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

NYSE National has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend the certificate of incorporation of parent company Intercontinental Exchange. The filing is intended to align the charter with regulations for security-based swap execution facilities while also making technical, non-substantive revisions.

Highlights

  • NYSE National filed a charter amendment on May 20, 2026 to update ICE's certificate regarding security-based swap execution facilities (SBSEFs) rules.
  • The changes are conforming and technical, focused on SBSEFs, and NYSE National states they do not substantively alter exchange operations.
  • The SEC has published the proposed rule change for public comment, with any further regulatory action pending stakeholder feedback.

Filing scope and regulatory purpose

As reported by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the exchange submitted the proposed rule change on May 20, 2026 under Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 19b-4. The notice is published to solicit comments from interested parties on the amendment.

The proposal updates the Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., or ICE, to reflect rules related to security-based swap execution facilities, known as SBSEFs. NYSE National also says the filing includes conforming and technical changes that do not alter the substance of the exchange's operations.

Operational impact and compliance context

The exchange states in its filing that the changes would support the orderly operation of the market and allow it to continue complying with the Exchange Act. It says the revisions do not substantively affect NYSE National because they are focused on SBSEFs and related conforming adjustments.

The proposed rule change is available on the exchange's website and at its principal office. The SEC notice indicates the Commission is now seeking public comment before any further regulatory action.

The SEC’s proposal to rescind the 2024 climate disclosure rule would roll back a requirement for public companies to report certain climate-related risks and emissions, a mandate that never took effect amid ongoing litigation. Our earlier coverage noted that the agency opened a 60-day public comment window and that, even if the federal rule is withdrawn, some companies may still face climate-reporting obligations under California and EU requirements.
