SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Meeting

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the staff of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission will hold a decimalization 
roundtable discussion on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, in the Auditorium, 
Room L-002. The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will be open to 
the public. Seating will be on a first-come, first served basis. Doors 
will be open at 9:30 a.m. Visitors will be subject to security checks. 
The roundtable will be webcast on the Commission's Web site at 
www.sec.gov and will be archived for later viewing.
    On December 28, 2012, the Commission published notice of the 
roundtable discussion (Release No. 34-68510), indicating that the event 
is open to the public and inviting the public to submit written 
comments to the Commission staff. This Sunshine Act notice is being 
issued because a majority of the Commission may attend the roundtable 
discussion.
    The agenda for the roundtable includes opening remarks followed by 
three panel discussions. The participants in the first panel will 
address the impact of tick sizes on small and middle capitalization 
companies, the economic consequences (including the costs and benefits) 
of increasing or decreasing minimum tick sizes, and whether other 
policy alternatives might better address the concerns animating Section 
106(b) of the JOBS Act. The participants in the second panel will 
address the impact of tick sizes on the securities market in general, 
including what benefits may have been achieved, and what, if any, 
negative effects have resulted. The participants in the third panel 
will address potential methods for analysis of the issues, including 
whether and how to conduct a pilot for alternative minimum tick sizes.
