V. Price Bands (A) Calculation and Dissemination of Price Bands (1) The Processor for each NMS stock shall calculate and disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band during Regular Trading Hours for such NMS Stock. The Price Bands shall be based on a Reference Price for each NMS Stock that equals the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (except for periods following openings and reopenings, which are addressed below). If no Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock have occurred over the immediately preceding five-minute period, the previous Reference Price shall remain in effect. The Price Bands for an NMS Stock shall be calculated by applying the Percentage Parameter for such NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower Price Band being a Percentage Parameter below the Reference Price, and the Upper Price Band being a Percentage Parameter above the Reference Price. The Price Bands shall be calculated during Regular Trading Hours. Between 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET, and 3:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, or in the case of an early scheduled close, during the last 25 minutes of trading before the early scheduled close, the E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM 21MRN1 12418 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2018 / Notices sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Price Bands shall be calculated by applying double the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A. If the Processor has not yet disseminated Price Bands, but a Reference Price is available, a trading center may calculate and apply Price Bands based on the same Reference Price that the Processor would use for calculating such Price Bands until such trading center receives Price Bands from the Processor. If, under Section VII(B)(2), the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue and it has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the Processor will calculate and disseminate Price Bands by applying triple the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A for the first 30 seconds such Price Bands are disseminated. (2) The Processor shall calculate a Pro-Forma Reference Price on a continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours, as specified in Section V(A)(1) of the Plan. If a Pro-Forma Reference Price has not moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, no new Price Bands shall be disseminated, and the current Reference Price shall remain the effective Reference Price. When the Pro-Forma Reference Price has moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price shall become the Reference Price, and the Processor shall disseminate new Price Bands based on the new Reference Price; provided, however, that each new Reference Price shall remain in effect for at least 30 seconds. (B) Openings (1) Except when a Regulatory Halt is in effect at the start of Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS Stock if such Opening Price occurs less than five minutes after the start of Regular Trading Hours. During the period less than five minutes after the Opening Price, a Pro-Forma Reference Price shall be updated on a continuous basis to be the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock during the period following the Opening Price (including the Opening Price), and if it differs from the current Reference Price by 1% or more shall become the new Reference Price, except that a new Reference Price shall remain in effect for at least 30 seconds. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (2) If the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:34 Mar 20, 2018 Jkt 244001 Stock does not occur within five minutes after the start of Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (C) Reopenings (1) Following a Trading Pause in an NMS Stock, and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a transaction or quotation that does not include a zero bid or zero offer, the next Reference Price shall be the Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue, or if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a quotation that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both, the next Reference Price shall be the last effective Price Band that was in a Limit State before the Trading Pause. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan. (2) Following a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference Price shall be the Opening or Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if such Opening or Reopening Price occurs within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Opening or Reopening Price has not occurred within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, the Reference Price shall be equal to the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.

Limit Up–Limit Down Requirements (A) Limitations on Trades and Quotations Outside of Price Bands (1) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices that PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 are below the Lower Price Band or above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. Single-priced opening, reopening, and closing transactions on the Primary Listing Exchange, however, shall be excluded from this limitation. In addition, any transaction that both (i) does not update the last sale price (except if solely because the transaction was reported late or because the transaction was an odd-lot sized transaction), and (ii) is excepted or exempt from Rule 611 under Regulation NMS shall be excluded from this limitation. (2) When a National Best Bid is below the Lower Price Band or a National Best Offer is above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor shall disseminate such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable. When a National Best Offer is equal to the Lower Price Band or a National Best Bid is equal to the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor shall distribute such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as a ‘‘Limit State Quotation’’. (3) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to prevent the display of offers below the Lower Price Band and bids above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. The Processor shall disseminate an offer below the Lower Price Band or bid above the Upper Price Band that may be submitted despite such reasonable policies and procedures, but with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable; provided, however, that any such bid or offer shall not be included in National Best Bid or National Best Offer calculations. (B) Entering and Exiting a Limit State (1) All trading for an NMS Stock shall immediately enter a Limit State if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Price Band and does not cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the Upper Price Band and does not cross the National Best Offer. (2) When trading for an NMS Stock enters a Limit State, the Processor shall disseminate this information by identifying the relevant quotation (i.e., a National Best Offer that equals the Lower Price Band or a National Best Bid that equals the Upper Price Band) as a Limit State Quotation. At this point, the Processor shall cease calculating and disseminating updated Reference Prices and Price Bands for the NMS Stock until E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM 21MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2018 / Notices either trading exits the Limit State or trading resumes with an opening or reopening as provided in Section V.

