100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-7010 or by email to
[email protected] 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 December 22, 2017, 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the notice, the Commission identified 38 such transfer agents
and stated that at any time after January 31, 2018, the Commission
intended to issue an order canceling the registrations of any or all of
the identified transfer agents. One transfer agent contacted the
Commission to object to the cancellation of its registration, stating
that it had not ceased doing business as a transfer agent. The
Commission has decided not to cancel the registration of that transfer
agent. None of the remaining 37 identified transfer agents contacted
the Commission to object to the cancellation of their registrations.
Accordingly, the Commission is cancelling the registrations of the
37 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\
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
