will continue to promote, investor
protection.
Under paragraph (c) of Rule 17d–2,
the Commission may, after appropriate
notice and comment, declare a plan, or
any part of a plan, effective. In this
instance, the Commission believes that
appropriate notice and comment can
take place after the proposed
amendment is effective. The primary
purpose of the amendment is to add
MIAX Sapphire as a Participant to the
Plan. By declaring it effective today, the
amended Plan can become effective and
be implemented without undue delay.
The Commission notes that the prior
version of this plan immediately prior to
this proposed amendment was
published for comment and the
Commission did not receive any
comments thereon.27 Furthermore, the
Commission does not believe that the
amendment to the plan raises any new
regulatory issues that the Commission
has not previously considered.
VI. Conclusion
This order gives effect to the amended
Plan submitted to the Commission that
is contained in File No. S7–966.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 17(d) of the Act, that the Plan,
as amended, filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 17d–2 on July 22,
2024, is hereby approved and declared
effective.
It is further ordered that those SRO
participants that are not the DOEA as to
a particular common member are
relieved of those regulatory
responsibilities allocated to the common
member’s DOEA under the amended
Plan to the extent of such allocation.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.28

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Modify Rule 7.31
July 31, 2024.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3
notice is hereby given that on July 25,
2024, the NYSE Chicago, Inc. (‘‘NYSE
Chicago’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II 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

the Exchange, 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
self-regulatory organization included
statements concerning the purpose of,
and basis for, the proposed rule change
and discussed any comments it received

1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 7.31 regarding MPL–ALO Orders.
Rule 7.31(d)(3) defines a Mid-Point
Liquidity Order (‘‘MPL Order’’) as a
Limit Order to buy (sell) that is not
displayed and does not route, with a

working price at the lower (higher) of
the midpoint of the PBBO or its limit
price. An MPL Order is ranked Priority
3—Non-Display Orders and is valid for
any session.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(A) provides that an
MPL Order to buy (sell) must be
designated with a limit price in the
MPV for the security and will be eligible
to trade at the working price of the
order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(B) provides that if
there is no PBB, PBO, or the PBBO is
locked or crossed, both an arriving and
resting MPL Order will wait for a PBBO
that is not locked or crossed before
being eligible to trade. If a resting MPL
Order to buy (sell) trades with an MPL
Order to sell (buy) after there is an
unlocked or uncrossed PBBO, the MPL
Order with the later working time will
be the liquidity-removing order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(C) provides that an
Aggressing MPL Order to buy (sell) will
trade at the working price of resting
orders to sell (buy) when such resting
orders have a working price at or below
(above) the working price of the MPL
Order. Resting MPL Orders to buy (sell)
will trade against all Aggressing Orders
to sell (buy) priced at or below (above)
the working price of the MPL Order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(D) provides that an
MPL Order may be designated IOC
(‘‘MPL–IOC Order’’). Subject to such
IOC instructions, an MPL–IOC Order
will follow the same trading and
priority rules as an MPL Order, expect
that an MPL–IOC Order will be rejected
if there is no PBBO or the PBBO is
locked or crossed. An MPL–IOC Order
cannot be designated ALO or with a
Non-Display Remove Modifier.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E) and the
subparagraphs thereunder define the
MPL–ALO Order, which is an MPL
Order designated with an ALO
Modifier.4 An Aggressing 5 MPL–ALO
Order to buy (sell) will trade at the
working price of resting orders to sell
(buy) when such resting orders have a
working price below (above) the less
aggressive of the midpoint of the PBBO
or the limit price of the MPL–ALO
Order, but will not trade with resting
orders to sell (buy) priced equal to the
less aggressive of the midpoint of the
PBBO or the limit price of the MPL–
4 An ALO Order is a Non-Routable Limit Order
that, unless it receives price improvement, will not
remove liquidity from the Exchange Book. See
NYSE Chicago Rule 7.31(e)(2).
