Under the Pilot Program, NYSE Arca may select up to five approved option classes on which One Week Option Series could be opened.6 A series could be opened on any Friday that is a business day and would expire on the next Friday that is a business day.7 If a Friday were not a business day, the series could be opened (or would expire) on the first business day immediately prior to that Friday. For each class selected for the Pilot Program, the Exchange usually would open five One Week Option Series in that class for each expiration date. The strike price of each One Week Option Series would be fixed at a price per share, with at least two strike prices above and two strike prices below the value of the underlying security or calculated index value at about the time that the One Week Option Series is opened.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52013 (July 12, 2005), 70 FR 41471 (July 19, 2005) (SR–PCX–2005–32). Under NYSE Arca Rules 5.19 and 6.4, the Pilot Program is scheduled to expire on July 12, 2006. 6 A One Week Option Series could be opened in any option class that satisfied the applicable listing criteria under NYSE Arca rules (i.e., stock options, options on Exchange Traded Fund Shares as defined under NYSE Arca Rule 5.3, or options on indexes). The Exchange could also list and trade One Week Option Series on any option class that is selected by another exchange that employs a similar pilot program. 7 One Week Option Series would be settled in the same manner as the monthly expiration series in the same class. Thus, if the monthly option contract for a particular class were A.M.-settled, as most index options are, the One Week Option Series for that class also would be A.M.-settled; if the monthly option contract for a particular class were P.M.settled, as most non-index options are, the One Week Option Series for that class also would be P.M.-settled. Similarly, One Week Option Series for a particular class are physically settled or cashsettled in the same manner as the monthly option contract in that class. E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM 07JYN1
