of Amendment No. 2 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a 
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, To Adopt New Rule 
5.2(j)(9) To Permit the Generic Listing and Trading of Class Exchange-

April 8, 2026.
    On February 12, 2026, NYSE Texas, Inc. (``NYSE Texas'' or 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities

proposed rule change to adopt new NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) to permit 
the generic listing and trading of Class Exchange-Traded Fund Shares. 
On February 23, 2026, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1, which amended 
and replaced the proposed rule change in its entirety. The proposed

comments on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, 
from interested persons and to grant approval of the proposed rule 
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, on an accelerated basis.

I. The Exchange's Description of the Proposal, as Modified by Amendment 
No. 2

    The Exchange proposes to (1) adopt a new Rule 5.2(j)(9) to permit 
the generic listing and trading of Class Exchange-Traded Fund (``ETF'') 
Shares, and (2) make certain conforming changes to the Exchange's rules 
to accommodate the proposed listing of Class ETF Shares. This Amendment 
No. 2 to SR-NYSETEX-2026-05 replaces SR-NYSETEX-2026-05 and Amendment 
No. 1 thereto as originally filed and supersedes such filings in their 
entirety.
    The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website at 
<a href="http://www.nyse.com">www.nyse.com</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 self-regulatory organization 
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to (1) adopt a new Rule 5.2(j)(9) to permit 
the generic listing and trading, or trading pursuant to unlisted 
trading privileges, of Class ETF Shares, and (2) make certain 
conforming changes to the Exchange's rules to accommodate the proposed 
listing of Class ETF Shares.
    Consistent with other products (specifically, Investment Company 
Units listed pursuant to Rule 5.2(j)(3), Managed Fund Shares listed 
pursuant to Rule 8.600, and ETF Shares listed pursuant to Rule 
5.2(j)(8)), Class ETF Shares would be permitted to be listed and traded 
on the Exchange without prior Commission approval order or notice of 
effectiveness pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Rule 19b-4(e)(1) provides that the listing and trading of a 
new derivative securities product by a self-regulatory organization 
(``SRO'') is not deemed a proposed rule change, pursuant to 
paragraph (c)(1) of Rule 19b-4, if the Commission has approved, 
pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act, the SRO's trading rules, 
procedures and listing standards for the product class that would 
include the new derivative securities product and the SRO has a 
surveillance program for the product class. As contemplated by 
proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), the Exchange proposes to establish generic 
listing standards for Class ETF Shares of the ETF Class (as defined 
herein) that would be required to operate as an ETF pursuant to the 
Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief (as defined herein) and be in 
compliance with the conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ``Investment Company Act''), 
except as noted in the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief. Class ETF 
Shares listed under proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) would therefore not need 
a separate proposed rule change pursuant to Rule 19b-4 before it can 
be listed and traded on the Exchange.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 18940]]

