Purpose The Exchange proposes to make a number of changes to its Fees Schedule.3 VIX License Index Surcharge Waiver The Exchange proposes to extend the current waiver of the VIX Index License Surcharge of $0.10 per contract for Clearing Trading Permit Holder Proprietary (‘‘Firm’’) (origin codes ‘‘F’’ or ‘‘L’’) VIX orders that have a premium of $0.10 or lower and have series with an expiration of seven (7) calendar days or less. The Exchange adopted the current waiver to reduce transaction costs on expiring, low-priced VIX options, which the Exchange believed would encourage Firms to seek to close and/or roll over such positions close to expiration at low premium levels, including facilitating customers to do so, in order to free up capital and encourage additional trading. The Exchange had proposed to waive the surcharge through June 30, 2017. The Exchange proposes to extend the waiver of the surcharge through December 31, 2017, at which time the Exchange will reevaluate whether the waiver has continued to prompt Firms to close and roll over positions close to expiration at low premium levels. Extended Trading Hour Fees Waiver In order to promote and encourage trading during the Extended Trading Hours (‘‘ETH’’) session, the Exchange currently waives ETH Trading Permit and Bandwidth Packet fees for one (1) of each initial Trading Permits and one (1) of each initial Bandwidth Packet, per affiliated TPH. The Exchange notes that waiver is set to expire June 30, 2017. The Exchange also waives fees through June 30, 2017 for a CMI and FIX login ID if the CMI and/or FIX login ID is related to a waived ETH Trading Permit and/or waived Bandwidth packet. In order to continue to promote trading during ETH, the Exchange wishes to extend these waivers through December 31, 2017.
