B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule changes will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. Customers have traditionally been paid the highest rebates offered by options exchanges. While the Exchange’s proposal results in a Professional receiving a higher rebate as compared to a NOM Market Maker, in certain circumstances, the Exchange does not believe the proposed rebate tiers would result in any burden on competition as between market participants. The Exchange’s proposal also aligns the Non-NOM Market Maker Penny Pilot Rebate to Add Liquidity with that of a Firm and Broker-Dealer. The Exchange’s proposal to increase Non-Penny Pilot Options Fees for Adding and Removing Liquidity does not misalign the current fees as NOM Market Makers will continue to be assessed lower fees as compared to a Non-NOM Market Maker, Firm or Broker-Dealer because of the additional obligations that are required of NOM Market Makers as compared to these market participants. Customers continue to pay a lower Fee for Removing Liquidity in Non-Penny Pilot Options, which is currently the case for most fees on NOM which are either not assessed to a Customer or where a Customer is assessed the lowest fee because of the liquidity such order flow brings to the Exchange. The Exchange believes that offering Customers and Professionals the proposed tiered rebates creates competition among options exchanges because the Exchange believes that the rebates may cause market participants to select NOM as a venue to send Customer and Professional order flow. The Exchange believes that incentivizing NOM Market Makers to post liquidity on NOM benefits market participants through increased order interaction. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market comprised of eleven U.S. options exchanges in which sophisticated and knowledgeable market participants can readily send order flow to competing exchanges if they deem fee levels at a particular exchange to be excessive. The Exchange believes that the proposed rebate structure and tiers are competitive with rebates and tiers in place on other exchanges. The Exchange believes that this competitive marketplace impacts C.

The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend its transaction fees for simple, noncomplex orders in equity options classes to state that C2 Market-Makers will not be assessed a fee for Maker trades with any non-Public Customer market participants. This means that when a C2 Market-Maker is the Maker in a transaction, the C2 Market-Maker will not be assessed a fee unless the Taker in the transaction is a Public Customer. The purpose of the proposed change is to incentivize C2 Market-Makers to quote more aggressively. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.3 Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,4 which requires that Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that proposed change is reasonable because it will allow C2 Market-Makers to avoid paying a transaction fee for transactions 3 15 4 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). U.S.C. 78f(b)(4). VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:00 Mar 18, 2013 Jkt 229001 for which they previously paid a transaction fee. The Exchange believes that providing this Maker fee exemption to C2 MarketMakers and not to other market participants is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because C2 Market-Makers take on a number of obligations, including quoting obligations and the need to purchase permits, that some other market participants do not have. Further, offering a fee exemption for C2 MarketMakers (and only C2 Market-Maker Makers), who are the market participants that do the vast majority of quoting, incentivizes more and narrower quoting, thereby encouraging liquidity provision, which is vital to the marketplace and benefits all market participants. The Exchange believes that assessing Maker fees for C2 MarketMakers who trade with Public Customers while not assessing Maker fees for C2 Market-Makers who trade with other market participants is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the Exchange already pays a rebate for Public Customer Taker transactions, and thus if the Exchange were to also not collect a fee from the C2 Market-Maker in such transactions, it would result in the Exchange paying for such transactions without collecting any revenue (a net negative), which would not be economically prudent. Further, market participants (including C2 MarketMakers) generally prefer to execute their orders against Public Customer orders, and therefore it is justifiable for them to be still be assessed a fee for such preferable executions. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose an unnecessary burden on intramarket competition because, while it will provide C2 Market-Makers with a fee exemption that other market participants do not receive, this change is intended to incentivize C2 Market-Makers, who are the market participants that do the vast majority of quoting, to provide more and narrower quoting, thereby encouraging liquidity provision, which is vital to the marketplace and benefits all market participants.

PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose an unnecessary burden on intermarket competition because it is designed to encourage more and narrower quoting, which would make C2 a more attractive trading venue for Market-Makers as well as other market participants on other exchanges who could benefit from C2’s improved quotes. As such, to the extent that the proposed change may make C2 a more attractive trading venue for market participants on other exchanges, such market participants can always elect to become C2 market participants. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change.

Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b–4 6 thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. The Exchange is proposing to list and trade option contracts overlying 10 shares of a security (‘‘mini-options contracts’’) and implement rule text necessary to integrate mini-options contracts with contracts overlying 100 shares (‘‘standard contracts’’) of the same security. Whereas standard contracts represent a deliverable of 100 shares of an underlying security, minioptions contracts would represent a deliverable of 10 shares. The Exchange proposes to initially list and trade minioptions contracts overlying five high priced securities for which the standard contract overlying the same security exhibits significant liquidity.3 The Exchange believes that investors would benefit from the availability of minioptions contracts by making options overlying high priced securities more readily available as an investing tool and at more affordable and realistic prices, most notably for the average retail investor. For example, with Apple Inc. (‘‘AAPL’’) trading at $605.85 on March 21, 2012, ($60,585 for 100 shares underlying a standard contract), the 605 level call expiring on March 23 was trading at $7.65. The cost of the standard contract overlying 100 shares would be $765, which is [sic] substantially higher in notional terms than the average equity option price of $250.89.4 Proportionately equivalent mini-options contracts on AAPL would provide investors with the ability to manage and hedge their portfolio risk on their underlying investment, at a price of $76.50 per contract. In addition, investors who hold a position in AAPL at less than the round lot size would still be able to avail themselves of options to manage their portfolio risk. For example, the holder of 50 shares of AAPL could write covered calls for five mini-options contracts. The table below demonstrates the proposed differences between a mini-options contract and a standard contract with a strike price of $125 per share and a bid or offer of $3.20 per share: issues were selected because they are priced greater than $100 and are among the most actively traded issues, in that the standard contract exhibits average daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) over the previous three calendar months of at least 45,000 contracts, excluding LEAPS and FLEX series. The Exchange notes that any expansion of the program would require that a subsequent proposed rule change be submitted with the Commission.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fees Schedule. The text of the 
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (https://www.c2exchange.com/Legal/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, 
and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. The Exchange 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 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its transaction fees for simple, 
non-complex orders in equity options classes to state that C2 Market-
Makers will not be assessed a fee for Maker trades with any non-Public 
Customer market participants. This means that when a C2 Market-Maker is 
the Maker in a transaction, the C2 Market-Maker will not be assessed a 
fee unless the Taker in the transaction is a Public Customer. The 
purpose of the proposed change is to incentivize C2 Market-Makers to 
quote more aggressively.
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the 
Exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section 6(b) of the 
Act.\3\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is 
consistent with Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\4\ which requires that 
Exchange rules provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, 
fees, and other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other 
persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that proposed 
change is reasonable because it will allow C2 Market-Makers to avoid 
paying a transaction fee for transactions for which they previously 
paid a transaction fee.

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that providing this Maker fee exemption to C2 
Market-Makers and not to other market participants is equitable and not 
unfairly discriminatory because C2 Market-Makers take on a number of 
obligations, including quoting obligations and the need to purchase 
permits, that some other market participants do not have. Further, 
offering a fee exemption for C2 Market-Makers (and only C2 Market-Maker 
Makers), who are the market participants that do the vast majority of 
quoting, incentivizes more and narrower quoting, thereby encouraging 
liquidity provision, which is vital to the marketplace and benefits all 
market participants. The Exchange believes that assessing Maker fees 
for C2 Market-Makers who trade with Public Customers while not 
assessing Maker fees for C2 Market-Makers who trade with other market 
participants is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because the 
Exchange already pays a rebate for Public Customer Taker transactions, 
and thus if the Exchange were to also not collect a fee from the C2 
Market-Maker in such transactions, it would result in the Exchange 
paying for such transactions without collecting any revenue (a net 
negative), which would not be economically prudent. Further, market 
participants (including C2 Market-Makers) generally prefer to execute 
their orders against Public Customer orders, and therefore it is 
justifiable for them to be still be assessed a fee for such preferable 
executions.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    C2 does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any 
burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not believe 
that the proposed rule change will impose an unnecessary burden on 
intramarket competition because, while it will provide C2 Market-Makers 
with a fee exemption that other market participants do not receive, 
this change is intended to incentivize C2 Market-Makers, who are the 
market participants that do the vast majority of quoting, to provide 
more and narrower quoting, thereby encouraging liquidity provision, 
which is vital to the marketplace and benefits all market participants. 
Further, C2 Market-Makers take on a number of obligations, including 
quoting obligations and the need to purchase permits, that some other 
market participants do not have. The Exchange does not believe that the 
proposed rule change will impose an unnecessary burden on intermarket 
competition because it is designed to encourage more and narrower 
quoting, which would make C2 a more attractive trading venue for 
Market-Makers as well as other market participants on other exchanges 
who could benefit from C2's improved quotes. As such, to the extent 
that the proposed change may make C2 a more attractive trading venue 
for market participants on other exchanges, such market participants 
can always elect to become C2 market participants.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed 
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the 
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \5\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \6\ 
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed 
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule 
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or 
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or 
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission 
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or 
disapproved.
