2017-27566. Notice of Intention To Cancel Registrations of Certain Transfer Agents

December 18, 2017.

Notice is hereby given that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) intends to issue an order, pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”),^[1] cancelling the registrations of the transfer agents whose names appear in the attached Appendix.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Christian Sabella, Associate Director, or Catherine Whiting, Senior Counsel, at [phone], U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Trading and Markets, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-7010 or by email at [e-mail] with the phrase “Notice of Intention to Cancel 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.

Although the Commission has made efforts to locate and to determine the status of each of the transfer agents listed in the Appendix, based on the facts it has, the Commission believes that each of those transfer agents is no longer in existence or has ceased doing business as a transfer agent. Accordingly, at any time after January 31, 2018, the Commission intends to issue an order cancelling the registrations of the transfer agents listed in the Appendix.

The representative of any transfer agent listed in the Appendix who believes the registration of the transfer agent should not be cancelled must notify the Commission in writing or by email prior to January 31, 2018. Written notifications may be mailed to Office of Clearance and Settlement, Division of Trading and Markets, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20459-7010. Email notifications may be sent to [e-mail] with the phrase “Notice of Intention to Cancel Transfer Agent Registration” in the subject line.

For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.²

Brent J. Fields,

Secretary.
