The Exchange is not proposing any substantive changes to the LMM Program as it relates to Exchange-Traded Products (‘‘ETPs’’) or Closed-End Funds, but is merely proposing to make changes in its Rulebook to clearly delineate the LMM Program applicable to Corporate Securities. The Exchange also proposes to make corresponding changes to its Fee Schedule. The Exchange proposes to implement these changes on February 2, 2024.5 3 ‘‘Minimum Performance Standards’’ means a set of standards applicable to an LMM that may be determined from time to time by the Exchange.

Currently, the Minimum Performance Standards for Primary Equity Securities and Closed-End Funds include the following under Rule 11.8(e)(1)(E)(i)– (v): (i) Registration as a market maker in good standing with the Exchange; (ii) Time at the inside requirements, which, for Qualified Securities,10 require that an LMM maintain quotes at the NBB and the NBO at least 5% of Regular Trading Hours where the security has a consolidated average daily volume equal to or greater than 500,000 shares and at least 15% of Regular Trading Hours where the security has a consolidated average daily volume of less than 500,000 shares.