    As further discussed below, proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) is based on 
Rule 5.2-E(j)(9) of the Exchange's affiliated exchange, NYSE Arca, Inc. 
(``NYSE Arca''), with only certain non-substantive conforming changes 
to replace internal references to NYSE Arca rules with references to 
the corresponding NYSE Texas rules.
Proposed Rule Change
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(a) would provide that the Exchange will 
consider for trading, whether by listing or pursuant to unlisted 
trading privileges, Class ETF Shares that meet the criteria of the 
proposed rule.\6\ Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(a) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 
5.2-E(a)(j)(9)(a) without any changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ To the extent that Class ETF Shares do not satisfy one or 
more of the criteria in proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), the Exchange may 
file a separate proposal under Section 19(b) of the Act in order to 
list such securities on the Exchange. Any of the statements or 
representations in that proposal regarding the index composition, 
the description of the portfolio or reference assets, limitations on 
portfolio holdings or reference assets, dissemination and 
availability of index, reference asset, and intraday indicative 
values (as applicable), or the applicability of Exchange listing 
rules specified in any filing to list such Class ETF Shares shall 
constitute continued listing requirements for the Class ETF Shares. 
Further, in the event that Class ETF Shares become listed under 
proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) and subsequently can no longer satisfy the 
requirements of proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), such Class ETF Shares may 
be listed as Investment Company Units pursuant to Rule 5.2(j)(3) or 
Managed Fund Shares under Rule 8.600, as applicable, as long as the 
Class ETF Shares meet all listing requirements applicable under the 
alternate listing rule. If the Class ETF Shares do change listing 
standards, the Exchange would have to comply with all requirements 
of Rule 19b-4(e) with respect to such Class ETF Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(b), titled ``Applicability,'' would provide 
that the proposed rule would be applicable only to Class ETF Shares. 
Except to the extent inconsistent with proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), or 
unless the context otherwise requires, the rules and procedures of the 
Board of Directors shall be applicable to the trading on the Exchange 
of such securities. Class ETF Shares are included within the definition 
of ``security'' or ``securities'' as such terms are used in the Rules 
of the Exchange. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(b) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 
5.2-E(j)(9)(b) without any changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c), titled ``Definitions,'' would set forth 
the meanings of terms as used in the Rule unless the context otherwise 
requires. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-
E(j)(9)(c) with only non-substantive changes as noted below.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(1) would provide that the term ``Class 
ETF Shares'' means shares of the ETF Class issued by a Multi-Class 
Fund. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(1) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-
E(j)(9)(c)(1) without any changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(2) would provide that the term ``ETF 
Class'' means the class of exchange-traded shares of a Multi-Class Fund 
that (i) operates as an exchange-traded fund pursuant to exemptive 
relief granted by order under the Investment Company Act (``Multi-Class 
Fund Exemptive Relief''), and (ii) is in compliance with the 
requirements of Rules 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1)(ii) and 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(A)(ii) 
discussed below on an initial and continued listing basis. Proposed 
Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(2) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(c)(2) with 
only non-substantive changes to update internal references to refer to 
NYSE Texas rules rather than NYSE Arca rules.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(3) would provide that the term ``Multi-
Class Fund'' means a registered open-end management company that (i) 
pursuant to Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, issues Class ETF Shares 
and one or more classes of shares that are not exchange traded, and 
(ii) is in compliance with the conditions and requirements of the 
Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(3) is 
based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(c)(3) without any changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(c)(4) would provide that the term 
``Reporting Authority'' in respect of a particular Multi-Class Fund 
means the Exchange, an institution, or a reporting service designated 
by the Exchange or by the exchange that lists Class ETF Shares (if the 
Exchange is trading such securities pursuant to unlisted trading 
privileges) as the official source for calculating and reporting 
information relating to such Multi-Class Fund, including, but not 
limited to, the amount of any dividend equivalent payment or cash 
distribution to holders of Class ETF Shares, net asset value, index or 
portfolio value, the current value of the portfolio of securities 
required to be deposited in connection with the issuance of Class ETF 
Shares, or other information relating to the issuance, redemption or 
trading of Class ETF Shares. A Multi-Class Fund may have more than one 
Reporting Authority, each having different functions. Proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(c)(4) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(c)(4) without 
any changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(d), titled ``Limitation of Exchange 
Liability,'' would provide that neither the Exchange, the Reporting 
Authority, nor any agent of the Exchange shall have any liability for 
damages, claims, losses or expenses caused by any errors, omissions, or 
delays in calculating or disseminating any current index or portfolio 
value; the current value of the portfolio of securities required to be 
deposited to the Multi-Class Fund in connection with the issuance of 
Class ETF Shares; the amount of any dividend equivalent payment or cash 
distribution to holders of Class ETF Shares; net asset value; or other 
information relating to the purchase, redemption, or trading of Class 
ETF Shares, resulting from any negligent act or omission by the 
Exchange, the Reporting Authority, or any agent of the Exchange, or any 
act, condition, or cause beyond the reasonable control of the Exchange, 
its agent, or the Reporting Authority, including, but not limited to, 
an act of God; fire; flood; extraordinary weather conditions; war; 
insurrection; riot; strike; accident; action of government; 
communications or power failure; equipment or software malfunction; or 
any error, omission, or delay in the reports of transactions in one or 
more underlying securities. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(d) is based on NYSE 
Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(d) without any changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e) would provide that the Exchange may 
approve Class ETF Shares of a Multi-Class Fund for listing and/or 
trading (including pursuant to unlisted trading privileges) pursuant to 
Rule 19b-4(e) of the Act. For each listed Class ETF Shares, the ETF 
Class and the Multi-Class Fund issuing the Class ETF Shares, as 
applicable, must satisfy the requirements of Rule 5.2(j)(9) upon 
initial listing and, except for subparagraph (1)(A) of Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(e), on a continuing basis. An issuer of such securities must 
notify the Exchange of any failure to comply with such requirements. 
Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(e) 
with only a non-substantive change to update an internal reference to 
refer to the NYSE Texas rule rather than the NYSE Arca rule.

