UTP Plan Amendment - Nasdaq Name Change and Texas Stock Exchange Addition

Content

March 27, 2026. Pursuant to Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”), (1) and Rule 608 thereunder, (2) notice is hereby given that on March 12, 2026, the Participants (3) in the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the Collection, Consolidation and Dissemination of Quotation and
Transaction Information for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Traded on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privileges Basis (the “UTP
Plan”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) a proposal to amend the UTP Plan. The amendment represents
the Fifty-Sixth Amendment to the UTP Plan (“Amendment”). Under the Amendment, the Participants propose to reflect the new
name of Nasdaq BX, Inc. as Nasdaq Texas, Inc. and to add Texas Stock Exchange LLC (“TSE”) as a Participant to the UTP Plan. (4)

The proposed Amendment has been filed by the Participants pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3)(ii) under Regulation

  NMS [(5)]() as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan and as a “Ministerial Amendment” under Section XVI of the UTP
  Plan. As a result, the Amendment can be submitted by the Chair of the UTP Plan's Operating Committee and becomes effective
  upon filing.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the Amendment from interested persons. Set forth in Sections
I and II is the statement of the purpose and summary of the Amendment, along with the information required by Rules 608(a)
and 601(a) under the Act, as prepared and submitted by the Participants.

I. Rule 608(a)

1. Purpose of the Amendments

The above-captioned amendments effectuate a change to reflect the new name of Nasdaq BX as Nasdaq Texas. The amendment also
admits the Texas Stock Exchange as a Participant to the UTP Plan.

2. Governing or Constituent Documents

No change as result of amendments.

3. Implementation of Amendments

Because the amendment constitutes a “Ministerial Amendment” under Section XVI of the UTP Plan, the Chair of the UTP Plan's
Operating Committee may submit the amendment to the Commission on behalf of the Participants in the UTP Plan. Because the
Participants designate the amendment as concerned solely with the administration of the UTP Plan, the amendment becomes effective
upon filing with the Commission.

4. Development and Implementation Phases

No change as result of amendments.

5. Analysis of Impact on Competition

The amendment does not impose any burden on competition because they simply effectuate a change in the name of a Participant
and admit a new Participant to the Plan. For the same reasons, the Participants do not believe that the amendments introduce
terms that are unreasonably discriminatory for the purposes of Section 11A(c)(1)(D) of the Exchange Act. The Texas Stock Exchange
has completed the required steps to be added to the UTP Plan.
