Purpose The purpose of this filing is to identify the next seventy-five options classes to be added to the Penny Pilot effective August 2, 2010. In the Exchange’s filing to adopt rules to govern BATS Options,4 the Exchange proposed commencing operations for BATS Options by trading all options classes that were, as of such date, traded by other options exchanges pursuant to the Penny Pilot and then expanding the Penny Pilot on a quarterly basis, 75 classes at a time, through August 2010. Each such quarterly expansion would be of the seventy-five most actively traded multiply listed options classes based on the national average daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) for the six months prior to selection, closing under $200 per share on the Expiration Friday prior to expansion, except that the month immediately preceding the addition of options to the Penny Pilot would not be used for the purpose of the six month analysis. Index option products would be included in the quarterly expansions if the underlying index levels were under 200. The Exchange is identifying, in the chart below, seventy-five options classes that it will add to the Penny Pilot on August 2, 2010, based on ADVs for the six months ending June 30, 2010.

options classes to be added to the Penny Pilot effective August 2, 
2010. In the Exchange's filing to adopt rules to govern BATS

Options by trading all options classes that were, as of such date, 
traded by other options exchanges pursuant to the Penny Pilot and then 
expanding the Penny Pilot on a quarterly basis, 75 classes at a time, 
through August 2010. Each such quarterly expansion would be of the 
seventy-five most actively traded multiply listed options classes based 
on the national average daily volume (``ADV'') for the six months prior 
to selection, closing under $200 per share on the Expiration Friday 
prior to expansion, except that the month immediately preceding the 
addition of options to the Penny Pilot would not be used for the 
purpose of the six month analysis. Index option products would be 
included in the quarterly expansions if the underlying index levels 
were under 200.
