allowed on non-exchange venues.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were solicited
or received with respect to the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 10 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.11 Because the
proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of
investors or the public interest; (ii)
impose any significant burden on
competition; and (iii) become operative
for 30 days from the date on which it
was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 12 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)
thereunder.13
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 14 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),15 the
Commission may designate a shorter
time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become operative
immediately.16 In requesting the waiver,
the Exchange stated its belief that
having harmonized requirements for

13 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the
Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time
as designated by the Commission. The Exchange
has satisfied this requirement.

16 The Commission notes that another national
securities exchange has a similar rule for its Retail
Member Organizations and that the proposal does
not raise any novel regulatory issues. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 76207 (October 21, 2015),
80 FR 65824 (October 27, 2015) (SR–BYX–2015–

RMOs across multiple exchanges with a
retail program would promote
competition by enabling member
organizations to operate as RMOs on
multiple exchanges in the same manner.
The Commission notes that, to become
an RMO, a member organization would
still be required under Exchange Rule
107C(b)(2)(C) to submit an attestation to
the Exchange that substantially all
orders submitted as Retail Orders would
qualify as such under Exchange Rule
107C. Rather, the proposal would
change when an RMO must obtain the
annual written representation from
other broker-dealers that send Retail
Orders to the RMO. The Commission
finds that waiving the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest.
Accordingly, the Commission hereby
waives the 30-day operative delay and
designates the proposal operative upon
filing.17
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 shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule from
interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to replace the
name ‘‘Google Inc.’’ with ‘‘Alphabet
Inc.’’ Google Inc. (‘‘Google’’) recently
announced plans to reorganize and
create a new public holding company,
which will be called Alphabet Inc.
(‘‘Alphabet’’). The text of the proposed
rule change is available from the
principal office of the Exchange, at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room
and also on the Exchange’s Internet Web
site at https://boxexchange.com.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and

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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The self-regulatory organization 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
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend IM–
5050–10 to BOX Rule 5050 (Mini
Option Contracts) to replace the name
‘‘Google Inc.’’ with ‘‘Alphabet Inc.’’
Google Inc. (‘‘Google’’) recently
announced plans to reorganize and
create a new public holding company,
which will be called Alphabet Inc.
(‘‘Alphabet’’). As a result of the holding
company reorganization, each share of
Class A Common Stock (‘‘GOOGL’’),
which the Exchange has the ability to
list as a Mini Option, will automatically
convert into an equivalent
corresponding share of Alphabet Inc.
stock.3
3 The Class C Capital Stock (‘‘GOOG’’) which is
also impacted by the reorganization are not eligible
to be listed as Mini Options on the Exchange, only
the Class A Common Stock.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:21 Dec 08, 2015
Jkt 238001
The Exchange is proposing to make
this change to IM–5050–10 to enable the
Exchange to continue trading Mini
Options on Google, now Alphabet Class
A shares. The Exchange is proposing to
make this change because, on October 5,
2015 Google reorganized and as a result
underwent a name change.
The purpose of this change is to
ensure that IM–5050–10 properly
reflects the intention and practice of the
Exchange to have the ability to trade
Mini Options on only an exhaustive list
of underlying securities outlined in IM–
5050–10. This change is meant to
continue the inclusion of Class A shares
of Google in the current list of
underlying securities that Mini Options
can be traded on, while continuing to
make clear that class C shares of Google
are not part of that list as that class of
options has not been approved for Mini
Options trading. As a result, the
proposed change will help avoid
confusion.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the
proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),4 in general, and Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,5 in particular, in that it is
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
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) 6 requirement that the rules of an
exchange not be designed to permit
unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
In particular, the proposed rule
change to change the name Google to
Alphabet to reflect the new ownership
structure is consistent with the Act
because the proposed change is merely
updating the current name associated
with the stock symbol GOOGL to allow
for the continued ability for mini option
trading on Google’s class A shares. The
proposed change will allow for
continued benefit to investors by
providing them with additional
investment alternatives.

The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
proposed change does not impose any
burden on intra-market competition
because it applies to all members and
member organizations uniformly. There
is no burden on inter-market
competition because the Exchange is
merely attempting to continue to permit
trading of GOOGL as a Mini Options, as
is the case today. As a result, there will
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 has 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
does not (i) significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest,
provided that the self-regulatory
organization has given the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change at least five
business days prior to the date of filing
of the proposed rule change or such
shorter time as designated by the
Commission,7 the proposed rule change
has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.9
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 shall institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
should be approved or disapproved.

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend IM-5050-10 to BOX Rule 5050 (Mini
Option Contracts) to replace the name ``Google Inc.'' with ``Alphabet
Inc.'' Google Inc. (``Google'') recently announced plans to reorganize
and create a new public holding company, which will be called Alphabet

The Exchange is proposing to make this change to IM-5050-10 to

clear that class C shares of Google are not part of that list as that
class of options has not been approved for Mini Options trading. As a

2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\4\ in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\5\ in
particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and

The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will

members and member organizations uniformly. There is no burden on
inter-market competition because the Exchange is merely attempting to

today. As a result, there will 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 has 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 does not (i) significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
