Amex when responding to a price 

improvement auction.63 With respect to 

Specialists and Market Makers, these 

market participants are assessed PFOF 

when contra to an electronicallydelivered Customer order, while other 

market participants are not assessed 

such fees.64 The Exchange does not 

believe the pricing changes will provide 

a competitive advantage for Specialists 

and Market Makers as compared to 

other Non-Customer market participants 

(i.e., Professionals, Broker-Dealers and 

Firms), with respect to intra-market 

competition. Specialists and Markets 

would continue to be assessed lower 

rates as compared to these market 

participants. Further, with respect to 

inter-market competition, the Exchange 

believes that the proposed change will 

enhance the competiveness of the 

Exchange relative to other exchanges 

that offer their own electronic crossing 

mechanism. Other market participants 

will pay the same Options Transaction 

Charges as they pay today for all other 

Multiply Listed Options transactions 

that are not transacted within the PIXL 

auction. 

The Exchange’s proposal to increase 

the FLEX Transaction Fees for Multiply 

Listed Options for Professionals, 

Specialists, Market Makers, BrokerDealers and Firms from $0.15 to $0.25 

per contract does not create an undue 

burden on competition because the 

Exchange is assessing the same fees for 

FLEX transactions in Multiply Listed 

Options on all market participants, 

except Customers. Customers 

traditionally are not assessed 

transaction fees because Customer 

orders bring valuable liquidity to the 

market. 

The Exchange operates in a highly 

competitive market, comprised of 

twelve exchanges, in which market 

participants can easily and readily 

direct order flow to competing venues if 

they deem fee levels at a particular 

venue to be excessive or rebates to be 

inadequate. Accordingly, the fees that 

are assessed and the rebates paid by the 

Exchange, as described in the proposal, 

are influenced by these robust market 

forces and therefore must remain 

competitive with fees charged and 

rebates paid by other venues and 

therefore must continue to be reasonable 

and equitably allocated to those 

members that opt to direct orders to the 

Exchange rather than competing venues.
