Self-Regulatory Organizations; MEMX LLC; Notice of Designation of 
a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule Change To 
Adopt Rules for the Listing and Trading of Securities Event Contracts 
on the Exchange

October 7, 2026.
    On August 11, 2026, MEMX LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``MEMX'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') 
\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to adopt new 
Chapter 30 of the Exchange Rules to provide for the listing and trading 
of securities event contracts on the Exchange's options platform. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on August 27, 2026.\3\

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 106182 (August 24, 
2026), 91 FR 55384. Comments received on the proposed rule change 
are available on the Commission's website at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/public-comments/sr-memx-2026-25">https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/public-comments/sr-memx-2026-25</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \4\ provides that within 45 days of the 
publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or 
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate 
if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its 
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization 
consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, 
disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 
45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change 
is October 11, 2026. The Commission is extending this 45-day time 
period.

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has 
sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues 
raised therein. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 
19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ designates November 25, 2026, as the date by 
which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute 
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule 
change (File No. SR-MEMX-2026-25).
