Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1, and Rule 19b–4 2 thereunder, notice is hereby given that on September 3, 2009, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (‘‘Phlx’’ 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 Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a ‘‘noncontroversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 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 Phlx rules to amend its Rule 1079 (FLEX Index, Equity and Currency Options), to amend its Rule 1079 (FLEX Index, Equity and Currency Options), [sic] to extend through September 4, 2010, the Exchange’s pilot program that reduced from 250 contracts to 150 contracts the minimum value size for an opening transaction (other than FLEX Quotes responsive to a FLEX Request for Quotes) 5 in any FLEX Equity Option 6 series in which there is no open interest at the time a FLEX Request for Quotes (‘‘RFQ’’) is submitted (the ‘‘Pilot Program’’).7 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

See Phlx Rule 1079(a)(8)(C). 6 FLEX Equity Options are flexible exchangetraded options contracts that overlie equity securities. FLEX Equity Options provide investors with the ability to customize basic option features including size, expiration date, exercise style, and certain exercise prices. FLEX Equity Options (as also FLEX index options) may have expiration dates within five years. See Phlx Rule 1079. 7 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57824 (May 15, 2008), 73 FR 29805 (May 22, 2008) (SR– 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/ micro.aspx?id=PHLXRulefilings, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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 purpose of the proposed rule change is to extend the Pilot Program through September 4, 2010. On or about May 15, 2008, the Exchange filed SR–Phlx-2008–35 with the Commission to establish the Pilot Program. The Pilot Program reduced the minimum value size for an opening transaction (other than FLEX Quotes responsive to a FLEX RFQ) in any FLEX Equity Option series in which there is no open interest at the time an RFQ is submitted.8 The proposed extension of the Pilot Program for opening FLEX option transactions should provide members that use FLEX Equity Options greater flexibility in structuring the terms of such options to better comport with the particular needs of the members and their customers. Prior to the Pilot Program, Phlx Rule 1079(a)(8)(A) set the minimum opening transaction value size in the case of a FLEX Equity Option in a newly Phlx–2008–35) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness establishing the Pilot Program). 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57824 (May 15, 2008), 73 FR 29805 (May 22, 2008) (SR– Phlx–2008–35) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness establishing the Pilot Program). The filing also modified the minimum value size for an opening transaction in a currently-opened FLEX Equity series (other than FLEX Quotes responsive to a RFQ) to the lesser of 100 contracts or the number of contracts overlying $1 million in the underlying securities. Other options exchanges have established FLEX pilot programs that are similar to the Exchange’s. See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57429 (March 4, 2008), 73 FR 13058 (March 11, 2008) (SR–CBOE–2006–36) (approval order). E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1
