GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This form is required by Rule 12d2-2 (17 CFR 240.12d2-2) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (“Exchange Act”).
2. Exchanges: Attach the delisting determination to this Form 25 to serve as the required Notice pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19d-1
(17 CFR 240.19d-1). Form 25 and the attached Notice will be considered compliance with the provisions of Rule 19d-1 as applicable.
3. The Form 25 and any attachments must be filed electronically on the EDGAR database.
4. The removal of the class of securities from listing on the exchange shall be effective 10 days after filing the Form 25. With respect to
the filing of any amendment to Form 25, the removal of the class of securities from listing on the exchange shall be effective 10 days
after filing the amended Form 25.
5. The withdrawal of registration of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act shall take effect in 90 days,
or such shorter period as the Commission may determine, after the exchange or issuer files a Form 25 with the Commission. With
respect to the filing of any amendment to Form 25, the withdrawal of registration of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b)
shall take effect in 90 days, or such shorter period as the Commission may determine, after the exchange or issuer files the amended
Form 25.
6. For purposes of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, a class of securities shall no longer be considered listed on a national securities
exchange upon the effective date of delisting even though the withdrawal of registration is effective at a later time.
7. The issuer’s duty to file any reports under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder as a result of
the security’s registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act shall be suspended upon the effective date of the delisting. If,
following the effective date of delisting, the withdrawal of registration under Section 12(b) is delayed by the Commission, an exchange,
or an issuer, the issuer shall, within 60 days of such delay, file any reports that would have been required under Section 13(a) and the
rules and regulations thereunder, had the Form 25 not been filed. The issuer will also file any subsequent reports required under
Section 13(a) for the duration of the delay.
8. An issuer whose reporting responsibilities under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act are suspended for a class of securities under
Rule 12d2-2(d)(5) is, nevertheless, required to file any reports that an issuer with such a class of securities registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act would be required to file under Section 13(a) if such class of securities:
(a) is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; or
(b) would be registered, or would be required to be registered, under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act but for the exemption
from registration under Section 12(g) provided by Section 12(g)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act.
9. An issuer whose reporting responsibilities under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act are suspended under Rule 12d2-2(d)(5) is,
nevertheless, required to file any reports that would be required under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act but for the fact that the
reporting obligations are: (a) suspended for a class of securities under Rule 12d2-2(d)(5); and (b) suspended, terminated, or otherwise
absent under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The reporting responsibilities of an issuer under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
shall continue until the issuer is required to file reports under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act or the issuer’s reporting responsibilities under Section 15(d) are otherwise suspended.
10. Issuers should determine if they have additional registration and reporting requirements under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act
and reporting obligations pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act upon the filing of Form 25.
11. In any case where the Commission has commenced a proceeding under Section 12 of the Exchange Act prior to the withdrawal of
the registration of a class of securities becoming effective, such security will remain registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act
until the final decision of such proceeding, or until the Commission otherwise determines to suspend the effective date of, or revoke,
the registration of a class of securities.
12. In the event removal is being effected under Rule 12d2-2(a)(3) and the national securities exchange has admitted or intends to admit
a successor security to trading under the temporary exemption provided for by Exchange Act Rule 12a-5 (17 CFR 240.12a-5) the Form 25
shall be filed with the Commission in a manner that ensures that the delisting does not become effective until the successor security is
removed from its exempt status.
