Participants to transact additional
Customer orders and encourage
participants in the Exchange’s equity
markets to also participate in the
Exchange’s options market.
The Exchange believes that the
increased Customer rebate for market
participants that add Customer liquidity
of 25,000 or more contracts per day in
a month, certify for the ISP and execute
at least one order on NASDAQ’s equity
market is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory, because the increased
rebate is intended to encourage
increased activity in both NOM and in
the ISP of the NASDAQ equity market.
The goal of the ISP is to incentivize
members 12 to provide liquidity from
individual equity investors to the
NASDAQ Market Center. The increased
rebate would encourage firms that
certify pursuant to Rule 7014 to increase
the amount of Customer order liquidity
to NOM. The addition of such liquidity,
either through the ISP or through
increased Customer order flow, would
benefit all Exchange members that
participate in those markets.
The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market comprised of nine
U.S. options exchanges in which
sophisticated and knowledgeable
market participants can and do send
order flow to competing exchanges if
they deem fee levels at a particular
exchange to be excessive or rebate
opportunities to be inadequate. The
Exchange believes that the proposed fee
and rebate scheme are competitive and
similar to other fees, rebates and tier
opportunities in place on other
exchanges. The Exchange believes that
this competitive marketplace materially
impacts the fees and rebates present on
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
12 The
Commission has expressed its concern that
a significant percentage of the orders of individual
investors are executed in the over-the-counter
(‘‘OTC’’) market, that is, not on exchange markets;
and that a significant percentage of the orders of
institutional investors are executed in dark pools.
See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61358
(January 14, 2010), 75 FR 3594 (January 21, 2010)
(Concept Release on Equity Market Structure,
‘‘Concept Release’’). In the Concept Release, the
Commission has recognized the strong policy
preference under the Act in favor of price
transparency and displayed markets. The
Commission published the Concept Release to
invite public comment on a wide range of market
structure issues, including high frequency trading
and un-displayed, or ‘‘dark,’’ liquidity. See also
Mary L. Schapiro, Strengthening Our Equity Market
Structure (Speech at the Economic Club of New
York, Sept. 7, 2010) (‘‘Schapiro Speech,’’ available
on the Commission Web site) (comments of
Commission Chairman on what she viewed as a
troubling trend of reduced participation in the
equity markets by individual investors, and that
nearly 30 percent of volume in U.S.-listed equities
is executed in venues that do not display their
liquidity or make it generally available to the
public).

application will determine the
