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 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 1 15 I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change NASDAQ proposes to amend Chapter VII, Section 6, entitled ‘‘Market Maker Quotations,’’ of the rules governing the NASDAQ Options Market (‘‘NOM’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’). The Exchange proposes to adopt two new NOM Market Maker 3 optional risk protections, a volumebased threshold and a multi-trigger threshold.4 The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at https:// www.nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. 1. Purpose The purpose of the filing is to adopt two new risk protections for NOM Market Maker’s to monitor marketplace risk. These protections are intended to assist NOM Market Makers to control their trading risks.5 Quoting across many series in an option creates the possibility of ‘‘rapid fire’’ executions 3 The term ‘‘NOM Market Maker’’ means a Participant that has registered as a Market Maker on NOM pursuant to Chapter VII, Section 2, and must also remain in good standing pursuant to Chapter VII, Section 4. 4 Market Makers will be required to continue to utilize the Risk Monitor Mechanism in Chapter VI, Section 19, as is the case today. 5 Pursuant to NOM Rules at Chapter VII, Section 5, entitled ‘‘Obligations of Market Makers’’, in registering as a market maker, an Options Participant commits himself to various obligations. Transactions of a NOM Market Maker must constitute a course of dealings reasonably calculated to contribute to the maintenance of a fair and orderly market, and Market Makers should not make bids or offers or enter into transactions that are inconsistent with such course of dealings. Further, all Market Makers are designated as specialists on NOM for all purposes under the Act or rules thereunder. See Chapter VII, Section 2. PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that can create large, unintended principal positions that expose NOM Market Makers, who are required to continuously quote in assigned options, to potentially significant market risk. Today, the Exchange’s rules permit NOM Market Makers to monitor risk arising from multiple executions across multiple options series of a single underlying security.6 The Exchange is proposing to offer a new volume-based and multi-trigger threshold protection to NOM Market Makers. The Exchange proposes to amend NOM’s Rules at Chapter VII, Section 6(f) to establish: (1) A threshold used to calculate each NOM Market Maker’s total volume executed in all series of a given underlying security within a specified time period and compares that to a pre-determined threshold (‘‘Volume-Based Threshold’’), and (2) a threshold which measures the number of times the System has triggered 7 based on the Risk Monitor Mechanism (‘‘Percentage-Based Threshold’’) pursuant to Chapter VI, Section 19 and Volume-Based Thresholds within a specified time period and compares that total to a predetermined threshold (‘‘Multi-Trigger Threshold’’). Volume-Based Threshold In connection with offering these two new threshold protections, a NOM Market Maker would provide a specified time period and volume threshold by which the Exchange’s System would automatically remove the NOM Market Maker’s quotes and orders in an options class, depending on the threshold utilized, submitted through designated NOM protocols, as specified by the Exchange. The Exchange counts Specialized Quote Feed (‘‘SQF’’) 8 quotes and OTTO 9 orders only in determining the number of contracts traded and removed by the System.10 The Volume-Based Threshold will determine, during a specified time period established by the NOM Market 6 See NOM Chapter VI, Section 19, ‘‘Risk Monitor Mechanism.’’ 7 A trigger is defined as the event which causes the System to automatically remove all quotes and orders in all options series in an underlying issue. 8 SQF permits the receipt of quotes. SQF Auction Responses and market sweeps are also not included. 9 OTTO immediate or cancel orders will not be included. OTTO provides a method for subscribers to send orders and receive status updates on those orders. OTTO accepts limit orders from System subscribers, and if there is a matching order, the orders will execute. Non-matching orders are added to the limit order book, a database of available limit orders, where they are matched. 10 Financial Information Exchange (‘‘FIX’’) Orders are not counted in determining the number of contracts traded and removed by the System.
