Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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 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 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to codify functionality currently offered to members—i.e., QCC with Stock Orders. The QCC with Stock Order is a piece of functionality that facilitates the execution of stock component of qualified contingent trades. In particular, a QCC with Stock Order is a QCC Order entered with a stock component to be communicated to a designated broker-dealer for execution.3 QCC with Stock Orders assist members in maintaining compliance with Exchange rules regarding the execution of the stock component of qualified contingent trades, and help maintain an audit trail for surveillance of members for compliance with such rules. Currently, although the Exchange has rules on QCC Orders, those rules do not specify how the stock component of such transactions is to be executed. In particular, those rules do not describe how this process may be facilitated by the Exchange electronically communicating the stock component to a designated broker-dealer for execution on the behalf of the member. The proposed rule change will increase the transparency of this process to the benefit of members and other market participants that execute QCC Orders on the Exchange, including those that use the QCC with Stock Order functionality described in this filing. A QCC Order is comprised of an originating order to buy or sell at least 1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a qualified contingent trade,4 3 See Proposed Rule 715(t). Rule 715(j). A ‘‘qualified contingent trade’’ is a transaction consisting of two or more component orders, executed as agent or principal, where: (a) At least one component is an NMS Stock, as defined in Rule 600 of Regulation NMS under the 4 See E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1
