Effective October 1, 2009, NYSE Amex equities will increase the liquidity-providing rebate for all customers to $0.0030 per share from $0.0015 in securities priced above $1, including displayed and non-displayed orders. The take rate for removing liquidity remains $0.0025. In addition to receiving a higher rebate, posted customer orders have a strong chance of first execution given our aggressive liquidity takers and the benefits of a parity market. The inverted pricing plan will be in effect for a minimum of three months.

Arca ETP holders may also take advantage of this inverted pricing by using the PO+ order type to send orders to NYSE Amex.

Construction of this facility is well underway and represents a significant investment by NYSE Euronext to provide our customers with a technology platform that can facilitate industry leading performance with greater security, flexibility and collocation opportunities.

As previously announced in the NYSE Trader Update of September 8, 2009, NYSE Amex is preparing to trade NASDAQ Listed Equities and selected ETFs on an Unlisted Trading Privilege basis starting on a date to be announced early in the first quarter of 2010.

Effective September 25, the On-line Comparison System (NYSE OCS ®) will be modified to require an Entering Firm, Branch/Sequence and Account Type on NYSE and NYSE Amex add transactions. In addition the "stamp" functionality will be disabled for OCS Clearing Firm users. In lieu of the "stamp" functionality, all Clearing Firm users should add their side of an execution to OCS to be matched against their contra party. These changes are being implemented to conform to NYSE Rules 123(e) and 123(f). Details of the processing for adds and stamps are contained in the two notices below.
