any burden on intramarket competition 

that is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act 

because, while different issuers will be 

eligible for different fee credits, these 

different fee credits are not based on the 

type of listed company but on the 

timing of listing on IEX and, when a 

higher credit is provided, on the listing 

fees already paid to its prior listing 

exchange. As discussed in the Statutory 

Basis section, limiting fee credits to 

companies that issue the required press 

release prior to or within 120 calendar 

days of the first IEX listing is designed 

to incentivize companies to transfer to 

IEX expeditiously in order to gain 

critical mass quickly. Further, providing 

a higher fee credit to companies that 

paid nonrefundable listing fees of more 

than $250,000 to another listing 

exchange during the calendar year in 

which it lists on IEX is designed to 

provide a meaningful incentive to such 

companies to transfer their listing to 

IEX. All similarly situated issuers would 

be treated similarly since the higher 

credit would be based on the amount of 

the listing fee paid.
