(“Nadex”, the “Exchange”) submitted to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“Act”), and section §40.6(a) of the regulations promulgated by the Commission under the Act (the “Regulations”), its intent to amend language in Rule 2.9 to clarify that Nadex will retain jurisdiction over anyone who initiates a transaction on the exchange, either directly or through an intermediary, after termination or revocation of the individual’s trading privileges with respect to any transactional or Rule-related matter involving that individual.
