73758 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 29, 2011 / Notices 

12The Commission has not, to date, adopted rules 

concerning other significant matters where 

uninstructed broker votes should be prohibited, 

although it may do so in the future. Should the 

Commission adopt such rules, we would expect 

NSX to adopt coordinating rules promptly to 

comply with the statute. 

13As the Commission stated in approving NYSE 

rules prohibiting broker voting in the election of 

directors, having those with an economic interest in 

the company vote the shares, rather than the broker 

who has no such economic interest, furthers the 

goal of enfranchising shareholders. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 60215 (July 1, 2009), 74 

FR 33293 (July 10, 2009) (SR–NYSE–2006–92).

beneficial owner of a security, from 

granting a proxy to vote the security in 

connection with a shareholder vote on 

the election of a member of the board of 

directors of an issuer (except for a vote 

with respect to the uncontested election 

of a member of the board of directors of 

any investment company registered 

under the Investment Company Act of 

1940), executive compensation, or any 

other significant matter, as determined 

by the Commission by rule, unless the 

beneficial owner of the security has 

instructed the member to vote the proxy 

in accordance with the voting 

instructions of the beneficial owner.12

The proposed rule language also 

specifically states that an ETP Holder 

vote on any executive compensation 

matter would not be permitted even if 

such matter would otherwise qualify for 

an exception from the requirements of 

the Rule. The Commission believes this 

provision will make clear that any past 

practice or interpretation that may have 

permitted an ETP Holder vote on an 

executive compensation matter, under 

NSX’s existing rule, will no longer be 

applicable and is superseded by the 

newly adopted provisions. 

The Commission believes that the 

proposal is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) of the Act because the proposal 

will further investor protection and the 

public interest by assuring that 

shareholder votes on the election of the 

board of directors of an issuer (except 

for a vote with respect to the 

uncontested election of a member of the 

board of directors of any investment 

company registered under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940) and 

on executive compensation matters are 

made by those with an economic 

interest in the company, rather than by 

an ETP Holder that has no such 

economic interest, which should 

enhance corporate governance and 

accountability to shareholders.13

Moreover, the Commission notes that 

the Exchange deleted obsolete language 

regarding the effectiveness of Rule 

13.3(d), which should provide greater 

clarity in Exchange’s rules. The 

Commission further notes that the 

Exchange added ‘‘or association’’ to 

Rule 13.3(b)(2) so that an ETP Holder 

would be prohibited from giving a proxy 

to vote, unless pursuant to the rules of 

any national securities exchange or 

association of which it is a member. The 

Commission believes that this is 

consistent with ISE Rule 421 and 

BATS–Y Exchange, Inc. Rule 13.3(b). 

Based on the above, the Commission 

finds that the NSX proposal will further 

the purposes of Sections 6(b)(5) and 

6(b)(10) of the Act because it should 

enhance corporate accountability to 

shareholders while also serving to fulfill 

the Congressional intent in adopting 

Section 6(b)(10) of the Act. 

The Commission also finds good 

cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of 

the Act,14 for approving the proposed 

rule change prior to the 30th day after 

the date of publication of notice in the 

Federal Register. Section 6(b)(10) of the 

Act, enacted under Section 957 of the 

Dodd-Frank Act, does not provide for a 

transition phase, and requires rules of 

national securities exchanges to prohibit 

broker voting on the election of a 

member of the board of directors of an 

issuer (except for a vote with respect to 

the uncontested election of a member of 

the board of directors of any investment 

company registered under the 

Investment Company Act of 1940), 

executive compensation, or any other 

significant matter, as determined by the 

Commission by rule. The Commission 

believes that good cause exists to grant 

accelerated approval to the Exchange’s 

proposal, because it will conform NSX 

Rule 13.3 to the requirements of Section 

6(b)(10) of the Act. Moreover, the 

Commission notes that NSX’s proposed 

change in 13.3(d) and proposed 13.3(e) 

are identical to NYSE Supplementary 

Material .11(12) and Nasdaq Rule 

2251(d), respectively, which were 

previously approved by the 

Commission.15 Finally, as noted above, 

NSX’s proposed change to Rule 

13.3(b)(2) is consistent with ISE Rule 

421 and BATS–Y Exchange, Inc. Rule 

13.3(b), and the proposed change to 

Rule 13(d) to eliminate obsolete 

language provides clarity and helps 

avoid confusion. Based on the above, 

the Commission believes the Exchange’s 

proposed rule change raises no new 

regulatory issues, and therefore finds 

good cause to accelerate approval. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,16 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NSX–2011– 

012) be, and it hereby is, approved on 

an accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.17
