2. new delivery failures resulting from long or short sales may have crossed the threshold, keeping the security on the SRO's threshold securities list; or
3. the delivery failures at NSCC may have been established prior to a security's appearance on the SRO's threshold securities list, and are grandfathered from the close-out requirement of Regulation SHO."
