On December 2, 2008, the NYSE announced that in accord with the November 2008 SEC decision to have uniform symbology across exchanges, the NYSE would offer firms the ability to test four and five-character symbols at the NYSE (see the December 2, 2008 Trader Update). Effective Monday May 4, 2009, four symbols will trade on the NYSE as 4-character root symbols. Participants should ensure that their systems are prepared to handle these symbols.
