proposed rebate. Thus, to qualify a
transaction for the rebate process, a
written rebate request, along with
supporting documentation, must be
submitted to the Exchange.10
The purpose of capping the ROT and
specialist transaction and comparison
fees for merger spread and dividend
spread transactions at $1,750 is to
attract additional liquidity to the
Exchange.11 The purpose of deleting the
reference to the fixed monthly fee is to
update the Exchange’s fee schedule to
eliminate a reference to a fee that is no
longer in effect.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal to amend its schedule of fees
is consistent with section 6(b) of the
Act,12 in general, and furthers the
objectives of section 6(b)(4) of the Act,13
in particular, in that it is an equitable
allocation of reasonable fees among
Exchange members.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change, as amended,
will impose any inappropriate burden
on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change,
as amended, has become effective
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the
Act 14 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 15
thereunder, because it changes a fee
imposed by the Exchange. At any time
within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, as amended, the
10 Specifically, within 30 calendar days of the
billing period (i.e., within thirty days from the issue
date of the invoice) for these transactions, a written
request, along with the appropriate documentation,
must be completed and submitted to the Exchange.
After the appropriate verification and subsequent
acceptance, the Exchange would credit the
appropriate member’s account for the amount of the
rebate (i.e., either $0.08 or $0.07 per contract side)
on contracts executed in trades occurring as part of
a merger-acquisition strategy.
11 Similar to the rebate process described above,
members who wish to benefit from the proposed fee
cap will be required to submit to the Exchange a
written rebate request with supporting
documentation.
