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 August 17, 2022, MIAX PEARL, LLC (‘‘MIAX Pearl’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) a 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 is filing a proposal to amend the fee schedule (the ‘‘Fee Schedule’’) applicable to MIAX Pearl Equities, an equities trading facility of the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s website at https://www.miaxoptions.com/rulefilings/pearl at MIAX Pearl’s 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 Exchange originally filed this proposal on August 9, 2022, (SR–PEARL–2022–32). On August 18, 2022, the Exchange withdrew SR– PEARL–2022–32 and resubmitted this proposal. The Exchange first notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular venue to be excessive or incentives to be insufficient. More specifically, the Exchange is only one of 16 registered equities exchanges, as well as a number of alternative trading systems and other off-exchange venues, to which market participants may direct their order flow. Based on publicly available information, no single registered equities exchange currently has more than approximately 16% of the total market share of executed volume of equities trading, and the Exchange currently represents approximately 1% of the overall market share.4 Adoption of Step-Up Added Liquidity Rebate The Exchange currently provides a standard rebate of $0.0029 per share for executions of orders in securities priced at or above $1.00 per share that add displayed liquidity to the Exchange (such orders, ‘‘Added Displayed Volume’’). The Exchange also currently offers various volume-based tiers and incentives through which a Member may receive an enhanced rebate for executions of Added Displayed Volume by achieving the specified criteria that corresponds to a particular tier/ incentive. The Exchange now proposes to adopt a new volume-based incentive, referred to by the Exchange as the Step-Up Added Liquidity Rebate, in which the Exchange will provide a rebate of $0.0031 per share for executions of certain orders that constitute Added 3 The term ‘‘Equity Member’’ is a Member authorized by the Exchange to transact business on MIAX Pearl Equities.
