Self-Regulatory Organizations;

Rule Change Relating to the 

Exchange’s Name Change 

October 25, 2017. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on October 

18, 2017, NASDAQ BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III, below, which Items have been 

prepared by the Exchange. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

rules as well as certain corporate 

documents of the Exchange to reflect 

legal name changes. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s Web site 

at http://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.com/, 

at the principal office of the Exchange, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

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 purpose of this filing is to reflect 

in the Exchange’s governing documents 

(and the governing documents of its 

parent company) 3 and the Exchange’s 

Rulebook a non-substantive corporate 

branding change to the Exchange’s 

name.4 Specifically, current references 

will be changed as follows: 

• References to ‘‘NASDAQ’’ will be 

changed to ‘‘Nasdaq’’. 

• References to ‘‘NASDAQ BX, Inc.’’ 

or ‘‘NASDAQ BX’’ will be changed to 

‘‘Nasdaq BX, Inc.’’ or ‘‘Nasdaq BX’’. 

• References to ‘‘The NASDAQ Stock 

Market LLC’’ or ‘‘NASDAQ Stock 

Market LLC’’ will be changed to ‘‘The 

Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’’. 

• References to ‘‘NASDAQ PHLX 

LLC’’ or ‘‘NASDAQ PHLX’’ will be 

changed to ‘‘Nasdaq PHLX LLC’’ or 

‘‘Nasdaq PHLX’’. 

• References to ‘‘The NASDAQ OMX 

Group, Inc.’’ or ‘‘NASDAQ OMX Group, 

Inc.’’ will be changed to ‘‘Nasdaq, Inc.’’ 5

• In addition to the preceding 

changes, all references to ‘‘OMX’’ will 

be removed from the Rulebook.6

• References to ‘‘NASDAQ Execution 

Services, LLC’’ will be changed to as 

‘‘Nasdaq Execution Services, LLC’’. 

• In all instances where the word 

‘‘the’’ should have been capitalized, 

(e.g., By-Law, Section 4.13(c)), the 

Exchange will make the appropriate 

correction. 

No other changes are being proposed 

in this filing. The Exchange represents 

that these changes are concerned solely 

with the administration of the Exchange 

and do not affect the meaning, 

administration, or enforcement of any 

rules of the Exchange or the rights, 

obligations, or privileges of Exchange 

members or their associated persons in 

any way. Accordingly, this filing is 

being submitted under Rule 19b-4(f)(3). 

In lieu of providing a copy of the 

marked changes, the Exchange 

represents that it will make the 

necessary non-substantive revisions to 

the Certificate of Incorporation, Second 

Amended Limited Liability Company 

Agreement, By-Laws and Rulebook and 

post updated versions of each on the 

Exchange’s Web site pursuant to Rule 

19b–4(m)(2). 

The Exchange notes that the following 

references are not being amended in the 

Exchange’s governing documents and 

the Exchange’s Rulebook: 

• Any name with a trademark (TM) or 

service mark (SM) attached to the name. 

• Any references in the Certificate of 

Incorporation which references a prior 

name of the Exchange and reflects a 

historical date wherein that name was 

in effect. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that its 

proposal is consistent with Section 6(b) 

of the Act,7 in general, and furthers the 

objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8

in particular, in that it is 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 by 

avoiding confusion with the name. The 

Exchange proposes to conform its name 

to that of its parent, Nasdaq Inc., by 

changing the capitalization in the word 

‘‘NASDAQ’’ to ‘‘Nasdaq.’’ The Exchange 

also proposes to amend the names of 

affiliated markets in a similar manner, 

by changing the name ‘‘NASDAQ’’ to 

‘‘Nasdaq.’’ The name change of the 

Exchange as well as other name changes 

to related entities are non-substantive 

changes. No changes to the ownership

or structure of the Exchange have taken 

place. 

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 not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The name 

change will align with the parent 

company, Nasdaq, Inc. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were either 

solicited or received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the 

Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(3) thereunder,10

the Exchange has designated this 

proposal as one that is concerned solely 

with the administration of the selfregulatory organization, and therefore 

has become effective. 

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 shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
