RE: CINCINNATI STOCK EXCHANGE CHANGES NAME TO NATIONAL STOCK
EXCHANGE
The SEC has published for comment, and at the same time granted immediate
effectiveness to, a proposed rule change filed by the Cincinnati Stock Exchange to change its
name to the National Stock Exchange.1 In particular, the Release states that because orders and
quotations are now sent to the Exchange from all over the country, and the Exchange trades
securities listed in the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq
Stock Market, Exchange members and its Board of Trustees have determined that the name of
the Exchange be changed to the National Stock Exchange. The Release notes that the filing
reflects a name change only and does not affect the manner of the Exchange’s operations and
governance structure.
