On May 20, 2014, the Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Rule 9b–1 under the Securities PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24985 Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 five preliminary copies of a supplement to amend the options disclosure document (‘‘ODD’’) to include disclosure regarding foreign currency index options and amend disclosure regarding implied volatility index options (‘‘April 2015 Supplement’’).2 On April 15, 2015, the Commission received from the OCC five definitive copies of the April 2015 Supplement.3 Foreign Currency Index Options Currently, the ODD states that indexes that may underlie options include stock indexes, variability indexes, strategybased indexes, dividend indexes, and relative performance indexes. In April 2013, the Commission approved a proposed rule change by the International Securities Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE’’) to list options on the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index.4 The April 2015 Supplement amends disclosures in the ODD to add foreign currency indexes as a type of index that can underlie an option, in order to accommodate the trading of options on the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index and similarly structured foreign currency indexes.5 Specifically, the April 2015 Supplement adds new disclosure regarding the characteristics of foreign currency index options and their special risks. In addition, the supplement adds an example of the calculation of a foreign currency index. The supplement also amends disclosures in the ODD to accommodate the fact that components of foreign currency indexes are foreign currencies rather than securities (e.g., by referring to ‘‘components’’ of an index rather than ‘‘constituent securities’’ of an index). Implied Volatility Index Options The ODD currently contains general disclosures on the characteristics and risks of trading standardized options on variability indexes. The ODD states that variability indexes are indexes intended 1 17 CFR 240.9b–1. email from Jean M.

Foreign currency indexes are calculated using exchange rates. 2 See E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM 01MYN1
