I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Exchange's Pricing Schedule at 
Options 7, Section 3, Regular Order Fees and Rebates, and Options 7, 
Section 4, Complex Order Fees and Rebates.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ On November 13, 2025, the Exchange filed SR-ISE-2025-33. On 
November 20, 2025, the Exchange withdrew SR-ISE-2025-33 and filed 
SR-ISE-2025-35. Subsequently, on November 21, 2025, the Exchange

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's 
website at <a href="https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/ise/rulefilings">https://listingcenter.nasdaq.com/rulebook/ise/rulefilings</a>, 
and at the principal office of the Exchange.

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
    ISE proposes to amend the Pricing Schedule at Options 7, Section 3, 
Regular Order Fees and Rebates, to amend note 15 of Options 7, Section 
3. Further, the Exchange proposes to amend Options 7, Section 4, 
Complex Order Fees and Rebates, to amend: (1) Priority Customer \4\ 
Complex Tiers 8-10 for Select Symbols; \5\ and (2) note 17 of Options 
7, Section 4. Each change is described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ A ``Priority Customer'' is a person or entity that is not a 
broker/dealer in securities, and does not place more than 390 orders 
in listed options per day on average during a calendar month for its 
own beneficial account(s), as defined in Nasdaq ISE Options 1, 
Section 1(a)(37). Unless otherwise noted, when used in this Pricing 
Schedule the term ``Priority Customer'' includes ``Retail'' as 
defined below. See Options 7, Section 1(c).
    \5\ ``Select Symbols'' are options overlying all symbols listed 
on the Nasdaq ISE that are in the Penny Interval Program. See 
Options 7, Section 1(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Priority Customer Rebates
    The Exchange proposes to amend Options 7, Section 4, Complex Order 
Fees and Rebates. Today, the Exchange offers tiered complex order 
Priority Customer rebates for Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols \6\ 
based on the Priority Customer Complex Tier achieved.\7\ The tiered 
complex order

[[Page 57116]]

Priority Customer rebates for Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols are 
presently as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ``Non-Select Symbols'' are options overlying all symbols 
excluding Select Symbols. See Options 7, Section 1(c).
    \7\ Priority Customer Complex Tiers are based on Total 
Affiliated Member or Affiliated Entity Complex Order Volume 
(Excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to Crossing Orders) 
Calculated as a Percentage of Customer Total Consolidated Volume. 
All Complex Order volume executed on the Exchange, including volume 
executed by Affiliated Members, is included in the volume 
calculation, except for volume executed as Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders. Affiliated Entities may aggregate 
their Complex Order volume for purposes of calculating Priority 
Customer Rebates. The Appointed OFP would receive the rebate 
associated with the qualifying volume tier based on aggregated 
volume. See Options 7, Section 4, note 16. As set forth in Options 
7, Section 1(c), an Appointed OFP is an Order Flow Provider who has 
been appointed by a Market Maker for purposes of qualifying as an 
Affiliated Entity.

