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

    The Exchange is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change to amend Rules 11.020H and 
11.022 to modify the processing of orders during a Regulatory Halt and 
certain aspects of the Exchange's IPO Auctions, Halt

[[Page 60666]]

Auctions, and Volatility Closing Auctions, including the orders 
eligible to participate, the information disseminated during an 
auction, extensions of the Quote-Only Period, and auction-price 
selection. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the 
Commission's website (<a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml">https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml</a>) at the 
Exchange's website (<a href="https://www.txse.com/regulations/rules-filings">https://www.txse.com/regulations/rules-filings</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 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 amend Rules 11.020H and 11.022 to update 
the manner in which the Exchange processes certain orders during a 
Regulatory Halt and conducts Halt Auctions and Volatility Closing 
Auctions.
Order Processing During a Regulatory Halt
    First, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A), which 
governs the processing of new and existing orders during a Regulatory 
Halt that will reopen with a Halt Auction. The Exchange is proposing to 
make several changes to Rule 11.020(H)(b)(7)(A)(i) through (vi), as 
further laid out below.
    Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A)(i) and (ii) currently provide that the 
Exchange will (i) cancel any unexecuted portion of Non-Displayed Limit 
Orders and orders with a Peg instruction (i.e., Midpoint Peg, Market 
Peg, Primary Peg, and Offset Peg, and excluding Market Maker Peg 
Orders) and (ii) maintain any unexecuted quantity of Market Orders. The 
Exchange is proposing to remove current paragraph (i) such that: (a) 
orders with a Peg instruction will not be cancelled and instead remain 
unexecutable on the TXSE Book \3\ until the NBBO is available after the 
Halt Auction at which point the orders will be pegged as instructed; 
and (b) a Non-Displayed Limit Orders will not be cancelled and instead 
will remain on the TXSE Book and be eligible to participate in the 
auction. A User may cancel an order, including a Non-Displayed Limit 
Order and an order with a Peg instruction, at any point during the halt 
if they do not want their order to be treated as described above. The 
Exchange is proposing to remove current paragraph (ii) because Market 
Orders are only eligible to be entered as immediate-or-cancel orders on 
the Exchange, so the concept of an ``unexecuted quantity of Market 
Orders'' does not exist on the TXSE Book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As defined in Rule 1.005(ii) the term ``TXSE Book'' shall 
mean the System's electronic file of orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing to make similar changes to Rule 
11.020H(b)(7)(A)(v). Currently, existing Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A)(v) 
provides that the Exchange would reject incoming orders designated IOC, 
Non-Displayed Limit Orders, and Pegged Orders. Consistent with the 
change proposed above that would provide that the Exchange would not 
cancel Non-Displayed Orders and Pegged Orders, the Exchange is 
proposing to amend Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A)(v) such that it would not 
reject Non-Displayed Limit Orders and Pegged Orders when entered during 
a Regulatory Halt. The Exchange would continue to reject orders 
designated as IOC.
    The Exchange is also proposing to change proposed Rule 
11.020H(b)(7)(A)(iv) (currently Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A)(vi)). The Rule 
currently provides that the Exchange will accept all other incoming 
order instructions until the Auction for the Trading Halt Auction, at 
which point Rule 11.022(d) will govern the entry of incoming orders and 
order instructions. The Exchange is proposing to amend the Rule in 
order to make clear that the Exchange would accept other incoming order 
instructions only to the extent permitted under Rule 11.022(d), which 
governs order entry for IPO and Halt Auctions, as opposed to the 
current rule text that implies that the Exchange will continue to 
accept all other order instructions up to the time that the Halt 
Auction occurs, even where such instructions contradict Rule 11.022(d).
    The Exchange is not proposing to change the requirement to re-price 
resting orders in the Exchange Book to their limit price and would 
continue to permit Users to cancel orders during the Regulatory Halt.
Orders Eligible for a Halt Auction
    Second, the Exchange proposes to amend the definition of Eligible 
Auction Order in Rule 11.022(a)(8).\4\ The definition currently 
provides in part that any ``limit or market order not designated to 
exclusively participate in the Opening Auction or Closing Auction 
entered during the Quote-Only Period of a Halt Auction'' is an Eligible 
Auction Order. The Exchange is proposing to delete the words ``or 
market'' from the definition so that only limit orders, rather than 
both limit and market orders, may be entered during the Quote-Only 
Period for a Halt Auction. The proposal would provide a limited 
exception for MOO orders queued (i.e., received prior to 9:28 a.m. ET) 
before Regular Trading Hours when a Pre-Market Session halt continues 
through the start of Regular Trading Hours. Those queued MOO orders 
would be eligible to participate in the Halt Auction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As provided in Rule 11.022(a)(8), the term ``Eligible 
Auction Order'' shall mean any MOO, LOO, LOO.L, MOC, LOC or LOC.L 
order that is entered in compliance with its respective cutoff for 
an Opening Auction or Closing Auction, any RHO order prior to the 
Opening Auction, any limit or market order not designated to 
exclusively participate in the Closing Auction entered during the 
Quote-Only Period of an IPO Auction subject to the below 
restrictions, and any limit or market order not designated to 
exclusively participate in the Opening Auction or Closing Auction 
entered during the Quote-Only Period of a Halt Auction.
    \5\ The Exchange notes that this functionality for MOO orders 
participating in a Halt Auction is substantively identical to the 
MOO functionality of Investors Exchange LLC (``IEX''). See IEX Rule 
11.350(a)(25).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halt and Volatility Closing Auction Information
    Third, the Exchange proposes to revise the information disseminated 
for a Halt Auction under Rule 11.022(d)(2)(A). Beginning with the 
Quote-Only Period and every five seconds thereafter, the Exchange would 
disseminate the applicable Halt Auction Collars, Lower Collar Auction 
Interest, and Upper Collar Auction Interest. Lower Collar Auction 
Interest would reflect Eligible Auction Order shares to buy and sell 
that are priced at or more aggressively than the lower Halt Auction 
Collar. Upper Collar Auction Interest would reflect Eligible Auction 
Order shares to buy and sell that are priced at or more aggressively 
than the upper Halt Auction Collar. The Exchange would no longer 
disseminate the Reference Price, Indicative Price, Auction Only Price, 
Halt Auction Reference Price, or the lesser of