[[Page 18941]]

    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1), titled ``Initial and Continued 
Listing,'' would provide that Class ETF Shares will be listed and 
traded on the Exchange provided that: (i) the Multi-Class Fund is 
eligible to operate an ETF Class as an exchange-traded fund pursuant 
to, and is otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of, 
the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; (ii) the ETF Class is in 
compliance with the conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the 
Investment Company Act, except as noted in such Multi-Class Fund 
Exemptive Relief; and (iii) the ETF Class and the Multi-Class Fund each 
satisfies the requirements of this Rule, as applicable, on an initial 
and continued listing basis. Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1)(A), titled 
``Initial Shares Outstanding,'' would provide that the Exchange will 
establish a minimum number of Class ETF Shares required to be 
outstanding at the time of commencement of trading on the Exchange. 
Proposed Rules 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1) and 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1)(A) are based on NYSE 
Arca Rules 5.2-E(j)(9)(e)(1) and 5.2-E(j)(9)(e)(1)(A) without any 
changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2), titled ``Suspension of trading or 
removal,'' would provide that the Exchange will consider the suspension 
of trading in, and will commence delisting proceedings under Article 
22, Rule 4 of, Class ETF Shares under any of the following 
circumstances:
    <bullet> if the Exchange becomes aware that with respect to the 
Class ETF Shares: (i) the Multi-Class Fund is no longer eligible to 
operate an ETF Class as an exchange-traded fund pursuant to, or is 
otherwise no longer in compliance with the terms and conditions of, the 
Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; or (ii) the ETF Class is no longer 
in compliance with the conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under 
the Investment Company Act, except as noted in such Multi-Class Fund 
Exemptive Relief (proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(A));
    <bullet> if any of the other listing requirements set forth in 
proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) are not continuously maintained (proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(B));
    <bullet> if, following the initial twelve-month period after 
commencement of trading on the Exchange of Class ETF Shares, there are 
fewer than 50 beneficial holders of Class ETF Shares (proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(C)); or
    <bullet> if such other event shall occur or condition exists which, 
in the opinion of the Exchange, makes further dealings on the Exchange 
inadvisable (proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(D)).
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2) and the subparagraphs thereunder are 
based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(e)(2) and its subparagraphs with 
only non-substantive changes to update internal references to refer to 
NYSE Texas rules rather than NYSE Arca rules.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(f) would provide that transactions in Class 
ETF Shares will occur during the trading hours specified in Rule 
7.34(a). Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(f) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-
E(j)(9)(f) with only a non-substantive change to update an internal 
reference to refer to the NYSE Texas rule rather than the NYSE Arca 
rule.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(g), titled ``Surveillance Procedures,'' 
would provide that the Exchange will implement and maintain written 
surveillance procedures for Class ETF Shares. Proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(g) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(g) without any 
changes.
    Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(h), titled ``Termination,'' would provide 
that with respect to the Class ETF Shares, upon termination of the 
Multi-Class Fund or the ETF Class, as the case may be, the Exchange 
requires that the Class ETF Shares be removed from Exchange listing. 
Proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(h) is based on NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(9)(h) 
without any changes.
    The Exchange proposes to add Commentary .01 to proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9). Proposed Commentary .01 to Rule 5.2(j)(9) would provide that 
the following requirements shall be met by Class ETF Shares on an 
initial and continued listing basis. Proposed Commentary .01 and the 
subparagraphs thereunder are based on Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 
5.2-E(j)(9) and its subparagraphs without any changes.
    Subsection (a)(1) of proposed Commentary .01 would provide that 
with respect to Class ETF Shares based on an index, if the underlying 
index is maintained by a broker-dealer or fund adviser, the broker-
dealer or fund adviser will erect and maintain a ``fire wall'' around 
the personnel who have access to information concerning changes and 
adjustments to the index and the index will be calculated by a third 
party who is not a broker-dealer or fund adviser.
    Subsection (a)(2) of proposed Commentary .01 would provide that any 
advisory committee, supervisory board, or similar entity that advises a 
Reporting Authority (as defined in the proposed rule) or that makes 
decisions on the index composition, methodology and related matters, 
must implement and maintain, or be subject to, procedures designed to 
prevent the use and dissemination of material non-public information 
regarding the applicable index.
    Subsection (b) of proposed Commentary .01 would provide that with 
respect to a Multi-Class Fund that is actively managed, if the 
investment adviser to the Multi-Class Fund issuing Class ETF Shares is 
affiliated with a broker-dealer, such investment adviser will erect and 
maintain a ``fire wall'' between the investment adviser and the broker-
dealer with respect to access to information concerning the composition 
and/or changes to such Multi-Class Fund's portfolio. Further, personnel 
who make decisions on the portfolio composition must be subject to 
procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material 
non-public information regarding the applicable portfolio. The 
Reporting Authority that provides information relating to the Multi-
Class Fund's portfolio must also implement and maintain, or be subject 
to, procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of 
material non-public information regarding the actual components of such 
portfolio.
Proposed Conforming Changes
    The Exchange proposes to add Class ETF Shares to the definition of 
``Derivative Securities Product and UTP Derivative Securities Product'' 
in Rule 1.1(k). This proposed change would align the treatment of Class 
ETF Shares with how other exchange-traded products are treated under 
the Exchange's rules. The proposed changes to Rule 1.1(k) would also 
align with the inclusion of Class ETF Shares in the definition of 
``Derivative Securities Product and UTP Derivative Securities Product'' 
in NYSE Arca Rule 1.1.
Discussion
    The Exchange will monitor for compliance to ensure that (i) the 
Multi-Class Fund is, and continues to be, eligible to operate an ETF 
Class as an exchange-traded fund pursuant to, and is in otherwise in 
compliance with, the terms and conditions of, the Multi-Class Fund 
Exemptive Relief, (ii) the ETF Class continues to be compliant with the 
conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company 
Act, except as noted in such Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, and 
(iii) the ETF Class and the Multi-Class Fund each satisfies the 
requirements of Rule 5.2(j)(9), as applicable, on an initial and 
continuing basis. Specifically, the Exchange will review the website of 
Class ETF Shares listed on the Exchange in order to ensure that the 
requirements of Rule 6c-11 are being met. The Exchange will also employ 
numerous