                                            Priority Customer Rebates
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 Total affiliated member or affiliated
                                                entity complex order volume (excluding
                                                   crossing orders and responses to      Rebate for   Rebate for
        Priority customer complex tier             crossing orders) calculated as a        select     non-select
                                                     percentage of customer total         symbols      symbols
                                                          consolidated volume
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tier 1........................................  0.000%-0.200%.........................      ($0.25)      ($0.50)
Tier 2........................................  Above 0.200%-0.400%...................       (0.30)       (0.60)
Tier 3........................................  Above 0.400%-0.550%...................       (0.40)       (0.80)
Tier 4........................................  Above 0.550%-0.750%...................       (0.45)       (0.85)
Tier 5........................................  Above 0.750%-1.000%...................       (0.46)       (0.90)
Tier 6........................................  Above 1.000%-1.350%...................       (0.48)       (0.95)
Tier 7........................................  Above 1.350%-1.750%...................       (0.54)       (1.00)
Tier 8........................................  Above 1.750%-2.750%...................       (0.55)       (1.10)
Tier 9........................................  Above 2.750%-4.500%...................       (0.56)       (1.12)
Tier 10.......................................  Above 4.500%..........................       (0.57)       (1.15)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The above rebates are provided per contract per leg if the order 
trades with Non-Priority Customer \8\ orders in the complex order book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ ``Non-Priority Customers'' include Market Makers, Non-Nasdaq 
ISE Market Makers (FarMMs), Firm Proprietary/Broker-Dealers, and 
Professional Customers. See Options 1, Section 1(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At this time, the Exchange proposes to amend Priority Customer 
Complex Tiers 8-10 for Select Symbols.
    Currently, the Priority Customer Complex Tier 8 Rebate for Select 
Symbols is $0.55 per contract for Total Affiliated Member or Affiliated 
Entity Complex Order Volume (Excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to 
Crossing Orders) Calculated as a Percentage of Customer Total 
Consolidated Volume (hereinafter ``TCV'') of above 1.750% to 2.750%. 
The Exchange proposes to amend the qualifying TCV to above 1.750% to 
2.25% and increase the Priority Customer Complex Tier 8 Rebate for 
Select Symbols from $0.55 to $0.56 per contract. The Exchange is not 
proposing to amend the $1.10 Rebate for Non-Select Symbols for Tier 8.
    Currently, the Priority Customer Complex Tier 9 Rebate for Select 
Symbols is $0.56 per contract for TCV above 2.750% to 4.500%. The 
Exchange proposes to amend the qualifying TCV to above 2.25% to 4.500% 
and increase the Priority Customer Complex Tier 9 Rebate for Select 
Symbols from $0.56 to $0.58 per contract. The Exchange is not proposing 
to amend the $1.12 Rebate for Non-Select Symbols for Tier 9.
    Currently, the Priority Customer Complex Tier 10 Rebate for Select 
Symbols is $0.57 per contract for TCV above 4.500%. The Exchange 
proposes to increase the Priority Customer Complex Tier 10 Rebate for 
Select Symbols from $0.57 to $0.59 per contract. The Exchange is not 
proposing to amend the qualifying TCV or the $1.15 Rebate for Non-
Select Symbols for Tier 10.
    Increasing the Priority Customer Complex Tiers 8 through 10 rebates 
for Select Symbols while also amending the qualifying TCV so that 
volume that currently qualifies for Tier 8 would qualify for Tier 9 
would permit Members to receive increased rebates if they send the same 
amount of complex order flow as they do today. Further, some Members 
may also qualify for a higher tier. Overall, the Exchange believes that 
the proposed changes to Priority Customer Complex Tiers 8 through 10 
for Select Symbols will attract more complex order flow to ISE because 
Members may be incentivized to send more complex orders to ISE to 
receive the increased rebates.
Note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and Note 17 of Options 7, Section 4
    Today, note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 states that Members that 
execute more than 0.10% of Regular Order \9\ Non-Select Symbol Priority 
Customer Volume (excluding Crossing Orders \10\ and Responses to 
Crossing Orders \11\) calculated as a percentage of Customer Total 
Consolidated Volume per day in a given month receive an additional 
rebate of $0.18 per contract. Members that meet the foregoing volume 
requirement are also eligible to receive the Section 4 Priority 
Customer Complex Order rebates in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols 
that apply to one tier higher than the tier for which they currently 
qualify, except Members that already qualify for the highest Priority 
Customer Complex Tier in Section 4 will instead receive an additional 
rebate of $0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ A ``Regular Order'' is an order that consists of only a 
single option series and is not submitted with a stock leg. See 
Options 7, Section 1(c).
    \10\ A ``Crossing Order'' is an order executed in the Exchange's 
Facilitation Mechanism, Solicited Order Mechanism, Price Improvement 
Mechanism (PIM) or submitted as a Qualified Contingent Cross order. 
For purposes of this Pricing Schedule, orders executed in the Block 
Order Mechanism are also considered Crossing Orders. See Options 7, 
Section 1(c).
    \11\ ``Responses to Crossing Order'' is any contra-side interest 
submitted after the commencement of an auction in the Exchange's 
Facilitation Mechanism, Solicited Order Mechanism, Block Order 
Mechanism or PIM. See Options 7, Section 1(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, note 17 of Options 7, Section 4 states that, Members that 
execute more than 0.10% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol Priority 
Customer Volume (excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to Crossing 
Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer Total Consolidated 
Volume per day in a given month are eligible to receive the Priority 
Customer Complex Order rebates in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols 
that apply to one tier higher than the tier for which they currently 
qualify, except Members that already qualify for the highest Priority 
Customer Complex Tier will instead receive an additional rebate of 
$0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols.
    At this time, the Exchange proposes to amend the qualifications for 
the incentives at note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and note 17 of 
Options 7, Section 4 by increasing the volume thresholds from 0.10% to 
0.25% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol

[[Page 57117]]

