Summary of the Application
1. The Trust is registered as an openend management investment company
under the Act and is a statutory trust
organized under the laws of Delaware.
Applicants seek relief with respect to
Reinhart Intermediate Bond NextShares
(the ‘‘Initial Fund’’). The portfolio
positions of each Fund (as defined

other assets selected and managed by its
Adviser or Subadviser (as defined

objective.
2. The Adviser, a Wisconsin

(as defined below) will serve as
investment adviser to each Fund. The
Adviser is, and any other Adviser will
be, registered as an investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of

17(a)(2) of the Act, and under section
12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for an exemption
from sections 12(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the
Act. The requested Order would permit

Reference Order and because the
Adviser has entered into, or anticipates
entering into, a licensing agreement
with Eaton Vance Management, or an
affiliate thereof in order to offer
exchange-traded managed funds,2 the

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE
American LLC; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Annual Listing
Fees for Common Stocks and
Warrants
November 1, 2017.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on October
25, 2017, NYSE American LLC (‘‘NYSE
American’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange.
The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested
persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend
annual listing fees for common stocks
and warrants. The proposed change is
available on the Exchange’s Web site at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, 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
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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Section 141 of the NYSE American
Company Guide to amend certain of its
listing fee provisions. The amended fees
will take effect in the 2018 calendar
year. The following are the proposed fee
increases:
• The annual fee for a common stock
with 50 million shares or less
outstanding would increase from
$35,000 to $40,000.
• The annual fee for a common stock
with more than 50 million and up to 75
million shares outstanding would
increase from $45,000 to $50,000.
• The annual fee for a common stock
with more than 75 million shares
outstanding would increase from
$50,000 to $60,000.
• The flat annual fee applicable to
warrants would increase from $5,000 to
$10,000.
As described below, the Exchange
proposes to make the aforementioned
fee increases to better reflect the
Exchange’s costs related to listing equity
securities and the corresponding value
of such listing to issuers.
The Exchange also proposes to
remove a number of references in
Section 141 to fees that are no longer
applicable as they were superseded by
new fee rates specified in the rule text.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act,3 in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(4) 4 of the Act, in particular, in that
it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees, and other charges. The Exchange
also believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,5 in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the

Summary of the Application
1. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Act and is a statutory trust organized under the laws
of Delaware. Applicants seek relief with respect to Reinhart
Intermediate Bond NextShares (the ``Initial Fund''). The portfolio
positions of each Fund (as defined below) will consist of securities
and other assets selected and managed by its Adviser or Subadviser (as
defined below) to pursue the Fund's investment objective.
2. The Adviser, a Wisconsin corporation, will be the investment
adviser to the Initial Fund. An Adviser (as defined below) will serve
as investment adviser to each Fund. The Adviser is, and any other
Adviser will be, registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act''). The Adviser may
retain one or more subadvisers (each a ``Subadviser'') to manage the
portfolios of the Funds. Any Subadviser will be registered, or not
subject to registration, under the Advisers Act.
3. The Distributor is a Delaware limited liability company and a
broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and

Act, and under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for an exemption from
sections 12(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the Act. The requested Order would
permit applicants to offer exchange-traded managed funds. Because the
relief requested is the same as the relief granted by the Commission
under the Reference Order and because the Adviser has entered into, or
anticipates entering into, a licensing agreement with Eaton Vance
Management, or an affiliate thereof in order to offer exchange-traded
managed funds,\2\ the Order would incorporate by reference
[[Page 51661]]
the terms and conditions of the Reference Order.

\2\ Eaton Vance Management has obtained patents with respect to
certain aspects of the Funds' method of operation as exchange-traded

Reference Order, which is incorporated by reference herein (each such
company or series and Initial Fund, a ``Fund'').\3\

any person, security or transaction, or any class of persons,
securities or transactions, from any provisions of the Act, if and to
the extent that such exemption is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and the
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act.
Section 17(b) of the Act authorizes the Commission to exempt a proposed
transaction from section 17(a) of the Act if evidence establishes that
the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid or
received, are reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on
the part of any person concerned, and the proposed transaction is
consistent with the policies of the registered investment company and
the general purposes of the Act. Section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act
provides that the Commission may exempt any person, security, or
transaction, or any class or classes of persons, securities or
transactions, from any provision of section 12(d)(1) if the exemption
is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
7. Applicants submit that for the reasons stated in the Reference
Order: (1) With respect to the relief requested pursuant to section
6(c) of the Act, the relief is appropriate, in the public interest and
consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly
