I. Introduction On March 18, 2008, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the ‘‘Exchange’’ or the ‘‘ISE’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposal to expose public customer orders that are not executable on the Exchange before sending an order through the intermarket linkage system (a ‘‘Linkage Order’’) on behalf of the public customer. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 31, 2008.3 The Commission received one comment letter regarding the proposal.4 ISE filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change on May 7, 2008.5 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57551 (March 25, 2008), 73 FR 16917. 4 See letter from Lisa J. Fall, General Counsel, Boston Options Exchange (‘‘BOX’’), to Nancy M. Morris, Secretary, Commission, dated May 2, 2007 (‘‘BOX Comment’’). 5 In Partial Amendment No. 1, the Exchange: (1) Amended the rule text to add subsection (e) to Supplementary Material .02 to Rule 803 to state that a ‘‘pattern or practice of submitting unrelated orders that cause an exposure period to conclude early will be deemed conduct inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade and a violation of Rule 400 and other Exchange Rules’’; and (2) confirmed that the obligation of primary market makers under existing Rule 803(c)(2)(ii) to address public customer orders that are not automatically executed because there is a better price on another exchange includes the handling of the balance of an order that initially receives a partial execution on the Exchange. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES 2 17 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:18 May 16, 2008 Jkt 214001 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, from interested persons and is simultaneously approving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis. II. Description of the Proposal As described in the proposal, the ISE will not automatically execute a customer’s options order when the ISE’s best bid or offer (‘‘BBO’’) is inferior to the national best bid or offer (‘‘NBBO’’).6 Under ISE Rule 803(c)(2)(ii), the primary market maker (‘‘PMM’’) is obligated to address public customer orders that are not automatically executed because there is a better price on another exchange.7 Rule 803(c) specifies that the PMM can either execute the order or send a Linkage Order to any other exchange displaying the best price in an attempt to get the better price for the public customer.8 Under the current procedure, if the PMM does not execute the public customer order, it sends a Linkage Order(s) to a competing exchange(s) even though there may be other ISE market makers who would be willing to execute the public customer order at the better price.9 Under the proposal, before the PMM sends a Linkage Order on behalf of a public customer, the public customer order will be exposed at the NBBO price for a period established by the Exchange not to exceed one second.10 During the exposure period, Exchange market makers may enter responses up to the size of the order being exposed in the regular trading increment applicable to the option. If at the end of the exposure period, the order is executable at the then-current NBBO and ISE is not quoting at the then-current NBBO, the order will be executed against responses that equal or better the then-current NBBO.11 The exposure period will be 6 See ISE Rule 714. Exchange noted in Amendment No. 1 that this obligation of the PMM to address these public customer orders includes the handling of the balance of an order that initially receives a partial execution on ISE. 8 ISE Rules, Chapter 19 (Intermarket Linkage Rules). 9 When a PMM sends a Linkage Order to another exchange, it is charged the other exchange’s execution fee. 10 The Exchange will issue a Circular to inform members of the time period. The Exchange clarified in Amendment No. 1 that this exposure process will apply to the balance of an order that received a partial execution on ISE. See supra note 7. 11 Executions will be allocated pro-rata based on size (i.e., the percentage of the total number of contracts available at the same price that is 7 The PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 terminated if the exposed order becomes executable on the ISE at the prevailing NBBO or if the Exchange receives an unrelated order that could trade against the exposed order at the prevailing NBBO price.12 If, after an order is exposed, the order cannot be executed in full on the Exchange at the thencurrent NBBO or better, and it is marketable against the then-current NBBO, the PMM will send a Linkage Order on the customer’s behalf for the balance of the order as provided in Rule 803(c)(2)(ii). If the balance of the order is not marketable against the thencurrent NBBO, it will be placed on the ISE book. Immediate-or-cancel orders are cancelled if they cannot be executed on the ISE upon entry. Therefore, such orders are not handled by the PMM under Rule 803(c)(2)(ii) and will not be exposed under this proposal. The Commission received one comment letter regarding the proposed rule change.13 The commenter believes that ISE’s proposal is not consistent with Rule 602 of Regulation NMS (‘‘Quote Rule’’),14 which ‘‘requires a responsible broker-dealer to execute an order at its quote when that order is presented.’’ 15 Specifically, the commenter believes that, if a PMM or CMM is at the ISE best bid or offer on the opposite side of the market at the time the public customer order is received, that public customer order has been ‘‘presented’’ to the PMM or CMM under the Quote Rule.16 As a result, the commenter concludes that the proposal is inconsistent with the Quote Rule because it would permit public customer orders to be executed after the exposure period at a price or size inferior to the price or size on ISE at order presentment.17 The commenter also requests clarification of the handling of the balance of a public customer order, a portion of which is automatically executed on ISE at the NBBO. In that scenario, the commenter was unclear whether the balance of the order would be routed as Linkage Orders or handled under the proposed exposure period. In this regard, ISE represented by the size of a market maker’s response). 12 The order will be executed against orders and quotes on the book and responses received during the exposure period in price priority. At the same price, customer orders will be executed first in time priority and then all other interest (orders, quotes and responses) will be allocated pro-rata based on size. 13 See BOX Comment, supra note 4. 14 17 CFR 242.602. 15 See BOX Comment, supra note 4, at 2. 16 See generally BOX Comment, supra note 4, at 2 to 6. 17 Id at 6.
