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 - 2- 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 extended by banks to purchase or OTC margin stock and thereafter. Credit carry OTC stocks 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.
