The arrangement does not require an 

end-user of the information (other than 

a data feed recipient) to enter into any 

agreement. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The bases under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘1934 Act’’) 

for the proposed rule change are the 

requirement under section 6(b)(4) 9 that 

an exchange have rules that provide for 

the equitable allocation of reasonable 

dues, fees and other charges among its 

members and other persons using its 

facilities and the requirements under 

section 6(b)(5) 10 that the rules of an 

exchange be designed to promote just 

and equitable principles of trade, 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 proposal benefits investors by 

facilitating their prompt access to 

widespread, free NYSE Order Imbalance 

Information. 

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. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has not solicited, and 

does not intend to solicit, comments 

regarding the proposed rule change. The 

Exchange has not received any 

unsolicited written comments from 

members or other interested parties. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 35 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period (i) 

as the Commission may designate up to 

90 days of such date if it finds such 

longer period to be appropriate and 

publishes its reasons for so finding or 

(ii) as to which the Exchange consents, 

the Commission will: 

(A) By order approve the proposed 

rule change, or 

(B) Institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved.

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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange seeks to amend 

Exchange Rule 1500 (‘‘NYSE 

MatchPoint’’) to clarify the functionality 

of the intra-day matching sessions, and 

the timing of the dissemination of intraday and after hours trade reports and 

when unexecuted orders are cancelled 

back to the User (i.e., those customers 

entering orders into MatchPoint). Intraday matching sessions begin at 9:45 

a.m., 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 

1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. A 

MatchPoint after hours matching 

session occurs at 4:45 p.m. 

The MatchPoint rule provides that a 

User can only enter, correct and cancel 

an order prior to commencement of a 

pre-determined one-minute matching 

session (see subsection (d)(2) of Rule 

1500). However, subsequent to the 

September 2008 launch of the intra-day 

matching sessions, Exchange staff 

became aware that the MatchPoint 

system permits orders to be entered, 

corrected and cancelled during the oneminute intra-day matching sessions up 

to and including the time the algorithm 

randomly selects the Reference Price 

and commences the ‘‘matching 

process.’’ The ‘‘matching process’’ 

continues with the execution of orders 

and allocation of executed shares among 

the orders. MatchPoint orders cannot be 

entered, corrected or cancelled once the 

‘‘matching process’’ has commenced. 

For example, in the intended 

MatchPoint model, if a User entered an 

order into the MatchPoint system at 

10:00:05 a.m. (5 seconds after the 

commencement of the 10:00 a.m. 

matching session), such order would be 

rejected by the MatchPoint system as 

untimely, and the order would not 

participate in the 10:00 a.m. matching 

session. However, as the system is 

functioning today, the User is able to 

enter, correct or cancel an order up to 

and including the time that the 

MatchPoint algorithm randomly selects 

the Reference Price and commences the 

matching process. Therefore, if a User 

enters a MatchPoint order into the 

MatchPoint system after the 

commencement of the 10:00 a.m. 

matching session at 10:00:05, the order 

may participate in the 10:00 a.m. 

matching session as long as the order is 

entered prior to the time the MatchPoint 

algorithm randomly selects the 

Reference Price and commences the 

matching process. Thus, if the Reference 

Price in this example is randomly 

selected at 10:00:10, the order that was 

entered at 10:00:05 will participate in 

the 10:00 matching session, but an order 

entered at 10:00:20 will not participate 

in the 10:00 matching session and will 

be rejected as untimely and cancelled 

back to the User. Thus, to be assured 

participation in the 10:00 a.m. matching 

session, a User must enter a MatchPoint 

order into the system anytime prior to 

the commencement of the 10:00 a.m. 

matching session. 

The proposed rule change will clarify 

that the User may enter, correct or 

cancel an order up to and including the 

time that the MatchPoint algorithm 

randomly selects the Reference Price 

and commences the matching process. 

The Exchange believes the manner in 

which the MatchPoint intra-day 

matching process currently functions is 

appropriate in that it provides 

customers with a greater ability to 

manage orders because the orders are 

not necessarily held in the MatchPoint 

system for the entire one-minute 

session, and the customers are able to 

react more quickly to the market. 

Further, more customers may have the 

opportunity to enter, correct or cancel 

orders for a particular matching session 

in a timely fashion without having to 

wait a full hour for the next matching 

session to commence. 

Additionally, the Exchange seeks to 

amend and clarify subsection (b)(2)(F) of 

NYSE Rule 1500 (‘‘NYSE MatchPoint 

Orders’’) to reflect the actual 

functionality of the MatchPoint system 

and to conform this subsection with the 

other proposed amendments to the Rule. 

