that you wish to make available

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1 

The Commission finds good cause, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, 

to approve the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to 

the 30th day after the date of 

publication of Amendment No. 1 in the 

Federal Register. As discussed above, 

Amendment No. 1, the Exchange 

revised the proposal to: (1) adopt a new 

definition of an ‘‘Active Related Party’’ 

in Section 312.03(b)(i) of the Manual 

and to retain the current definition of 

‘‘Related Party’’ for purposes of Section 

312.03(b)(ii) of the Manual; (2) adopt in 

Section 312.04 of the Manual 

definitions of ‘‘control’’ and ‘‘group’’ for 

purposes of proposed amended Section 

312.03(b)(i) of the Manual; (3) include 

additional explanation of why the 

Exchange is proposing the rule change 

and believes that it is appropriate; (4) 

explain that the proposal would not 

have any substantive effect on the 

application of Section 312.03(b)(ii) of 

the Manual and that a listed company 

selling securities to a Related Party 

under the circumstances set forth in 

312.03(b)(ii) of the Manual, as amended, 

would remain subject to the shareholder 

approval requirements therein; and (5) 

make other clarifying and conforming 

changes. The Commission believes that 

these revisions provide greater clarity 

on the application of the proposal and 

its scope and the circumstances under 

which shareholder approval is still 

required under Section 312.03 of the 

Manual. The additional explanation in 

support of the proposal as well as the 

amended rule language in Amendment 

No. 1 assist the Commission in 

evaluating the Exchange’s proposal and 

in determining that it is consistent with 

the Act. 

Accordingly, the Commission finds 

good cause for approving the proposed 

rule change, as modified by Amendment 

No. 1, on an accelerated basis, pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act. 

VI. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 45 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–2023– 

34), as modified by Amendment No. 1, 

be, and hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.46
