New York Stock Exchange Q&A

1. What are your exchange’s basic listing requirements (market capitalization, operating history, revenue, income, etc.)?

The listing requirements for the NYSE are far too extensive to list here. There are different requirements for domestic companies and non-U.S. companies. To add to the confusion, the exchange offers two sets of standards – worldwide and domestic – under which non-U.S. companies may qualify for listing. Generally, the tests or standards relate to distribution and size requirements and financial standards. A full description of the requirements is available from the NYSE website (www.nyse.com) in Sections 102.00 and 103.00 of the Listed Company Manual. These can be found from the main page by navigating to the section providing information about Listing on the NYSE and clicking on the link for the Listed Company Manual under the Related Information section.

2. What is the average market capitalization of companies listed on your exchange? What is the total market capitalization?

As of August 30, 2007, the NYSE total market cap is $20,363.5 billion with an average market cap of $10.5 billion.
