licensing framework (i.e., Working Draft

proposed positions and actions, as 

appropriate, for deliberation by the full 

Committee.

Granting Approval of Proposed Rule 

Change and Notice of Filing and Order 

Granting Accelerated Approval to 

Amendment No. 1 Regarding the 

Proposed Combination Between NYSE 

Group, Inc. and Euronext N.V. 

February 14, 2007. 

I. Introduction 

On December 29, 2006, New York 

Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934, as amended, (‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1

and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed 

rule change regarding the proposed 

business combination (‘‘Combination’’) 

between NYSE Group, Inc. (‘‘NYSE 

Group’’) and Euronext N.V. 

(‘‘Euronext’’). The proposed rule change 

was published for comment in the 

Federal Register on January 8, 2007.3

The Commission has received two 

comments on the proposal.4 The 

Exchange filed a response to comments 

on February 14, 2007.5

On February 13, 2007, the Exchange 

filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed 

rule change.6 This order approves the 

proposed rule change, grants accelerated 

approval to Amendment No. 1, and 

solicits comments from interested 

persons on Amendment No. 1. 

The Commission has reviewed 

carefully the proposed rule change, the 

comment letters, and the NYSE 

Response to Comments, and finds that 

the proposed rule change is consistent 

with the requirements of the Exchange 

Act and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to a national 

securities exchange.7 In particular, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b) of the Exchange Act,8 which, 

among other things, requires a national 

securities exchange to be so organized 

and have the capacity to be able to carry 

out the purposes of the Exchange Act 

and to enforce compliance by its 

members and persons associated with 

its members with the provisions of the 

Exchange Act, the rules and regulations 

thereunder, and the rules of the 

exchange, and assure the fair 

representation of its members in the 

selection of its directors and 

administration of its affairs, and provide 

that one or more directors shall be 

representative of issuers and investors 

and not be associated with a member of 

the exchange, broker, or dealer. Section 

6(b) of the Exchange Act 9 also requires 

that the rules of the exchange be 

designed 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.
