Summary

Cboe EDGX Exchange filed a proposed rule change (SR-CboeEDGX-2026-025) to amend its Market Data Fee Schedule. The Exchange proposes to codify a User Fee exemption for Controlled Distributors using market data for Permitted Purposes (software development, QA, testing, sales support for redistribution, or technical monitoring), and to formally define Non-Display Usage. Both the Controlled Distributor and Display Usage definitions currently exist in Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies and are being moved into the Exchange's Fee Schedule.

What changed

The Exchange proposes to formalize two changes within its Fee Schedule. First, it seeks to codify a Display Usage fee exemption for Controlled Distributors when data is used solely for software development, QA/testing, sales support for redistribution, or technical monitoring of systems — collectively termed Permitted Purposes. Second, it proposes to formally define Non-Display Usage and related terms (Controlled Distributor, Display Usage) in the Fee Schedule's Definitions section, bringing definitions previously housed in Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies into the Exchange's own regulatory document.

Market data redistributors and users of Cboe EDGX market data products should track this filing as it will affect how Display Usage fees are assessed. Controlled Distributors — entities that both provide data to Users and control entitlements — are currently charged Professional and/or Non-Professional user fees based on tracked Users. Under the proposed codification, Permitted Purpose use cases would be formally exempt from Display Usage fees. Firms should review their current data licensing arrangements and ensure any fee exemption claims align with the proposed Permitted Purposes criteria.

What to do next

  1. Monitor for SEC approval of SR-CboeEDGX-2026-025
  2. Review internal market data fee calculations for Controlled Distributor arrangements
  3. Ensure Permitted Purpose use cases align with proposed codification

Item 1. Text of the Proposed Rule Change (a) Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange" or "EDGX") proposes to amend its Fees Schedule to codify a User Fee exemption and amend the definition of Non-Display Usage. The text of the proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit 5. (b) Not applicable. (c) Not applicable. Item 2. Procedures of the Self-Regulatory Organization (a) The Exchange's President (or designee) pursuant to delegated authority approved the proposed rule change on March 20, 2026. (b) Please refer questions and comments on the proposed rule change to Pat Sexton, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, (312) 786- 7467, or Allyson Van Marter, (312) 786-7098, Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc., 433 West Van Buren Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607. Item 3. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change (a) Purpose The Exchange proposes to (i) codify a User Fee exemption to the Market Data section of its fee schedule and (ii) amend the definition of Non-Display Usage. As 1 discussed further below, the User Fee exemption is currently outlined in the Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies, the Exchange now proposes to codify this in its Fee Schedule.

The Exchange initially submitted the proposed rule change on April 1, 2026 (SR-CboeEDGX-1 2026-016). On April 13, 2026, the Exchange withdrew that filing and submitted this filing.

First, the Exchange proposes to codify that Controlled Distributors, are exempt from Display Usage fees for the market data products listed on the Exchange's fee 2 schedule (each, a "Data Product") where the sole purpose of receiving the data is for software development, quality assurance, testing, sales support relating to redistribution, or for technical monitoring of systems using a Product and not in support of other commercial/business functions (collectively, the "Permitted Purposes). In connection with codifying the Display Usage exemption, the Exchange also proposes to codify the definitions of Controlled Distributor and Display Usage within its Fee Schedule for clarity; both definitions currently exist within the Cboe North American Data Policies. The Exchange has previously applied the User Fee exemption, and while there is no substantive change to how the Exchange applies this, it proposes to formally codify this practice to be within its Fee Schedule. By way of background, Controlled Distributors both (i) provide data to a User and (ii) control the entitlements of and display of information to such User. Meaning, Controlled 3 Distributors entitle individual Users to view the data on a pre-existing Display application. Controlled Distributors are charged with tracking the Users which it enables and, is assessed the appropriate corresponding Professional and/or Non-Professional user

Display Usage means the access to and/or use of a Market Data product by User via a graphical 2 user interface, application or other medium which displays data. See Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies. The Exchange proposes to codify the definition of "Displayed Usage" in the Definitions section of the Market Data Fees schedule in the Exchange's Fees Schedule for transparency and clarity. Display Usage fees refer to Processional and Non-Professional User fees, as well as Enterprise or Digital Media fees, that are assessed for the Exchange Market Data products set forth in the Exchange's fee schedule, as applicable. See Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies. The Exchange proposes to codify the 3 definition of an "Controlled Distributor" in the Definitions section of the Market Data Fees schedule in the Exchange's Fees Schedule for transparency and clarity.

fees, as applicable. The Exchange now proposes to specify in its Fee Schedule that when 4 a Data Product is used for a Permitted Purpose, Users shall not be charged a Display Usage fee as sets forth in the Exchange's fee schedule. The second change the Exchange seeks to make, is to amend the definition of Non- Display Usage. The existing definition covers any method of access of a Data Product that involves access or use by a machine or automated device without access or use of a display by a natural person or persons. The Exchange now seeks to amend this definition to (i) include the facilitation of access and (ii) add that the purpose must not be solely in support of display for a natural person. (b) Statutory Basis The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act. 5 Specifically, the Exchange also believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act, which requires that Exchange rules provide for the equitable 6 allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Members and other persons using its facilities. Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 7 designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.

