NYSE files charter amendment tied to security-based swap facility rules
NYSE updates charter rules

The New York Stock Exchange is moving to update the corporate charter framework of parent Intercontinental Exchange to align with regulations covering security-based swap execution facilities. The filing, submitted on May 20, 2026 for immediate effectiveness, also includes non-substantive and conforming revisions that the exchange says do not materially affect its operations.

Highlights

  • New York Stock Exchange LLC filed a rule change under Section 19(b)(1) to amend Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.'s charter to align with SBSEF regulations.
  • The proposed amendment targets regulatory compliance with security-based swap execution facility (SBSEF) rules and includes non-substantive updates and conforming changes.
  • The SEC published the notice for immediate effectiveness and public comment, with NYSE stating the revisions do not substantively affect the exchange.

Regulatory filing and scope of changes

Securities and Exchange Commission notice shows that New York Stock Exchange LLC has filed a proposed rule change under Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 19b-4 to amend the Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.

The proposal is designed to reflect regulations related to security-based swap execution facilities, or SBSEFs, while also making non-substantive updates and conforming changes. The exchange says the text of the proposed rule change is available on its website and at its principal office.

Implications for exchange compliance

The exchange says the amendment is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act and specifically supports the objectives of Section 6(b)(1), which concern an exchange's capacity to carry out the purposes of the law and enforce compliance with federal securities rules and its own rulebook.

NYSE says the proposed revisions do not substantively affect the exchange itself and are focused instead on SBSEFs and related conforming edits. It also says IST has advised that IST Rule 410 would independently provide a means to ensure IST complies with Rule 834(b), separate from the proposed certificate changes.

The Commission is publishing the notice to solicit comments from interested parties, following the filing's immediate effectiveness.
