Self-Regulatory Organizations: Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of a Proposed Rule Change by Miami

To Continue Its Priority Customer

Pursuant to the provisions of Section

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that
on December 30, 2013, Miami

Program. The text of the proposed rule
change is available on the Exchange’s
Web site at https://
www.miaxoptions.com/filter/wotitle/

and at the Commission’s Public
Reference Room.
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
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects 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 proposes to continue
its Priority Customer Rebate Program
(the ‘‘Program’’) on an ongoing basis
beyond the current expiration date of
December 31, 2013. The Program
currently applies to the period
beginning December 1, 2013 and ending
December 31, 2013.3 The Program is
based on the substantially similar fees of
another competing options exchange.4
Under the Program, the Exchange shall
credit each Member the per contract
amount set forth in the table below
resulting from each Priority Customer 5
order transmitted by that Member which
is executed on the Exchange in all
multiply-listed option classes
(excluding mini-options and executions
related to contracts that are routed to
one or more exchanges in connection
with the Options Order Protection and
Locked/Crossed Market Plan referenced
in Rule 1400), provided the Member
meets certain volume thresholds in a
month as described below. The volume
thresholds are calculated based on the
customer average daily volume over the
course of the month. Volume will be
recorded for and credits will be
delivered to the Member Firm that
submits the order to the Exchange.
Percentage thresholds of national customer volume in multiply-listed options classes listed on MIAX (monthly)
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
0.00%–0.25% .......................................................................................................................................................................
Above 0.25%–0.35% ...........................................................................................................................................................
Above 0.35%–0.75% ...........................................................................................................................................................
Above 0.75%–1.50% ...........................................................................................................................................................
Above 1.50% .......................................................................................................................................................................
The Exchange will aggregate the
contracts resulting from Priority
Customer orders transmitted and
executed electronically on the Exchange
from affiliated Members for purposes of
the thresholds above, provided there is
at least 75% common ownership
between the firms as reflected on each
firm’s Form BD, Schedule A. In the
event of a MIAX System outage or other
interruption of electronic trading on
MIAX, the Exchange will adjust the
national customer volume in multiplylisted options for the duration of the
outage. A Member may request to

U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

receive its credit under the Priority
Customer Rebate Program as a separate
direct payment.
In addition, the rebate payments will
be calculated from the first executed
contract at the applicable threshold per
contract credit with the rebate payments
made at the highest achieved volume
tier for each contract traded in that
month. For example, if Member Firm
XYZ, Inc. (‘‘XYZ’’) has enough Priority
Customer contracts to achieve 2.5% of
the national customer volume in
multiply-listed option contracts during
the month of October, XYZ will receive
a credit of $0.18 for each Priority
Customer contract executed in the
month of October.
The purpose of the Program is to
encourage Members to direct greater
Priority Customer trade volume to the
Exchange. Increased Priority Customer
volume will provide for greater
liquidity, which benefits all market
participants. The practice of
incentivizing increased retail customer
order flow in order to attract
professional liquidity providers
(Market-Makers) is, and has been,
commonly practiced in the options
4 See Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’) Fees Schedule, p. 4. See
also Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 66054
(December 23, 2011), 76 FR 82332 (December 30,
2011) (SR–CBOE–2011–120); 68887 (February 8,
2013), 78 FR 10647 (February 14, 2013) (SR–CBOE–
2013–017).
5 The term ‘‘Priority Customer’’ means a person
or entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in
securities, and (ii) does not place more than 390
orders in listed options per day on average during
a calendar month for its own beneficial accounts(s).