In the intra-day and after hours 

MatchPoint matching sessions, the 

cancelling back of unexecuted orders 

and dissemination of trade reports 

actually occur immediately after 

completion of the ‘‘matching process’’ 

and not after completion of the 

‘‘matching session.’’ Therefore, the 

definition of NYSE MatchPoint orders 

will include language that indicates that 

unexecuted orders will be cancelled 

back to the User ‘‘immediately upon 

completion of the matching process in 

the relevant one-minute matching 

session,’’ and that trade reports will be 

disseminated immediately after 

completion of the ‘‘matching process.’’ 4

Additionally, the Exchange seeks to 

amend and clarify subsections (c)(1)(B) 

and (c)(1)(C) of NYSE Rule 1500 

regarding MatchPoint intra-day 

matching sessions when the market is 

crossed. The MatchPoint rule provides 

the following: 

(B) If the NBBO for a particular security is 

locked at the time of a MatchPoint matching 

session during the regular trading hours of 

the Exchange, the matching session shall 

execute orders at the locked price. 

Unexecuted MatchPoint orders in that 

security shall be immediately cancelled back 

to the User upon completion of the matching 

session. 

(C) If the NBBO for a particular security is 

crossed at the time of a MatchPoint matching 

session during the regular trading hours of 

the Exchange, the matching session in that 

particular security shall not occur. 

Unexecuted MatchPoint orders in that 

security shall be immediately cancelled back 

to the User upon completion of the matching 

session. 

The Exchange is proposing to amend 

the rule text in subsections (c)(1)(B) to 

clarify that during any intra-day 

matching session, the MatchPoint 

system will execute orders at the locked 

price when the market is locked at the 

time the MatchPoint algorithm 

randomly selects the Reference Price 

and commences the matching process— 

and not at the commencement of the 

particular matching session. Further, the 

proposed text will indicate that 

unexecuted orders will be cancelled 

back to the User immediately upon 

completion of the ‘‘matching process’’— 

and not at the completion of the 

‘‘matching session.’’ 

The Exchange is proposing to amend 

the rule text in subsections (c)(1)(C) to 

clarify that during any intra-day 

matching session, if the NBBO for a 

particular security is crossed at the time 

the ‘‘MatchPoint algorithm randomly 

selects the Reference Price,’’ the 

matching session in that particular 

security will not occur, and unexecuted 

orders will be cancelled back to the User 

immediately upon completion of the 

‘‘matching process’’—and not at the 

completion of the ‘‘matching session.’’ 

The Exchange believes that the way 

the MatchPoint system currently 

functions in relation to the 

dissemination of trade reports, crossed 

markets and the time the unexecuted 

orders are cancelled back to the User are 

beneficial functionalities for all 

customers. These functionalities will,

11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 

19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires the self-regulatory 

organization to give the Commission 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. 

NYSE has satisfied this requirement. 

12 Id. 

13For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

among other things, provide customers 

with more immediate information 

regarding the processing of their orders 

and enable them to better manage their 

order flow. The immediacy of this 

information allows the customer to 

respond more quickly and more 

strategically to the movement of the 

market. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) 5 for 

this proposed rule change is the 

requirement under Section 6(b)(5) 6 that 

an Exchange have rules that are 

designed to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, 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 rule change is 

consistent with the provisions of 

Section 6 of the Act because it clarifies 

the operation of the MatchPoint trading 

platform in relation to order entry, 

correction and cancellation capabilities 

during the intra-day matching sessions, 

and when the MatchPoint system 

cancels unexecuted orders back to the 

User and disseminates intra-day and 

after hours trade reports.7 By clarifying 

these functionalities of the MatchPoint 

trading platform, a trading platform that 

is available to all members of the 

Exchange and those non-members who 

are authorized to access the platform as 

a Sponsored Participant, the proposed 

rule change promotes just and equitable 

principles of trade, removes 

impediments to and perfects the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system, and, in 

general, protects investors and the 

public interest.8

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. 

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 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 

filing, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate if consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest, the proposed rule 

change has become effective pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and 

subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 

thereunder.10

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) normally may not 

become operative prior to the 30th day 

after the date of filing.11 However, Rule 

19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 12 permits the 

Commission to designate a shorter time 

if such action is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest. The Exchange requested that 

the Commission waive the 30-day 

operative delay and designate the 

proposed rule change to become 

operative upon filing. The Exchange 

believes that the operative date should 

be waived so that NYSE Rule 1500 will 

accurately reflect the technological 

functioning of the MatchPoint system 

and will immediately provide customers 

transparency regarding how their 

MatchPoint orders are being processed. 

The Exchange believes this will permit 

customers to better manage their order 

flow and trading decisions by being able 

to rely on the MatchPoint system. 

The Commission believes that 

waiving the 30-day operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest. In 

particular, the Commission believes that 

the proposed rule change should clarify 

the functioning of MatchPoint intra-day 

matching sessions in relation to 

automated order entry, correction and 

cancellation capabilities, when locked 

and crossed markets are identified, 

when the MatchPoint system cancels 

unexecuted orders back to the User, and 

when the system disseminates intra-day 

and after hours trade reports. The 

Commission further believes that 

investors should have access to accurate 

information regarding how their 

MatchPoint orders are being processed 

without delay. Accordingly, the 

Commission designates the proposed 

rule change to be operative upon filing 

with the Commission.13

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

the 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. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
