Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed
Rule Change To Amend Exchange
Rule 100, Definitions
April 22, 2019.
Pursuant to the provisions of 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 April 17, 2019, MIAX Emerald, LLC

principal office, 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 amend
Exchange Rule 100, Definitions, to make
a minor non-substantive edit to the
definition for an Electronic Exchange
Member in order to provide consistency
and clarity within the rule text.
Currently, the rule text for an
Electronic Exchange Member in
Exchange Rule 100 provides: The term
‘‘Electronic Exchange Member means
the holder of a Trading Permit who is
not a Market Maker. Electronic
Exchange Members are deemed
‘‘members’’ under the Exchange Act.3
The Exchange proposes to amend the
definition for an Electronic Exchange
Member in Exchange Rule 100 to insert
the abbreviation for Electronic Exchange
Member as an ‘‘EEM’’ to provide
consistency and clarity within the rule
text. With the proposed change, the
definition for an Electronic Exchange
Member would provide: The term
‘‘Electronic Exchange Member’’ or
‘‘EEM’’ means the holder of a Trading
Permit who is not a Market Maker.
Electronic Exchange Members are
deemed ‘‘members’’ under the Exchange
Act.
The proposed change would align the
rule text for the definition of an
Electronic Exchange Member with the
rest of the rule text for MIAX Emerald.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act 4 in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act 5 in particular, in that it is

designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
The Exchange is proposing to amend
the definition for an Electronic
Exchange Member in Exchange Rule 100
to insert the abbreviation for Electronic
Exchange Member as an ‘‘EEM’’ to
provide consistency and clarity within
the rule text. The proposed change
would align the rule text for the
definition of an Electronic Exchange
Member with the rest of the rule text for
MIAX Emerald. The Exchange believes
its proposal will reduce the potential for
confusion by ensuring that all references
to an Electronic Exchange Member by
its abbreviation as an EEM throughout
the rule text conforms to the definition
for an Electronic Exchange Member in
Exchange Rule 100.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. Specifically,
the Exchange believes that, by amending
the definition for an Electronic
Exchange Member in Exchange Rule 100
to insert the abbreviation for Electronic
Exchange Member as an ‘‘EEM’’ will
provide consistency and clarity within
the rule text. The proposed change
would align the rule text for the
definition of an Electronic Exchange
Member with the rest of the rule text for
MIAX Emerald.
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
