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 EDGA is contingent on the attributed MPID adding (including hidden) and/or routing a minimum average daily share volume, measured monthly, of 50,000* shares on EDGA. Any attributed MPID not meeting the aforementioned minimum will be charged $0.0030 per share for removing liquidity from EDGA (0.20% of dollar value for stocks priced <$1.00). *For the month of July 2010 only, 50,000 average daily volume threshold will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the daily consolidated volumes for each ECN-traded symbol for all days that such symbol is traded on the ECN during the month of July and the denominator of which shall be the monthly consolidated volume for all ECN-traded symbols during the month of July.
Any subscriber adding 10,000,000 shares or more of liquidity to EDGX, where such added liquidity on EDGX is at least 5,000,000 shares greater than the previous calendar month 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 can qualify for a rebate of $0.0032 per share for all liquidity posted on EDGX if they add or route at least 5,000,000* shares of average daily volume prior to 9:30 AM or after 4:00 PM (includes all flags except 6) AND add a minimum of 50,000,000* shares of average daily volume on EDGX in total, including during both market hours and pre and post-trading hours. *For the month of July 2010 only, these average daily volume thresholds (5,000,000 and 50,000,000) will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the daily consolidated volumes for each ECN-traded symbol for all days that such symbol is traded on the ECN during the month of July and the denominator of which shall be the monthly consolidated volume for all ECN-traded symbols during the month of July.
Subscribers will qualify for the Ultra Tier and will be provided a $0.0031 rebate per share for liquidity added on EDGX if the attributed MPID on a daily basis, measured monthly posts 1% of the Total Consolidated Volume ("TCV") in average daily volume. TCV is defined as volume reported by all exchanges and trade reporting facilities to the consolidated transaction reporting plans for Tapes A, B and C securities.
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. *For the month of July 2010 only, the 1,000,000 monthly share volume threshold will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the daily consolidated volumes for each ECN-traded symbol for all days that such symbol is traded on the ECNs druing the month of July and the denominator of which shall be the monthly consolidated volume for all ECN-traded symbols during the month of July.
[3]Stocks priced below $1.00 on the NYSE are charged $0.0021 per share when removing liquidity. Stocks priced below $1.00 are charged 0.10% of the dollar value of the transaction when routed to Nasdaq BX and removing liquidity in Tapes A & C securities. Stocks priced below $1.00 are charged 0.20% of the dollar value of the transaction when routed to Nasdaq and removing liquidity in securities on all Tapes.
[4]Intentionally omitted.
[5] Capped at $10,000 per month per subscriber.
[6] If subscriber posts an average of 100,000 shares or more per day using strategy ROLF (yielding Flag M), then said subscriber's fee when routed to LavaFlow decreases to $0.0023 per share (yielding Flag U).
[7] Subscribers routing an average daily volume ("ADV"): (i) less than 5,000,000 shares will be charged $0.0030 per share, as described in the schedule; (ii) equal to or greater than 5,000,000 shares but less than 20,000,000 shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal tier rate per share; (iii) equal to or greater than 20,000,000 shares but less than 30,000,001 shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal tier rate - $0.0001 per share; and (iv) equal to or greater than 30,000,001 shares will be charged Nasdaq's best removal rate tier rate - $0.0002 per share. The rates in all cases are calculated for shares removed from Nasdaq.
