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 aspects 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 eliminate, 

effective January 1, 2007, the exemption 

from equity trading fees applicable to 

principal transactions by a member 

organization in conjunction with 

‘‘facilitating’’ a customer order of at 

least 10,000 shares.5 The elimination of 

this exemption is consistent with the 

Exchange’s policy of simplifying its fee 

structure by eliminating exemptions and 

implementing a single-tier flat fee 

structure. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the objectives of Section 6 of the Act 6

in general and furthers the objectives of 

Section 6(b)(4) 7 in particular, in that it 

is designed to provide for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 

other charges among its members and 

other persons using its facilities. 

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. 

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 foregoing proposed rule change 

has become effective upon filing 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the 

Act 8 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 9 thereunder 

because it establishes or changes a due, 

fee, or other charge imposed by the 

Exchange. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

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. 

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:

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE

Rule Change Regarding a Proposed 

Combination Between NYSE Group, 

Inc. and Euronext N.V. 

January 16, 2007. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 

amended, (‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 and Rule 

19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby 

given that on January 12, 2007, NYSE 

Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I, II, and III below, which Items 

have been substantially prepared by the 

Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

NYSE Arca is submitting the 

proposed rule change to the 

Commission in connection with the 

proposed business combination (the 

‘‘Combination’’) of NYSE Group, Inc., a 

Delaware corporation (‘‘NYSE Group’’), 

with Euronext N.V., a company 

organized under the laws of The 

Netherlands (‘‘Euronext’’). As a result of 

the Combination, the businesses of 

NYSE Group (including that of NYSE 

Arca) and Euronext will be held under 

a single, publicly traded holding 

company named NYSE Euronext, a 

Delaware corporation (‘‘NYSE 

Euronext’’). The Combination involves 

certain modifications to the 

organizational documents of NYSE 

Group,3 the current indirect parent 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 12 / Friday, January 19, 2007 / Notices 2579 

Sub, Inc. will be changed to NYSE Group, Inc. The 

changes to the NYSE Group organizational 

documents refer to changes from the current NYSE 

Group organizational documents. Technically, 

however, the Amended and Restated Certificate of 

Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of 

NYSE Group that will be operative upon the 

consummation of the Combination will be amended 

and restated forms of the Certificate of 

Incorporation and Bylaws of Jefferson Merger Sub, 

Inc. 

4The proposed Amended and Restated Certificate 

of Incorporation of NYSE Euronext is Exhibit 5A; 

the proposed Amended and Restated Bylaws of 

NYSE Euronext are Exhibit 5B; the proposed NYSE 

Euronext Director Independence Policy, which 

policy will replace the current NYSE Group 

Director Independence Policy, is Exhibit 5C; the 

proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of 

Incorporation of NYSE Group is Exhibit 5D; the 

proposed Amended and Restated Bylaws of NYSE 

Group are Exhibit 5E; the resolutions of the board 

of directors of NYSE Group are Exhibit 5F; the 

proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of 

Incorporation of Archipelago Holdings, Inc. (‘‘Arca 

Holdings’’) is Exhibit 5G and the proposed Trust 

Agreement for the Delaware Trust is Exhibit 5H. 

Each of these Exhibits will be operative as of the 

consummation of the Combination.

company of NYSE Arca, and of NYSE 

Euronext, which upon completion of the 

Combination will be the new indirect 

parent company of NYSE Arca. The 

organizational documents and 

independence policies of NYSE Group 

and NYSE Euronext and the trust 

documents constitute rules of the 

Exchange. The resolutions of the board 

of directors of NYSE Group and the 

changes to the Certificate of 

Incorporation of Archipelago Holdings, 

Inc., current direct parent of NYSE Arca 

are also rules of the Exchange requiring 

Commission approval. Accordingly, 

NYSE Arca submits this proposed rule 

change to reflect the rule changes to be 

implemented in connection with the 

Combination. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

and Exhibits 5A through 5H 4 are 

available at the Exchange, the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

and http://www.nysearca.com. 

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 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of, and basis for, 

the proposed rule change. The text of 

these 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 aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

NYSE Arca is submitting the 

proposed rule change to the 

Commission in connection with the 

Combination of NYSE Group with 

Euronext. As a result of the 

Combination, the businesses of NYSE 

Group (including that of NYSE Arca) 

and Euronext will be held under a 

single, publicly traded holding company 

named NYSE Euronext. The 

Combination involves certain 

modifications to the organizational 

documents of NYSE Group, the current 

indirect parent company of NYSE Arca, 

and of NYSE Euronext, which upon 

completion of the Combination will be 

the new indirect parent company of 

NYSE Arca. The organizational 

documents and independence policies 

of NYSE Group and NYSE Euronext and 

the trust documents constitute rules of 

the Exchange. The resolutions of the 

board of directors of NYSE Group and 

the changes to the Certificate of 

Incorporation of Archipelago Holdings, 

Inc., current direct parent of NYSE Arca 

are also rules of the Exchange requiring 

Commission approval. Accordingly, 

NYSE Arca submits this proposed rule 

change to reflect the rule changes to be 

implemented in connection with the 

Combination. 

