“As Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, William Donaldson has been a champion of investors and has successfully led the drive to restore confidence in U.S. financial markets and corporate America. Amid great challenge and change, he successfully applied his experience, vision and commitment to integrity and innovation to produce landmark reforms in governance and ethics, strengthen the structure and competitive position of American’s markets, and greatly increase the SEC’s ability to effectively address the needs of the investing public.
“On behalf of all my colleagues at New York Stock Exchange, I would like to thank Chairman Donaldson for his thoughtful and decisive leadership and for helping to ensure that America’s financial marketplace will remain the envy of the world in the years ahead.
“On a personal note, I want to publicly thank the Chairman for the support and counsel he has given me as the CEO of the NYSE. He will be missed. My colleagues and I wish him well as he transitions back to the private sector.”
