2. Statutory Basis
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.5 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) 6 requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged
in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities, 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.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 7 requirement that
the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
In particular, the current filing
proposes to change the name ‘‘Google,
Inc.’’ to ‘‘Alphabet, Inc.’’ in order to
reflect the new ownership structure and
is consistent with the Act because Rule
5.5.22 will now accurately reflect the
name of this class that is eligible for
Mini-options trading.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's
Statement on Burden on Competition
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
CBOE 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
proposed change does not impose any
burden on intramarket competition
because it applies to all Trading Permit
Holders. There is no burden on
intermarket competition as the proposed
change would update Rule 5.5.22 to
reflect the new name for a class that is
eligible for Mini-options trading. As a
result, there would be no substantive
changes to the Exchange’s operations or
its rules.
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
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not:
A. Significantly affect the protection
of investors or the public interest;
B. impose any significant burden on

Act 8 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 9 thereunder.
At any time within 60 days of the filing

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.