(4) If trading for an NMS Stock exits a Limit State within 15 seconds of entry, the Processor shall immediately calculate and disseminate updated Price Bands based on a Reference Price that equals the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (including the period of the Limit State). (5) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 15 seconds of entry, the Limit State will terminate when the Primary Listing Exchange declares a Trading Pause pursuant to Section VII of the Plan or at the end of Regular Trading Hours. VII.

(B) Reopening of Trading During Regular Trading Hours (1) Five minutes after declaring a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock, and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the Primary Listing Exchange shall attempt to reopen trading using its established reopening procedures. The Processor will publish the following information that the Primary Listing Exchange provides to the Processor in connection with such reopening: Auction reference price; auction collars; and number of extensions to the reopening auction. The Trading Pause shall end when the Primary Listing Exchange reports a Reopening Price. (2) The Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor if it is unable to reopen trading in an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue and if it has not declared a Regulatory Halt. The Processor shall disseminate this information to the public. (3) Trading centers may not resume trading in an NMS Stock following a Trading Pause without Price Bands in such NMS Stock. (4) The Processor shall update the Price Bands as set forth in Section V(C)(1)–(2) of the Plan after receiving notification from the Primary Listing Exchange of a Reopening Price following a Trading Pause (or a resume message in the case of a reopening quote that has a zero bid or zero offer, or both) or that it is unable to reopen trading following a Trading Pause due to a systems or technology issue, provided that if the Primary Listing Exchange is unable to reopen due to a systems or technology issue, the update to the Price Bands will be no earlier than ten PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12419 minutes after the beginning of the Trading Pause. (C) Trading Pauses Within Ten Minutes of the End of Regular Trading Hours (1) If an NMS Stock is in a Trading Pause during the last ten minutes of trading before the end of Regular Trading Hours, the Primary Listing Exchange shall not reopen trading and shall attempt to execute a closing transaction using its established closing procedures.

(2) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not execute a closing transaction within five minutes after the end of Regular Trading Hours, all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock. VIII.

Withdrawal From Plan If a Participant obtains SEC approval to withdraw from the Plan, such Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to each of the other Participants. At such time, the withdrawing Participant shall have no further rights or obligations under the Plan. X.

or Participation in, Plan

    Not applicable

national securities exchange or national securities association under 
the Exchange Act may become a Participant by: (1) Becoming a

I(F) of the Plan; (2) executing a copy of the Plan, as then in effect; 
(3) providing each then-current Participant with a copy of such 
executed Plan; and (4) effecting an amendment to the Plan as specified 
in Section III(B) of the Plan.

Charges

    Not applicable.

    Not applicable.

K. Dispute Resolution

Committee to act as the Chair of the Operating Committee. Any 
recommendation for an amendment to the Plan from the Operating 
Committee that receives an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of 
the Participants, but is less than unanimous, shall be submitted to the 
Commission as a request for an amendment to the Plan initiated by the 
Commission under Rule 608.

Preamble

    The Participants submit to the SEC this Plan establishing 
procedures to address extraordinary volatility in NMS Stocks. The 
procedures provide for market-wide limit up-limit down requirements 
that prevent trades in individual NMS Stocks from occurring outside of 
the specified Price Bands. These limit up-limit down requirements are 
coupled with Trading Pauses to accommodate more fundamental price 
moves. The Plan procedures are designed, among other things, to protect 
investors and promote fair and orderly markets. The Participants 
developed this Plan pursuant to Rule 608(a)(3) of Regulation NMS under 
the Exchange Act, which authorizes the Participants to act jointly in 
preparing, filing, and implementing national market system plans.

are reasonably designed to comply with the limit up--limit down 
requirements specified in Sections VI of the Plan, and to comply with 
the Trading Pauses specified in Section VII of the Plan.

