Self-Regulatory Organizations;
NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Transfer of Positions Off
the Floor
December 21, 2011.
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. Introduction
On October 20, 2011, NASDAQ OMX
PHLX LLC (‘‘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
codify current Exchange policy with
respect to the transfer of option
positions between accounts,
individuals, or entities off the floor. The
proposed rule change was published in
the Federal Register on November 8,
2011.3 The Commission received no
comments on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
II. Description of Proposal
The Exchange proposes to adopt new
Exchange Rule 1058, Transfer of
Positions. The proposed rule would
govern the process when an Exchange
member or member organization
transfers positions off the floor in any
class of options listed on its books. The
proposed rule would allow transfers in
one or more of the following events: (1)
The dissolution of a joint account in
which the remaining member or
member organization assumes the
positions of the joint account; (2) the
dissolution of a corporation or
partnership in which a former nominee
of that corporation or partnership
assumes the positions; (3) positions
transferred as part of a member or
member organization’s capital
contribution to a new joint account,

partnership, or corporation; (4) the
donation of positions to a not-for-profit
corporation; (5) the transfer of positions
to a minor under the Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act; (6) a merger or acquisition
resulting in a continuity of ownership or
management; or (7) consolidation of
accounts within a member or member
organization.
The proposed rule would further
require members and member
organizations to notify the Exchange in
writing prior to effecting an off the floor
transfer. This written notification must
indicate the positions to be transferred
and the reason for the transfer. Finally,
the proposed rule would require all
positions to be transferred at the same
prices that appear on the books of the
transferring member or member
organization, so that the positions
would retain the same cost basis. The
transfer must indicate the original
trading date, cannot net the transferred
position against another position (for
example, a long position that would net
against an existing offsetting short
position could not be transferred), and
each member or member organization
that is a party to the transfer must make
and retain records related to the nature
of the transaction, the name of the
counter-party, and any other
information required by the Exchange.
III. Commission Findings and
Discussion
After careful review, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of
Section 6 of the Act,4 and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities exchange. In
particular, the Commission finds that
the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,5 which
requires, among other things, that the
rules of the exchange be designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.6
The Exchange’s proposal would
govern when and how an Exchange
member or member organization could
transfer option positions off the floor.
The Commission believes that the
proposal would clarify to an Exchange
member or member organization the
4 15
U.S.C. 78f.
U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
6 In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule’s
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

process required to transfer these
positions, and the specific instances in
which such a transfer is permitted. The
Commission also notes that the
proposed rule is substantially similar to
the rules of other options exchanges.7
Accordingly, the Commission finds that
the proposal would promote just and
equitable principles of trade and remove
impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market,
and is consistent with the requirements
of the Act.8
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,9 that the
proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2011–
118) be, and it hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.10
