Dated: March 29, 2011. Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary. Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, Relating to Bylaw and Related Rule Changes The Exchange proposes to amend its Bylaws to eliminate the office of the Vice Chairman.5 The primary function of the Vice Chairman’s office was to facilitate communication between the Exchange and its Trading Permit Holders and to coordinate the activities of Trading Permit Holder committees.6 The Exchange believes that C2 management is able to perform these functions and has represented that it will continue to obtain input from Trading Permit Holders through other channels, including direct communication with individual Trading Permit Holders, committees established by the Exchange, and through the proposed Advisory Board (discussed below).7 March 25, 2011. B. Provision for an Advisory Board I. Introduction On January 27, 2011, C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘C2’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 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 proposed rule change to modify its governance structure. On February 9, 2011, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.3 The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 10, 2011.4 The Commission received no comment letters regarding the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule The Exchange proposes to adopt Section 6.1 of the Bylaws that would allow the Board of Directors to establish an Advisory Board which would advise the Office of the Chairman regarding matters of interest to Trading Permit Holders. According to the Exchange, this would be beneficial because it would provide another vehicle by which the Exchange management could receive advice and feedback from Trading Permit Holders.8 Under the proposal, the Board of Directors would determine the number of members of the Advisory Board, the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee would serve as the Chairman of an Advisory Board, and the C2 Nominating and Governance Committee would recommend the members of any Advisory Board for approval by the Board of Directors. The Advisory Board would be completely advisory in nature and would not be vested with any Exchange decision-making authority or other [FR Doc. 2011–7731 Filed 3–29–11; 4:15 pm] BILLING CODE 8011–01–P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34–64128; File No. SR–C2– 2011–003] 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 At the time C2 submitted the original proposed rule change, it had not yet obtained formal approval from its Board of Directors for the specific Bylaw and rule changes set forth in this proposed rule change. C2 stated that once that approval was obtained, the Exchange would file a technical amendment to its proposed rule change to reflect that approval. In Amendment No. 1, the Exchange notes that the C2 Board of Directors approved the specific Bylaw and rule changes set forth in SR–C2– 2011–003 on February 8, 2011 and stated that no further action was necessary in connection with its proposal. Amendment No. 1 is technical in nature, and the Commission is not publishing Amendment No. 1 for public comment. 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63845 (February 4, 2011), 76 FR 7598 (‘‘Notice’’). wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES 2 17 VerDate Mar<15>2010 11:23 Mar 31, 2011 Jkt 223001 II. Description of the Proposal The Exchange proposes to: (1) Eliminate its office of the Vice Chairman of the Board (‘‘Vice Chairman’’); (2) provide that the Board of Directors may establish an Advisory Board; and (3) eliminate the C2 Audit Committee. A. Elimination of the Office of the Vice Chairman of the Board 5 The specific proposed Bylaw and rule changes relating to the elimination of the Office of the Vice Chairman are discussed in detail in the Notice. See Notice, supra note 4, 76 FR at 7598–7599. 6 Currently, the Vice Chairman is an office held by one of the Exchange’s Industry Directors.

Pursuant to proposed Section 6.1 of the Bylaws, the Board of Directors would have the discretion as to whether (or not) to put an Advisory Board in place. C2 has represented that the Board of Directors intends to establish an Advisory Board.9 C. Elimination of Exchange Audit Committee C2 proposes to amend its Bylaws to eliminate its Audit Committee because its functions are duplicative of the functions performed by the Audit Committee of its parent company, CBOE Holdings, Inc. (‘‘CBOE Holdings’’). The CBOE Holdings Audit Committee has broad authority to assist the CBOE Holdings Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to, among other things: (1) The qualifications, engagement, and oversight of CBOE Holdings’ independent auditor; (2) CBOE Holdings’ financial statements and disclosure matters; (3) CBOE Holdings’ internal audit function and internal controls; and (4) CBOE Holdings’ oversight and risk management, including compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. CBOE Holdings’ financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis that includes the financial results of CBOE Holdings’ subsidiaries, including C2. Therefore, according to the Exchange, the CBOE Holdings Audit Committee’s purview necessarily includes C2 and the responsibilities of the C2 Audit Committee are fully duplicated by the responsibilities of the CBOE Holdings Audit Committee.10 Consequently, C2 proposes that the responsibilities of its audit committee be performed by the CBOE Holdings Audit Committee. Although the CBOE Holdings Audit Committee would continue to have overall responsibility with respect to the internal audit function, the C2 Board of Directors would maintain its own independent oversight over the internal audit function with respect to C2 regulatory functions through the C2 Regulatory Oversight Committee. Specifically, upon elimination of the C2 Audit Committee, the Regulatory Oversight Committee would have the authority to review the internal audit plan relating to C2’s regulatory 9 See Notice, supra note 4, 76 FR at 7599. Notice, supra note 4, 76 FR at 7599 (noting that the C2 Audit Committee has a more limited role focusing on: (1) C2’s financial statements and disclosure matters, and (2) C2’s oversight and risk management, including compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in each case, only to the extent required in connection with C2’s discharge of its obligations as a self-regulatory organization). 10 See E:\FR\FM\31MR1.SGM 31MR1
