Summary Fees Can Credit Premium Fees

For example, $4,500 in Summary User Fees could reduce a $5,000 Summary Distributor fee to $500, or reduce a $12,500 Premium Distributor fee to $8,000.
Credit Intended to Broaden Retail Access
The Exchange states the credit is intended to incentivize External Distributors to enlist Users, including Non-Professional Users (such as retail investors), to subscribe to Cboe One Summary or Cboe One Premium, thereby broadening distribution of the feeds.
Premium User Fees Only Offset Premium Costs
Cboe BYX stated Cboe One Premium User Fees may only be applied as a credit against the Cboe One Premium External Distribution Fee (the $12,500/month Premium Distributor fee), and cannot be applied to the Summary External Distribution Fee.
External-Only Credit Eligibility
The External Distribution Fee credit applies only to External Distributors (those distributing data to third parties) and is not available for Internal Distributors (those distributing data only within their own firm).
