(or any future amendments thereof) and contain the information and be
accompanied by the required documents. in so far as the provisions of that
circular are applicable.
NoN-PUBLICATION OF APPLICATIONS
Until further notice the names of investment trusts which apply for
listing of their securities shall not be published, inasmuch as refusals may
be frequent until satisfactory final requirements for listing shall have been
developed through experience. At a later date the usual publicity may be
given to the names of applicants.
MANAGEMENT
Each application for listing a security of an investment trust, as defined
above, must state whether such trust is to be managed independently by
its own officers and directors or whether it is to be managed directly or
indirectly by other individuals, firms or corporations. The names of all
individuals, firms or corporations which are directly or indirectly responsible
for the management must be set forth, and there must be included in the
body of the application a summary of all significant provisions contained
in the Charter, Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company,
and all significant provisions contained in any existing agreements or con-
tracts which define the powers and privileges of the management and the
restraints thereon. .
Copies of all of these documents must be submitted with the application.
These requirements apply likewise to any subsidiaries existing at the
time of the application.
If the investment trust is managed exclusively and independently by its
own officers and directors, the affiliations of such officers and directors with
other firms or corporations must be stated.
If the investment trust is managed directly or indirectly by another indi-
vidual, firm or corporation, a copy of each contract with such individual,
firm or corporation must be included in the body of the application.
Each application must present full details regarding the basis on which
compensation for management is computed, including direct payments,
options, warrants and any other form of direct or indirect compensation
either present or future. .
Applicant companies must agree promptly to advise the Exchange, on
behalf of themselves and of any subsidiaries which have been or may be
formed, of any change in the terms or conditions of any management con-
tracts existing at the time of listing and of the terms and conditions of
contracts subsequently concluded. In like manner applicant companies and
subsidiaries must agree to inform the Exchange of all changes in terms and
conditions of option warrants.
OPERATING EXPERIENCE
No fixed period of actual existence as an operating investment trust is
now stipulated before the applicant is eligible for listing, but such reasonable
period will be required as in the judgment of the Committee has demon-
strated that the applicant is a successful operating organization. The
required period may be made to depend upon the organization’s size and
the purpose of the trust
