In general, Asian style settlement provides for payout based on the average of prices of a broad-based index on predetermined dates over a specified time period, and Cliquet style settlement provides for a payout that is the greater of $0 or the (positive) sum of ‘‘capped’’ monthly returns of a broad-based index on pre-determined dates over a specified period of time. These settlement types are also referred to as ‘‘Exotics’’ due to their untraditional nature. After surveying potential FLEX BroadBased Index Options users, the Exchange learned that indexed annuity writers (insurance companies) extensively use over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) options with Asian and Cliquet style settlement as a crediting method.5 Because of the level of customization that FLEX Broad-Based Index options provide, the Exchange is introducing exchange-traded products that would provide potential market users with an alternative to the OTC market in customized options. The new settlement types were approved pursuant to a CBOE rule filing on July 10, 2015.6 Proposed Change The Exchange proposes an Exotic Surcharge of $0.25 to be assessed on all customer (‘‘C’’ origin code) Exotic contracts executed on CBOE.7 The Exotic surcharge will be assessed to those FLEX Traders who trade customer orders in FLEX Asian and Cliquet options. The Exchange also proposes a FLEX Asian and Cliquet FLEX Trader Incentive Program (‘‘Program’’). The Program will provide monthly payments to FLEX Traders who trade orders with origin codes other than ‘‘C’’ against customer orders in FLEX Asian and Cliquet options. A compensation pool 4 Id.