[[Page 18942]]

intraday alerts that will notify Exchange personnel of trading activity 
throughout the day that is potentially indicative of certain 
disclosures not being made timely or the presence of other unusual 
conditions or circumstances that could be detrimental to the 
maintenance of a fair and orderly market. As a backstop to the 
surveillances described above, the Exchange also notes that Rule 
5.2(j)(9) would require an issuer of Class ETF Shares to notify the 
Exchange of any failure to comply with the requirements of the proposed 
Rule, the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, or Rule 6c-11 under the 
Investment Company Act.
    The Exchange may suspend trading in and commence delisting 
proceedings for Class ETF Shares where such securities are not in 
compliance with the applicable listing standards or where the Exchange 
believes that further dealings on the Exchange are inadvisable.\7\ The 
Exchange also notes that proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e) requires any issuer 
to provide the Exchange with prompt notification after it becomes aware 
that: (i) the Multi-Class Fund is no longer eligible to operate an ETF 
Class as an exchange-traded fund pursuant to, or otherwise no longer 
complies with, the terms and conditions of, the Multi-Class Fund 
Exemptive Relief; (ii) the ETF Class is no longer compliant with the 
conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company 
Act, except as noted in such Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; or 
(iii) the ETF Class or the Multi-Class Fund no longer satisfies the 
requirements of proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), as applicable, on an initial 
and continuing basis.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Specifically, proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(1) provides that 
Class ETF Shares will be listed and traded on the Exchange subject 
to application of proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2). Proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(e)(2) provides that the Exchange will consider the 
suspension of trading in, and will commence delisting proceedings 
under Article 22, Rule 4 for, Class ETF Shares under any of the 
following circumstances: (i) if the Exchange becomes aware, with 
respect to the Class ETF Shares: (1) the Multi-Class Fund is no 
longer eligible to operate an ETF Class as an exchange-traded fund 
pursuant to, or is otherwise no longer in compliance with the terms 
and conditions of, the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; or (2) the 
ETF Class is no longer in compliance with the conditions and 
requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act, except 
as noted in such Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; (ii) if any of 
the other listing requirements set forth in this Rule are not 
continuously maintained; (iii) if, following the initial twelve-
month period after commencement of trading on the Exchange of Class 
ETF Shares, there are fewer than 50 beneficial holders of such the 
Class ETF Shares; or (iv) if such other event shall occur or 
condition exists which, in the opinion of the Exchange, makes 
further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable. Proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(h) provides that with respect to the Class ETF Shares, 
upon termination of the Multi-Class Fund or the ETF Class, as the 
case may be, the Exchange requires that Class ETF Shares be removed 
from Exchange listing.
    \8\ The Exchange notes that failure by an issuer to notify the 
Exchange of non-compliance pursuant to proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e) 
would itself be considered non-compliance with the requirements of 
Rule 5.2(j)(9) and would subject the Class ETF Shares to potential 
trading halts and the delisting process under Article 22, Rule 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, the Exchange also represents that its surveillance 
procedures are adequate to properly monitor the trading of the Class 
ETF Shares in all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations 
of Exchange rules and applicable federal securities laws. Specifically, 
the Exchange intends to utilize its existing surveillance procedures 
applicable to derivative products, which are currently applicable to 
