exchange-traded notes, are long-term notes that are
the non-convertible debt of an issuer with a term
of at least one year but not greater than thirty years.
These exchange-traded securities are designed for
investors who desire to participate in a specific
market segment by providing exposure to one or
more identifiable underlying securities,
commodities, currencies, derivative instruments or
market indexes. The Exchange’s listing standards
for options on Index-Linked Securities were

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
self-regulatory organization 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 those 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 parts 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 this proposal is to
amend Chapter IV, Section 6 and
Chapter VI, Section 2 to establish strike
price intervals and trading hours for
options on Index-Linked Securities
(‘‘ILS’’), also known as exchange-traded
notes (‘‘ETN’’), prior to the Exchange
proposing to list and trade these new
products.
The Commission has approved the
Exchange’s proposal, as well as the
proposals of other options exchanges, to
enable the listing and trading of options
on ILS (ETN).4 Options trading has not
commenced to date and is contingent
upon the Commission’s approval of The
Options Clearing Corporation’s (‘‘OCC’’)
proposed supplement to the Options
Disclosure Document (‘‘ODD’’) that will
provide disclosure regarding options on
Index-Linked Securities.5

(May 21, 2009) (SR–NASDAQ–2009–046) (notice of
filing and immediate effectiveness). Other
exchanges have established similar listing
standards. See Securities Exchange Act Release
Nos. 58571 (September 17, 2008), 73 FR 55188

$1 Strikes for ILS (ETN) Options
Prior to the commencement of trading
options on Index-Linked Securities, the
Exchange is proposing to establish that
strike price intervals of $1 will be
permitted where the strike price is less
than $200. Where the strike price is
greater than $200, $5 strikes will be
permitted. These proposed changes are
reflected by the addition of Chapter IV,
Section 6, Supplementary Material
.01(c) to Section 6.
The Exchange is seeking to establish
$1 strikes for ILS (ETN) options where
the strike price is less than $200 because
the Exchange believes the marketplace
and investors will be expecting these
types of options to trade in a similar
manner to options on exchange-traded
funds (‘‘ETFs’’).6 Strike prices for ETF
options are permitted in $1 or greater
intervals where the strike price is $200
or less and $5 or greater where the strike
price is greater than $200.7 Accordingly,
the Exchange believes that the rationale
for permitting $1 strikes for ETF options
equally applies to permitting $1 strikes
for ILS (ETN) options, and that investors
will be better served if $1 strike price
intervals are available for ILS (ETN)
options where the strike price is less
than $200. The Exchange believes that
$1 strike price intervals for options on
Index-Linked Securities will provide
investors with greater flexibility by
allowing them to establish positions that
are better tailored to meet their
investment objectives.
Trading Hours for ILS (ETN) Options
The Exchange proposes to amend
Chapter VI, Section 2(b) to provide that
options contracts on exchange-traded
notes including Index-Linked
Securities, as defined in Chapter IV,
Section 3(l), may be traded on the
Exchange until 4:15 p.m. each business
day. This will establish similar trading
hours for ILS (ETN) options as the
currently-established trading hours for
ETF options.8
The Exchange has analyzed its
capacity and believes the Exchange and
the Options Price Reporting Authority
(‘‘OPRA’’) have the necessary systems
capacity to handle the additional traffic
associated with the listing and trading
See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60872
(October 23, 2009), 74 FR 55878 (October 29, 2009)
(SR–OCC–2009–14) (approval order).
6 ETFs may also be known in the rules as
Exchange Traded Funds or Fund Shares. See, for
example, Chapter IV, Section 6(g) and Chapter 6,
Section 2(b).
7 See proposed Chapter IV, Section 6,
Supplementary Material .01(b) to Section 6, which,
like subsection (c), is renumbered for internal
consistency.
8 See Chapter VI, Section 2.

of $1 strikes where the strike price is
less than $200 for ILS (ETN) options.
The Exchange expects that other
option exchanges that have adopted
rules providing for the listing and
trading of options on Index-Linked
Securities will submit similar
proposals.9
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 10 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 11
in particular, in that it is 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 facilitating
transactions in securities, and to remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market
and a national market system, by having
strike price intervals and trading hours
established prior to the commencement
of trading in options on Index-Linked
Securities and thereby lessening the
likelihood for investor confusion.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts 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 this proposal is to amend Chapter IV, Section 6 and
Chapter VI, Section 2 to establish strike price intervals and trading
hours for options on Index-Linked Securities (``ILS''), also known as
exchange-traded notes (``ETN''), prior to the Exchange proposing to
list and trade these new products.
The Commission has approved the Exchange's proposal, as well as the
proposals of other options exchanges, to enable the listing and trading
of options on ILS (ETN).\4\ Options trading has not commenced to date
and is contingent upon the Commission's approval of The Options
Clearing Corporation's (``OCC'') proposed supplement to the Options
Disclosure Document (``ODD'') that will provide disclosure regarding
options on Index-Linked Securities.\5\