V. Price Bands

    (A) Calculation and Dissemination of Price Bands
    (1) The Processor for each NMS stock shall calculate and 
disseminate to the public a Lower Price Band and an Upper Price Band 
during Regular Trading Hours for such NMS Stock. The Price Bands shall 
be based on a Reference Price for each NMS Stock that equals the 
arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (except for 
periods following openings and reopenings, which are addressed below). 
If no Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock have occurred 
over the immediately preceding five-minute period, the previous 
Reference Price shall remain in effect. The Price Bands for an NMS 
Stock shall be calculated by applying the Percentage Parameter for such 
NMS Stock to the Reference Price, with the Lower Price Band being a 
Percentage Parameter below the Reference Price, and the Upper Price 
Band being a Percentage Parameter above the Reference Price. The Price 
Bands shall be calculated during Regular Trading Hours. Between 9:30 
a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET, and 3:35 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, or in the case 
of an early scheduled close, during the last 25 minutes of trading 
before the early scheduled close, the

[[Page 12418]]

Price Bands shall be calculated by applying double the Percentage 
Parameters set forth in Appendix A. If the Processor has not yet 
disseminated Price Bands, but a Reference Price is available, a trading 
center may calculate and apply Price Bands based on the same Reference 
Price that the Processor would use for calculating such Price Bands 
until such trading center receives Price Bands from the Processor. If, 
under Section VII(B)(2), the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the 
Processor that it is unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or 
technology issue and it has not declared a Regulatory Halt, the 
Processor will calculate and disseminate Price Bands by applying triple 
the Percentage Parameters set forth in Appendix A for the first 30 
seconds such Price Bands are disseminated.
    (2) The Processor shall calculate a Pro-Forma Reference Price on a 
continuous basis during Regular Trading Hours, as specified in Section 
V(A)(1) of the Plan. If a Pro-Forma Reference Price has not moved by 1% 
or more from the Reference Price currently in effect, no new Price 
Bands shall be disseminated, and the current Reference Price shall 
remain the effective Reference Price. When the Pro-Forma Reference 
Price has moved by 1% or more from the Reference Price currently in 
effect, the Pro-Forma Reference Price shall become the Reference Price, 
and the Processor shall disseminate new Price Bands based on the new 
Reference Price; provided, however, that each new Reference Price shall 
remain in effect for at least 30 seconds.

(B) Openings

    (1) Except when a Regulatory Halt is in effect at the start of 
Regular Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day 
shall be the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS 
Stock if such Opening Price occurs less than five minutes after the 
start of Regular Trading Hours. During the period less than five 
minutes after the Opening Price, a Pro-Forma Reference Price shall be 
updated on a continuous basis to be the arithmetic mean price of 
Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock during the period 
following the Opening Price (including the Opening Price), and if it 
differs from the current Reference Price by 1% or more shall become the 
new Reference Price, except that a new Reference Price shall remain in 
effect for at least 30 seconds. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) If the Opening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange in an NMS 
Stock does not occur within five minutes after the start of Regular 
Trading Hours, the first Reference Price for a trading day shall be the 
arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
Stock over the preceding five minute time period, and subsequent 
Reference Prices shall be calculated as specified in Section V(A) of 
the Plan.

(C) Reopenings

    (1) Following a Trading Pause in an NMS Stock, and if the Primary 
Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, if the Primary 
Listing Exchange reopens trading with a transaction or quotation that 
does not include a zero bid or zero offer, the next Reference Price 
shall be the Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange. 
Subsequent Reference Prices shall be determined in the manner 
prescribed for normal openings, as specified in Section V(B)(1) of the 
Plan. If the Primary Listing Exchange notifies the Processor that it is 
unable to reopen an NMS Stock due to a systems or technology issue, or 
if the Primary Listing Exchange reopens trading with a quotation that 
has a zero bid or zero offer, or both, the next Reference Price shall 
be the last effective Price Band that was in a Limit State before the 
Trading Pause. Subsequent Reference Prices shall be calculated as 
specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.
    (2) Following a Regulatory Halt, the next Reference Price shall be 
the Opening or Reopening Price on the Primary Listing Exchange if such 
Opening or Reopening Price occurs within five minutes after the end of 
the Regulatory Halt, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
determined in the manner prescribed for normal openings, as specified 
in Section V(B)(1) of the Plan. If such Opening or Reopening Price has 
not occurred within five minutes after the end of the Regulatory Halt, 
the Reference Price shall be equal to the arithmetic mean price of 
Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS Stock over the preceding 
five minute time period, and subsequent Reference Prices shall be 
calculated as specified in Section V(A) of the Plan.