5 An ‘‘Aggressing Order’’ is a buy (sell) order that
is or becomes marketable against sell (buy) interest
on the Exchange Book. A resting order may become
an Aggressing Order if its working price changes,
if the PBBO or NBBO is updated, because of
changes to other orders on the Exchange Book, or
when processing inbound messages. See Rule
7.36(a)(5).

ALO Order (Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(i)). If an
MPL–ALO Order to buy (sell) cannot
trade with a same-priced resting order to
sell (buy), a subsequently arriving order
to sell (buy) eligible to trade at the
working price of the MPL–ALO Order
will trade ahead of a resting order to sell
(buy) that is not displayed at that price;
if such resting order to sell (buy) is
displayed, the MPL–ALO Order to buy
(sell) will not be eligible to trade at that
price (Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)). An MPL–
ALO Order may not be designated with
a Non-Display Remove Modifier (Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii)).
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Proposed Rule Change
Currently, Aggressing MPL–ALO
Orders to buy (sell) may trade with
resting orders priced below (above) the
less aggressive of the midpoint of the
PBBO or the limit price of the MPL–
ALO Order (i.e., priced below (above)
the MPL–ALO Order’s working price),
regardless of the amount of price
improvement the Aggressing MPL–ALO
Order would receive. The Exchange
proposes to amend Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(i)
to provide that an Aggressing MPL–ALO
Order would only be eligible to trade
with resting orders when it would
receive price improvement over the
MPL–ALO Order’s working price of at
least one MPV. This proposed change
would not impact non-Aggressing MPL–
ALO Orders (e.g., MPL–ALO Orders
resting on the Exchange Book). A nonAggressing MPL–ALO Order would
continue to provide liquidity at its
working price unless it would not be
eligible to trade as outlined in Rules
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) and (b), as amended
below.
The Exchange next proposes to amend
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii) to provide that an
MPL–ALO Order not eligible to trade as
described in proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(i) would be ranked in the
Exchange Book at its working price and
would not trade at that price if it would
lock or cross displayed interest or cross
non-displayed interest on the Exchange
Book. Specifically, the Exchange
proposes to add new Rules
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) and (b) to provide
that resting MPL–ALO Orders would
not be eligible to trade (a) at a price
equal to or above (below) any sell (buy)
orders that are displayed and that have
a working price equal to or below
(above) the working price of the MPL–
ALO Order, or (b) at a price above
(below) any sell (buy) orders that are not
displayed and that have a working price
below (above) the working price of the
MPL–ALO Order. The Exchange notes
that the circumstances under which
such orders would not be able to trade
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Aug 05, 2024
Jkt 262001
are consistent with the Exchange’s
existing priority and ranking rules.
The Exchange further proposes to
renumber current Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)
as Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii) and to amend
the text of the rule to provide that if an
MPL–ALO Order to buy (sell) cannot
trade with a same-priced resting order to
sell (buy) that is not displayed, a
subsequently arriving order to sell (buy)
eligible to trade at the working price of
the MPL–ALO Order will trade ahead of
such resting order to sell (buy). This
proposed change is not intended to
change the meaning of the rule, but
rather to clarify that, if an MPL–ALO
Order is resting at the same price as
resting non-displayed interest, a
subsequently arriving order that is
eligible to trade with that MPL–ALO
Order would, as currently, be permitted
to trade ahead of such interest. The
Exchange further proposes to delete the
last sentence of current Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii), which provides that an
MPL–ALO Order would not be eligible
to trade at the price of a displayed
resting order to buy (sell), as duplicative
of proposed Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a)
described above.
The following example demonstrates
how an arriving Aggressing MPL–ALO
Order would trade or be ranked on the
Exchange Book, as proposed:
• Assume the PBBO 6 is $10.00 ×
$10.05 (midpoint is $10.025). On the
Exchange Book, there is a Limit Order
to sell 90 shares at $10.02 (‘‘Order 1’’)
and an MPL Order to sell 100 shares at
$10.00 (‘‘Order 2’’). Order 1 is displayed
at its working price of $10.02. Order 2
is non-displayed and has a working
price at the midpoint, $10.025.
