II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Amex included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change, as amended, and
discussed any comments it received on
the proposed rule change, as amended.
The text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in item
IV below. The Amex has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
On May 20, 2004, the Commission
approved the Amex’s proposal to
implement a new options trading
platform known as the Amex New
Trading Environment (‘‘ANTE’’). On
May 25, 2004, the Amex began rolling
out the ANTE System on its trading
floor on a specialist’s post-byspecialist’s post basis. Amex Rule 918—
ANTE (a)(4) currently requires an
automatic trading rotation to be
employed promptly after the close of
trading on each trading day for every
option series. The automated closing
rotation is used to execute at-the-close
orders received by the Exchange prior to
the close. If no at-the-close orders are
received in a particular option series,
the ANTE System’s automated closing
rotation simply closes trading in that
series. Orders may be entered, modified
or cancelled into the ANTE System up
to 4:02 p.m. or 4:15 p.m. for options on
Exchange Traded Fund Shares, when
the underlying Fund Share ceases
trading at 4:15 p.m. Quotes may be
submitted up until the commencement
of the rotation in such series. The
closing rotation may begin once the
underlying security has closed.
The Exchange believes that use of the
ANTE System during the last eleven
months has shown that a closing
rotation is not necessary and serves no
purpose when no market-on-close or
limit-on-close orders have been
submitted. Therefore, the Exchange
proposes to revise the text of Amex Rule
918—ANTE (a)(4) to provide that
closing rotations shall only occur in
those option series in which market-onclose and limit-on-close orders have
been submitted.
