Item 1.  Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the common stock of Chyron Corporation, A New York corporation (the "Company"). This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as amended, and by the applicable provisions of New York State law.

Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board of Directors of the company (the "Board"), in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since November 1989, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Although the Company intends to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the growth of its business, the Board will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, indebtedness and other factors, which the Board may deem relevant.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional shares of the registrant's common stock are issued, the relative interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.

Item 2.  Exhibits.

Under the Instructions as to Exhibits with respect to Form 8-A, no exhibits are required to be filed because no other securities of the Registrant are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the securities registered hereby are not being registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
