Marginable Over-The-Counter Stocks and Foreign Margin Stocks, Notice F e d e r a l R e s e r v e B a n k o f D a l l a s ROBERT D. McTEER, JR. PRESIDENT DALLAS, TEXAS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 75265-5906 March 9, 1998 Notice 98-18 TO: The Chief Executive Officer of each financial institution and others concerned in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District SUBJECT Marginable Over-the-Counter Stocks and Foreign Margin Stocks DETAILS The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has published a revised list of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks that are subject to its margin regulations. Also published is a list of foreign margin equity securities that meet the margin criteria in Regulation T. The lists became effective February 9, 1998, and supersede the previous published lists effective Novem­ ber 10, 1997. Pursuant to amendments recently adopted by the Board, lenders subject to Regulation G will become subject to a revised Regulation U on April 1, 1998, and Regulation G will be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations. Also on April 1, 1998, Regulation U will be revised so that lenders other than brokers and dealers will no longer be required to apply the Board’s margin requirements to all OTC stocks on the OTC list. Instead, lenders subject to the revised Regulation U will be required to apply the Board’s margin requirements only to those OTC stocks that qualify as National Market System securities. Lenders subject to Regulation T and borrowers subject to Regulation X that 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 in May 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. For additional copies, bankers and others are encouraged to use one of the following toll-free numbers in contacting the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas: Dallas Office (800) 333-4460; El Paso Branch Intrastate (800) 592-1631, Interstate (800) 351-1012; Houston Branch Intrastate (800) 392-4162, Interstate (800) 221-0363; San Antonio Branch Intrastate (800) 292-5810.

    Business Development of the Osaka Gas Group [Domestic Energy Businesses] [Overseas Energy Businesses along the Energy Value Chain] [Environment and Non-energy Businesses] Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. 23 Domestic Energy Businesses [ Gas Business ] Characteristics of the Japanese Gas Industry ■ Although more than 200 gas companies exist in Japan, the majority of domestic gas sales volume comprises the gas sales volumes of a few major gas suppliers. ■ The industry’s supply of LNG, the primary source of natural gas, is almost completely dependent upon imports. ■ In contrast to many other countries, Japan does not have any international gas pipelines or gas pipe- lines interlinked nationally. ■ The natural gas business is operated in an integrated manner, from import to transmission, storage, distribution and sales. Special Qualities of Natural Gas Compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas has a much smaller impact on the environment. In addition, natural gas is more abundant than oil and, unlike oil, natural gas reserves are not concentrated in specific geographical locations. In particular, because of its environmental advantages, demand for natural gas as a more environmentally friendly energy resource is expected to increase in the future, reflecting increasing public concerns and awareness about the environment.

  • Annual Report 2012 3
    Sime Darby Berhad l Annual Report 2012 3 Cover Rationale The world was a different place in 1910 when the pioneering spirit of an Englishman and two Scotsmen led to the founding of Sime Darby. In Malacca, they planted the seeds of what is today a diversified multinational with operations in more than 20 countries, employing more than 100,000 people. Over the years, we have reaped the benefits the good times have brought and we have persevered through the tough ones. We have emerged stronger across our core businesses, seizing opportunities as they come our way.
