| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | The tool lists the time the company became aware, whether that time is between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, whether the window is 7:00 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. or 9:25 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Regulation FD method, and how the Exchange can locate the announcement. It does not write the halt request or the announcement. |
| What the lawyer must review | The NYSE 2026 Annual Guidance Letter and Regulation FD, 17 CFR § 243.100. The letter is dated 27 January 2026. It says a listed company calls the Exchange's Market Watch group at 212-656-5414 or 877-699-2578 when it intends to release material news between 7:00 a.m. ET and 4:00 p.m. ET. The call is 10 minutes before dissemination of news of a material nature, including any dividend or stock distribution, or promptly upon becoming aware of a material event beyond the company's control, and the company also takes steps to release the news promptly. The caller must be knowledgeable about the details. The company provides a copy of the announcement, the Regulation FD-compliant method, and how the Exchange can locate the news, through Listing Manager or nysealert@nyse.com. Between 7:00 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. ET, the letter says the Exchange will implement a news-pending trading halt only at the request of the company. Between 9:25 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, the letter says it is the Exchange's practice to institute a trading halt pending dissemination if it believes the news is material and the company has not yet disclosed it in compliance with the Timely Alert policy. Outside 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, the letter says companies are generally not required to call in advance, and they still provide a copy once the news is disclosed. Notice of a dividend or stock distribution is still required at least 10 minutes before any public announcement, including outside trading hours. The letter says listed companies are prohibited from publishing material news after the official closing time until the earlier of 4:05 p.m. ET or publication of the official closing price, citing Section 202.06. Regulation FD § 243.100(a) requires public disclosure, as provided in § 243.101(e), simultaneously in the case of an intentional disclosure and promptly in the case of a non-intentional disclosure, when material nonpublic information is disclosed to a person described in paragraph (b)(1). The lawyer writes the halt request and any public announcement. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: The tool lists the time the company became aware, whether that time is between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, whether the window is 7:00 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. or 9:25 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Regulation FD method, and how the Exchange can locate the announcement. It does not write the halt request or the announcement.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The Listed Company Manual sections cited in the letter were not opened separately. The timing and halt practice above are taken from the letter.
- Section 243.101, including the definitions of public disclosure and promptly, was not opened. The lawyer applies those definitions.
- The lawyer writes the halt request and the announcement. The tool writes none of that text. A listing on another exchange was not covered by the letter that was opened.