Priority Customer volume on ISE (excluding Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer 
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month.
    While the Exchange is increasing the volume threshold in the note 
15 incentive at Options 7, Section 3, the Exchange is not amending the 
ability to receive an additional rebate of $0.18 per contract, or to be 
eligible to receive the Section 4 Priority Customer Complex Order 
rebates in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier 
higher than the tier for which they currently qualify, or the 
additional rebate of $0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-
Select Symbols for Members that already qualify for the highest 
Priority Customer Complex Tier in Section 4. The Exchange believes that 
the note 15 incentive will continue to attract Regular Order Non-Select 
Symbol Priority Customer order flow to the Exchange.
    Further, while the Exchange is increasing the volume threshold in 
the note 17 incentive at Options 7, Section 4, the Exchange is not 
amending the ability to receive the Priority Customer Complex Order 
rebates in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier 
higher than the tier for which they currently qualify, or the 
additional rebate of $0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-
Select Symbols for Members that already qualify for the highest 
Priority Customer Complex Tier. The Exchange believes that the note 17 
incentive will continue to attract Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer order flow to the Exchange.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section 
6(b) of the Act,\12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of 
Sections 6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in that it 
provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 
other charges among members and issuers and other persons using any 
facility, and is not designed to permit unfair discrimination between 
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange's proposed changes to its Pricing Schedule are 
reasonable in several respects. As a threshold matter, the Exchange is 
subject to significant competitive forces in the market for options 
securities transaction services that constrain its pricing 
determinations in that market. The fact that this market is competitive 
has long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v. Securities 
and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows: ``[n]o one 
disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . . As the SEC 
explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and sellers of 
securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-routing 
agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders for 
execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share 
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly, 
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker 
dealers'. . . .'' \14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ NetCoalition v. SEC, 615 F.3d 525, 539 (D.C. Cir. 2010) 
(quoting Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2, 
2008), 73 FR 74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-
21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission and the courts have repeatedly expressed their 
preference for competition over regulatory intervention in determining 
prices, products, and services in the securities markets. In Regulation 
NMS, while adopting a series of steps to improve the current market 
model, the Commission highlighted the importance of market forces in 
determining prices and SRO revenues and, also, recognized that current 
regulation of the market system ``has been remarkably successful in 
promoting market competition in its broader forms that are most 
important to investors and listed companies.'' \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51808 (June 9, 2005), 
70 FR 37496, 37499 (June 29, 2005) (``Regulation NMS Adopting 
Release'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Numerous indicia demonstrate the competitive nature of this market. 
For example, clear substitutes to the Exchange exist in the market for 
options security transaction services. The Exchange is only one of 
eighteen options exchanges to which market participants may direct 
their order flow. Within this environment, market participants can 
freely and often do shift their order flow among the Exchange and 
competing venues in response to changes in their respective pricing 
schedules. As such, the proposal represents a reasonable attempt by the 
Exchange to increase its liquidity and market share relative to its 
competitors.
Priority Customer Rebates
    The Exchange's proposal to increase Priority Customer Complex Tiers 
8 through 10 rebates for Select Symbols is reasonable because the 
increased rebates are designed to attract more complex order flow to 
ISE to the benefit of all market participants. Increasing the Priority 
Customer Complex Tiers 8 through 10 rebates for Select Symbols while 
also amending the qualifying TCV so that volume that currently 
qualifies for Tier 8 would qualify for Tier 9 would permit Members to 
receive increased rebates if they send the same amount of complex order 
flow as they do today. Further, some Members may also qualify for a 
higher tier. Overall, the Exchange believes that the proposed changes 
to Priority Customer Complex Tiers 8 through 10 for Select Symbols will 
attract more complex order flow to ISE because Members may be 
incentivized to send more complex orders to ISE to receive the 
increased rebates.
    The Exchange's proposal to increase Priority Customer Complex Tiers 
8 through 10 Rebates for Select Symbols is equitable and not unfairly 
discriminatory as the proposed changes are intended to increase 
Priority Customer complex order flow to ISE. Offering Priority Customer 
order rebates is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory as Priority 
Customer liquidity benefits all market participants. An increase in 
Priority Customer order flow enhances liquidity on the Exchange to the 
benefit of all market participants by providing more trading 
opportunities, which in turn attracts Market Makers and other market 
participants that may interact with this order flow.
Note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and Note 17 of Options 7, Section 4
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the qualification for the 
incentive at note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 by increasing the volume 
threshold from 0.10% to 0.25% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer volume on ISE (excluding Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer 
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month is reasonable 
because while the Exchange is increasing the volume threshold in the 
note 15 incentive at Options 7, Section 3, the Exchange is not amending 
the ability to receive the Priority Customer Complex Order rebates in 
Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier higher 
than the tier for which they currently qualify, or the additional 
rebate of $0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols 
for Members that already qualify for the highest Priority Customer 
Complex Tier in Section 4. The Exchange believes that the note 15 
incentive will continue to attract Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer order flow to the Exchange.

