Monday, March 1, 1982

February 26, 1982

The Federal Reserve Board today published a Supplement to
its list of Over-the-Counter (OTC) stocks that are subject to its margin
regulations.

The Supplement makes the following changes, effective

immediately:
— 173 stocks have been included for the first time.
— 17 stocks previously on the List have been removed for
substantially failing to meet the requirements for continued listing.
— 54 stocks have been removed for reasons such as listing on a
national securities exchange or the companies were acquired by another
firm.
The Board previously decided to revise the OTC list three times
yearly, at approximate four-month intervals.

This will be done by

issuing one complete List and two supplements annually.
OTC Margin Stocks was issued on October 5, 1981.

The last List of

With the changes

announced today the List now includes 1509 OTC stocks.
The Board monitors the market activity of all OTC stocks to
determine which stocks meet the requirements for inclusion and continued
inclusion on the List of OTC Margin Stocks, and periodically revises the
List.
Margin regulations generally limit the amount of credit a person
or firm may obtain to buy, or carry, securities.

Stocks on the List of

OTC Margin Stocks are subject to the same margin requirements (currently
50 percent) as stockslisted on national stock exchanges. This means a
person or firm buying

a stock on

credit must make

a down payment equalto

at least 50 percent of the purchase price of the stock and may obtain
credit for the remaining 50 percent.
Margin requirements on OTC stocks apply only to credit extended
on the date the stock

becomes an

or

OTC margin stock

and thereafter.

Credit

before they appeared

on the List becomes subject on that date to the retention and withdrawal
requirements of the Board's margin Regulation U if the credit is
collateralized by any stock.

Such credit previously extended by lenders

subject to Regulation G (which governs securities credit by persons other
than banks, brokers, or dealers) becomes subject to retention and withdrawal
requirements if collateralized by "margin securities."
It is unlawful for any person to cause any representation to be
made that inclusion of a security on this List indicates that the Board or
the Securities and Exchange Commission has in any way approved such security
or any transaction therein.

Any references to the Board in connection with

the List or any securities thereon in any advertisement or similar
communication is unlawful.
Tho List is published by the Board for the information of lenders
and the ger.aral public.
