khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES4
Proprietary/Broker-Dealers, and
Professional Customers from $0.48 to
$0.50 per contract does not impose an
undue burden on competition as all
Non-Priority Customers would be
assessed the same Complex Order
Maker Fees for Select Symbols when
trading against Priority Customer.
Priority Customer orders bring valuable
liquidity to the market which liquidity
benefits other market participants.
Priority Customers are not assessed
Complex Order Maker Fees for Select
Symbols when trading against Priority
Customer.
The Exchange’s proposal to amend
note 3 of Options 7, Section 4 with
respect to Complex Order Maker Fees
for Select Symbols when trading against
Priority Customer for Market Makers as
well as Complex Order Taker Fees for
Select Symbols for Market Makers does
not impose an undue burden on
competition. Market Makers would
continue to be permitted to lower their
Maker Fees for Select Symbols when
trading against Priority Customers, as
well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols,
provided the Market Maker qualified for
Priority Customer Complex Order Tiers
8, 9 or 10. Today, Market Makers are
able to lower their Maker Fees for Select
Symbols when trading against Priority
Customers, as well as Taker Fees for
Select Symbols, provided they qualify
for Priority Customer Complex Order
Tiers 8 or 9. With this proposal Market
Makers would also be able to lower their
Maker Fees for Select Symbols when
trading against Priority Customers, as
well as Taker Fees for Select Symbols,
if they qualify for new Priority Customer
Complex Order Tier 10. Unlike other
market participants, Market Makers
have an obligation to maintain quotes 17
and provide liquidity in the regular
market. The Exchange is providing
Market Makers the opportunity to
reduce their Maker Fees for Select
Symbols when trading against Priority
Customers, as well as Taker Fees for
Select Symbols, provided the Market
Maker qualified for Priority Customer
Complex Order Tiers 8, 9 or 10, to
incentivize these market participants to
continue to provide liquidity on ISE.
Technical Amendments
The Exchange’s proposal to remove
reserved note 17 within Options 7,
Section 4 does not impose an undue
burden on competition as this note is
not necessary and the amendment is
non-substantive. The Exchange’s
proposal to remove obsolete date
references and an obsolete rate within
Options 7, Section 9.C. related to the
Options Regulatory Fee does not impose
an undue burden on competition.