Investment Company Units, Managed Fund Shares, and ETF Shares, among 
other product types, to monitor trading in Class ETF Shares on the 
Exchange. The Exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, 
Inc. (``FINRA''), on behalf of the Exchange, will communicate as needed 
regarding trading in Class ETF Shares and certain of their applicable 
underlying components with other markets that are members of the 
Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG'') or with which the Exchange has 
in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. In addition, 
the Exchange may obtain information regarding trading in Class ETF 
Shares and certain of their applicable underlying components from 
markets and other entities that are members of ISG or with which the 
Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. 
Additionally, FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, is able to access trade 
information for certain fixed income securities that may be held by a 
Multi-Class Fund for the Class ETF Shares reported to FINRA's Trade 
Reporting and Compliance Engine. FINRA also can access data obtained 
from the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Electronic Municipal 
Market Access system relating to municipal bond trading activity for 
surveillance purposes in connection with trading in Class ETF Shares, 
to the extent that the Multi-Class Fund for the Class ETF Shares holds 
municipal securities. Finally, the issuer of Class ETF Shares will be 
required to comply with Rule 10A-3 under the Act for the initial and 
continued listing of Class ETF Shares.
    The Exchange notes that it may consider all relevant factors in 
exercising its discretion to halt or suspend trading in Class ETF 
Shares. Trading may be halted if the circuit breaker parameters in Rule 
7.12 have been reached, because of other market conditions, or for 
reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in the Shares 
inadvisable. These may include: (1) the extent to which certain 
information about the Class ETF Shares that is required to be disclosed 
under Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act is not being made 
available, including specifically where the Exchange becomes aware that 
the net asset value or the daily portfolio disclosure with respect to 
Class ETF Shares is not disseminated to all market participants at the 
same time, it will halt trading in such securities until such time as 
the net asset value or the daily portfolio disclosure is available to 
all market participants; \9\ (2) if an interruption to the 
dissemination to the value of the index or reference asset on which 
Class ETF Shares is based persists past the trading day in which it 
occurred or is no longer calculated or available; (3) trading in the 
securities comprising the underlying index or portfolio has been halted 
in the primary market(s); or (4) whether other unusual conditions or 
circumstances detrimental to the maintenance of a fair and orderly 
market are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of 
Class ETF Shares that the net asset value per share will be 
calculated daily and made available to all market participants at 
the same time, and the requirements pertaining to the Multi-Class 
Fund Exemptive Relief and Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company 
Act in proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) will be satisfied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange deems Class ETF Shares to be equity securities and 
therefore they would be subject to the full panoply of Exchange rules 
and procedures that currently govern the trading of equity securities 
on the Exchange.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ With respect to trading in Class ETF Shares, the Exchange 
represents that all ETP Holder obligations relating to product 
description and prospectus delivery requirements will continue to 
apply in accordance with the Exchange's rules and federal securities 
laws, and the Exchange will continue to monitor ETP Holders for 
compliance with such requirements, which are not changing as a 
result of the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief order issued under 
the Investment Company Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the 
Act,\11\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 
6(b)(5),\12\ 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

