② The Options Regulatory Fee ('ORF') is a fee assessed by exchanges on their members. The ORF fees are typically passed-through by members to their customers. ORF is collected by The Options Clearing Corp ("The OCC") on behalf of the U.S. options Exchanges. The stated purpose of the fee is to recover a portion of the costs related to the supervision and regulation of the options markets. These activities include routine surveillance, investigations, as well as policy, rulemaking, interpretive and enforcement activities. The applicable fee rate may result in a discrepancy with the fee charged by the upstream brokers or the relevant exchanges, and any excess fee will be retained while deficiency will not be charged to clients.

③ US Option settlement fees are assessed by U.S. clearing, settlement, and other institutions to cover costs including but not limited to NSCC and DTC fees and use a blended rate. If the blended rate results in a discrepancy, the charging party will retain any excess fees, but will not charge clients for any deficiency. Introduction to US Stock Multi-Leg Options Order Fees: US multi-leg options order may consist of either a combination of US options or combination of US options + stocks/ETFs. Each leg in a multi-leg options order is charged separately and subject to the minimum fee rate. Total fees are calculated by adding up the fees for each individual leg.
