for the complete list of fee code combinations and 

their corresponding fees. 

Rather, the Exchange is merely trying to 

ensure that it is compensated for the 

resources that it expends in a situation 

where it is less likely for the full Entry 

Fee to be paid. While such an 

arrangement could result in Companies 

that do not list with the Exchange 

paying a higher Application Fee, the 

Exchange does not believe the proposal 

will disincentivize Companies to submit 

applications to list on other national 

securities exchanges and thereby burden 

competition. Rather, the Exchange 

believes the proposal will reasonably 

compensate the Exchange for its review 

of the application and may incentivize 

Companies to choose not to engage in or 

terminate the application process on the 

Exchange when there is a higher 

likelihood that the Company will list on 

another national securities exchange. 

In addition, as proposed Companies 

that don’t list on the Exchange, either by 

choice or because it failed to meet the 

conditions set forth in the conditional 

approval or some other regulatory 

requirement, will be assessed the Entry 

Fee less the Application Fee at the time 

of conditional approval. Therefore, 

Companies that receive conditional 

approval, but do not list on the 

Exchange will pay a fee they would not 

be subject to under the current rule. The 

Exchange does not believe that this fee 

assessment will impose any burden on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act because it simply 

aligns the fee with the time that 

resource costs are incurred by the 

Exchange. Therefore, the Exchange 

believes the proposal is consistent with 

Section 6(b)(8) of the Act. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed amendments do not encumber 

competition for listings with other 

listing venues, which are similarly free 

to set their fees. Rather, it reflects 

competition among listing venues and 

will further enhance competition. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 12 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 13 thereunder. 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.

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change Pursuant to 

IEX Rule 15.110 To Amend IEX’s Fee 

Schedule 

November 20, 2023. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the

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 text of these 

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 aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

Fee Schedule, pursuant to IEX Rule 

15.110(a) and (c), to revise the fees 

applicable to transactions that add or 

remove resting non-displayed liquidity 

from the same Member (the 

‘‘internalization fee’’). Currently such 

executions are free. As proposed, they 

would be subject to existing fees 

applicable to adding or removing nondisplayed liquidity by different 

Members. IEX also proposes to revise 

the Fee Schedule to delete Fee Code 

Modifier ‘‘S’’ that applies when a 

Member executes against resting 

liquidity added by such Member and to 

make conforming changes to the ‘‘Fee 

Code Combinations and Associated 

Fees’’ section of the Fee Schedule. 

Changes to the Fee Schedule pursuant 

to this proposal are effective upon 

filing,9 and the Exchange plans to 

implement the changes on January 1, 

2024. 

As proposed, IEX will remove Fee 

Code Modifier S and the seven (7) Fee 

Code Combinations that contain Fee 

Code Modifier S from the IEX Fee 

Schedule. As described below, two (2) 

of the seven (7) Fee Code Combinations 

(MIS and TIS) currently result in a free 

execution for both the adding and 

removing orders of an execution, and as 

proposed will be replaced with existing 

Fee Code Combinations that do not 

include Fee Code Modifier S and 

thereby be subject to the regular fees for 

adding or removing non-displayed 

liquidity specified in such Fee Code 

Combinations. The remaining five (5) 

Fee Code Combinations would be 

replaced with existing Fee Code 

Combinations that do not include Fee 

Code Modifier S but would not result in 

a fee change. 

• Fee Code Combination MIS, which 

applies when a Member adds resting 

non-displayed liquidity that executes 

against such Member’s removing 

interest and is currently free, would be 

deleted; such executions would be 

subject to Fee Code Combination MI, 

which results in a fee of $0.0010 per 

share for executions priced at or above 

$1.00 per share or 0.10% of the total 

dollar value of the transaction for 

executions priced below $1.00 per 

share. 

• Fee Code Combination TIS, which 

applies when a Member removes resting 

non-displayed liquidity added by such 

Member and is currently free, would be 

deleted; such executions would be 

subject to Fee Code Combination TI, 

which results in a fee of $0.0010 per 

share for executions priced at or above 

$1.00 per share or 0.10% of the total 

dollar amount of the transaction for 

executions priced below $1.00 per 

share. 

• Fee Code Combination MLS, which 

applies when a Member’s order adds 

displayed liquidity that executes against 

such Member’s removing interest, 

would be deleted; such executions 

would be subject to Fee Code 

Combination ML and would continue to 

result in a rebate of $0.0004 per share 

for executions priced at or above $1.00 

per share or no fee (i.e., free) for 

executions priced below $1.00 per 

share. 

• Fee Code Combination TLS, which 

applies when a Member removes 

displayed liquidity added by such 

Member, would be deleted; such 

executions would be subject to Fee Code 

TL, which would continue to result in 

a fee of $0.0010 per share for executions 

priced at or above $1.00 per share or 

0.09% of the total dollar value of the 

transaction for executions priced below 

$1.00 per share. 

