Regulation

Rules

BATS Trading Inc. received approval on August 18, 2008, from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to operate as a registered national securities exchange. The transition into an exchange, from the firm's current regulatory status as an ECN, is expected to take approximately 60 days from the time of approval.

The SEC will regulate the Exchange. As a self-regulatory organization ("SRO"), BATS will oversee and regulate trading conducted on the Exchange. BATS takes its responsibilities in this - and every other regard - very seriously and will continue to work to maintain the integrity of the BATS marketplace as we transition into and operate as an Exchange.
