AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
Cboe Exchange proposes to simplify its monthly Floor Booth rental fees. The current tiered pricing for perimeter booths (ranging from $400 down to $100 per booth depending on quantity) will be replaced with a flat rate of $250 per booth for all perimeter booths. Booths located inside a trading crowd will continue to be charged $750 per month. The Exchange states that renting booths is entirely optional and not required to conduct open outcry trading. The change is intended to streamline the fee structure and bring it in line with fees at other exchanges with physical trading floors.