[[Page 18943]]

general to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9) would promote just 
and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, and perfect 
the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system, 
and protect investors and the public interest by establishing generic 
standards for listing and trading of Class ETF Shares. Proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9) would allow Class ETF Shares that meet the requirements of 
the Rule to be listed and traded on the Exchange without prior 
Commission approval order or notice of effectiveness pursuant to 
Section 19(b) of the Act. Accordingly, the proposed rule change would 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, 
and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national 
market system, and protect investors and the public interest because it 
would facilitate efficient procedures for listing Class ETF Shares that 
meet the requirements of proposed Rule 5.2(j)(9), thereby reducing the 
time, resources, and costs associated with bringing new series of Class 
ETF Shares to market and promoting competition among issuers of such 
products, to the benefit of the market participants. In addition, the 
Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would further the 
intended objective of Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act by permitting Class 
ETF Shares that satisfy the proposed listing standards in proposed Rule 
5.2(j)(9) to be listed and traded without separate Commission approval.
    The Exchange further believes that the proposed changes would 
promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to, 
and perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market and a national 
market system, and protect investors and the public interest because 
the proposed rules are based on the rules of the Exchange's affiliated 
market, NYSE Arca, which rules have been approved by the Commission. 
Accordingly, the proposed rule changes would facilitate the Exchange's 
ability to list and trade Class ETF Shares under generic listing 
standards identical to NYSE Arca's. The Exchange also believes that the 
proposed rule change would remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system by 
promoting consistency across the rules of affiliated exchanges.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Instead, the Exchange 
believes that the proposed rule change would facilitate the listing and 
trading of Class ETF Shares through an efficient process that would 
enhance competition among market participants, to the benefit of 
investors and the marketplace. The Exchange believes that the proposed 
generic listing standards in Rule 5.2(j)(9) would reduce the timeframe 
for bringing additional series of Class ETF Shares to market, thereby 
reducing the burdens on issuers and other market participants and 
promoting competition among issuers of such products.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the 
proposed rule change.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule 
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent with the Act and 
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national 
securities exchange.\13\ In particular, the Commission finds that the 
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent 
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\14\ which requires, among other 
things, that the Exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and 
manipulative acts and practices, to remove impediments to and perfect 
the mechanism of a free and open market, and, in general, to protect 
investors and the public interest. The Commission also finds that the 
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent 
with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act, which sets forth Congress' 
finding that it is in the public interest and appropriate for the 
protection of investors and the maintenance of fair and orderly markets 
to assure the availability to brokers, dealers, and investors of 
information with respect to quotations for and transactions in 
securities.\15\ In addition, the Commission finds that the proposed 
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent with Section 
6(b)(1) of the Act,\16\ which requires, among other things, that the 
Exchange is so organized and has the capacity to be able to enforce 
compliance by its members and persons associated with its members with 
the rules of the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ In approving this proposed rule change, as modified by 
Amendment No. 2, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's 
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 
U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \15\ See 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to adopt new NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) to 
permit the generic listing and trading, or trading pursuant to unlisted 
trading privileges, of Class ETF Shares in connection with the Multi-
Class Fund Exemptive Relief granted by order under the Investment 
Company Act.\17\ Under the proposal and pursuant to the Multi-Class 
Fund Exemptive Relief, a Multi-Class Fund is permitted to issue a class 
of shares that are exchange-traded (i.e., ETF Class) and one or more 
classes of shares that are not exchange-traded. In accordance with the 
Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, the ETF Class operates as an ETF in 
compliance with the conditions and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the 
Investment Company Act, except as noted in the Multi-Class Fund 
Exemptive Relief. The Exchange also proposes to make conforming changes 
to the Exchange's definitions under NYSE Texas Rule 1.1 to accommodate 
the proposed listing and trading of Class ETF Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See supra note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Consistency With Section 6(b)(5) of the Act

(1) Proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)
    Proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) is substantively identical to 
the Class ETF Shares listing standards of other exchanges, and in 
particular, to the Class ETF Shares listing standards in NYSE Arca Rule 
5.2-E(j)(9).\18\ In approving the Class ETF Shares generic listing 
standards for the other exchanges, the Commission determined that the 
rules to permit the generic listing and trading of Class ETF Shares 
were reasonably designed to help prevent fraudulent and manipulative 
acts and practices.\19\ Because proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) is 
based on, and is substantively identical to, the same listing standards 
for Class ETF

[[Page 18944]]

Shares of other exchanges, the Commission similarly concludes that 
proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) is reasonably designed to help 
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104251 (Nov. 24, 
2025), 90 FR 54815 (Nov. 28, 2025) (SR-NYSEARCA-2025-39) (order

