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

    Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``EDGX'') proposes to 
amend its Fee Schedule to clarify that requests for mid-month 
subscriptions and ad-hoc historical requests for Open-Close Data will 
be prorated. The text of the proposed rule change is in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the 
Commission's website (<a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml">https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml</a>), the 
Exchange's website (<a href="https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/">https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/</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
    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to clarify that 
both (i) mid-month subscriptions and (ii) ad-hoc historical requests 
for its End-of-Day (``EOD'') Open-Close data, Ten-Minute Interval 
Intraday Open-Close data, and One-Minute Interval Intraday Open-Close 
data will be prorated. The Exchange proposes this change with the sole 
purpose of providing greater clarity in its Fee Schedule and aligning 
the content of its Fee Schedule with the fee schedule of its affiliate 
exchange, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (hereinafter ``C1'' or ``Cboe 
Exchange'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104796 (February 10, 
2026), 91 FR 6931 (February 13, 2026) (SR-CBOE-2026-011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By way of background, the Exchange currently offers EOD and 
Intraday Open-Close Data (collectively, ``Open-Close Data''). EOD Open-
Close Data is an end-of-day volume summary of trading activity on the 
Exchange at the option level by origin (customer, professional 
customer, broker-dealer, and market maker), side of the market (buy or 
sell), price, and transaction type (opening or closing). The customer 
and professional customer volume is further broken down into trade size 
buckets (less than 100 contracts, 100-199 contracts, greater than 199 
contracts). The EOD Open-Close Data is proprietary Exchange trade data 
and does not include trade data from any other exchange. It is a 
historical data product and not a real-time data feed.
    The Exchange also offers Intraday Open-Close Data, which provides 
similar information to that of EOD Open-Close Data but is produced and 
updated every 10 minutes (the ``Ten-Minute Intraday Report'') and every 
1 minute (the ``One-Minute Intraday Report'') during the trading day. 
Data is captured in ``snapshots'' taken every 10 minutes or 1 minute 
(depending on the report) throughout the trading day and is available 
to subscribers within five minutes of the conclusion of each period.\4\ 
The Intraday Open-Close Data provides a volume summary of trading 
activity on the Exchange at the option level by origin (customer, 
professional customer, broker-dealer, and market maker), side of the 
market (buy or sell), and transaction type (opening or closing). The 
customer and professional customer volume are further broken down into 
trade size buckets (less than 100 contracts, 100-199 contracts, greater 
than 199 contracts). The Intraday Open-Close Data is proprietary 
Exchange trade data and does not include trade data from any other 
exchange. All Open-Close Data products are completely voluntary 
products, in that the Exchange is not required by any rule or 
regulation to make this data available and that potential customers may 
purchase it on an ad-hoc basis only if they voluntarily choose to do 
so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For example, subscribers to the Ten-Minute Intraday Report 
receive the first calculation of intraday data by approximately 9:42 
a.m. ET, which represents data captured from 9:30 a.m. to 9:40 a.m. 
Subscribers receive the next update at 9:52 a.m., representing the 
data previously provided together with data captured from 9:40 a.m. 
through 9:50 a.m., and so forth. Each update represents the 
aggregate data captured from the current ``snapshot'' and all 
previous ``snapshots.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Exchange provides in its Fee Schedule that firms may 
purchase Ten-Minute Intraday Open-Close Data, One-Minute Open-Close 
Data, or EOD Data on a subscription basis or as an ad hoc request for a 
specified month(s) (historical file).\5\ The Exchange proposes to add 
language to its Fee Schedule to clarify that either (i) a mid-month 
subscription or (ii) an ad-hoc historical request for specific dates of 
any of the Open-Close Data will be prorated. The Exchange proposes this 
change with the sole purpose of providing greater clarity to its Fee 
Schedule and aligning the content of its Fee Schedule with the fee 
schedule of its affiliate exchange, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (hereinafter 
``C1'' or ``Cboe Exchange'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See EDGX Options Fee Schedule.
    \6\ Supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the

[[Page 32468]]

``Act'') and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the 
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the 
Act.\7\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is 
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \8\ requirements that the rules of 
an exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster 
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, 
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and 
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and 
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market 
system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. 
Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is 
consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirement that the rules of 
an exchange not be designed to permit unfair discrimination between 
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the proposed rule change is reasonable and would 
benefit investors by providing clarity regarding the method of 
calculation of fees associated with mid-month subscriptions and 
requests for ad-hoc historical data for specific dates of any of the 
Open-Close Data. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed 
addition of language clarifying that mid-month subscriptions and 
requests for ad-hoc historical data will be pro-rated is reasonable 
because the Exchange's affiliated exchange already has this language in 
place,\10\ and its addition to the Exchange's fee schedule adds 
consistency between the fee schedules of the Exchange and its 
affiliate. Additionally, The Exchange believes the proposed change is 
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the proration of the 
fees would apply equally to all users who choose to purchase such data. 
The Exchange's proposed proration of fees would not differentiate 
between subscribers that purchase the data and would allow any 
interested market participant to purchase such data based on their 
business needs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, the Exchange notes that all of its Open-Close Data 
products are entirely optional for market participants to purchase. 
Indeed, no market participant is required to purchase the Open-Close 
Data products, and the Exchange is not required to make the Open-Close 
Data products available to all investors. Rather, the Exchange is 
voluntarily making the Open-Close Data available. Potential purchasers 
may request the data at any time if they believe it to be valuable or 
may decline to purchase such data.

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. The Exchange does not 
believe the proposed fees would cause any unnecessary or inappropriate 
burden on intermarket competition because the proposed rule change is 
aimed solely at adding clarification and accuracy to the Exchange's Fee 
Schedule. Further, the Exchange operates in a highly competitive 
environment, and its ability to price the reports is constrained by 
competition among exchanges who choose to adopt similar products. The 
Exchange must consider this in its pricing discipline in order to 
compete for subscribers of the Exchange's market data via the reports. 
Finally, the Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change would 
cause any unnecessary or inappropriate burden on intramarket 
competition. Particularly, the proposed fees apply uniformly to any 
purchaser in that the Exchange does not differentiate between the 
different market participants that may purchase the report.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \11\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \12\ 
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed 
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
