 conditions hereinafter set forth, (1) may continue unlisted trading 

 privileges to which a security had been admitted on such exchange

 tinue in effect only so long as such security shall remain listed and 

 registered on any other national securities exchange; or (3) may 

 extend unlisted trading privileges to any security in respect of which 

 there is available from a registration statement and periodic reports 

 or other data filed j^ursuant to rules or regulations prescribed by the 

 Commission under this title or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 

 information substantially equivalent to that available pursuant to 

 rules or regulations of the Commission in respect of a security duly 

 listed and registered on a national securities exchange, but such 

 unlisted trading privileges shall continue in effect only so long as 

 such a registration statement remains effective and such periodic 

 reports or other data continue to be so filed.

 unless the Commission finds that the continuation or extension of 

 unlisted trading privileges pursuant to such application is neces-

 any security pursuant to clause (2) or (3) of this subsection shall 

 be approved except after appropriate notice and opportunity for

 approved unless the applicant exchange shall establish to the satis- 

 faction of the Commission that there exists in the vicinity of such 

 exchange sufficiently widespread public distribution of such security 

 and sutRcient public trading activity therein to render the extension 

 of unlisted trading ])rivileges on such exchange thereto necessary 

 or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of 

 investors. No application to extend unli-sted trading privileges to 

 any security pursuant to clause (3) of this subsection shall be
