Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Generic Listing of Class ETF Shares
The NYSE Texas adopted new Rule 5.2(j)(9) to allow the generic listing and trading of Class Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Shares that meet the rule's criteria without separate SEC approval under Section 19(b) and Rule 19b-4(e). That means Class ETF series that satisfy the listing standards can be listed and traded on NYSE Texas without a separate Commission order, which the Exchange says reduces time, resources, and costs for bringing new series to market.
Conditions That Can Trigger Delisting
The Exchange may suspend trading or start delisting Class ETF Shares if certain conditions occur, including if the Multi-Class Fund is no longer eligible under the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, if the ETF Class no longer meets Rule 6c-11 requirements, if other listing requirements are not maintained, or if, after the first 12 months of trading, there are fewer than 50 beneficial holders. The Exchange may also delist if it believes further dealings are inadvisable.
Trading Halts When NAV/Disclosures Missing
The Exchange will halt trading in Class ETF Shares if required information—such as net asset value (NAV) or daily portfolio disclosure—is not being made available to all market participants at the same time. The Exchange will obtain a representation from issuers that NAV will be calculated daily and made available simultaneously to all market participants; trading will be halted until such disclosures are available.
Issuer Notification and Compliance Duty
Issuers of Class ETF Shares must notify the Exchange promptly if they fail to comply with Rule 5.2(j)(9), the Multi-Class Fund Exemptive Relief, or Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act. The rule says that failing to notify the Exchange is itself non-compliance and can subject the Class ETF Shares to trading halts and the delisting process.
Exchange Surveillance and Data Sharing
NYSE Texas will implement written surveillance procedures for Class ETF Shares, use intraday alerts, and, where appropriate, work with FINRA, Intermarket Surveillance Group (ISG) members, TRACE, and EMMA to obtain trade information for monitoring. The Exchange says these procedures are intended to detect manipulation and help maintain fair and orderly markets for Class ETF Shares.