VI. Limit Up-Limit Down Requirements

(A) Limitations on Trades and Quotations Outside of Price Bands

    (1) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, 
shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures 
that are reasonably designed to prevent trades at prices that are below 
the Lower Price Band or above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. 
Single-priced opening, reopening, and closing transactions on the 
Primary Listing Exchange, however, shall be excluded from this 
limitation. In addition, any transaction that both (i) does not update 
the last sale price (except if solely because the transaction was 
reported late or because the transaction was an odd-lot sized 
transaction), and (ii) is excepted or exempt from Rule 611 under 
Regulation NMS shall be excluded from this limitation.
    (2) When a National Best Bid is below the Lower Price Band or a 
National Best Offer is above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the 
Processor shall disseminate such National Best Bid or National Best 
Offer with an appropriate flag identifying it as non-executable. When a 
National Best Offer is equal to the Lower Price Band or a National Best 
Bid is equal to the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock, the Processor 
shall distribute such National Best Bid or National Best Offer with an 
appropriate flag identifying it as a ``Limit State Quotation''.
    (3) All trading centers in NMS Stocks, including both those 
operated by Participants and those operated by members of Participants, 
shall establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures 
that are reasonably designed to prevent the display of offers below the 
Lower Price Band and bids above the Upper Price Band for an NMS Stock. 
The Processor shall disseminate an offer below the Lower Price Band or 
bid above the Upper Price Band that may be submitted despite such 
reasonable policies and procedures, but with an appropriate flag 
identifying it as non-executable; provided, however, that any such bid 
or offer shall not be included in National Best Bid or National Best 
Offer calculations.

(B) Entering and Exiting a Limit State

    (1) All trading for an NMS Stock shall immediately enter a Limit 
State if the National Best Offer equals the Lower Price Band and does 
not cross the National Best Bid, or the National Best Bid equals the 
Upper Price Band and does not cross the National Best Offer.
    (2) When trading for an NMS Stock enters a Limit State, the 
Processor shall disseminate this information by identifying the 
relevant quotation (i.e., a National Best Offer that equals the Lower 
Price Band or a National Best Bid that equals the Upper Price Band) as 
a Limit State Quotation. At this point, the Processor shall cease 
calculating and disseminating updated Reference Prices and Price Bands 
for the NMS Stock until

[[Page 12419]]

either trading exits the Limit State or trading resumes with an opening 
or re-opening as provided in Section V.
    (3) Trading for an NMS Stock shall exit a Limit State if, within 15 
seconds of entering the Limit State, the entire size of all Limit State 
Quotations are executed or cancelled.
    (4) If trading for an NMS Stock exits a Limit State within 15 
seconds of entry, the Processor shall immediately calculate and 
disseminate updated Price Bands based on a Reference Price that equals 
the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions for the NMS 
Stock over the immediately preceding five-minute period (including the 
period of the Limit State).
    (5) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 
15 seconds of entry, the Limit State will terminate when the Primary 
Listing Exchange declares a Trading Pause pursuant to Section VII of 
the Plan or at the end of Regular Trading Hours.

VII. Trading Pauses

(A) Declaration of Trading Pauses

    (1) If trading for an NMS Stock does not exit a Limit State within 
15 seconds of entry during Regular Trading Hours, then the Primary 
Listing Exchange shall declare a Trading Pause for such NMS Stock and 
shall notify the Processor.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange may also declare a Trading Pause 
for an NMS Stock when an NMS Stock is in a Straddle State, which is 
when National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price 
Band and the NMS Stock is not in a Limit State, and trading in that NMS 
Stock deviates from normal trading characteristics such that declaring 
a Trading Pause would support the Plan's goal to address extraordinary 
market volatility. The Primary Listing Exchange shall develop policies 
and procedures for determining when it would declare a Trading Pause in 
such circumstances. If a Trading Pause is declared for an NMS Stock 
under this provision, the Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the 
Processor.
    (3) The Processor shall disseminate Trading Pause information to 
the public. No trades in an NMS Stock shall occur during a Trading 
Pause, but all bids and offers may be displayed.

(B) Reopening of Trading During Regular Trading Hours

    (1) Five minutes after declaring a Trading Pause for an NMS Stock, 
and if the Primary Listing Exchange has not declared a Regulatory Halt, 
the Primary Listing Exchange shall attempt to reopen trading using its 
established reopening procedures. The Processor will publish the 
following information that the Primary Listing Exchange provides to the 
Processor in connection with such reopening: Auction reference price; 
auction collars; and number of extensions to the reopening auction. The 
Trading Pause shall end when the Primary Listing Exchange reports a 
Reopening Price.
    (2) The Primary Listing Exchange shall notify the Processor if it 
is unable to reopen trading in an NMS Stock due to a systems or 
technology issue and if it has not declared a Regulatory Halt. The 
Processor shall disseminate this information to the public.
    (3) Trading centers may not resume trading in an NMS Stock 
following a Trading Pause without Price Bands in such NMS Stock.
    (4) The Processor shall update the Price Bands as set forth in 
Section V(C)(1)-(2) of the Plan after receiving notification from the 
Primary Listing Exchange of a Reopening Price following a Trading Pause 
(or a resume message in the case of a reopening quote that has a zero 
bid or zero offer, or both) or that it is unable to reopen trading 
following a Trading Pause due to a systems or technology issue, 
provided that if the Primary Listing Exchange is unable to reopen due 
to a systems or technology issue, the update to the Price Bands will be 
no earlier than ten minutes after the beginning of the Trading Pause.

