$2,000 monthly connectivity fee
If you choose to receive MX2 Options via the Exchange's connectivity at the Mahwah data center, the Exchange will charge a monthly recurring connectivity fee of $2,000 per third‑party data feed. In addition to this $2,000/month connectivity charge, a User must enter into a separate contract with the third‑party content provider and may be charged by that provider for the data feed itself; the Exchange charges connectivity only to Users who voluntarily select the service.
MX2 Options connectivity added
If you use NYSE Arca colocation services at the Mahwah, New Jersey data center, you can connect to a new third‑party data feed called MX2 Options once it is live on September 14, 2026. The Exchange will provide the MX2 Options feed over its IP local area network and will retransmit the data to Users after the User and the MX2 content provider enter into a contract and the provider authorizes the Exchange.
