I. Introduction On February 4, 2013, Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’ 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 amend CBOE’s rules relating to MarketMaker 3 continuous quoting obligations. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 22, 2013.4 The Commission did not receive any 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 CBOE Rule 8.1 defines ‘‘Market-Maker’’ as ‘‘an individual Trading Permit Holder [(‘‘TPH’’)] or a TPH organization that is registered with the Exchange for the purpose of making transactions as dealer-specialist on the Exchange.’’ 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68944 (February 15, 2013), 78 FR 12377 (‘‘Notice’’). 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21981 comment letters regarding the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change. II. Description of the Proposal The Exchange proposes to amend its rules to exclude intra-day add-on series (‘‘Intra-day Adds’’) from Market-Makers’ continuous quoting obligations on the day during which such series are added for trading.5 In addition, the Exchange proposes to permit Preferred MarketMakers (‘‘PMMs’’),6 Lead MarketMakers (‘‘LMMs’’),7 DPMs,8 and Electronic DPMs (‘‘e–DPMs’’) 9 (MarketMakers, PMMs, LMMs, DPMs, and e– DPMs are collectively referred to as ‘‘Market-Makers’’ unless the context provides otherwise) to receive participation entitlements in all Intraday Adds on the day during which such series are added for trading provided that the Market-Maker meets all other requirements to receive a participation entitlement set forth in the applicable rules.10 III. Discussion and Commission’s Findings After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.11 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,12 which requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of 5 See id. at 12377. According to the Exchange, Intra-day Adds are series that are added to the Exchange system after the opening of the Exchange, rather than prior to the beginning of trading. See id. 6 CBOE Rule 8.13 defines ‘‘Preferred Market Maker’’ as a Market-Maker designated by a TPH to receive that TPH’s orders in a specific class. 7 CBOE Rule 8.15A defines ‘‘Lead Market-Maker’’ as a Market-Maker in good standing appointed by the Exchange in an option class for which a Designated Primary Market-Maker (‘‘DPM’’) has not been appointed. 8 CBOE Rule 8.80 defines ‘‘Designated Primary Market-Maker’’ as a ‘‘TPH organization that is approved by the Exchange to function in allocated securities as a Market-Maker (as defined in Rule 8.1) and is subject to the obligations under Rule 8.85.’’ 9 CBOE Rule 8.92 defines ‘‘Electronic DPM’’ as ‘‘a TPH organization that is approved by the Exchange to remotely function in allocated option classes as a DPM and to fulfill certain obligations required of DPMs except for Floor Broker and Order Book Official obligations.’’ 10 See Notice, supra note 4, 78 FR at 12377. 11 In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation.
