SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 58591A]

 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Amendment to Emergency Order 
Pursuant to Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
Taking Temporary Action To Respond to Market Developments

September 21, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Exchange Act''),\1\ on September 18, 2008, the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') issued an Emergency Order 
(``Order'') requiring institutional investment managers to report short 
sales of certain publicly traded securities.\2\ The Order takes effect 
on September 22, 2008 and requires the filing of a Form SH on September 
29, 2008. This amendment relates to the public availability of the 
information provided by the institutional investment managers when they 
report such sales and also includes technical amendments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78 l(k)(2).
    \2\ See Exchange Act Release No. 58591 (September 18, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is aware of the continued potential of sudden and 
excessive fluctuations of securities prices and disruption in the 
functioning of the securities markets that could threaten fair and 
orderly markets. As evidenced by our recent publication of emergency 
orders under Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act,\3\ we are concerned 
about the possible unnecessary or artificial price movements based on 
unfounded rumors regarding the stability of financial institutions and 
other issuers exacerbated by short selling. We also believe that some 
persons may take advantage of issuers that have become temporarily 
weakened by current market conditions to engage in inappropriate short 
selling in the securities of such issuers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 58166 (July 15, 2008), Exchange 
Act Release No. 58572 (September 17, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given the importance of confidence in our financial markets as a 
whole, we have become concerned about sudden and unexplained declines 
in the prices of securities. Such price declines can give rise to 
questions about the underlying financial condition of an issuer, which 
in turn can create a crisis of confidence without a fundamental 
underlying basis. This crisis of confidence can impair the liquidity 
and ultimate viability of an issuer, with potentially broad market 
consequences.
    As a result of these recent developments, the Commission concluded 
that there continues to exist the potential of sudden and excessive 
fluctuations of securities prices generally and disruption in the 
functioning of the securities markets that could threaten fair and 
orderly markets. Based on this conclusion, the Commission is exercising 
its powers under Section 12(k)(2) of the Exchange Act.\4\ Pursuant to 
Section 12(k)(2), in appropriate circumstances the Commission may by 
order summarily take action to alter, supplement, suspend, or impose 
requirements or restrictions with respect to matters or actions subject 
to regulation by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ This finding of an ``emergency'' is solely for purposes of 
Section 12(k)(2) of the Exchange Act and is not intended to have any 
other effect or meaning or to confer any right or impose any 
obligation other than set forth in this Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have concluded that it is necessary to require certain 
institutional investment managers to report information concerning 
daily short sales of securities. For purposes of this Order, we believe 
that section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1 provide useful 
and tested terms and definitions that provide a basis for requiring new 
disclosure. The Order therefore requires that an institutional 
investment manager that exercises investment discretion \5\ with 
respect to accounts holding section 13(f) securities \6\ having an 
aggregate fair market value on the last trading day of any month of any 
calendar year of at least $100,000,000 must file a new form with the 
Commission. Specifically, an institutional investment manager who has 
filed or was required to file a Form 13F for the calendar quarter ended 
June 30, 2008 under section 13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1(a) 
thereunder will be required to file a report on new Form SH with the 
Commission on the first business day \7\ of every calendar week 
immediately following a week in which it effected short sales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The term ``investment discretion'' has the same meaning as 
in Exchange Act Rule 13f-1(b). See 17 CFR 240.13f-1(b).
    \6\ The term ``section 13(f) securities'' has the same meaning 
as in Exchange Act Rule 13f-1(c). See 17 CFR 240.13f-1(c).
    \7\ See Exchange Act Rule 0-2 for a description of the business 
hours of the Commission. 17 CFR 240.0-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Form SH, which must be filed electronically using the 
Commission's EDGAR system,\8\ must include disclosure of the number and 
value of securities sold short for each section 13(f) security, except 
for short sales in options, and the opening short position, closing 
short position, largest intraday short position, and the time of the 
largest intraday short position, for that security during each calendar 
day of the prior week.\9\ This disclosure requirement will apply only 
to short sales effected after the effective date of

[[Page 55558]]

the Order. In addition, no filing will be required when no short sales 
of a section 13(f) security have been effected since the previous 
filing of a Form SH. Finally, an institutional investment manager need 
not report short positions otherwise reportable if: (i) The short 
position in the section 13(f) security constitutes less than one-
quarter of one percent of that class of the issuer's section 13(f) 
securities issued and outstanding as reported on the issuer's most 
recent annual or quarterly report, and any current report subsequent 
thereto, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, unless 
the manager knows or has reason to believe the information contained 
therein is inaccurate; and (ii) the fair market value of the short 
position in the section 13(f) security is less than $1,000,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Although we are requiring managers to electronically file 
Forms SH using our EDGAR system, the Forms SH will be filed on a 
non-public basis. The Commission is permitting the non-public filing 
of Form SH in order to maintain fair and orderly securities markets 
and prevent substantial disruption in the securities markets. The 
Commission believes that the non-public submission of Form SH may 
help prevent artificial volatility in securities as well as further 
downward swings that are caused by short selling, while at the same 
time, providing the Commission with useful information to combat 
market manipulation that threatens investors and capital markets. 
Two weeks after the due date for the Forms SH, the Commission will 
make the Forms available to the public. We believe that by two weeks 
after the due date the reasons to maintain the information as non-
public will have diminished.
    \9\ No Commission procedure for seeking confidential treatment 
of information filed with or transmitted to the Commission, such as 
those in 17 CFR 200.80, 200.83, or 240.24b-2, shall apply to the 
information that this Order requires to be filed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We believe that the extraordinary circumstances we now confront 
require the new disclosure requirements we are imposing today. We also 
believe such disclosure requirements are necessary to protect the 
integrity and quality of the securities markets and strengthen investor 
confidence.
    It is ordered that, pursuant to our Section 12(k)(2) powers:

    Every institutional investment manager that exercises investment 
discretion with respect to accounts holding section 13(f) securities 
and that has filed or was required to file a Form 13F for the 
calendar quarter ended June 30, 2008, as required under section 
13(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13f-1(a) thereunder, must file a 
report on Form SH with the Commission. The Form SH filing must be 
made on the first business day of each week immediately following a 
week in which the institutional investment manager has effected any 
short sale with respect to any section 13(f) security that is not an 
option. With respect to each section 13(f) security that is not an 
option, the Form SH filing must reflect the number and value of 
securities sold short during the day as well as the opening short 
position, closing short position, largest intraday short position, 
and the time of the largest intraday short position, for that 
security on each calendar day of the prior week in which the 
institutional investment manager engaged in trading activity with 
respect to short sales.
    The disclosure requirement will apply only to short sales 
effected after the effective date of the Order. In addition, no 
filing will be required when no short sales of a section 13(f) 
security have been effected since the previous filing of a Form SH.
    Finally, an institutional investment manager need not report 
short positions otherwise reportable if: (i) The short position in 
the section 13(f) security constitutes less than one-quarter of one 
per cent of that class of the issuer's section 13(f) securities 
issued and outstanding as reported on the issuer's most recent 
annual or quarterly report, and any current report subsequent 
thereto, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, 
unless the manager knows or has reason to believe the information 
contained therein is inaccurate; and (ii) the fair market value of 
the short position in the section 13(f) security is less than 
$1,000,000.
    Short sale has the meaning set forth in Rule 200(a) of 
Regulation SHO (17 CFR 242.200(a)), and terms referenced in that 
provision shall have the same meaning as set forth in Regulation 
SHO; and short positions to be reported are those resulting from 
``short sales'' as that term is defined in Rule 200(a) of Regulation 
SHO.

    It is further ordered that, pursuant to our Section 12(k)(2) 
powers, the text of Form SH be as set forth in the attachment to this 
Order.
    This Order shall be effective at 12:01 a.m. EDT on September 22, 
2008, the first Form SH shall be required to be filed on September 29, 
2008, and this Order shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on October 2, 2008 
unless further extended by the Commission.

    By the Commission.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.

FORM SH

INFORMATION REQUIRED OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT MANAGERS PURSUANT TO 
EMERGENCY ORDER, SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 RELEASE NO. 58591, 
SEPTEMBER 18, 2008

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Rule as to Use of Form SH. Institutional investment managers 
(``Managers'') must use Form SH for reports to the Commission 
required by the Commission's Emergency Order, Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 Release No. 58591, September 18, 2008 and the Amendment 
to that Order, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 58591A, 
September 21, 2008 (the ``Orders''). The Orders provide that every 
Manager that exercises investment discretion with respect to 
accounts holding section 13(f) securities, as defined in rule 13f-
1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78m(f)] 
(``Exchange Act''), who has filed or was required to file a Form 13F 
for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2008, must file a non-public 
report on Form SH with the Commission to report certain information 
about short sales and short positions. The non-public Form SH filing 
must be made on the Monday (or, if Monday is a federal holiday, the 
first business day thereafter) of each calendar week immediately 
following a Form SH reporting period (i.e., the preceding Monday-
Sunday, or seven calendar days) in which the Manager has entered 
into any new short positions with respect to any section 13(f) 
securities except for any short position(s) for options (``SH Short 
Positions''). The non-public Form SH will report SH Short Positions 
for the Monday-Sunday immediately preceding the Monday on which the 
Form SH is due to be filed.
    2. Rules To Prevent Duplicative Reporting. If two or more 
Managers, each of which is required by the Orders to file a report 
on Form SH for the reporting period, exercise investment discretion 
with respect to the same securities, only one such Manager must 
include information in its reports on Form SH.
    A Manager having information that is required by the Orders to 
be reported on Form SH, and such information is reported by another 
Manager (or Managers), such Manager must identify the Manager(s) 
reporting on its behalf in the manner described in Special 
Instruction 6.
    3. Filing of Form SH. A Form SH report that is filed by a 
Manager with the Commission shall be non-public upon filing. A 
Manager must label its Form SH as non-public by adding the phrase 
NON-PUBLIC (in bold and capital letters) at the top and bottom of 
each page of the entire form, i.e., each page(s) of the Form SH 
Cover Page (the ``Cover Page''), the Form SH Summary Page (the 
``Summary Page''), and the Form SH Information Table (the 
``Information Table'').
    A Manager must file a Form SH report with the Commission on or 
before 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Savings 
Time, whichever currently is in effect in Washington, DC (``Eastern 
Time'') on the Monday (or, if Monday is a federal holiday, the first 
business day thereafter) of each week immediately following the 
preceding seven calendar day period in which the Manager has entered 
into any new SH Short Position(s). The Form SH must be filed 
electronically using the Commission's EDGAR system.
    4. Official List of Section 13(f) Securities. The official list 
of section 13(f) securities published by the Commission (the ``13F 
List'') lists the securities the holdings of which a Manager is to 
report on Form 13F. See rule 13f-1(c) [17 CFR 240.13f-1(c)]. Form SH 
filers may rely on the current 13F List in determining whether they 
need to report on Form SH information about any particular equity 
security, excluding short positions on options. The 13F List is 
available on the SEC's Web site, at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/
investment/13flists.htm. Paper copies are available at a reasonable 
fee from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Public Reference 
Room, 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.
