Background 6
In October 2008, the New York Stock
Exchange LLC (‘‘NYSE’’) implemented
significant changes to its market rules,
execution technology and the rights and
obligations of its market participants all
of which were designed to improve
execution quality on the NYSE. These
changes were all elements of the NYSE’s
and the Exchange’s enhanced market
model referred to as the ‘‘New Market
Model’’ (‘‘NMM Pilot’’).7 The NYSE SLP
Pilot was launched in coordination with
the NMM Pilot (see NYSE Rule 107B).
As part of the NMM Pilot, NYSE
eliminated the function of specialists on
the Exchange creating a new category of
market participant, the Designated
Market Maker or ‘‘DMM.’’ 8 Separately,
the NYSE established the SLP Pilot,
which established SLPs as a new class
of market participants to supplement
the liquidity provided by DMMs.9
The NYSE adopted NYSE Rule 107B
governing SLPs as a six-month pilot
program commencing in November
2008. This NYSE pilot has been
extended several times, most recently to
January 31, 2013.10 The NYSE is in the
