    On April 23, 2024, the Commission instituted proceedings pursuant 
to Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS \2\ under the Exchange Act to 
determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed CT Plan or to 
approve the proposed CT Plan with any changes or subject to any 
conditions the Commission deems necessary or appropriate after 
considering public comment.\3\ Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS 
provides that such proceedings shall be concluded within 180 days of 
the date of publication of notice of the plan or amendment and that the 
time for conclusion of such proceedings may be extended for up to 60 
days (up to 240 days from the date of notice publication) if the 
Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes 
the reasons for such determination or the plan participants consent to 
a longer period.\4\ The 180th day after publication of the Notice for 
the proposed CT Plan is July 23, 2024. The Commission is extending this

approve the proposed CT Plan with any changes or subject to any 
conditions the Commission deems necessary or appropriate (File No. 4-