• Order 3 is an incoming MPL–ALO
Order to buy 100 shares at $10.05. Order
3, as an Aggressing MPL–ALO Order,
would not trade with either Order 1 or
Order 2 because it would receive less
than $0.01 price improvement over the
midpoint. Pursuant to proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii), Order 3 would be
ranked on the Exchange Book at its
working price, $10.025 (which is the
midpoint, as the working price of an
MPL–ALO Order to buy is the lower of
the midpoint or the order’s limit price).
• Order 4 is an incoming MPL–IOC
Order to sell 100 shares at $10.00. Order
4 would not trade with Order 3 (which
is now ranked on the Exchange Book at
its working price) at $10.025 per
proposed Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a)
6 ‘‘Best
Protected Bid’’ or ‘‘PBB’’ means the
highest Protected Bid, ‘‘Best Protected Offer’’ or
‘‘PBO’’ means the lowest Protected Offer, and
‘‘Protected Best Bid and Offer’’ or ‘‘PBBO’’ means
the Best Protected Bid and the Best Protected Offer,
as those terms are defined in Rule 600(b)(57) of
Regulation NMS. See Rule 1.1(n).
PO 00000
Frm 00113

because an execution at that price
would be at a price above displayed
interest on the Exchange Book (Order 1
at $10.02). Order 4, as an IOC Order,
would be cancelled because it does not
execute.
• Assume Order 1 is cancelled, and
Order 5 is an incoming MPL–IOC Order
to sell 100 shares at $10.00. Order 5
would trade with Order 3 (where Order
3 is the liquidity provider) at $10.025,
consistent with proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii), because the trade
would execute at a price that is not
above the price of any displayed or nondisplayed interest on the Exchange
Book, although it would be at the same
price as Order 2 (non-displayed interest
on the Exchange Book).7
The following example demonstrates
how an MPL–ALO Order that is resting
on the Exchange Book and subsequently
becomes an Aggressing MPL–ALO
Order (in this example, when the PBBO
is updated) would trade, as proposed:
• Assume the PBBO is $10.00 ×
$10.05 (midpoint is $10.025). Order 1 is
a non-displayed Limit Order to sell 100
shares at $10.03, resting on the
Exchange Book at its working price of
$10.03. Order 2 is an MPL–ALO Order
to buy 100 shares at $10.05. Order 2 is
resting non-displayed on the Exchange
Book at its working price of $10.025
(which is the midpoint, as the working
price of an MPL–ALO Order to buy is
the lower of the midpoint or the order’s
limit price).
• Assume the PBBO updates to
$10.03 × $10.05 (midpoint is $10.04).
Order 2 reprices to the new midpoint,
$10.04, and becomes an Aggressing
Order because its working price has
changed and the PBBO has updated.
Order 2 will trade as an Aggressing
Order (as the liquidity taker) with Order
1 at $10.03 because it would receive
$0.01 price improvement over its
working price.
Finally, the Exchange proposes to
renumber current Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii)
as Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iv) to reflect the
addition of the new rule text described
above, without any changes to the text
of the rule.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed change, which would allow an
Aggressing MPL–ALO Order to trade
only when it would receive price
improvement over its working price of
at least one MPV, would promote
7 As noted above, Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii), as
amended, reflects current Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii),
which provides that an MPL–ALO Order that is
resting at the same price as resting non-displayed
interest would be permitted to trade with a
subsequently arriving order that is eligible to trade
with that MPL–ALO Order, ahead of the nondisplayed interest.

higher-quality executions for
Participants and provide Participants
with greater certainty regarding the
amount of price improvement such
executions would receive, thereby
encouraging increased order flow to the
Exchange and enhanced opportunities
for order execution for all market
participants. The Exchange notes that
evaluating the economic benefit of an
execution is not a novel concept on
equity exchanges.8 Accordingly, the
Exchange believes that this proposed
change, which would consider the
amount of price improvement that an
Aggressing MPL–ALO Order would
receive upon execution, would offer
Participants a similar benefit to that
available on at least one other equity
exchange for an order type similar to the
MPL–ALO Order and could thus
promote competition among equity
exchanges.
