Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter V, Section 18 (The Price Improvement Period (‘‘PIP’’)) of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC (‘‘BOX’’).

CFR 240.19b–4. VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:37 Apr 05, 2010 Jkt 220001 1. Purpose The PIP currently allows Initiating Participants 3 to enter two-sided orders for execution with the possibility of receiving a price that improves upon the National Best Bid or Offer (‘‘NBBO’’) (‘‘price improvement’’). The customer side of these orders (‘‘PIP Order’’) is exposed 4 to Options Participants to give them an opportunity to compete for allocations in the PIP by entering orders (‘‘Improvement Orders’’) at the proposed cross price or better. This provides an opportunity for the PIP Order to receive price improvement. PIP Orders are submitted to BOX with a matching guaranteed contra order (‘‘Primary Improvement Order’’), equal to the full size of the PIP Order. The Primary Improvement Order currently must represent a single price (‘‘Single-Priced Primary Improvement Order’’) 5 that is equal to or better than that of the NBBO at the time of the commencement of the PIP. The purpose of this proposed rule change is to add an auto-match functionality within the PIP for the Initiating Participant to submit a Primary Improvement Order that will automatically match both the price and size of all competing quotes and orders at any price level achieved during the PIP auction or only up to a designated limit price (‘‘Max Improvement Primary 3 Options Participants, both OFPs and Market Makers, who submit PIP Orders for price improvement. 4 BOX commences a PIP by broadcasting a message to all Options Participants that (1) states that a Primary Improvement Order has been processed; (2) contains information concerning series, size, PIP Start Price and side of the market, and; (3) states when the PIP will conclude (‘‘PIP Broadcast’’). 5 Presently, a Single-Priced Submission is the only manner in which an Options Participant may start a PIP. PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Improvement Order’’). Either the SinglePriced Primary Improvement Order or the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order will designate the PIP auction start price (‘‘PIP Start Price’’), which shall be equal to or better than the NBBO at the time of commencement of the PIP. With a Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order the Initiating Participant does not respond at all, but instead must honor the prices set forth by the competing orders, including booked unrelated orders, received from other Options Participants. After the commencement of a PIP, the Initiating Participant would not be able to cancel or modify the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order. In this case, the Initiating Participant would not have control over the prices at which it receives an allocation at the conclusion of the PIP auction. Under the proposal, at the conclusion of the PIP, the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order shall be allocated its full size at each price level where there are competing quotes or orders, except where restricted by any designated max improvement limit price, until a price level is reached where the balance of the PIP Order can be fully executed. Only at such price level will the Initiating Participant retain priority for the greater of one contract or 40% of the remaining size of the PIP Order. The following example illustrates how the proposed PIP auto-match functionality will operate for the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order: At the commencement of the PIP the NBBO is 2.00 (bid)—2.10 (offer). The Initiating Participant submits to the PIP a customer order to sell 155 contracts at $2.01 (‘‘the PIP Order’’) while simultaneously submitting a guaranteed contra Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order with a PIP Start Price of $2.01 (bid) and a designated max improvement limit price of $2.04 (bid). During the PIP auction the following competing orders were received from Options Participants: PIP Participant A: $2.05 (bid) for 5 contracts (a booked unrelated order); PIP Participant B: $2.03 (bid) for 15 contracts; PIP Participant C: $2.02 (bid) for 10 contracts; and PIP Participant D: $2.01 (bid) for 155 contracts. The following allocations shall occur at the conclusion of the PIP auction: • Participant A is allocated 5 contracts at $2.05. Æ Remaining size of PIP Order is 150. Æ Note that Initiating Participant is not allocated any quantity at this price level because it exceeds the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order designated limit price of $2.04. • Initiating Participant and Participant B are each allocated 15 contracts at $2.03.
