OneChicago 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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose OneChicago is proposing to allow block trades and the futures component of EFP trades to be priced in four decimals points. The additional precision will aid in aligning these generally larger sized trades with the appropriate implied interest rate desired by the trade participants. The current two decimal pricing forces block transactions to be split into multiple transactions to arrive at the futures price that achieves the desired financing rate. This change will reduce the need to split block transactions. The change for EFPs will support reflecting the already four decimal point EFP price in the futures prices as opposed to the current practice of forcing it to be reflected in the stock price. Market participants and system providers will need to modify their technologies to accommodate the additional decimals points for block trades and EFPs. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,4 in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, in particular, in that it is designed to foster cooperation and coordination with persons facilitating transactions in securities, and remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and national market system. The proposed rule would foster cooperation with market participants by allowing them to align large-sized trades with their desired interest rate. Moreover, the proposed rule would alleviate the need to split transactions, thereby removing an impediment to and 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00111 Fmt 4703 4 15 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM U.S.C. 78f(b). 12AUN1