For a description of the Combination 

and related rule changes regarding 

NYSE Euronext, NYSE Group, and the 

Delaware Trust, see the rule filing 

submitted by the New York Stock 

Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) relating to the 

Combination (File Number SR–NYSE–

2006–120) (the ‘‘NYSE Rule Filing’’).5

As a self-regulatory organization also 

owned by NYSE Group, the Exchange is 

making reference in this proposed rule 

change to the applicable matters 

described in the NYSE Rule Filing. In 

particular, the NYSE Rule Filing 

describes the following matters: 

• Corporate structure of NYSE 

Euronext following the Combination. In 

particular, Arca Holdings will remain a 

wholly owned subsidiary of NYSE 

Group. NYSE Arca Holdings, Inc., a 

Delaware corporation (‘‘NYSE Arca 

Holdings’’), and NYSE Arca L.L.C., a 

Delaware limited liability company 

(‘‘NYSE Arca LLC’’), will remain wholly 

owned subsidiaries of Arca Holdings. 

NYSE Arca will remain a wholly owned 

subsidiary of NYSE Arca Holdings and 

NYSE Arca Equities, Inc., a Delaware 

corporation formerly known as PCX 

Equities, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca Equities’’), 

will remain a wholly owned subsidiary 

of NYSE Arca. NYSE Arca will continue 

to maintain its status as a registered 

national securities exchange and selfregulatory organization. Arca Holdings’

businesses and assets will continue to 

be held by it and its subsidiaries. 

Pursuant to a services agreement, NYSE 

Regulation will perform many of the 

regulatory functions of NYSE Arca. 

There will be no change to the current 

manner of election or appointment of 

the directors and officers of Arca 

Holdings, NYSE Arca Holdings, NYSE 

Arca LLC, NYSE Arca or NYSE Arca 

Equities (or of the Euronext exchanges) 

as a result of the Combination. The 

Combination will have no effect on the 

ability of any party to trade securities on 

NYSE Arca or NYSE Arca Equities. 

• Board of directors and board 

committees of NYSE Euronext. 

Specifically, in contrast to the current 

independence policy of NYSE Group, 

the independence policy of NYSE 

Euronext will not provide as a 

categorical matter that a person fails to 

be independent if he or she is an 

executive officer of a foreign private 

issuer of securities listed on the NYSE 

or NYSE Arca. The Exchange believes 

that this change is important because 

NYSE Euronext will be a multinational 

company, with European Persons 

comprising half of its initial directors, 

most of whom will initially be former 

directors of Euronext. Euronext does not 

prohibit executive officers of companies 

listed on Euronext exchanges from 

serving as directors of Euronext because 

Euronext does not (and NYSE Euronext 

will not) regulate these companies in 

the way that the Exchange regulates its 

listed companies. The Exchange 

therefore believes that a categorical 

requirement prohibiting all executive 

officers of foreign private issuers listed 

on the NYSE on NYSE Arca could 

preclude a large pool of otherwise 

highly qualified director candidates 

from serving on the NYSE Euronext 

board of directors and is not necessary. 

In addition, the director 

independence policy will contain a 

transition period so that the 

independence requirements will not 

apply to the European Persons on the 

NYSE Euronext board of directors until 

the annual meeting of NYSE Euronext 

stockholders in 2008. 

Finally, in contrast to the current 

independence policy of NYSE Group, 

the independence policy of NYSE 

Euronext will not provide as a 

categorical matter that a person fails to 

be independent if he or she is a director 

of an affiliate of a member organization

6 In particular, to facilitate compliance with the 

requirements of Rule 17a–1(b) under the Exchange 

Act, NYSE Euronext shall maintain in the United 

States originals or copies of Overlapping Records 

(as defined in the NYSE Rule Filing) covered by 

Rule 17a–1(b) promptly after creation of such 

Overlapping Records.

(February 27, 2006), 71 FR 11251 (March 6, 2006) 

(File Number SR–NYSE–2005–77). 

8We note that the Commission has specifically 

approved the ownership and operation of the 

outbound router function of Archipelago Securities 

by Archipelago, subject to the conditions specified 

in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52497. 

9See proposed Amended and Restated Certificate 

of Incorporation of Arca Holdings., Article Fourth

(which includes member organizations 

of NYSE (as defined in paragraph (b) of 

Rule 2 of NYSE), OTP Firms of NYSE 

Arca (as defined in Rules 1.1(r) of NYSE 

Arca) and ETP Holders of NYSE Arca 

Equities, Inc. (as defined in Rule 1.1(n) 

of NYSE Arca Equities, Inc.)). 

