Beginning on March 3, 2008 the Exchange will introduce incentive based pricing for orders that originate from NYSE floor brokers and add liquidity to the market. The $0.04 per 100 shares credit will be applied to executions when floor brokers use e-Quotes, DOT or Percentage orders to add liquidity to the market.
