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

12 The 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.

13 As 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). 14 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

15 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 62874 (September 9, 2010), 75 FR 56152 (September 15, 2010) (SR–NYSE–2010–59) and 62992 (September 24, 2010), 75 FR 60844 (October 1, 2010) (SR–Nasdaq–2010–114). 16 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

17 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 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an ETP Holder vote on an executive compensation matter, under NSX’s existing rule, will no longer be applicable and is superseded by the newly adopted provisions.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
Kevin M. O’Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