[[Page 57118]]

    The Exchange's proposal to amend the qualification for the 
incentive at note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 by increasing the volume 
threshold from 0.10% to 0.25% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer volume on ISE (excluding Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer 
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month is equitable and not 
unfairly discriminatory because the Exchange will apply the note 15 
incentive uniformly to all similarly situated market participants. The 
Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory 
to offer the note 15 incentive to only Priority Customer orders because 
Priority Customer liquidity benefits all market participants by 
providing more trading opportunities, which attracts Market Makers. An 
increase in the activity of these market participants in turn 
facilitates tighter spreads, which may cause an additional 
corresponding increase in order flow from other market participants.
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the qualification for the 
incentive at note 17 of Options 7, Section 4 by increasing the volume 
threshold from 0.10% to 0.25% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer volume on ISE (excluding Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer 
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month is reasonable 
because while the Exchange is increasing the volume threshold in the 
note 17 incentive at Options 7, Section 4, the Exchange is not amending 
the ability to receive the Priority Customer Complex Order rebates in 
Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols that apply to one tier higher 
than the tier for which they currently qualify, or the additional 
rebate of $0.01 per contract in Select Symbols and Non-Select Symbols 
for Members that already qualify for the highest Priority Customer 
Complex Tier. The Exchange believes that the note 17 incentive will 
continue to attract Regular Order Non-Select Symbol Priority Customer 
order flow to the Exchange.
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the qualification for the 
incentive at note 17 of Options 7, Section 4 by increasing the volume 
threshold from 0.10% to 0.25% of Regular Order Non-Select Symbol 
Priority Customer volume on ISE (excluding Crossing Orders and 
Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated as a percentage of Customer 
Total Consolidated Volume per day in a given month is equitable and not 
unfairly discriminatory because the Exchange will apply the note 17 
incentive uniformly to all similarly situated market participants. The 
Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory 
to offer the note 17 incentive to only Priority Customer orders because 
Priority Customer liquidity benefits all market participants by 
providing more trading opportunities, which attracts Market Makers. An 
increase in the activity of these market participants in turn 
facilitates tighter spreads, which may cause an additional 
corresponding increase in order flow from other market participants.

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. In terms of intra-market 
competition, the Exchange does not believe that its proposal will place 
any category of market participant at a competitive disadvantage.
Priority Customer Rebates
    While the proposed changes to the complex order rebates described 
above apply directly to Priority Customer orders, the Exchange believes 
that the changes will ultimately fortify and encourage activity on the 
Exchange to the extent the proposed changes incentivize increased 
Priority Customer complex order flow to ISE. Offering Priority Customer 
rebates does not impose an undue burden on competition as Priority 
Customer liquidity benefits all market participants by providing more 
trading opportunities, which attracts market makers. An increase in 
Priority Customer order flow enhances liquidity on the Exchange to the 
benefit of all market participants by providing more trading 
opportunities, which in turn attracts Market Makers and other market 
participants that may interact with this order flow.
Note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and Note 17 of Options 7, Section 4
    The Exchange's proposal to amend the qualifications for the 
incentives at note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and note 17 of Options 7, 
Section 4 by increasing the volume thresholds from 0.10% to 0.25% of 
Regular Order Non-Select Symbol Priority Customer volume on ISE 
(excluding Crossing Orders and Responses to Crossing Orders) calculated 
as a percentage of Customer Total Consolidated Volume per day in a 
given month does not impose an undue burden on competition because the 
Exchange will apply the note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and the note 17 
of Options 7, Section 4 incentives uniformly to all similarly situated 
market participants. Offering the note 15 of Options 7, Section 3 and 
note 17 of Options 7, Section 4 incentives to only Priority Customer 
orders does not impose an undue burden on competition because Priority 
Customer liquidity benefits all market participants by providing more 
trading opportunities, which attracts Market Makers. An increase in the 
activity of these market participants in turn facilitates tighter 
spreads, which may cause an additional corresponding increase in order 
flow from other market participants.
    In terms of inter-market competition, the Exchange notes that it 
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants 
can readily favor competing venues if they deem fee levels at a 
particular venue to be excessive, or rebate opportunities available at 
other venues to be more favorable. In such an environment, the Exchange 
must continually adjust its fees to remain competitive with other 
exchanges. Because competitors are free to modify their own fees in 
response, and because market participants may readily adjust their 
order routing practices, the Exchange believes that the degree to which 
fee changes in this market may impose any burden on competition is 
extremely limited. In sum, if the changes proposed herein are 
unattractive to market participants, it is likely that the Exchange 
will lose market share as a result. Accordingly, the Exchange does not 
believe that the proposed changes will impair the ability of members or 
competing order execution venues to maintain their competitive standing 
in the financial markets.
