1. [Release No. 34-101746; File No. SR-NYSE-2024-48]

November 25, 2024.

On September 30, 2024, New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) ^[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,^[2] a proposed rule change to amend Section 802.01C (Price Criteria for Capital or Common Stock) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual to provide that (i) a company that falls below the price criteria set forth therein and effects a reverse stock split to regain compliance will not be eligible for a compliance period in certain circumstances, and (ii) a company may not effectuate a reverse stock split if it would result in the company falling below continued listing requirements. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on October 17, 2024.^[3]

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act ^[4] provides that within 45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change is December 1, 2024. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change, so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and comments received. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,^[5] designates January 15, 2025, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSE-2024-48).

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.^[6]

Vanessa A. Countryman,

Secretary.
