Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’)1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on February 15, 2006, the American Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Amex. The Amex filed this proposal as a ‘‘non1 15 2 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:15 Feb 24, 2006 Jkt 208001 controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.5 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend Amex Rule 903 to provide that the Exchange will typically open four expiration months for each class of options open for trading. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Amex’s Web site at https:// www.amex.com, the Office of the Secretary of the Amex and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. 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 and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. 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 The Exchange is proposing to amend Amex Rule 903 in order to avoid confusion and conform to industry standard. The Amex states that this proposal will not change the manner in which options expiration months are offered and listed, but instead, will clearly set forth how the Exchange will add these additional series. Current Amex Rule 903 sets forth the manner in which options series are offered and listed on the Exchange. In connection with expiration month series, the rule provides that at the commencement of trading on the Exchange of a particular class of options relating to an underlying stock or 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 5 As required by Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the Amex submitted written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing. 9841 Exchange-Traded Fund Share, series of options having three different expiration months in three-month intervals will normally be opened. Although Amex Rule 903 does not specifically provide that four expiration months will be open for trading for each options class, the Exchange in 1989 received approval together with the other options exchanges to provide four expiration months.6 Accordingly, the Exchange submits that this amendment to Amex Rule 903 largely implements the prior Commission approval permitting four outstanding expiration months. The other options exchanges provide that they will open four expiration months for each class of options open for trading with the first two months being the two nearest months, regardless of the quarterly cycle on which the class trades; and the third and fourth being the next two months of the quarterly cycle previously designated by the exchange for that specific class.7 The Exchange believes that it is necessary to amend its rules to codify and conform the listing of options expiration months to the industry standard. Specifically, the Exchange is proposing to add new paragraph (b) to Amex Rule 903 to provide that the Exchange will usually open four expiration months for each class of options open for trading on the Exchange. The first two expiration months will be the two nearest term months, regardless of the quarterly cycle on which the options class trades while the third and fourth expiration months will be the next two months of the quarterly cycle previously designated by the Exchange for the specific class. For example, if the Exchange listed, in late April, a new stock option on a JanuaryApril-July-October quarterly cycle, the Exchange would list the two nearest term months (May and June) and the next two expiration months of the cycle (July and October). When the May series expires, the Exchange would then add the January series. When the June series expires, the Exchange would add the August series as the next nearest month, and would not add April. Current Exchange Rule 903 permits additional expiration month series of the same options class to be added at or about the time a prior expiration month series expires. The rules of the other options exchanges provide that, due to unusual market conditions, new series of options on an individual stock (including an Exchange-Traded Fund 4 17 PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 26934 (June 14, 1989), 54 FR 26283 (June 22, 1989) and 22099 (May 31, 1985), 50 FR 23862 (June 6, 1985). 7 See, e.g., Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’) Rule 5.5 and International Securities Exchange, Inc.
