Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The rule and rule amendments would direct the national securities exchanges and national securities associations to establish listing standards that require each issuer to develop and implement a policy providing for the recovery, under certain circumstances, of incentive-based compensation based on financial information required to be reported under the securities laws that is received by current or former executive officers, and require the disclosure of the policy. A listed issuer would be required to file the policy as an exhibit to its annual report, and to make other disclosures in the event recovery is triggered. As a result of the amendments and the adjustment to the cost burden, for purposes of the PRA, we estimate that, for Form 10-K, the adjustment will result in an increase of $924,016,259 and the amendments will result in an increase of 5,592 burden hours and $1,117,800 for the services of outside professionals.