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)(g) requires that the Exchange 
implement and maintain written surveillance procedures for Class ETF 
Shares. The Exchange represents that it will utilize its existing 
surveillance procedures applicable to derivative products, which are 
currently applicable to ETF Shares, among other product types, to 
monitor trading in Class ETF Shares, and further represents that its 
surveillance procedures are adequate to (a) properly monitor the 
trading of the Class ETF Shares during all trading sessions and (b) 
deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and the applicable 
federal securities laws. The Exchange also represents that the 
Exchange, or FINRA on behalf of the Exchange, will communicate or 
obtain information, as needed, regarding trading in Class ETF Shares 
and certain of their applicable underlying components with other 
markets that are members of the ISG or with which the Exchange has in 
place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. Additionally, 
FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, is able to access, as needed, trade 
information for certain fixed income securities that may be held by the 
Multi-Class Fund for the Class ETF Shares reported to TRACE. FINRA also 
can access data obtained from the EMMA system relating to municipal 
bond trading activity for surveillance purposes in connection with 
trading in Class ETF Shares, to the extent that the Multi-Class Fund 
for the Class ETF Shares holds municipal securities. The Exchange 
states that NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e) requires any issuer to provide 
the Exchange with prompt notification after it becomes aware that (i) 
the Multi-Class Fund is no longer eligible to operate an ETF Class as 
an exchange-traded fund pursuant to, or otherwise no longer complies 
with, the terms and conditions of, the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive 
Relief, (ii) the ETF Class is no longer compliant with the conditions 
and requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act, except 
as noted in such Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, or (iii) the ETF 
Class or the Multi-Class Fund no longer satisfies the requirements of 
NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9), as applicable, on an initial and continuing 
basis.\20\ The Exchange further represents that it will obtain a 
representation from the issuer of Class ETF Shares stating that the 
requirements of Rule 6c-11 and the applicable exemptive relief under 
the Investment Company Act will be continuously satisfied and that the 
issuer will notify the Exchange of any failure to do so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See supra note 7 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \21\ 
that the Exchange's rules be designed to remove impediments to, and 
perfect the mechanism of, a free and open market, the Exchange's rules 
regarding trading halts will help to ensure the maintenance of fair and 
orderly markets for Class ETF Shares. Specifically, the Exchange may 
consider all relevant factors in exercising its discretion to halt or 
suspend trading in Class ETF Shares. The Exchange states that trading 
in Class ETF Shares may be halted if the circuit breaker parameters in 
NYSE Texas Rule 7.12 have been reached, because of other market 
conditions, or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make 
trading in the Class ETF Shares inadvisable. According to the Exchange, 
the reasons to halt trading may include: (1) the extent to which 
certain information about the Class ETF Shares that is required to be 
disclosed pursuant to Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act is 
not being made available; \22\ (2) if an interruption to the 
dissemination to the value of the index or reference asset on which the 
Class ETF Shares is based persists past the trading day in which it 
occurred or is no longer calculated or available; (3) trading in the 
securities comprising the underlying index or portfolio has been halted 
in the primary market(s); or (4) whether other unusual conditions or 
circumstances detrimental to the maintenance of a fair and orderly 
market are present. As the Exchange further represents in the proposal, 
if the Exchange becomes aware that the net asset value or the daily 
portfolio disclosure with respect to the Class ETF Shares is not 
disseminated to all market participants at the same time, it will halt 
trading in the Class ETF Shares until such time as the net asset value 
or the daily portfolio disclosure is available to all market 
participants.\23\ The Exchange represents that it may suspend trading 
in and commence delisting proceedings for Class ETF Shares where such 
securities are not in compliance with the applicable listing standards 
or where the Exchange believes that further dealings on the Exchange 
are inadvisable.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \22\ See supra note 9 and accompanying text (the Exchange 
represents that it will obtain a representation from the issuer of 
Class ETF Shares that the net asset value per share will be 
calculated daily and made available to all market participants at 
the same time, and the requirements pertaining to the Multi-Class 
Fund Exemptive Relief and Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company 
Act in proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) will be satisfied).
    \23\ See id.
    \24\ See supra note 7 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission also finds that, consistent with Section 
11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act,\25\ the proposed rule change, as modified 
by Amendment No. 2, is reasonably designed to promote fair disclosure 
of information that may be necessary to price the Class ETF Shares 
appropriately, to prevent trading when a reasonable degree of 
transparency cannot be assured, to safeguard material non-public 
information relating to the Class ETF Shares, and to ensure fair and 
orderly markets for Class ETF Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See supra note 15 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Other Related Proposed Rule Changes
    The Exchange also proposes changes to accommodate Class ETF Shares 
in other Exchange rules. First, the Exchange proposes to add Class ETF 
Shares to the definition of ``Derivative Securities Product and UTP 
Derivative Securities Product'' in NYSE Texas Rule 1.1(k). These 
proposed changes incorporate proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9) into 
the existing framework of the Exchange's rules, and therefore the 
Commission finds that such changes are consistent with Section 6(b)(5) 
of the Act.

B. Consistency With Section 6(b)(1) of the Act

    The Commission also finds that the proposed rule change, as 
modified by Amendment No. 2, is consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the 
Act,\26\ which requires, among other things, that the Exchange is so 
organized and has the capacity to be able to enforce compliance by its 
members and persons associated with its members with the rules of the 
Exchange. The Exchange represents that, consistent with Section 6(b)(1) 
of the Act,\27\ it will monitor for compliance to ensure that: (1) the 
Multi-Class Fund is, and continues to be, eligible to operate an ETF 
Class as an ETF pursuant to, and is otherwise in compliance with the 
terms and conditions of, the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; (2) the 
ETF Class continues to be compliant with the conditions and 
requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act, except as 
noted in such Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief; and (3) the ETF Class 
and the Multi-Class Fund each satisfies the requirements of proposed

[[Page 18945]]

NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9), as applicable, on an initial and continued 
listing basis. In addition, the Exchange represents that it will review 
the website of the Class ETF Shares listed on the Exchange to ensure 
that the requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act 
are being met and will obtain a representation from the issuer of the 
Class ETF Shares that the requirements of Rule 6c-11 and the applicable 
exemptive relief under the Investment Company Act will be continuously 
satisfied, and that the issuer will notify the Exchange of any failure 
to do so. The Exchange also represents that it will comply with all the 
requirements of Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act to specifically note that 
such Class ETF Shares are being listed and/or traded on the Exchange 
pursuant to NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9).\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \27\ Id.
    \28\ Rule 19b-4(e) under the Act requires an SRO seeking to rely 
on Rule 19b-4(e) to post on its publicly available internet website 
within five business days after commencement of trading a new 
derivative securities product the following information relating to 
the new derivative securities product, using the most recent 
versions of the XML schema and the associated PDF renderer as 
published on the Commission's website: (A) type of issuer; (B) 
class; (C) name of underlying instrument; (D) if the underlying 
instrument is an index, whether it is broad-based or narrow-based; 
(E) ticker symbol(s); (F) market(s) upon which securities composing 
the underlying instrument trade; (G) settlement methodology; and (H) 
position limits (if applicable). See 17 CFR 240.19b-4(e)(2)(ii). See 
also supra notes 5 and 6 and respective accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange states that it will employ numerous intraday alerts to 
notify Exchange personnel of trading activity throughout the day that 
is potentially indicative of certain disclosures not being made 
accurately or the presence of other unusual conditions or circumstances 
that could be detrimental to the maintenance of a fair and orderly 
market. The Exchange also states that proposed NYSE Texas Rule 
5.2(j)(9)(e) requires any issuer to provide the Exchange with prompt 
notification after it becomes aware of any non-compliance with proposed 
NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9), which would include any failure of the 
issuer to comply with Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act or 
with the terms and conditions of the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive 
Relief.\29\ Further, proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(C) 
requires that the Exchange consider the suspension of trading in, and 
commence delisting proceedings for, Class ETF Shares if, following the 
initial 12-month period after commencement of trading on the Exchange, 
there are fewer than 50 beneficial holders of the Class ETF Shares.\30\ 
Finally, the Exchange deems Class ETF Shares to be equity securities 
and represents, therefore, that such Class ETF Shares would be subject 
to the full panoply of Exchange rules and procedures that currently 
govern the trading of equity securities on the Exchange.\31\ The 
Exchange states that Class ETF Shares will be subject to rules 
governing Exchange member disclosure obligations in connection with 
equities trading, and that Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act 
does not change the applicability of these Exchange rules with respect 
to these securities.\32\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ See supra note 8 and accompanying text.
    \30\ See proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e).
    \31\ See proposed NYSE Texas Rule 5.2(j)(9)(e)(2)(C).
    \32\ As stated above, with respect to trading in Class ETF 
Shares, the Exchange represents that all ETP Holder obligations 
relating to product description and prospectus delivery requirements 
will continue to apply in accordance with the Exchange's rules and 
federal securities laws, and the Exchange will continue to monitor 
ETP Holders for compliance with such requirements, which are not 
changing as a result of the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief order 
issued under the Investment Company Act. See supra note 10 and 
accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This approval order is based on all of the Exchange's 
representations and descriptions in the proposed rule change, including 
those set forth above and in Amendment No. 2, which the Commission has 
carefully evaluated as discussed above. For the foregoing reasons, the 
Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by 
Amendment No. 2, is consistent with Sections 6(b)(1) and 6(b)(5) of the 
Act \33\ and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a 
national securities exchange.

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by 
Amendment No. 2

    The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule 
change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, prior to the 30th day after the 
date of publication of Amendment No. 2 in the Federal Register. In 
Amendment No. 2, the Exchange provided additional information in 
support of the proposal, including representations regarding NYSE 
Texas's ability to monitor for compliance of proposed NYSE Texas Rule 
5.2(j)(9) and the specific requirements set forth therein, the 
procedures for suspensions in trading of, and delisting procedures for, 
Class ETF Shares, the applicable trading rules for Class ETF Shares, 
and the Exchange's surveillance procedures. The additional information 
in Amendment No. 2 is substantially similar to the information provided 
by other exchanges that adopted the same generic listing standards for 
Class ETF Shares.\34\ The proposal, as modified by Amendment No. 1, has 
been subject to public comment, and no comments have been received.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \34\ See supra note 18 and accompanying text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule 
change raises no novel regulatory issues that have not previously been 
subject to comment, and is reasonably designed, among other things, to 
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to remove 
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market, 
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The 
Commission also finds that Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change 
is

[[Page 18946]]

consistent with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act.\35\ Accordingly, 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\36\ the Commission finds good 
cause to approve the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 
2, on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \35\ See supra note 25 and accompanying text.
    \36\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\37\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSETEX-2026-05), as 
modified by Amendment No. 2, be, and it hereby is, approved on an 
accelerated basis.
