Documents for NYSE-Listed Companies

On November 25, 2009, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved changes to the corporate governance listing standards set forth in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (SR-NYSE-2009-89 as amended). These changes took effect on January 1, 2010. The NYSE has updated the Section 303A written affirmation forms, exhibits and instructions to reflect the changes in Section 303A and to make certain other changes.

* Forms can be filed electronically via egovdirect.com, an interactive, web-based tool that helps listed companies meet their NYSE governance and compliance requirements. Please contact us at (212) 656-4651 or egovdirect@nyse.com to register your company for access to the site.
