ISE’s principal office, 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
ISE 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 ISE 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 June 16, 2003, the Commission
approved the ISE’s Pilot Program, which
allows the ISE to list series with $1
strike price intervals on equity option
classes that overlie up to five individual
stocks, provided that the strike prices
are $20 or less, but not less than $3,
subject to the terms of the Pilot
Program.5 The Pilot Program, after being
extended on three prior occasions,6 is
set to expire on June 5, 2006.7 The
Exchange may currently select up to five
individual stocks to be included in the
Pilot Program. The Exchange, however,
is also permitted to list options on other
individual stocks at $1 strike price
intervals if other options exchanges
listed those series pursuant to their
respective rules. The Exchange has
selected the following five options
classes to participate in the Pilot
Program: AMR Corp. [AMR], Clapine
Corp. [CPN], EMC Corp. [EMC], El Paso
Corp. [EP], and Sun Microsystems Inc.
[SUNW]. The ISE believes the Pilot

(June 13, 2003), 68 FR 37036 (June 20, 2003) (order

Program Approval Order’’).

Program until August 5, 2004); 50060 (July 22,

until June 5, 2005); and 51769 (May 31, 2005), 70

Program has been successful and well
received by its members and the
investing public. Thus, the ISE proposes
to extend the Pilot Program until June
5, 2007.
In support of this proposed rule
change, and as required by the Pilot
Program Approval Order and the Pilot
Extension Notices, the Exchange is
submitting to the Commission a report
(‘‘Pilot Program Report’’), attached as
Exhibit 3 to the proposal, that details
the Exchange’s experience with the Pilot
Program. Specifically, the Pilot Program
Repot contains data and written analysis
regarding the five options classes
included in the Pilot Program for the
period between May 2, 2005, and
February 28, 2006.
The Exchange believes there is
sufficient investor interest and demand
to extend the Pilot Program for another
year. The Exchange continues to believe
that the Pilot Program has provided
investors with greater trading
opportunities and flexibility and the
ability to more closely tailor their
investment strategies and decisions to
the movement of the underlying
security. Furthermore, the Exchange has
not detected any material proliferation
of illiquid options series resulting from
the narrower strike price intervals.
2. Statutory Basis
The ISE believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder
and, in particular, the requirements of
section 6(b) of the Act.8 Specifically, the
ISE believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements under
section 6(b)(5) of the Act 9 that the rules
of a national securities exchange be
designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The ISE believes that
extension of the Pilot Program until
June 5, 2007 will result in a continuing
benefit to investors by allowing them to
more closely tailor their investment
decisions, and will allow the ISE to
further study investor interest in $1
strike price intervals.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The ISE believes that the proposed
rule change does not impose any burden
on competition that is not necessary or

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received from
Members, Participants, or Others
The ISE has not solicited, and does
not intend to solicit, comments on this
proposed rule change. The ISE has not
received any unsolicited written
comments from members or other
interested persons.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The ISE has filed the proposed rule
change pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 10 and subparagraph (f)(6) of
Rule 19b–4 thereunder.11 Because the
foregoing proposed rule change: (1)
Does not significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any
significant burden on competition; and
(3) by its terms does not become
operative for 30 days after the date of
this filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest, the proposed rule
change has become effective pursuant to
section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder. As required
under Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the ISE
provided the Commission with written
notice of its intention to file the
proposed rule change at least five
business days prior to filing the
proposal with the Commission or such
shorter period as designated by the
Commission.12

approval of the Pilot Program, if the ISE proposes
to: (1) Extend the Pilot Program; (2) expand the
number of options eligible for inclusion in the Pilot
Program; or (3) seek permanent approval of the Pilot
Program, it must submit a Pilot Program report to
the Commission along with the filing of its proposal
to extend, expand, or seek permanent approval of
the Pilot Program. The ISE must file any such
proposal and the Pilot Program report with the
Commission at least 60 days prior to the expiration
of the Pilot Program. The Pilot Program report must
cover the entire time the Pilot Program was in effect
and must include: (1) Data and written analysis on
the open interest and trading volume for options (at
all strike price intervals) selected for the Pilot
Program; (2) delisted options series (for all strike
price intervals) for all options selected for the Pilot
Program; (3) an assessment of the appropriateness
of $1 strike price intervals for the options the ISE
selected for the Pilot Program; (4) an assessment of
the impact of the Pilot Program on the capacity of
the ISE’s, the Options Price Reporting Authority’s,
and vendors’ automated systems; (5) any capacity
problems or other problems that arose during the
operation of the Pilot Program and how the ISE
addressed them; (6) any complaints that the ISE
received during the operation of the Pilot Program
and how the ISE addressed them; and (7) any

of the Proposed Rule Change
The ISE proposes to amend Supplementary Material .01 to ISE Rule
504, ``Series of Options Contracts Open for Trading,'' to extend until
June 5, 2007, its pilot program for listing options series on selected
stocks trading below $20 at one-point intervals (``Pilot Program'').
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the ISE's Web site
(https://www.iseoptions.com), at the ISE's principal office, and at the

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 ISE 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 ISE 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 June 16, 2003, the Commission approved the ISE's Pilot Program,
which allows the ISE to list series with $1 strike price intervals on
equity option classes that overlie up to five individual stocks,
provided that the strike prices are $20 or less, but not less than $3,
subject to the terms of the Pilot Program.\5\ The Pilot Program, after
being extended on three prior occasions,\6\ is set to expire on June 5,
2006.\7\ The Exchange may currently select up to five individual stocks
to be included in the Pilot Program. The Exchange, however, is also
permitted to list options on other individual stocks at $1 strike price
intervals if other options exchanges listed those series pursuant to
their respective rules. The Exchange has selected the following five
options classes to participate in the Pilot Program: AMR Corp. [AMR],
Clapine Corp. [CPN], EMC Corp. [EMC], El Paso Corp. [EP], and Sun
Microsystems Inc. [SUNW]. The ISE believes the Pilot Program has been
successful and well received by its members and the investing public.
Thus, the ISE proposes to extend the Pilot Program until June 5, 2007.

In support of this proposed rule change, and as required by the
Pilot Program Approval Order and the Pilot Extension Notices, the
Exchange is submitting to the Commission a report (``Pilot Program
Report''), attached as Exhibit 3 to the proposal, that details the
Exchange's experience with the Pilot Program. Specifically, the Pilot
Program Repot contains data and written analysis regarding the five
options classes included in the Pilot Program for the period between
May 2, 2005, and February 28, 2006.
The Exchange believes there is sufficient investor interest and
