Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on July 1,
2015, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC
(‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed
rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III, below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to modify the
Phlx Pricing Schedule (‘‘Pricing
Schedule’’). Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to amend pricing in Section B,
entitled ‘‘Customer Rebate Program,’’ 3
Section II, entitled ‘‘Multiply Listed
Options Fees,’’ 4 and Section III, entitled
‘‘Singly Listed Options,’’ 5 of the Pricing
Schedule. The Exchange proposes these
amendments in order to: (i) Increase the
rebates specifically for Tier 4 and Tier
5 (Category B) electronic Complex 6 and
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 The term ‘‘Customer’’ applies to any transaction
that is identified by a member or member
organization for clearing in the Customer range at
The Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) which
is not for the account of broker or dealer or for the
account of a ‘‘Professional’’ (as that term is defined
in Rule 1000(b)(14).
4 This includes options overlying equities,
exchange traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’), exchange traded
notes (‘‘ETNs’’) and indexes which are Multiply
Listed.
5 This includes options overlying foreign
exchange (‘‘FX’’), equities, ETFs, ETNs, and indexes
not listed on another exchange.
6 A Complex Order is any order involving the
simultaneous purchase and/or sale of two or more
different options series in the same underlying
security, priced at a net debit or credit based on the
relative prices of the individual components, for the
same account, for the purpose of executing a
particular investment strategy. Furthermore, a
Complex Order can also be a stock-option order,
which is an order to buy or sell a stated number
of units of an underlying stock or ETF coupled with
the purchase or sale of options contract(s). See
Exchange Rule 1080, Commentary .07(a)(i).

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the

mechanism known as Price Improvement XL or

8 A transaction resulting from an order that was
electronically delivered utilizes Phlx XL. See
Exchange Rules 1014 and 1080. Electronically
delivered orders do not include orders transacted
on the Exchange floor. A transaction resulting from
an order that is non-electronically-delivered is
represented on the trading floor by a floor broker.
See Exchange Rule 1063. All orders are either
electronically or non-electronically delivered.
9 The Penny Pilot was established in January 2007
and was last extended in 2015. See Securities
Exchange Act Release Nos. 55153 (January 23,
2007), 72 FR 4553 (January 31, 2007) (SR–Phlx–
2006–74) (notice of filing and approval order
establishing Penny Pilot); and 75286 (June 24, 2015)
(SR–Phlx–2015–54) (notice of filing and immediate
effectiveness extending the Penny Pilot through
June 30, 2016). Non-Penny Pilot Options are
options other than Penny Pilot Options listed on the
Exchange (e.g. AAPL, BAC, EEM, FB, FXI, IWM,
QQQ, TWTR, VXX and XLF), which can be found
at https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/
Micro.aspx?id=phlx.
10 The term ‘‘Professional’’ means any person or
entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities,
and (ii) places more than 390 orders in listed
options per day on average during a calendar month
for its own beneficial account(s). See Rule
1000(b)(14).
11 The term ‘‘Broker-Dealer’’ applies to any
transaction which is not subject to any of the other
transaction fees applicable within a particular
category.
12 The term ‘‘Firm’’ applies to any transaction that
is identified by a member or member organization
for clearing in the Firm range at The Options
Clearing Corporation.