[[Page 60667]]

Reference Buy Shares and Reference Sell Shares for a Halt Auction. For 
a Volatility Closing Auction, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 
11.022(e)(2)(A) to disseminate the Halt Auction Collars, Lower Collar 
Auction Interest, and Upper Collar Auction Interest in place of the 
Reference Price, Indicative Price, Auction Only Price, and the lesser 
of Reference Buy Shares and Reference Sell Shares. The Exchange notes 
that both of these changes are very similar to the functionality 
associated with the Opening and Closing Auctions in which the Exchange 
disseminates the same data points except, in this instance, 
disseminating the Lower Collar Auction Interest and Upper Collar 
Auction Interest instead of the Lower Band Auction Interest and Upper 
Band Auction Interest.
Extensions of the Quote-Only Period
    Fourth, based on the proposed changes above, market orders would 
not be eligible for a Halt Auction, and thus the Exchange proposes to 
amend Rule 11.022(d)(2)(C) in order to remove unmatched market orders 
as a condition that would extend the Quote-Only Period. The Exchange is 
also proposing to amend Rule 11.022(d)(2)(C) to eliminate the term 
Indicative Price and replace it with ``the price at which the Halt 
Auction would occur.'' Consistent with other changes proposed herein, 
the Exchange is proposing this change to make its Rules more clear 
because it will not publish the Indicative Price. This proposed change 
does not change the Halt Auction functionality. The Quote-Only Period 
would continue to be extended when the Halt Auction would occur, before 
application of the Halt Auction Collars, outside the applicable 
collars.
Halt and Volatility Closing Auction Price Selection
    Fifth, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 11.022(d)(2)(E) to add a 
step to the price-selection process for IPO and Halt Auctions. After 
maximizing executable volume and minimizing total imbalance, the 
Exchange would select the entered price at which shares would remain 
unexecuted. If more than one price remains, the Exchange would then 
select the price closest to the issuing price for an IPO Auction or the 
Final Last Sale Eligible Trade for a Halt Auction. The Exchange also 
proposes to amend Rule 11.022(e)(2)(B) to add the entered price at 
which shares would remain unexecuted as a price-selection step after 
minimizing total imbalance and before selecting the price closest to 
the Final Last Sale Eligible Trade. The Exchange notes that this is 
substantively identical to the process for its Opening and Closing 
Auctions under Rules 11.022(b)(2)(B) and 11.022(c)(2)(B), respectively.
Volatility Closing Auctions
    Sixth, the Exchange proposes several changes to the Volatility 
Closing Auction under Rule 11.022(e). The Exchange would remove 
references that limit the process to halts initiated under Rule 11.021, 
so that the Volatility Closing Auction provisions apply whenever a 
security is halted during the specified period before the close or a 
Halt Auction Quote-Only Period would otherwise extend beyond the 
applicable cutoff.
Clean-Up Changes
    Finally, the Exchange is proposing to make certain clean-up changes 
to make the proposed rules more clear and understandable, including 
renumbering the sub-rules under Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A) and deleting the 
word ``other'' from proposed Rule 11.020H(b)(7)(A)(i) (currently Rule 
11.020H(b)(7)(A)(iii)) which currently reads ``re-price all other 
resting orders in the Exchange Book to their limit price'' because the 
Exchange is proposing to delete the currently preceding two paragraphs, 
so the word ``other'' is no longer necessary.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the 
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the 
Act.\6\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is 
consistent with the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \7\ 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.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Order Processing During a Regulatory Halt
    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to the processing 
of orders during a Regulatory Halt would provide for the consistent and 
predictable treatment of orders during a Regulatory Halt. The proposal 
would permit resting Non-Displayed Limit Orders to participate in the 
Halt Auction and would allow orders with a Peg instruction to remain on 
the TXSE Book in an unexecutable state until the NBBO becomes available 
after the Halt Auction. It would also permit Non-Displayed Limit Orders 
and Pegged Orders to be entered during a halt. Users would continue to 
be able to cancel their orders during the halt. The proposal would also 
make clear that the Exchange will accept incoming order instructions 
only to the extent permitted under Rule 11.022(d). The Exchange 
believes that the proposed change would promote just and equitable 
principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of 
a free and open market, and protect investors and the public interest 
by providing for clear and consistent order handling during a 
Regulatory Halt. The proposed change makes clear to Users that the 
default behavior on the Exchange is to keep both Pegged Orders and Non-
Displayed Limit Orders on the TXSE Book in the event of a Regulatory 
Halt. It further provides them with more flexibility for order 
handling--by leaving the orders on the TXSE Book, they have the option 
to leave their orders on the TXSE Book or to cancel the orders during 
the halt. As noted above, Pegged Orders will remain queued until the 
NBBO becomes available after the Halt Auction, which the Exchange 
believes is more consistent with the behavior that Users would expect 
of Pegged Orders than to cancel them, particularly Rule 11.007(c)(7) 
which provides that Pegged Orders continue to rest on the TXSE Book in 
an unexecutable state where there is no NBBO. Similarly, the Exchange 
believes that consistent treatment between Displayed Limit Orders and 
Non-Displayed Limit Orders (remaining on the TXSE Book and eligible to 
participate in the auction) is more in line with what Users would 
expect. Again, the Exchange notes that this behavior results in more 
User flexibility and such orders could be cancelled during the halt if 
a User prefers not to remain on the TXSE Book.
Orders Eligible for a Halt Auction
    The Exchange believes that permitting only limit orders to be 
entered during the Quote-Only Period for a Halt Auction, which would 
require each order to include a specified maximum purchase price or 
minimum sale price, is consistent with the Act because it

[[Page 60668]]

allows price discovery during a Halt Auction through the entry of 
aggressive limit orders while keeping halt auction order entry 
generally consistent with the treatment of Market Orders, which may 
only be entered as immediate-or-cancel rather than resting on the TXSE 
Book. The limited exception for MOO orders queued before Regular 
Trading Hours would allow previously entered opening interest to 
participate when a Pre-Market Session halt continues through the start 
of Regular Trading Hours, again, generally consistent with existing 
Exchange functionality. The Exchange believes that requiring orders 
entered during the Quote-Only Period to specify a limit price while 
preserving the treatment of previously queued MOO orders would promote 
fair and orderly Halt Auctions and thereby protect investors and the 
public interest by allowing price discovery during a Halt Auction 
through the entry of aggressive limit orders and the participation of 
MOO orders under limited circumstances while keeping functionality 
generally consistent with other Exchange functionality.
Halt and Volatility Closing Auction Information
    The Exchange believes that the proposed changes to the information 
disseminated for Halt Auctions and Volatility Closing Auctions would 
provide Users with information regarding the applicable auction collars 
and the amount of eligible buy and sell interest priced at or more 
aggressively than each collar. This information would allow Users to 
assess the amount of eligible auction interest relative to the range 
within which the auction may occur. The proposed information would also 
be similar to the information disseminated for the Exchange's Opening 
and Closing Auctions,\8\ modified to reflect the use of Halt Auction 
Collars. The Exchange believes that providing Users with information 
regarding the applicable collars and the eligible interest at those 
collars would promote transparency, remove impediments to and perfect 
the mechanism of a free and open market, and protect investors and the 
public interest by providing a deterministic, market-based solution to 
creating orderly auctions that ensures that participants have a view 
into the liquidity interest in the auction while mitigating volatility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 105988 (July 24, 
2026), 91 FR 47860 (July 29, 2026) (SR-TXSE-2026-006) (Order 
Approving a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To 
Amend Certain Parts of Its Opening and Closing Auctions) (the ``TXSE 
Auction Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extensions of the Quote-Only Period
    The Exchange believes that removing unmatched market orders as a 
condition for extending the Quote-Only Period is appropriate because, 
based on the changes proposed herein, market orders generally would no 
longer be eligible for an intraday Halt Auction. Replacing the term 
``Indicative Price'' with ``the price at which the Halt Auction would 
occur'' would make the Rule more clear because the Exchange will not 
publish an Indicative Price. This change would not modify the 
applicable extension condition. The Quote-Only Period would continue to 
be extended when the Halt Auction would occur, before application of 
the Halt Auction Collars, outside the applicable collars. The Exchange 
believes that removing an inapplicable extension condition and more 
accurately describing the price used to determine whether an extension 
is required is a conforming change that would make the Exchange's Rules 
clearer and more transparent, thereby removing impediments to and 
perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market.
Halt and Volatility Closing Auction Price Selection
    The Exchange believes that adding the entered price at which shares 
would remain unexecuted to the price-selection process for IPO, Halt, 
and Volatility Closing Auctions would provide for a clear and 
consistent method of selecting an auction price after executable volume 
has been maximized and total imbalance has been minimized. This price-
selection step is substantively identical to the process used for the 
Exchange's Opening and Closing Auctions.\9\ The Exchange believes that 
applying a clear and consistent price-selection process across the 
Exchange's auctions would promote just and equitable principles of 
trade, facilitate fair and orderly auctions, and protect investors and 
the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See TXSE Auction Filing and TXSE Rules 11.022(b)(2)(B) and 
11.022(c)(2)(B), respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Volatility Closing Auctions
    The Exchange believes that applying the Volatility Closing Auction 
provisions whenever a security is halted during the specified period 
before the close, or when the Quote-Only Period for a Halt Auction 
