100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-7010 or by email to 
[email protected] with the phrase ``Order Cancelling Transfer 
Agent Registration'' in the subject line.

Background

    Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act provides that if the Commission 
finds that any transfer agent registered with the Commission is no 
longer in existence or has ceased to do business as a transfer agent, 
the Commission shall by order cancel that transfer agent's 
registration. On December 22, 2017, the Commission published notice of 
its intention to cancel the registration of certain transfer agents 
whom it believed were no longer in existence or had ceased doing 
business as transfer agents.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the notice, the Commission identified 38 such transfer agents 
and stated that at any time after January 31, 2018, the Commission 
intended to issue an order canceling the registrations of any or all of 
the identified transfer agents. One transfer agent contacted the 
Commission to object to the cancellation of its registration, stating 
that it had not ceased doing business as a transfer agent. The 
Commission has decided not to cancel the registration of that transfer 
agent. None of the remaining 37 identified transfer agents contacted 
the Commission to object to the cancellation of their registrations.
    Accordingly, the Commission is cancelling the registrations of the 
37 transfer agents identified in the Appendix attached to this Order.

Order

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that each of 
the transfer agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix either 
is no longer in existence or has ceased doing business as a transfer 
agent.
    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act 
that the registration as a transfer agent of each of the transfer 
agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix be and hereby is 
cancelled.

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets 
pursuant to delegated authority.\4\
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
