The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The purpose of this filing is to modify Rule 925.1NY regarding Market Maker Quotations. Rule 925.1NY(a) provides that a Market Maker may enter quotes in the option issues included in its appointment. The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 925.1NY(a) to define Market Maker quotes, add a new quote type, and specify how such quotes would be processed when a series is open for trading. Defining Market Maker Quotes and Adopting Market Maker Light Only Quotes First, the Exchange proposes to define Market Maker quotes to provide that ‘‘[t]he term ‘quote’ or ‘quotation’ means a bid or offer entered by a Market Maker that updates the Market Maker’s previous bid or offer, if any.’’ 4 This proposed definition, which would add clarity, transparency, and internal consistency to Exchange rules, is identical or substantially identical to the way quotes are defined on at least two other options exchanges.5 Consistent with this change, the Exchange also proposes to modify the current definition of ‘‘Quote with Size’’ to include a cross reference to the proposed definition of quotation, which would add clarity and transparency to Exchange rules.6 4 See proposed Rule 925.1NY(a)(1). e.g., International Securities Exchange Rule 100(42). See also BOX Options Exchange LLC Rule 100(a)(55) (providing that ‘‘[t]he term ‘‘quote’’ or ‘‘quotation’’ means a bid or offer entered by a Market Maker as a firm order that updates the Market Maker’s previous bid or offer, if any’’). 6 See proposed Rule 900.2NY(65) (providing that ‘‘the term ‘Quote with Size’ means a quotation (as defined in Rule 925.1NY (a)(1)) to buy or sell a specific number of option contracts at a specific price that a Market Maker has submitted to the System through an electronic interface’’). 5 See, E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM 27FEN1
