Self-Regulatory Organizations: Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness
of a Proposed Rule Change by Miami
PEARL, LLC To Amend Exchange Rule
510, Minimum Price Variations and
Minimum Trading Increments
jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
March 29, 2019.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that
on March 22, 2019, Miami PEARL, LLC
(‘‘MIAX PEARL’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a
proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have
been prepared by the Exchange. 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 is filing a proposal to
amend Rule 510, Minimum Price
Variations and Minimum Trading
Increments, to specify that replacement
classes may be added to the Penny Pilot
Program on a quarterly basis, without
altering the expiration date of the Penny
Pilot Program, which is June 30, 2019.3
The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange’s website at
https://www.miaxoptions.com/rulefilings/pearl at MIAX PEARL’s principal
office, 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 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 Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 510, Minimum Price Variations
and Minimum Trading Increments,
Interpretations and Policies .01,
regarding the Penny Pilot Program, to
specify that replacement classes may be
added to the Penny Pilot Program on a
quarterly basis, without altering the
expiration date of the Penny Pilot
Program, which is June 30, 2019.
The Exchange recently filed to extend
the Penny Pilot Program until June 30,
2019 (from December 31, 2018) and also
updated the rule text to provide that
replacement issues may be added to the
Pilot on the second trading day
following January 1, 2019.4
The proposed rule authorizes the
Exchange to replace any option classes
in the Penny Pilot Program that have
been delisted with the next most
actively traded multiply listed options
3 See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84865
(December 19, 2018), 83 FR 66813 (December 27,
2018) (SR–PEARL–2018–26).

classes that are not yet included in the
Penny Pilot Program, based on trading
activity in the previous six months.5
The Exchange now proposes to modify
Rule 510, Minimum Price Variations
and Minimum Trading Increments,
Interpretations and Policies .01, to allow
the Exchange to add replacement classes
(for Penny Pilot Program classes that
have been delisted) on a quarterly basis.
The Exchange added replacement
classes in January 2019 and would add
eligible replacement classes in April,
July, and October. The Exchange
believes this change would allow the
Exchange to update option classes
eligible for the Penny Pilot Program (by
replacing delisted classes) on a quarterly
basis (as opposed to semi-annual) and
would enable further analysis of the
Penny Pilot Program and a
determination of how the Penny Pilot
Program should be structured in the
future.
As is the case today, the Exchange
will determine replacement classes
based on trading activity in the previous
six months (the ‘‘six month lookback’’)
but will not use the month immediately
preceding the addition of a replacement
to the Penny Pilot Program. Thus, a
replacement class to be added on the
second trading day following April 1,
2019 would be identified based on The
Option Clearing Corporation’s trading
volume data from September 1, 2018
through February 28, 2019.6 The
Exchange believes the six month
lookback is appropriate because this
time period would help reduce the
impact of unusual trading activity as a
result of unique market events, such as
a corporate action (i.e., it would result
in a more reliable measure of average
daily trading volume than would a
shorter period).
This filing does not propose any
substantive changes to the Penny Pilot
Program: All classes currently
participating will remain the same and
all minimum increments will remain
unchanged. The Exchange believes the
benefits to public customers and other
market participants who will be able to
express their true prices to buy and sell
options have been demonstrated to
outweigh the increase in quote traffic. In
addition, the proposed change would
align the Exchange’s rules to the rules
of competing options exchanges that
5 See Exchange Rule 510, Interpretations and
Policies .01.
6 Exchange Rule 510, Interpretations and Policies
.01 continues to obligate the Exchange to announce
the replacement classes by a Listings Alert.