• Fee Code Combinations TLSR and 

TISR, which apply when a Retail 10

order removes displayed or nondisplayed liquidity, respectively, from 

orders entered by the same Member, 

would be deleted; such executions 

would be subject to Fee Code 

Combinations TLR and TIR, 

respectively, and would continue to 

result in a free execution, like all other 

executions of Retail orders. 

• Fee Code Combination MISA, 

which applies when a Retail Liquidity 

Provider 11 order adds non-displayed 

liquidity that executes against a Retail 

order entered by the same Member, 

would be deleted; such executions 

would be subject to Fee Code 

Combination MIA, which would 

continue to result in a free execution, 

like all other executions of Retail 

Liquidity Provider orders. 

Thus, the only fees that would change 

under this proposal are for the fees 

currently charged for orders that add or 

remove non-displayed liquidity 

submitted by the same Member, which 

would now be charged the same $0.0010 

fee per share that is charged for all other 

orders that add or remove nondisplayed liquidity.12

The internalization fee was initially 

adopted when IEX launched as a 

national securities exchange and was 

designed to incentivize Members (and 

their customers) to send orders to IEX 

that might otherwise be internalized off 

exchange with the overall goals of, 

among other things, enhancing order 

interaction on the Exchange with the 

resultant benefit of exchange 

transparency, regulation, and oversight. 

While the internalization fee initially 

applied to executions that added or 

removed displayed and non-displayed 

interest from the same Member, it 

currently only applies to executions that 

add or remove non-displayed interest 

from the same Member.13 The Exchange 

believes that the internalization fee was 

initially an appropriate means to 

incentivize order entry on IEX, but that 

in the current market structure 

environment there are myriad factors 

that impact order routing decisions and 

the internalization fee has not operated 

as a meaningful incentive. 

Consequently, IEX believes that 

impacted orders should be subject to the

same fee structure as other IEX 

executions. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

Section 6(b) of the Act,14 in general, and 

furthers the objectives of Section 

6(b)(4) 15 of the Act, in particular, in that 

it is designed to provide for the 

equitable allocation of reasonable fees 

among IEX Members and persons using 

its facilities. Additionally, IEX believes 

that the proposed changes to the Fee 

Schedule are consistent with the 

investor protection objectives of Section 

6(b)(5) 16 of the Act, in particular, in that 

they are 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; and are not designed to 

permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, brokers, or dealers. 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed changes are reasonable, fair 

and equitable, non-discriminatory, and 

consistent with the Act. The Exchange 

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. 

The Exchange further believes that the 

proposed fee change is consistent with 

the Act’s requirement that the Exchange 

provide for an equitable allocation of 

fees that is also not unfairly 

discriminatory. As proposed, the fees 

for adding and removing non-displayed 

liquidity will apply in an equal and 

nondiscriminatory manner to all 

Members. All Members are eligible to 

enter non-displayed orders and orders 

that remove non-displayed liquidity, 

and the proposed fee structure will 

apply to all Members in the same 

manner. 

IEX notes that other exchanges do not 

offer free executions for the execution of 

orders entered by the same Member. 

Consequently, IEX does not believe that 

its proposed fee structure for adding and 

removing non-displayed liquidity 

entered by the same Member raises any 

new or novel issues that the 

Commission has not already considered 

in the context of other exchanges’ fees. 

In addition, the Exchange believes 

that it is reasonable and consistent with 

the Act to delete Fee Code Modifier S 

and the Fee Code Combinations and 

Associated Fees that include Fee Code 

Modifier S, as described in the Purpose 

section, to reflect the proposed fee 

changes and to provide information to 

Members on the relevant charges. 

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 

Exchange does not believe that the 

proposed fees will impose any burden 

on intermarket competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

Exchange operates in a highly 

competitive market in which market 

participants can easily direct their 

orders to competing venues, including 

off-exchange venues, if its fees are 

viewed as non-competitive. As 

proposed, IEX fees for executions that 

add or remove non-displayed liquidity 

will continue to be below fees charged 

by competing exchanges.17 Moreover, 

subject to the SEC rule filing process, 

other exchanges could adopt similar 

fees. 

The Exchange also does not believe 

that the proposed rule change will 

impose any burden on intramarket 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. The proposed fees 

will apply to all Members in the same 

manner, as discussed in the Statutory 

Basis section. Accordingly, the 

Exchange does not believe that these 

changes will have any impact on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change is effective 

upon filing pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) 18 of the Act and 

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 19

thereunder, because it establishes a due, 

fee, or other charge imposed by the 

Exchange. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such 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 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 20 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
