period.

ume of on-exchange transactions in the subject securities aggregated over one or two foreign jurisdictions against your

worldwide trading volume. You may include in this measure off-exchange transactions in those jurisdictions comprising

the numerator only if you include those off-exchange transactions when calculating worldwide trading volume in the de-

nominator. This denominator should be the same as the denominator used for the trading volume benchmark under Rule

12h-6(a)(4)(i) (17 CFR 240.12h-6(a)(4)(i)) and Item 4 of this Form.