Because of the technology changes
associated with this proposed rule
change, the Exchange will announce the
implementation date by Trader Update,
which, subject to effectiveness of this
proposed rule change, will be no later
than in the fourth quarter of 2024.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,9
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5),10 in particular, because
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
mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed change would promote just
and equitable principles of trade,
remove impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and
protect investors and the public interest
because allowing an Aggressing MPL–
ALO Order to trade only when it would
receive price improvement over its
working price of at least one MPV
would promote higher-quality
executions for Participants, thereby
encouraging increased order flow to the
8 See, e.g., Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, Equity 4,

between the NBBO and will execute upon entry
only in circumstances where economically

Exchange and enhanced trading
opportunities for all market
participants. The Exchange also believes
that the proposed conforming changes
to Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E) would remove
impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and
protect investors and the public interest
by clarifying how Aggressing MPL–ALO
Orders that would not be eligible to
trade based on the amount of price
improvement would be ranked and
would trade once resting, in accordance
with the Exchange’s priority and
ranking rules. Finally, the Exchange
notes that considering the economic
benefit of an execution is not a novel
concept and believes that this proposed
change would remove impediments to,
and perfect the mechanism of, a free and
open market and a national market
system by providing Participants with
greater certainty as to the amount of
price improvement they would receive
when an Aggressing MPL–ALO Order
executes, as well as by promoting
competition among equity exchanges.11
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. The
proposed rule change would amend
Exchange rules to permit Aggressing
MPL–ALO Orders to trade only when
they would receive price improvement
of at least one MPV over their working
price, thereby providing a minimum
amount of price improvement for
Participants entering such orders. To the
extent the proposed rule change
promotes higher-quality executions on
the Exchange, the proposed change
could encourage increased order flow to
the Exchange and facilitate additional
trading opportunities for all market
participants. In addition, at least one
other equity exchange considers the
economic benefit to the entering party
when evaluating whether a similar order
type may trade, and the Exchange’s
proposal would thus promote
competition among exchanges by
providing a minimum amount of price
improvement to Aggressing MPL–ALO
Orders.12 The Exchange also believes
that, to the extent the proposed change
would increase opportunities for order
execution, the proposed change would
promote competition by making the
Exchange a more attractive venue for

order flow and enhancing market
quality for all market participants.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days after the date of
the filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 13 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 14
thereunder.
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 15 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),16 the
Commission may designate a shorter
time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative upon
filing. The Exchange is requesting the
waiver because it will allow the
Exchange to implement the proposed
change as soon as the associated
technology is available, which is
anticipated to be less than 30 days from
the date of this filing. The Exchange
believes the proposed change would
provide member organizations with
greater certainty regarding the amount
of price improvement their Aggressing
MPL–ALO Orders would receive,
thereby promoting higher-quality
executions and encouraging increased
order flow to the Exchange for the
benefit of all market participants. For
these reasons, and because the proposed
rule change does not raise any novel
legal or regulatory issues, the
13 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give
the Commission written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time
as designated by the Commission. The Exchange
has satisfied this requirement.

Commission believes that waiving the
30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the
Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the
proposal operative upon filing.17
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to modify Rule 7.31 regarding MPL-ALO Orders.
The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.31 regarding MPL-ALO Orders.
Rule 7.31(d)(3) defines a Mid-Point Liquidity Order (``MPL Order'')
as a Limit Order to buy (sell) that is not displayed and does not
route, with a working price at the lower (higher) of the midpoint of
the PBBO or its limit price. An MPL Order is ranked Priority 3--Non-
Display Orders and is valid for any session.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(A) provides that an MPL Order to buy (sell) must be
designated with a limit price in the MPV for the security and will be
eligible to trade at the working price of the order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(B) provides that if there is no PBB, PBO, or the
PBBO is locked or crossed, both an arriving and resting MPL Order will
wait for a PBBO that is not locked or crossed before being eligible to
trade. If a resting MPL Order to buy (sell) trades with an MPL Order to
sell (buy) after there is an unlocked or uncrossed PBBO, the MPL Order
with the later working time will be the liquidity-removing order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(C) provides that an Aggressing MPL Order to buy
(sell) will trade at the working price of resting orders to sell (buy)
when such resting orders have a working price at or below (above) the
working price of the MPL Order. Resting MPL Orders to buy (sell) will
trade against all Aggressing Orders to sell (buy) priced at or below
(above) the working price of the MPL Order.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(D) provides that an MPL Order may be designated IOC
(``MPL-IOC Order''). Subject to such IOC instructions, an MPL-IOC Order
will follow the same trading and priority rules as an MPL Order, expect
that an MPL-IOC Order will be rejected if there is no PBBO or the PBBO
is locked or crossed. An MPL-IOC Order cannot be designated ALO or with
a Non-Display Remove Modifier.
Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E) and the subparagraphs thereunder define the MPL-
ALO Order, which is an MPL Order designated with an ALO Modifier.\4\ An
Aggressing \5\ MPL-ALO Order to buy (sell) will trade at the working
price of resting orders to sell (buy) when such resting orders have a
working price below (above) the less aggressive of the midpoint of the
PBBO or the limit price of the MPL-ALO Order, but will not trade with
resting orders to sell (buy) priced equal to the less aggressive of the
midpoint of the PBBO or the limit price of the MPL-
[[Page 64022]]
ALO Order (Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(i)). If an MPL-ALO Order to buy (sell)
cannot trade with a same-priced resting order to sell (buy), a
subsequently arriving order to sell (buy) eligible to trade at the
working price of the MPL-ALO Order will trade ahead of a resting order
to sell (buy) that is not displayed at that price; if such resting
order to sell (buy) is displayed, the MPL-ALO Order to buy (sell) will
not be eligible to trade at that price (Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)). An
MPL-ALO Order may not be designated with a Non-Display Remove Modifier
(Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ An ALO Order is a Non-Routable Limit Order that, unless it
receives price improvement, will not remove liquidity from the
Exchange Book. See NYSE Chicago Rule 7.31(e)(2).
\5\ An ``Aggressing Order'' is a buy (sell) order that is or
becomes marketable against sell (buy) interest on the Exchange Book.
A resting order may become an Aggressing Order if its working price
changes, if the PBBO or NBBO is updated, because of changes to other
orders on the Exchange Book, or when processing inbound messages.
See Rule 7.36(a)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed Rule Change
Currently, Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders to buy (sell) may trade with
resting orders priced below (above) the less aggressive of the midpoint
of the PBBO or the limit price of the MPL-ALO Order (i.e., priced below
(above) the MPL-ALO Order's working price), regardless of the amount of
price improvement the Aggressing MPL-ALO Order would receive. The
Exchange proposes to amend Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(i) to provide that an
Aggressing MPL-ALO Order would only be eligible to trade with resting
orders when it would receive price improvement over the MPL-ALO Order's
working price of at least one MPV. This proposed change would not
impact non-Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders (e.g., MPL-ALO Orders resting on
the Exchange Book). A non-Aggressing MPL-ALO Order would continue to
provide liquidity at its working price unless it would not be eligible
to trade as outlined in Rules 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) and (b), as amended
below.
The Exchange next proposes to amend Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii) to
provide that an MPL-ALO Order not eligible to trade as described in
proposed Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(i) would be ranked in the Exchange Book at
its working price and would not trade at that price if it would lock or
cross displayed interest or cross non-displayed interest on the
Exchange Book. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to add new Rules
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) and (b) to provide that resting MPL-ALO Orders
would not be eligible to trade (a) at a price equal to or above (below)
any sell (buy) orders that are displayed and that have a working price
equal to or below (above) the working price of the MPL-ALO Order, or
(b) at a price above (below) any sell (buy) orders that are not
displayed and that have a working price below (above) the working price
of the MPL-ALO Order. The Exchange notes that the circumstances under
which such orders would not be able to trade are consistent with the
Exchange's existing priority and ranking rules.
