1 On September 16, 2008, the NYSE halted trading for Idearc Inc. (NYSE ticker “IAR”) and is now routing orders to Arca because the price of IAR fell below $1.05, triggering a technical halt due to a “sub-penny trading” condition. IAR will not be quoted on the NYSE until it trades for an entire day at or above $1.10. Effective September 16, 2008, the Amex utilizes Arca pricing for IAR for all index calculations.
