VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:48 Dec 11, 2012 Jkt 229001 On October 2, 2012, The Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Rule 9b–1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 five preliminary copies of a supplement (‘‘November 2012 Supplement’’) to amend the options disclosure document (‘‘ODD’’) to reflect certain changes to disclosure regarding adjustments for cash dividends and distributions in respect of options overlying less than 100 shares to accommodate the trading of mini options.2 On November 14, 2012, the OCC submitted to the Commission definitive copies of the November 2012 Supplement.3 The ODD currently contains general disclosures on the characteristics and risks of trading standardized options. In September 2012, the Commission approved proposed rule changes that permitted the International Securities Exchange, LLC and NYSE Arca, Inc. to list and trade mini options (‘‘Mini Options’’) overlying 10 shares of SPDR S&P 500 ETF, Apple Inc., SPDR Gold Trust, Google Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc.4 Subsequently, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC filed a proposed rule change to list and trade these Mini Options.5 The current proposed November 2012 1 17 CFR 240.9b–1. letter from Jean M.

Specifically, the November 2012 Supplement would make clear that no adjustment will normally be made for any cash dividend or distribution that amounts to less than $0.125 per underlying share. In addition, for contracts originally listed with a unit of trading larger than 100 shares, the November 2012 Supplement will continue to provide that no adjustment normally would be made for any cash dividend or distribution that amounts to less than $12.50 per contract. The proposed supplement is intended to be read in conjunction with the more general ODD, which discusses the characteristics and risks of options generally.7 Rule 9b–1(b)(2)(i) under the Act 8 provides that an options market must file five copies of an amendment or supplement to the ODD with the Commission at least 30 days prior to the date definitive copies are furnished to customers, unless the Commission determines otherwise, having due regard to the adequacy of the information disclosed and the public interest and protection of investors.9 In addition, five copies of the definitive ODD, as amended or supplemented, 6 The Commission recently approved a proposed rule change by the OCC to make similar changes to its By-Laws. See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 67917 (September 24, 2012), 77 FR 59687 (September 28, 2012) (‘‘OCC Notice’’) and 68104 (October 25, 2012), 77 FR 65917 (October 31, 2012) (SR–OCC–2012–16). In its filing, the OCC stated that without the By-Law amendments, some cash dividends or distributions that would exceed the adjustment threshold in the case of standard options would not exceed the adjustment threshold in the case of a Mini Option because the per contract distribution on the Mini Option would be only 1⁄10th of the distribution on the standard option and the adjustment threshold was stated on a per contract basis rather than a per share basis. Therefore, the OCC amended, with Commission approval, the adjustment threshold from $12.50 per contract to $0.125 per share. In its filing, the OCC also stated that it did not intend for the rule change to affect options contracts that were originally listed with units of trading in excess of 100 shares. 7 The Commission notes that the options markets must continue to ensure that the ODD is in compliance with the requirements of Rule 9b– 1(b)(2)(i) under the Act, 17 CFR 240.9b–1(b)(2)(i), including when changes regarding Mini Options are made in the future. Any future changes to the rules of the options markets concerning Mini Options would need to be submitted to the Commission under Section 19(b) of the Act. 15 U.S.C. 78s(b). 8 17 CFR 240.9b–1(b)(2)(i). 9 This provision permits the Commission to shorten or lengthen the period of time which must elapse before definitive copies may be furnished to customers.

    \10\ In Amendment No. 2, the Exchange proposed to amend its 
proposed rule text to: (i) Add provisions requiring it to disclose 
on its Web site: (a) The dates that MQP Securities commence 
participation in and withdraw or are terminated from the MQP, (b) a 
statement about the MQP that sets forth a general description of the 
MQP as implemented on a pilot basis and a fair and balanced 
summation of the potentially positive aspects of the MQP (e.g., 
enhancement of liquidity and market quality in MQP Securities) as 
well as the potentially negative aspects and risks of the MQP (e.g., 
possible lack of liquidity and negative price impact on MQP 
Securities that withdraw or are terminated from the MQP), and 
indicates how interested parties can get additional information 
about products in the MQP, and (c) when it receives notification 
that an MQP Company or MQP Market Maker intends to withdraw from the 
MQP, and the date of actual withdrawal or termination from the MQP; 
(ii) add a requirement that during such time that an MQP Company 
lists an MQP Security, the MQP Company must, on a product-specific 
Web site for each product, indicate that the product is in the MQP 
and provide the link to the Exchange's MQP Web page; (iii) add a 
provision clarifying that the MQP Fee in respect of an ETF shall be 
paid by the sponsor(s) of such ETF, and the MQP Fee in respect of a 
TIR shall be paid by the sponsor(s) of such TIR, as applicable; (iv) 
amend the termination provision to provide that the MQP will 
terminate in respect of an MQP Security if such MQP Security 
sustains an average daily trading volume (consolidated trades in all 
U.S. markets) (``ATV'') of 1.0 million shares or more for three 
consecutive months (the previously proposed termination threshold 
was average daily trading volume of 2.0 million shares or more 
traded on NASDAQ for three consecutive months); and (v) amend the 
definition of ``MQP Company'' to clarify that such term means a fund 
sponsor or issuer, as applicable, that lists an MQP Security on the 
Exchange pursuant to the MQP (the previously proposed definition 
defined an ``MQP Company'' as a fund sponsor or ``other entity'' 
that lists an MQP Security on the Exchange pursuant to the MQP).
     In Amendment No. 2, the Exchange further proposed to amend the 
filing to state that while the Exchange originally proposed a 
termination threshold of 2.0 million shares or more ATV for three 
consecutive months, it is scaling back the threshold to better 
provide an opportunity to observe the impact, if any, on MQP 
Securities that exceed the threshold and ``graduate'' from the MQP. 
The Exchange notes that it has compiled statistics indicating that 
``graduation'' from the MQP may occur more frequently at a 1.0 
million ATV threshold than at a 2.0 million ATV threshold, and 
includes a chart showing from years 2001 to 2012 the number of ETFs 
that would have graduated from the MQP under the 2.0 million and 1.0 
million ATV thresholds. Finally, in Amendment No. 2, the Exchange 
proposed to amend the filing to make the following additional 
representations: (i) the Exchange represents that it will post on 
its Web site the monthly reports that it provides to the Commission 
relating to the MQP during the pilot period; (ii) the Exchange 
represents that it will endeavor to provide similar data to the 
Commission about comparable products that are listed on the Exchange 
that are not in the MQP and any other MQP-related data and analysis 
requested by Commission staff for the purpose of evaluating the 
efficacy of the MQP; and (iii) the Exchange represents that it will 
issue to its members an information bulletin about the MQP prior to 
operation of the MQP.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\
