Appendix II: NYSE original listing standards, non-U.S. operating companies<br />

The NYSE offers two sets of standards—worldwide and domestic—under which non-U.S. companies may qualify for listing. Both standards<br />

include distribution and financial criteria. A company must qualify for both the distribution and financial criteria within that particular standard.<br />

The domestic standards are summarized at Appendix I.<br />

This chart is to be used for an initial evaluation only. The NYSE will work with each company to determine which standards are best<br />

suited to that entity.<br />

For a more complete discussion of the minimum numerical standards applicable to non-U.S. companies, see Section 103.01 of the Listed<br />

Company Manual, which can be accessed at http://nysemanual.nyse.com/lcm.<br />
