Proposes Installation Fee of $5,940 for Cabinet Co-Location Services in NY11-5 Data Center

NASDAQ ISE, LLC filed a proposed rule change with the SEC to establish fees for expanded colocation services in its NY11-5 data center expansion area in Carteret, NJ. The Exchange proposes an installation fee of $5,940 for the Cabinet offering in NY11-5, consistent with the corresponding fee for the same cabinet option in NY11-4. No ongoing monthly fee is proposed for the NY11-5 Cabinet offering. The proposed fees mirror those for NY11-4, as both expansion areas share similar infrastructure features and the NY11-5 Cabinet offers the same features as the corresponding option in NY11-4.
