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 that the 

proposed amendments are clarifying 

amendments or are non-substantive. 

The proposals would provide the proper 

Committee and entity names, with 

respect to the proposals to change the 

Nominating Committee and NASDAQ 

OMX PHLX names, and in the case of 

the broker nonvote proposal, would 

provide additional information to 

shareholders. The Exchange believes 

that these proposed amendments protect 

investors and the public interest, 

including NASDAQ OMX shareholders, 

in that the proposed changes would 

serve to clarify NASDAQ OMX’s ByLaws and processes for its annual 

election.
