the Exchange,38 and not on an ongoing basis.
Moreover, the Commission notes the Exchanges representations that the proposed promotional services and listing ceremonies will be offered to all listed Companies on the same terms and conditions without differentiation,39
and that the Exchange will offer comparable promotional services and listing ceremonies of comparable value to each listed Company.40 Accordingly, the Commission believes that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and, in particular, that the services are equitably allocated among issuers consistent with Section 6b4 of the Act,41 and the rule does not unfairly discriminate between issuers consistent with Section 6b5 of the Act.42 The Commission also notes that the Exchange has represented that if it expands the menu of promotional services offered, or elects to provide new products or services to listed Companies, the Exchange will incorporate such changes in a new proposed rule change.43
The Commission also believes that the Exchange is responding to competitive pressures in the market for listings in making this proposal. Specifically, the Exchange stated in its proposal that it expects to face competition as a new entrant in the market for exchange listings, and that it believes the promotional services and listing ceremonies that it proposes to offer to listed companies will facilitate LTSEs ability to attract and retain listings.44 In particular, the Exchange maintains that it expects to face significant competition from NYSE and Nasdaq for listings, and that comparable offerings of promotional services and listing ceremonies are already provided by NYSE.45 Accordingly, the Commission believes that the proposed rule reflects the current competitive environment for exchange listings among national securities exchanges, and is appropriate and consistent with Section 6b8 of the Act.46

modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice of the amended proposal in the Federal Register. As discussed above, in Amendment No. 1, the Exchange clarified that: i The proposed promotional services and listing ceremonies will be offered to Companies on or around the time of listing, in connection with listing on the Exchange; and ii that the Exchange will offer comparable promotional services and listing ceremonies of comparable value to each listed Company. The Commission believes that these clarifications will help to ensure that individual listed Companies are not given specially negotiated packages of products and services to list or remain listed, as well as to ensure that the services are equitably allocated among issuers consistent with Section 6b4 of the Act 47 and that the rule does not unfairly discriminate between issuers consistent with Section 6b5 of the Act.48 Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19b2 of the Act,49 to approve the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.
VI. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19b2 of the Act,50 that the proposed rule change SRLTSE2020
22, as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.
For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.51
