(‘‘BYX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange has designated this proposal as a ‘‘non-controversial’’ proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder,4 which renders it effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange filed a proposal to amend paragraph (c)(5) of Exchange Rule 11.9 describing the operation of Minimum Quantity Orders.5 The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange’s website at www.markets.cboe.com, at the principal 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 5 See Exchange Rule 11.9(c)(5) for a complete description of the operation of Minimum Quantity Orders. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:09 Mar 28, 2018 Jkt 244001 office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. 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 parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange proposes to amend paragraph (c)(5) of Exchange Rule 11.9 describing the operation of Minimum Quantity Orders by removing language that provided for the re-pricing of incoming Minimum Quantity Orders to avoid an internally crossed book. As a result of this change, the Exchange proposes to specify within the rule when a Minimum Quantity Order would not be eligible to trade to prevent executions from occurring that may be inconsistent with intra-market price priority or that would cause a nondisplayed order to trade ahead of a displayed order. In sum, a Minimum Quantity Order is a non-displayed order that enables a User 6 to specify a minimum share amount at which the order will execute.7 A Minimum Quantity Order will not execute unless the volume of contra-side liquidity available to execute against the order meets or exceeds the designated minimum size. By default, a Minimum Quantity Order will execute upon entry against a single order or multiple aggregated orders simultaneously. The Exchange recently amended the operation of Minimum Quantity Orders to permit a User to alternatively specify the order not execute against multiple aggregated orders simultaneously and that the minimum quantity condition be 6 The term ‘‘User’’ is defined as ‘‘any Member or Sponsored Participant who is authorized to obtain access to the System pursuant to Rule 11.3.’’ See Exchange Rule 1.5(cc). 7 The Exchange will only honor a specified minimum quantity on BYX Only Orders that are non-displayed or Immediate-Or-Cancel and will disregard a minimum quantity on any other order. See Exchange Rule 11.9(c)(5). PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 satisfied by each individual order resting on the BYX Book.8 The Exchange also recently amended the operation of Minimum Quantity Orders to re-price incoming Minimum Quantity Orders where that order may cross an order posted on the BYX Book.9 Specifically, where there is insufficient size to satisfy an incoming order’s minimum quantity condition and that incoming order, if posted at its limit price, would cross an order(s), whether displayed or non-displayed, resting on the BYX Book, the order with the minimum quantity condition would be re-priced to and ranked at the locking price. This functionality has not yet been implemented 10 and the Exchange now proposes to amend paragraph (c)(5) of Rule 11.9 to remove this re-pricing requirement. As a result of the above change, the Exchange proposes to amend paragraph (c)(5) of Rule 11.9 to describe when a Minimum Quantity Order will not be eligible to trade to prevent executions from occurring that may be inconsistent with intra-market price priority or would result in a non-displayed order trading ahead of a same-priced, sameside displayed order.11 The Exchange would not permit a Minimum Quantity Order that crosses other displayed or non-displayed orders on the BYX Book to trade at prices that are worse than the price of such contra-side orders. The Exchange would also not permit a resting Minimum Quantity Order to trade at a price equal to a contra-side displayed order. This proposal is based on recently adopted NYSE Arca, Inc. (‘‘NYSE Arca’’) Rule 7.31–E(i)(3)(C).12 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81806 (October 3, 2017), 82 FR 47047 (October 10, 2017) (SR–BatsBYX–2017–24). This functionality is pending deployment and the implementation date will be announced via a trading notice. 9 Id. 10 See supra note 8. Exchange Rule 11.9(c)(5) does not require re-pricing where the Minimum Quantity Order is resting on the BYX Book. As such, an internally crossed book may occur where the incoming order is of insufficient size to satisfy the resting order’s minimum quantity condition and that incoming order, if posted at its limit price, would cross that order with a minimum quantity condition resting on the BYX Book. 11 Exchange Rule 11.12(a) states that orders on the BYX Book are ranked and maintained by the Exchange according to price-time priority. Exchange Rule 11.12(a) further prohibits a nondisplayed order from trading ahead of a same-side, same-priced displayed order. This proposed rule change adds language to Exchange Rule 11.9(c)(5) to clarify this priority scheme during an internally crossed market. 12 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82504 (January 16, 2018), 83 FR 3038 (January 22, 2018) (SR–NYSEArca–2018–01) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Rule 7.31–E Relating to Mid-Point Liquidity Orders and the Minimum Trade Size Modifier and Rule 7.36–E To Add a Definition of ‘‘Aggressing Order’’).
