( printed page 8822)I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to modify its Fee Schedule, pursuant to IEX Rules 15.110(a) and (c), to change the existing definitions of “Real-Time” and “Delayed” in relation to its proprietary market data feeds, so that the interval that differentiates Delayed IEX Data from Real-Time IEX Data is fifteen (15) minutes instead of fifteen (15) milliseconds. IEX intends to implement the proposed changes beginning on February 1, 2025 to provide an opportunity for Data Subscribers [5] to update their IEX market data subscriptions to suit their particular market data needs.
The proposed rule change, including the Exchange's statement of the purpose of, and statutory basis for, the proposed rule change, is available on the Exchange's website at https://www.iexexchange.io/resources/regulation/rule-filings and on the Commission's website at https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/self-regulatory-organization-rulemaking/national-securities-exchanges?file_number=SR-IEX-2025-01.
