List of Marginable OTC Stocks
and

List of Foreign Margin Stocks
as of
May 11, 1998
The List of Marginable OTC Stocks is composed of stocks traded in the United States
over-the-counter (OTC) that have been determined by the Board to be OTC margin stocks
subject to margin requirements as of May 11, 1998, pursuant to Section 220.11 of
Regulation T, Credit by Brokers and Dealers. It also includes all OTC stocks designated as
National Market System (NMS) securities. Additional NMS securities may be added in the
interim between Board quarterly publications; these securities are immediately marginable
upon designation as NMS securities. The names of these securities are available at the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and at the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This List supersedes the previous List of Marginable OTC Stocks published
effective February 9, 1998.
Lenders subject to Regulation T and borrowers subject to Regulation X who are required
under Section 224.3(a) to conform credit they obtain to Regulation T must continue to use
the OTC List until publication of the next OTC List, anticipated for August 1998. An
amendment to Regulation T that will make all stocks trading in the Nasdaq Stock Market
marginable at brokers and dealers will be effective January 1, 1999. The Board will cease
publication of the OTC List at that time.
The List of Foreign Margin Stocks is composed of foreign equity securities that have met
the Board's eligibility criteria, pursuant to Regulation T, Section 220.11. These foreign
equity securities are eligible for margin treatment at broker-dealers on the same basis as
domestic margin securities. This list supersedes the previous List of Foreign Margin Stocks
published effective February 9, 1998.
CAUTION: It is unlawful for any person to cause any representation to be made that
inclusion of a security on the List of Marginable OTC Stocks or the List of Foreign Margin
Stocks indicates that the Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission has in any way
approved such security or transaction therein. Also, any reference to the Board in
connection with these Lists or any securities thereon in an advertisement or similar
communication is unlawful.
Any inquiry relating to these Lists or to Regulations T or X should be addressed to the
nearest Federal Reserve Bank.
