with the issuance of Convertible Securities. The Exchange also notes that listed companies will be charged per share listing fees with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the Convertible Securities, thereby ensuring that the fees associated with a Convertible Securities transaction will be reflective of the size of the transaction. B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will not impose any burden competition as its sole purpose is to provide a limited relief from the listing fees a company incurs when it issues Convertible Securities in a series of separate transactions during a calendar quarter. C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b- 4 \9\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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) \10\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic CommentsUse the Commission's internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or Send an email to [email protected].