See EDGX Equities Fee Schedule. As noted above, Display Usage fees are assessed at different 4 rates depending on (i) if the User is a Professional user or a Non-Professional and (ii) for the specific Data Product as set for the Exchange's Market Data. 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 5 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). 6 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 7

User Fee Exemption In particular, the exemption is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members and other recipients of Exchange data. For example, Display Usage of Data Products solely for the enumerated Permitted Purposes does not directly generate revenue. As such, the Exchange believes it equitable to not charge for such usage. Other exchanges and market data offerings have also taken a similar approach when charging for these uses and such exemptions for 8 these purposes are generally accepted within the industry to not be fee liable. The Exchange believes that proposing to codify this exemption is reasonable as no fees will be assessed where there are Permitted Purposes.

Additionally, the Exchange believes the exemption is equitable and non- discriminatory in that it applies uniformly to similarly situated market participants (i.e., all Controlled Distributors whose Users use a Data Product solely for a Permitted Purpose). Further, the Exchange notes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory

See e.g., MIAX Exchange Group Market Data Policies, Section 10 and UTP Plan Administration 8 Data Policies, Administrative Usage Policy - Internal Use Only.

Page 6 of 21

for this to only apply to Display Usage fees of Controlled Distributors, as Uncontrolled Distributors only distribute Data Products where Display Usage fees are not applicable. 9 The Exchange believes that (in addition to codifying the User Fee exemption) codifying the definitions of Display Usage and Controlled Distributors in its Fee Schedule provides further clarity for market participants. With all relevant terms for the Display Usage exemption defined within the Fee Schedule, market participants will be better able to ascertain if this exemption is applicable to them and the specific terms of this exemption. Non-Display Usage Definition In particular, the proposed definition change is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members and other recipients of Exchange data. The change is intended to capture changes in the evolving landscape of technology with firms more frequently leveraging Large Language Models ("LLMs"). Firms that facilitate the transmission of Data Products into "black box" solutions (which include LLMs), may now need to obtain non-display licensing for usage of the Data Product. For example, under the prior definition, a firm that directly ingested a Data Product for the purpose of feeding the data directly into an automated trading strategy would be required to procure a license for Non-Display. However, a firm that ingested a Data Product for training or operating a LLM or that facilitated transmission of a Data Product may not explicitly fall under the definition of Non-Display Usage, despite the

Uncontrolled Distributors are defined as Distributors that do not control the entitlements of and 9 display of information to its Users. See EDGX Equities Fee Schedule.

Page 7 of 21

firm ingesting the data for a non-display purpose. In order to facilitate more equitable outcomes between firms, the Exchange proposes to insert this definition to ensure that Non-Display Usage better covers the intended audience. The intent of this revised definition is not to introduce a new or novel concept, it is instead intended to provide further clarity on firms that should be covered under this license with new uses of Data Products in mind. The Exchange notes that this update better aligns itself with industry standards as well. 10

Additionally, the Exchange believes the revised definition is equitable and non- discriminatory in that it applies uniformly to similarly situated market participants. Item 4. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

See e.g., NASDAQ Data - Artificial Intelligence Policy (Market Data - DataAIPolicy-10 NASDAQ.pdf - All Documents), stating that "Any use of or access to Nasdaq Information including for training of AI models must strictly adhere to the terms of the license governing access to such Nasdaq Information, including maintaining appropriate licenses with redistributors and service facilitators. This includes any use that would subject the data to the following environments outside the license."

Page 8 of 21

The proposed rule changes are grounded in the Exchange's efforts to compete more effectively (e.g., by updating its definition of Non-Display to conform with changes in the industry). Further, the Exchange believes that these changes will not cause any unnecessary or inappropriate burden on intramarket competition, as the exemption applies uniformly to all Controlled Distributors, and in turn, the ultimate end Users are not utilizing the applicable Data Product(s) for commercial or business purposes. Further, the proposed change to codify the User Fee exemption is not designed to address any competitive issues. Indeed, this proposal does not create an unnecessary or inappropriate inter-market burden on competition because it merely clarifies the Exchange's internal process (as stated in the Cboe Global Markets North American Data Policies) on applying the User Fee exemption. Item 5. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received from Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change. Item 6. Extension of Time Period for Commission Action Not applicable. Item 7. Basis for Summary Effectiveness Pursuant to Section 19(b)(3) or for Accelerated Effectiveness Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) or Section 19(b)(7)(D) (a) The proposed rule change is filed for immediate effectiveness pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder. 11 12

(b) The Exchange designates that the proposed rule change establishes or changes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, which renders the proposed rule change effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). At any time within 60 days of the filing of this proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. (c) Not applicable. (d) Not applicable. Item 8. Proposed Rule Change Based on Rules of Another Self-Regulatory Organization or of the Commission The proposed rule change is not based on a rule either of another self-regulatory organization or of the Commission.

In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
