Rule Change To Amend the By-Laws
January 23, 2025.
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 January
10, 2025, MIAX Sapphire, LLC (‘‘MIAX
Sapphire’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in
Item I below, which Item has been
substantially prepared by MIAX
Sapphire. MIAX Sapphire has
designated this proposal for immediate
effectiveness pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–
4(f) thereunder.4 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 Company proposes to amend the
By-Laws to: (1) eliminate the
requirement to maintain a
Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (‘‘Board’’) 5 of MIAX
Sapphire; (2) update the process by
which the Regulatory Oversight
Committee (‘‘ROC’’) determines the
compensation of the Chief Regulatory
Officer (‘‘CRO’’); (3) update the process
by which the ROC determines personnel
actions involving the CRO and senior
regulatory personnel; (4) amend the
requirement to maintain a Quality of
Markets Committee of the Board so that
the responsibilities of that committee
pertain solely to the Trading Floor 6
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES

U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
2 17 CFR 240.19b–4.
3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(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 will institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change should be
approved or disapproved.

means the Board of Directors of the Company. See
By-Laws, Article I, Definitions, subparagraph (c).

update the process by which the
compensation of all officers, employees
and agents of MIAX Sapphire is
determined, with an exception for the
compensation of the CRO; and (6) make
a non-substantive clarifying change to
delete the definition of ‘‘Effective Date’’
(collectively, the ‘‘By-Law
Amendments’’).
The By-Laws of the Company may be
amended by written consent of the LLC
Member 8 or at any regular or special
meeting of the Board of MIAX Sapphire
by a resolution adopted by the Board.9
