[Release No. 34–59575; File No. SR– 

NYSEALTR–2009–24] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Alternext U.S. LLC; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change Amending Certificate of 

Formation, Amended and Restated 

Operating Agreement, Rules, and 

Company Guide To Change the Name 

of the Exchange to NYSE Amex LLC 

March 13, 2009. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on March 3, 

2009, NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC 

(‘‘NYSEALTR’’ or the ‘‘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 prepared by NYSEALTR. The 

Exchange has designated this proposal 

as one concerned solely with the 

administration of the Exchange 

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

the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(3) 

thereunder,4 which renders the proposal 

effective upon filing with the 

Commission. 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 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

Certificate of Formation, Amended and 

Restated Operating Agreement, Rules, 

and Company Guide to change the name 

of the Exchange to NYSE Amex LLC. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available at NYSE Alternext, the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

and http://www.nyse.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, 

NYSEALTR included statements 

concerning the purpose of, and basis for, 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. 

NYSEALTR 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 purpose of this proposed rule 

change is to change the name of the 

Exchange to ‘‘NYSE Amex LLC.’’ At the 

time of the acquisition of the American 

Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’) by NYSE 

Euronext on October 1, 2008, the name 

of the Exchange, as the successor entity 

to Amex, was initially established as 

‘‘NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC.’’ After 

further analysis following the 

acquisition, the Exchange has 

determined that for branding purposes it 

would be desirable to retain some 

reference to the historic Amex exchange 

in the name of the Exchange. 

Specifically, the Certificate of 

Formation of the Exchange shall be 

amended to remove all references to 

‘‘NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC’’ and replace 

them with ‘‘NYSE Amex LLC.’’ The 

Amended and Restated Operating 

Agreement of NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC 

shall again be amended and restated to 

become the Amended and Restated 

Operating Agreement of NYSE Amex 

LLC, with the word ‘‘Company’’ to be 

redefined to represent ‘‘NYSE Amex 

LLC’’ and ARTICLE I, Section 1.01 to be 

revised to state the name of the limited 

liability company as ‘‘NYSE Amex 

LLC.’’ In the Exchange’s Rules and its 

Company Guide, all references to 

‘‘Alternext’’ or ‘‘Alternext US’’ will be 

replaced with the word ‘‘Amex.’’ None 

of the foregoing changes are substantive. 

Two minor non-substantive corrections 

to the lettering format in one rule will 

also be made. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b) 5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934 (the ‘‘Act’’), in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 

6(b)(5) 6 in particular in that it is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, to 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, to foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, 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. More specifically, 

changing the name of the Exchange to 

include a reference to the historic Amex 

exchange may help eliminate potential 

confusion among investors and assist in 

clarifying for them the role of the 

Exchange in the marketplace and the 

types of companies whose securities are 

listed here. 

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 purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change is concerned solely with the 

administration of the Exchange, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 7 and 

subparagraph (f)(3) of Rule 19b–4 

thereunder.8 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