The Exchange further proposes to renumber current Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii) as Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii) and to amend the text of
the rule to provide that if an MPL-ALO Order to buy (sell) cannot trade
with a same-priced resting order to sell (buy) that is not displayed, a
subsequently arriving order to sell (buy) eligible to trade at the
working price of the MPL-ALO Order will trade ahead of such resting
order to sell (buy). This proposed change is not intended to change the
meaning of the rule, but rather to clarify that, if an MPL-ALO Order is
resting at the same price as resting non-displayed interest, a
subsequently arriving order that is eligible to trade with that MPL-ALO
Order would, as currently, be permitted to trade ahead of such
interest. The Exchange further proposes to delete the last sentence of
current Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii), which provides that an MPL-ALO Order
would not be eligible to trade at the price of a displayed resting
order to buy (sell), as duplicative of proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) described above.
The following example demonstrates how an arriving Aggressing MPL-
ALO Order would trade or be ranked on the Exchange Book, as proposed:
Assume the PBBO \6\ is $10.00 x $10.05 (midpoint is
$10.025). On the Exchange Book, there is a Limit Order to sell 90
shares at $10.02 (``Order 1'') and an MPL Order to sell 100 shares at
$10.00 (``Order 2''). Order 1 is displayed at its working price of
$10.02. Order 2 is non-displayed and has a working price at the
midpoint, $10.025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ ``Best Protected Bid'' or ``PBB'' means the highest
Protected Bid, ``Best Protected Offer'' or ``PBO'' means the lowest
Protected Offer, and ``Protected Best Bid and Offer'' or ``PBBO''
means the Best Protected Bid and the Best Protected Offer, as those
terms are defined in Rule 600(b)(57) of Regulation NMS. See Rule
1.1(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order 3 is an incoming MPL-ALO Order to buy 100 shares at
$10.05. Order 3, as an Aggressing MPL-ALO Order, would not trade with
either Order 1 or Order 2 because it would receive less than $0.01
price improvement over the midpoint. Pursuant to proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii), Order 3 would be ranked on the Exchange Book at its
working price, $10.025 (which is the midpoint, as the working price of
an MPL-ALO Order to buy is the lower of the midpoint or the order's
limit price).
Order 4 is an incoming MPL-IOC Order to sell 100 shares at
$10.00. Order 4 would not trade with Order 3 (which is now ranked on
the Exchange Book at its working price) at $10.025 per proposed Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii)(a) because an execution at that price would be at a
price above displayed interest on the Exchange Book (Order 1 at
$10.02). Order 4, as an IOC Order, would be cancelled because it does
not execute.
Assume Order 1 is cancelled, and Order 5 is an incoming
MPL-IOC Order to sell 100 shares at $10.00. Order 5 would trade with
Order 3 (where Order 3 is the liquidity provider) at $10.025,
consistent with proposed Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii), because the trade
would execute at a price that is not above the price of any displayed
or non-displayed interest on the Exchange Book, although it would be at
the same price as Order 2 (non-displayed interest on the Exchange
Book).\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ As noted above, Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii), as amended,
reflects current Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(ii), which provides that an MPL-
ALO Order that is resting at the same price as resting non-displayed
interest would be permitted to trade with a subsequently arriving
order that is eligible to trade with that MPL-ALO Order, ahead of
the non-displayed interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following example demonstrates how an MPL-ALO Order that is
resting on the Exchange Book and subsequently becomes an Aggressing
MPL-ALO Order (in this example, when the PBBO is updated) would trade,
as proposed:
Assume the PBBO is $10.00 x $10.05 (midpoint is $10.025).
Order 1 is a non-displayed Limit Order to sell 100 shares at $10.03,
resting on the Exchange Book at its working price of $10.03. Order 2 is
an MPL-ALO Order to buy 100 shares at $10.05. Order 2 is resting non-
displayed on the Exchange Book at its working price of $10.025 (which
is the midpoint, as the working price of an MPL-ALO Order to buy is the
lower of the midpoint or the order's limit price).
Assume the PBBO updates to $10.03 x $10.05 (midpoint is
$10.04). Order 2 reprices to the new midpoint, $10.04, and becomes an
Aggressing Order because its working price has changed and the PBBO has
updated. Order 2 will trade as an Aggressing Order (as the liquidity
taker) with Order 1 at $10.03 because it would receive $0.01 price
improvement over its working price.
Finally, the Exchange proposes to renumber current Rule
7.31(d)(3)(E)(iii) as Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E)(iv) to reflect the addition of
the new rule text described above, without any changes to the text of
the rule.
The Exchange believes that the proposed change, which would allow
an Aggressing MPL-ALO Order to trade only when it would receive price
improvement over its working price of at least one MPV, would promote
[[Page 64023]]
higher-quality executions for Participants and provide Participants
with greater certainty regarding the amount of price improvement such
executions would receive, thereby encouraging increased order flow to
the Exchange and enhanced opportunities for order execution for all
market participants. The Exchange notes that evaluating the economic
benefit of an execution is not a novel concept on equity exchanges.\8\
Accordingly, the Exchange believes that this proposed change, which
would consider the amount of price improvement that an Aggressing MPL-
ALO Order would receive upon execution, would offer Participants a
similar benefit to that available on at least one other equity exchange
for an order type similar to the MPL-ALO Order and could thus promote
competition among equity exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See, e.g., Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, Equity 4, Rule
4702(b)(5)(A) (defining the Midpoint Peg Post-Only Order, which is
priced at the midpoint between the NBBO and will execute upon entry
only in circumstances where economically beneficial to the party
entering such order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the technology changes associated with this proposed
rule change, the Exchange will announce the implementation date by
Trader Update, which, subject to effectiveness of this proposed rule
change, will be no later than in the fourth quarter of 2024.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\10\
in particular, because 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 mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and
the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
\10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange believes that the proposed change would promote just
and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect
the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system,
and protect investors and the public interest because allowing an
Aggressing MPL-ALO Order to trade only when it would receive price
improvement over its working price of at least one MPV would promote
higher-quality executions for Participants, thereby encouraging
increased order flow to the Exchange and enhanced trading opportunities
for all market participants. The Exchange also believes that the
proposed conforming changes to Rule 7.31(d)(3)(E) would remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market
and a national market system, and protect investors and the public
interest by clarifying how Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders that would not be
eligible to trade based on the amount of price improvement would be
ranked and would trade once resting, in accordance with the Exchange's
priority and ranking rules. Finally, the Exchange notes that
considering the economic benefit of an execution is not a novel concept
and believes that this proposed change would remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market
system by providing Participants with greater certainty as to the
amount of price improvement they would receive when an Aggressing MPL-
ALO Order executes, as well as by promoting competition among equity
exchanges.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See note 8, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The proposed rule change
would amend Exchange rules to permit Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders to trade
only when they would receive price improvement of at least one MPV over
their working price, thereby providing a minimum amount of price
improvement for Participants entering such orders. To the extent the
proposed rule change promotes higher-quality executions on the
Exchange, the proposed change could encourage increased order flow to
the Exchange and facilitate additional trading opportunities for all
market participants. In addition, at least one other equity exchange
considers the economic benefit to the entering party when evaluating
whether a similar order type may trade, and the Exchange's proposal
would thus promote competition among exchanges by providing a minimum
amount of price improvement to Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders.\12\ The
Exchange also believes that, to the extent the proposed change would
increase opportunities for order execution, the proposed change would
promote competition by making the Exchange a more attractive venue for
order flow and enhancing market quality for all market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See note 8, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) \14\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
\14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \15\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\16\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative upon filing. The Exchange is
requesting the waiver because it will allow the Exchange to implement
the proposed change as soon as the associated technology is available,
which is anticipated to be less than 30 days from the date of this
filing. The Exchange believes the proposed change would provide member
organizations with greater certainty regarding the amount of price
improvement their Aggressing MPL-ALO Orders would receive, thereby
promoting higher-quality executions and encouraging increased order
flow to the Exchange for the benefit of all market participants. For
these reasons, and because the proposed rule change does not raise any
novel legal or regulatory issues, the
[[Page 64024]]
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and
designates the proposal operative upon filing.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
\16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
\17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