The independence policy of NYSE 

Euronext will require, however, that (1) 

Executive officers of foreign private 

issuers (including, for the avoidance of 

doubt, companies whose securities are 

listed on a Euronext exchange), (2) 

executive officers of NYSE Euronext, (3) 

any European Person on the NYSE 

Euronext board of directors who would 

not satisfy the independence 

requirements in the independence 

policy but for the transition period, and 

(4) any director of an affiliate of a 

member organization, taken together, 

shall constitute no more than a minority 

of the total number of directors of NYSE 

Euronext. In addition, none of (1) An 

executive officer of an issuer whose 

securities are listed on the NYSE or 

NYSE Arca (regardless of whether such 

issuer is a foreign private issuer), (2) a 

European Person on the NYSE Euronext 

board of directors who would not satisfy 

the independence requirements in the 

independence policy but for the 

transition period, or (3) any director of 

an affiliate of a member organization 

can qualify as an independent director 

of the NYSE, NYSE Market or NYSE 

Regulation. Consequently, the Exchange 

believes that the proposed changes, 

when taken together, do not present 

significant concerns regarding the 

independence of the board of NYSE 

Euronext. 

• Management of NYSE Euronext. 

• Voting and ownership limitations 

on the shares of NYSE Euronext. 

• Protection of the self-regulatory 

functions and oversight.6

The Exchange understands that the 

Commission is also concerned about 

potential unfair competition and 

conflicts of interest between a U.S. 

exchange’s self-regulatory obligations 

and its commercial interests that could 

exist if such exchange were to become 

affiliated with one of its members, as 

well as the potential for unfair 

competitive advantage that the affiliated 

member could have by virtue of 

informational or operational advantages, 

or the ability to receive preferential 

treatment.7 The Exchange acknowledges 

that ownership of, or a control 

relationship with, a member 

organization by NYSE Euronext or any 

of its subsidiaries would necessitate that 

the foregoing concerns be first 

addressed with, and to the satisfaction 

of, the Commission 8 and/or, as 

appropriate, the European Regulators. 

• Provisions relating to the Delaware 

Trust and Dutch Foundation, including: 

• Administration of the Delaware 

Trust and Dutch Foundation, 

• Material adverse changes in law, 

• Remedies of the Dutch Foundation 

and Delaware Trust, 

• Unwinding of remedies, 

• Consequences of the exercise of 

remedies, 

• Automatic suspension and repeal of 

certain provisions in the NYSE Euronext 

organizational documents, 

• Transfer of Foundation and Trust 

property, 

• Submission to jurisdiction, 

• Other duties, 

• Initiatives by the Board of Trustees 

of the Delaware Trust and the Board of 

Directors of the Foundation, 

• Duration of the Dutch Foundation, 

and 

• Term of the Delaware Trust. 

• NYSE Group waiver of its 

ownership and voting limitations. 

In this regard, an extract with the 

relevant resolutions is attached to this 

rule filing as Exhibit 5F. 

The Exchange hereby requests that the 

Commission allow NYSE Euronext to 

wholly own and vote all of the 

outstanding common stock of NYSE 

Group, either alone or with its related 

persons, except for any related person of 

NYSE Euronext which is an ETP Holder 

of NYSE Arca Equities, OTP Holder or 

OTP Firm of NYSE Arca, or member or 

member organization of the NYSE, upon 

the consummation of the Combination. 

• Regulation following the 

Combination. 

• Changes to the organizational 

documents of NYSE Group. 

In addition, Article Fourth of the 

Certificate of Incorporation of Arca 

Holdings is being amended to provide 

for voting or ownership of the shares of 

stock of Arca Holdings by the Delaware 

Trust pursuant to the terms and 

conditions of the Trust Agreement by 

and among NYSE Euronext, Inc., NYSE 

Group, Inc. and the trustees and 

Delaware trustee thereto.9

The proposed rule change, if 

approved by the Commission, will not 

be operative until the consummation of 

the Combination. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that this filing 

is consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the 

Exchange Act,10 in general, and furthers 

the objectives of Section 6(b)(1) in 

particular, in that it enables the 

Exchange to be so organized as to have 

the capacity to be able to carry out the 

purposes of the Exchange Act and to 

comply, and to enforce compliance by 

its exchange members and persons 

associated with its exchange members, 

with the provisions of the Exchange Act, 

the rules and regulations thereunder, 

and the rules of the Exchange. The 

Exchange also believes that this filing 

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 

of the Exchange Act 11 because the rules 

summarized herein would create a 

governance and regulatory structure that 

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. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change would impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Exchange Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 35 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period (i) 

As the Commission may designate up to 

90 days of such date if it finds such 

longer period to be appropriate and 

publishes its reasons for so finding or 

(ii) as to which the self-regulatory

will:
