For information on fees charged to ISE members for shares traded on the ISE Stock Exchange, please visit http://www.ise.com/fees.
[1] The removal rate on EDGX and EDGA is contingent on the attributed MPID adding or routing a minimum average daily share volume, measured monthly, of 50,000 shares on either EDGX, EDGA or EDGX and EDGA combined. Any attributed MPID not meeting the aforementioned minimum will be charged $0.0030 per share for removing liquidity from EDGX and EDGA.
Subscribers will qualify for the Super Tier and will be provided a $0.0030 rebate per share for liquidity added on EDGX if the attributed MPID satisfies any of the following three criteria on a daily basis, measured monthly: (i) adding 40,000,000 shares or more on either EDGX, EDGA or EDGX and EDGA combined; (ii) adding 20,000,000 shares or more on either EDGX, EDGA or EDGX and EDGA combined and routing 20,000,000 shares or more through EDGA; or (iii) adding 10,000,000 shares or more of liquidity to EDGX, so long as added liquidity on EDGX is at least 5,000,000 shares greater than the previous calendar month.
Any subscriber only meeting criteria (iii) above that, but for the liquidity added on EDGX, would have qualified for a better rebate with respect to liquidity added on another exchange or ECN that the subscriber has previously qualified for in the prior three calendar months, shall be reimbursed the difference between the rebate received and the rebate potentially received, so long as source documentation evidencing the above is provided to Direct Edge within fifteen (15) calendar days from the end of the relevant month. Subscribers can only receive reimbursement with respect to two consecutive calendar months.
Subscribers will qualify for the Ultra Tier and will be provided a $0.0032 rebate per share for liquidity added on EDGX if the attributed MPID satisfies one of the following criteria on a daily basis, measured monthly: (i) adding 100,000,000 shares or more on EDGX; or (ii) adding 50,000,000 shares or more of liquidity to EDGX, so long as added liquidity on EDGX is at least 20,000,000 shares greater than the previous calendar month. The liquidity required to qualify for criteria (i) above shall be adjusted in the event that Total Consolidated Volume ("TCV"), defined as volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to the consolidated transaction reporting plans for Tape A, B and C securities, falls below an average of 10,000,000,000 shares per day ("Target TCV") in the relevant calendar month. In such circumstances, the adjusted amount of liquidity required to qualify under criteria (i) above shall be the percentage that actual reported TCV represents of Target TCV, multiplied by 100,000,000.
Upon subscriber’s request, Direct Edge may consider aggregation of share volume calculations for wholly owned affiliates on a prospective basis.
[2] Rate contingent upon subscriber adding greater than 1,000,000 shares on a daily basis, measured monthly. Subscribers not meeting this minimum will be charged $0.0030 per share.
[3] "Cost" for removing liquidity (including odd lots) from the NYSE is $0.0018 per share. The rebate for adding liquidity on the NYSE is $0.0010 per share. Stocks priced below $1.00 will not receive any rebate and are charged $0.0018 per share when removing liquidity.
Subscribers routing 20,000,000 shares or more on a daily basis, measured monthly, to Nasdaq through EDGA using order types that are solely eligible for routing to Nasdaq will be charged at $0.0029 per share with respect to EDGA routed volume using said order type. Subscribers routing 30,000,000 shares per day will be charged $0.0028 per share.
[4] $0.000025 rate contingent upon subscriber internalizing greater than 1,000,000 shares on a daily basis, measured monthly. Subscribers not meeting this threshold will be charged $0.00014 per share.
[5]Capped at $10,000 per month per subscriber
[6]Odd-Lot executions on NYSEArca that occur either directly or indirectly (e.g., odd-lot orders routed to NYSEArca via NASDAQ). This charge does not apply to routed round or mixed lots that result in an odd-lot execution.
[7]Free ports are contingent on the Subscriber executing 200,000 shares or more of combined liquidity on EDGX and/or EDGA on a monthly basis, per port. Any port (or number of ports) in excess of this will be charged $50 per port, per month.
