I. Introduction
On August 16, 2006, the American
Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or
‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change to amend Amex Rules 918 and
918–ANTE relating to trading rotations
and trading halts. On December 5, 2006,
Amex filed Amendment No. 1 to the
proposed rule change. The proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment
No. 1, was published for comment in
the Federal Register on December 29,

change as modified by Amendment No.
1.
II. Discussion and Commission
Findings
The Exchange proposes to amend
Amex Rules 918 and 918–ANTE relating
to trading rotations and trading halts.
Specifically, Amex Rules 918(a) and
918–ANTE(a) currently provide that a
trading rotation shall be employed at the
opening of each business day following
the opening of the underlying security
in the primary market. Amex Rules
918(b) and 918–ANTE(b) provide that
trading on any Exchange option contract
may be halted or suspended whenever
the Exchange deems such action
appropriate. Included in these rules is a
list of factors that the Exchange may use
to determine if a trading halt or
suspension is warranted. Pursuant to
Amex Rules 918(b)(1) and 918–
ANTE(b)(1), the Exchange may halt or
suspend trading in an option contract if
the underlying security has been halted
or suspended in the primary market.
Similarly, the Exchange may also
consider, pursuant to Amex Rules
918(b)(2) and 918–ANTE(b)(2), halting
or suspending trading in an option
contract if the opening of such
underlying stock in the primary market
has been delayed due to unusual
circumstances.
‘‘Primary market’’ is defined in Amex
Rules 900(b)(26) and 900–ANTE(b)(26)
as (i) With respect to an underlying
equity security which is principally
traded on a national securities
exchange, the principal exchange
market in which the underlying security
is traded, (ii) with respect to an
underlying equity security which is
principally traded in the over-thecounter market, the market reflected by
Nasdaq,2 and (iii) with respect to any
other type of security, the market
reflected by any widely recognized
quotation dissemination system.
The Exchange proposes to amend
Amex Rules 918(a)(1) and Amex Rule
918–Ante(a)(1) to permit the opening
rotation to begin once the underlying
security has opened for trading in any
market. In addition, Amex proposes to
amend Amex Rule 918–Ante
Commentary .01(d) to provide that the
automated opening rotation shall begin
1 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54995
(December 21, 2006), 71 FR 78474.
2 The Commission notes that Nasdaq currently
operates as a national securities exchange with
respect to Nasdaq-listed securities and as a facility
of the NASD with respect to non-Nasdaq exchange
listed securities.

once the opening trade or quote is
disseminated by any market. Amex
proposes to amend Amex Rules
918(b)(1) and 918–ANTE(b)(1) to
implement trading halts and
suspensions in any options contract if
the underlying security is subject to a
trading halt or suspension across several
markets or in the primary listed market.
Amex also proposes to amend Amex
Rules 918(b)(2) and 918–ANTE(b)(2) to
institute trading halts and suspensions
in any options contract if there is a
delay in the opening of the underlying
security across several markets or in the
primary listed market because of
unusual circumstances. Additionally,
the Exchange proposes to amend Amex
Rules 918 Commentary .01(c) and 918–
ANTE Commentary .01(g) to permit the
closing rotation to begin once the final
price for the underlying security is
established in the trading markets and/
or the primary listed market. Finally,
the Exchange proposes to make
clarifying changes to Amex Rules 918
and 918–ANTE to clarify that trading
rotations, halts and suspensions apply
to any options on a stock, exchange
traded fund and trust issued receipt.
The Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities
exchange and, in particular, the
requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,3 which requires, among other
things, Amex’s rules be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with
respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system.4
Amex represented that the analysis of
which market is the ‘‘primary market’’
for purposes of trading rotations and
halts has become burdensome and
uncertain due to trading of underlying
securities in multiple markets. The
Commission believes that the proposed
rule change will provide Amex with
flexibility to determine when to permit
opening and closing rotations to begin
by removing the requirement that it
analyze which market is the primary
market. As proposed, Amex may
3 15

approving this proposed rule change the
Commission notes that it has considered the
proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