(C) Trading Pauses Within Ten Minutes of the End of Regular Trading 
Hours

    (1) If an NMS Stock is in a Trading Pause during the last ten 
minutes of trading before the end of Regular Trading Hours, the Primary 
Listing Exchange shall not reopen trading and shall attempt to execute 
a closing transaction using its established closing procedures. All 
trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock when the Primary 
Listing Exchange executes a closing transaction.
    (2) If the Primary Listing Exchange does not execute a closing 
transaction within five minutes after the end of Regular Trading Hours, 
all trading centers may begin trading the NMS Stock.

VIII. Implementation

    The initial date of Plan operations shall be April 8, 2013.
    The Plan shall be implemented on a pilot basis set to end on April 
16, 2018.

IX. Withdrawal From Plan

    If a Participant obtains SEC approval to withdraw from the Plan, 
such Participant may withdraw from the Plan at any time on not less 
than 30 days' prior written notice to each of the other Participants. 
At such time, the withdrawing Participant shall have no further rights 
or obligations under the Plan.

X. Counterparts and Signatures

    The Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, no one of 
which need contain all signatures of all Participants, and as many of 
such counterparts as shall together contain all such signatures shall 
constitute one and the same instrument.
    In witness thereof, this Plan has been executed as of the 13th day 
of February 2018 by each of the parties hereto.

Appendix A--Percentage Parameters

I. Tier 1 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 1 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks included in 
the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Index, and the exchange-traded 
products (``ETP'') identified as Schedule 1 to this Appendix. 
Schedule 1 to the Appendix will be reviewed and updated semi-
annually based on the fiscal year by the Primary Listing Exchange to 
add ETPs that meet the criteria, or delete ETPs that are no longer 
eligible. To determine eligibility for an ETP to be included as a 
Tier 1 NMS Stock, all ETPs across multiple asset classes and 
issuers, including domestic equity, international equity, fixed 
income, currency, and commodities and futures will be identified. 
Leveraged ETPs will be excluded and the list will be sorted by 
notional consolidated average daily volume (``CADV''). The period 
used to measure CADV will be from the first day of the previous 
fiscal half year up until one week before the beginning of the next 
fiscal half year. Daily volumes will be multiplied by closing prices 
and then averaged over the period. ETPs, including inverse ETPs, 
that trade over $2,000,000 CADV will be eligible to be included as a 
Tier 1 NMS Stock. The semi-annual updates to Schedule 1 do not 
require an amendment to the Plan. The Primary Listing Exchanges will 
maintain the updated Schedule 1 on their respective websites.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 5%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall 
be 20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 1 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or 
(b) 75%.
    (5) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS

[[Page 12421]]

Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange on the previous trading day, 
or if no closing price exists, the last sale on the Primary Listing 
Exchange reported by the Processor.

II. Tier 2 NMS Stocks

    (1) Tier 2 NMS Stocks shall include all NMS Stocks other than 
those in Tier 1, provided, however, that all rights and warrants are 
excluded from the Plan.
    (2) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price more than $3.00 shall be 10%.
    (3) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price equal to $0.75 and up to and including $3.00 shall 
be 20%.
    (4) The Percentage Parameters for Tier 2 NMS Stocks with a 
Reference Price less than $0.75 shall be the lesser of (a) $0.15 or 
(b) 75%.
    (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Percentage Parameters for 
a Tier 2 NMS Stock that is a leveraged ETP shall be the applicable 
Percentage Parameter set forth in clauses (2), (3), or (4) above, 
multiplied by the leverage ratio of such product.
    (6) The Reference Price used for determining which Percentage 
Parameter shall be applicable during a trading day shall be based on 
the closing price of the NMS Stock on the Primary Listing Exchange 
on the previous trading day, or if no closing price exists, the last 
sale on the Primary Listing Exchange reported by the Processor.
