I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes amend the fees applicable to Members,\5\ 
pursuant to IEX Rule 15.110(a) and (c), to revise the fee for an order 
that routes to and removes liquidity on an away exchange at a price 
below $1.00 so that the IEX fee will be the cost charged, or rebate 
paid, by the away exchange plus 0.02% of the total dollar value of the 
execution, instead of the cost charged by the away exchange plus 
$0.0001 per share. No other fee changes are proposed. Changes to the 
Fee Schedule pursuant to this proposal are effective upon filing,\6\ 
and will be operative on January 1, 2025.
