    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

    Moshe Rothman, Assistant Director, or Catherine Whiting, Special Counsel, at (202) 551-4990, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Trading and Markets, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or by email to tradingandmarkets@sec.gov with the phrase “Order Cancelling Transfer Agent Registration” in the subject line.

    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]

    Action as set forth or recommended herein approved pursuant to authority delegated by the Commission under Public Law 87-592.
