Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization 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 those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange is proposing a one-year pilot program that would add new NYSE Amex Equities Rule 107C to establish a Retail Liquidity Program to attract additional retail order flow to the Exchange for NYSE Amex Equities traded securities while also providing the potential for price improvement to such order flow. Under the proposed rule change, the Exchange would create two new classes of market participants: (1) Retail Member Organizations (‘‘RMOs’’), which would be eligible to submit Amex Equities, including but not limited to NYSE Amex-listed securities as well as those listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market traded pursuant to unlisted trading privileges. See Securities Exchange Act Release 34–62479, 75 Fed. Reg. 41264 (July 15, 2010). PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 certain retail order flow (‘‘Retail Orders’’) to the Exchange, and (2) Retail Liquidity Providers (‘‘RLPs’’), which would be required to provide potential price improvement for Retail Orders in the form of non-displayed interest that is better than the best protected bid or the best protected offer (‘‘PBBO’’) 4 (‘‘Retail Price Improvement Order’’ or ‘‘RPI’’). Member organizations other than RLPs would also be permitted, but not required, to submit Retail Price Improvement Orders. The Exchange will submit a separate proposal to amend its Price List in connection with the proposed Retail Liquidity Program. Under that proposal, the Exchange would charge RLPs and other member organizations a fee for executions of their Retail Price Improvement Orders against Retail Orders and in turn would provide a credit to RMOs for executions of their Retail Orders against the Retail Price Improvement Orders of RLPs and other member organizations. Definitions The Exchange proposes to adopt the following definitions under proposed NYSE Amex Equities Rule 107C(a). First, the term ‘‘Retail Liquidity Provider’’ would be defined as a member organization that is approved by the Exchange to act as such and to submit Retail Price Improvement Orders 4 The terms protected bid and protected offer would have the same meaning as defined in Regulation NMS Rule 600(b)(57). The PBB is the best-priced protected bid and the PBO is the bestpriced protected offer. Generally, the PBB and PBO and the national best bid (‘‘NBB’’) and national best offer (‘‘NBO’’) will be the same. However, a market center is not required to route to the NBB or NBO if that market center is subject to an exception under Regulation NMS Rule 611(b)(1) or if such NBB or NBO is otherwise not available for an automatic execution. In such case, the PBB or PBO would be the best-priced protected bid or offer to which a market center must route interest pursuant to Regulation NMS Rule 611. E:\FR\FM\09NON1.SGM 09NON1
