Background

    Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act provides that if the Commission 
finds that any transfer agent registered with the Commission is no 
longer in existence or has ceased to do business as a transfer agent, 
the Commission shall by order cancel that transfer agent's 
registration. On September 27, 2022, the Commission published notice of 
its intention to cancel the registration of certain transfer agents 
whom it believed were no longer in existence or had ceased doing 
business as transfer agents.\3\

    In the notice, the Commission identified 52 such transfer agents 
and stated that at any time after November 1, 2022, the Commission 
intended to issue an order canceling the registrations of any or all of 
the identified transfer agents. The Commission received no responses to 
the notice.
    Accordingly, the Commission is cancelling the registrations of the 
52 transfer agents identified in the Appendix attached to this Order.

Order

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that each of 
the transfer agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix either 
is no longer in existence or has ceased doing business as a transfer 
agent.
    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act 
that the registration as a transfer agent of each of the transfer 
agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix be and hereby is 
cancelled.
    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets pursuant 
to delegated authority.\4\
