Therefore, the Exchange believes that providing rebates is equitable and reasonable and not unfairly discriminatory as it would allow the Exchange, in the context of the new give up procedure described above, to provide a rebate directly to the party making the routing decision to direct Customer orders to the Exchange (i.e., the Routing Firm), which is consistent with both the Exchange’s historic practice and the purpose behind a rebate (i.e., to incentivize the order being directed to the Exchange). B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange believes its proposed amendments to its fee schedule would not impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed change represents a significant departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or its competitors. Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor the Exchange’s pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them better value. The Exchange believes that its proposal to incentivize Routing Firms that are utilizing the new give up procedure to direct Customer orders to the Exchange, and will enhance the Exchange’s competitive position by resulting in increased liquidity on the Exchange, thereby providing more of an opportunity for customers to receive best executions. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES C.
