A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
In August 2017, the Commission
approved a proposed rule change for the
listing on the Exchange of NDXPM
options on a pilot basis, with the pilot
to terminate on the earlier to occur of (i)
12 months following the date of the first
listing of the NDXPM options, or (ii)
December 29, 2018 pursuant to Phlx
Rule 1101A Commentary .05.3
Thereafter, the Exchange amended
Commentary .05 to Phlx Rule 1101A to
extend the pilot through May 6, 2019
because P.M.-settled options on the
NASDAQ–100 Index (‘‘NASDAQ–100’’)
had not yet been listed by Phlx.4
By way of background, the Pilot
permits the listing and trading, on a
pilot basis, of NASDAQ–100 options
with third-Friday-of-the month
expiration dates, whose exercise
settlement value will be based on the
closing index value, symbol XQC, of the
NASDAQ–100 on the expiration day
(‘‘P.M.-settled’’). In particular, NDXPM
uses a $100 multiplier, and the
minimum trading increment will be
$0.05 for options trading below $3.00
and $0.10 for all other series. Strike
price intervals are set at no less than
$5.00. Consistent with existing rules for
index options, the Exchange allows up
to nine near term expiration months, as
well as LEAPS. The product will have
European-style exercise and will not be
subject to position limits, though there
would be enhanced reporting
requirements.
The Exchange now proposes to amend
Commentary .05 to Phlx Rule 1101A to
extend the duration of the pilot program
for these nonstandard expirations
through November 4, 2019. The
Exchange continues to experience
technical programming delays related to
P.M.-settled options on the NASDAQ–
100 and as a result, these option series
have not yet been listed by the
Exchange. In order to allow sufficient
time to realize the benefits of a pilot
program for NDXPM options, the

(August 2, 2017), 82 FR 37138 (August 8, 2017)
(approving SR–Phlx–2017–04) (Order Granting
Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified
by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, To Permit the Listing
and Trading of P.M.-Settled Nasdaq-100 Index
Options on a Pilot Basis) (‘‘Pilot’’).

Exchange proposes the extension. By
extending the outer limit of the pilot
period, the Exchange believes it will
have adequate time to resolve the
programming issues, implement the
listing of NDXPM options, and provide
the pilot reports associated with the
initial approval order over a meaningful
period of time.5 Without the
amendment, the pilot period would end
on May 6, 2019 and would not afford
the Exchange or Commission a
sufficient period of time within which
NDXPM options may trade in order to
be meaningfully evaluated by the
Exchange as provided in the August
2017 approval order.6 The Exchange
will make public on its website any data
and analysis it submits to the
Commission under the pilot program.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that its
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act,7 in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,8
in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect
investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes the proposed rule
change will protect investors and the
public interest by extending the pilot
period for listing NDXPM options until
November 4, 2019, providing the
Exchange, the Commission and
investors the benefit of a pilot program
of sufficient duration to yield
meaningful information concerning the
impact of NDXPM options on the
market.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. NDXPM
options would be available for trading to
all market participants. The proposed
rule change will facilitate the listing and
trading of a novel option product that
will enhance competition among market
participants, to the benefit of investors
and the marketplace. The listing of
NDXPM will enhance competition by
providing investors with an additional
investment vehicle, in a fully-electronic
trading environment, through which

Alert notifying Members when NDXPM options are
listed.

investors can gain and hedge exposure
to NASDAQ–100 stocks. Further, this
product could offer a competitive
alternative to other existing investment
products that seek to allow investors to
gain broad market exposure. Also, the
Exchange notes that it is possible for
other exchanges to develop or license
the use of a new or different index to
compete with the NASDAQ–100 and
seek Commission approval to list and
trade options on such an index.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days from the date on
which it was filed, or such shorter time
as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.10
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 11 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, Rule
19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 12 permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time
if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become effective and
operative immediately upon filing. The
Exchange states that such waiver would
allow the Exchange to extend the pilot
period for listing NDXPM options prior
to the Pilot’s scheduled expiration,
providing the Exchange, the
Commission, and investors the benefit
of a pilot program of sufficient duration
to yield meaningful information
concerning the impact of NDXPM
options on the market. For this reason,
the Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent

the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and the text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such
shorter time as designated by the Commission.

with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the
Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay requirement and
designates the proposed rule change as

At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the

In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and

1. Purpose
In August 2017, the Commission approved a proposed rule change for
the listing on the Exchange of NDXPM options on a pilot basis, with the
pilot to terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) 12 months following
the date of the first listing of the NDXPM options, or (ii) December

Index (``NASDAQ-100'') had not yet been listed by Phlx.\4\

(Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Pilot Period for the Listing of P.M.-Settled

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By way of background, the Pilot permits the listing and trading, on
a pilot basis, of NASDAQ-100 options with third-Friday-of-the month

closing index value, symbol XQC, of the NASDAQ-100 on the expiration

and the minimum trading increment will be $0.05 for options trading

Members when NDXPM options are listed.