would otherwise extend beyond the applicable cutoff, would promote the 
fair and orderly closing of Exchange-listed securities under volatile 
market conditions. The proposal would provide for a consistent closing 
process without regard to the rule under which the applicable halt was 
initiated. The Exchange believes that providing for a consistent 
closing process when an Exchange-listed security cannot reopen before 
the applicable cutoff would remove impediments to and perfect the 
mechanism of a free and open market and protect investors and the 
public interest because it would provide for consistency and 
predictability around the market close where a halt is occurring, 
allowing market participants to know with certainty how the Exchange's 
closing process will occur.
Clean-Up Changes
    Finally, the Exchange believes that the proposed clean-up changes 
would make the Exchange's Rules more clear and understandable without 
changing their substantive operation. The Exchange believes that 
maintaining clear and internally consistent Rules would remove 
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and 
protect investors and the public interest.
    For these reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule 
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would 
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate 
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
    The proposed rule change is not intended to address competitive 
issues but rather to update the Exchange's processing of orders during 
a Regulatory Halt and the operation of its Halt and Volatility Closing 
Auctions. The proposed changes would apply equally to all Users, and 
the distinctions among eligible order instructions would be based on 
the characteristics of those instructions and their compatibility with 
the applicable auction process.
    The proposal would not impose an undue burden on intermarket 
competition because it concerns the manner in which the Exchange 
conducts auctions in Exchange-listed securities. The proposal would not 
impose any restriction on the ability of other exchanges to compete for 
listings or order flow or to adopt their own auction functionality.

[[Page 60669]]

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 written 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)(iii) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \11\ thereunder 
in that it effects a change that: (i) does not significantly affect the 
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does not impose 
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not 
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such 
shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the 
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \12\ requires a self-regulatory 
organization to give the Commission written notice of its intent to 
file a proposed rule change under that subsection at least five 
business days prior to the date of filing, or such shorter time as 
designated by the Commission. The Exchange has provided such notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the 
Act \13\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date 
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \14\ permits the 
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent 
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange 
has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so 
that the proposed rule change may become operative upon filing. The 
Exchange states that the proposed rule change will provide for clear 
and predictable order handling during a Regulatory Halt. The Exchange 
further states that certain of the proposed changes are substantively 
identical or similar to functionality already applicable to the 
Exchange's Opening and Closing Auctions,\15\ and the proposed changes 
raise no new or novel issues. Therefore, the Commission believes that 
waiver of the operative delay would be consistent with the protection 
of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission 
hereby waives the operative delay and designates the proposal operative 
upon filing.\16\

Filing of Amendment No. 2 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of 
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 2, Relating to 
Auctions in IEX-Listed Securities, Dissemination of Auction-Related 
Market Data, and Trading Halts and Pauses) (the ``IEX Filing'') and 
IEX Rule 11.350(a)(25). See also TXSE Auction Filing.
    \16\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, 
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on 
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 under 
Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \17\ to determine whether the proposed 
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
