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
Options 3, Section 7, ‘‘Types of Orders,’’
and Options 3, Section 14, ‘‘Complex
Orders’’ to: (1) Provide that the
Exchange may determine which order
types and times-in-force provisions are
available on a class or system basis; and
(2) to add other existing order types to
the list of single-leg and Complex Order
types.
The Exchange proposes to add a
sentence to Options 3, Section 14,
Complex Orders, which states, ‘‘The
Exchange may determine to make
certain order types and/or times-in-force
available on a class or System basis.’’
This sentence exists today within
Nasdaq ISE, LLC (‘‘ISE’’) Options 3,
Section 7, ‘‘Types of Orders.’’ 4 This
proposed change is based on the rules
of ISE Options 3, Section 7 and the rules
of Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX
Options’’),5 Rule 21.1, Cboe EDGX
3 17
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii).
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88294
(February 26, 2020), 85 FR 12629 (March 3, 2020)
(SR–ISE–2020–07).
5 BZX Options Rule 21.1(d), Definitions, provides
‘‘The term ‘Order Type’ shall mean the unique
processing prescribed for designated orders, subject
to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (l) below
with respect to orders and bulk messages submitted

21.1(d),6 Cboe Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Cboe’’)
Rule 5.6(a) 7 and Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘C2’’) Rule 6.10(a).8
The purpose of this rule change is to
provide the Exchange with appropriate
flexibility to address different trading
characteristics, market models, and the
investor base of each class, as well as to
handle any System issues that may arise
and require the Exchange to temporarily
not accept certain order types. This rule
is consistent with BZX Options Rule
21.1(d) and (f), EDGX Options Rules
21.1(d) and (f), Cboe Rule 5.6(a) and C2
Rule 6.10(a), each of which provides
these exchanges with substantially the
same flexibility. This rule text is also
consistent with ISE Rules at Options 3,
Section 7.
This rule change will not permit the
Exchange to discriminate among market
through bulk ports, that are eligible for entry into
the System. Unless otherwise specified in the Rules
or the context indicates otherwise, the Exchange
determines which of the following Order Types are
available on a class or system basis.’’ BZX Options
Rule 21.1(f), Definitions, provides ‘‘The term ‘Time
in Force’ shall mean the period of time that the
System will hold an order, subject to the
restrictions set forth in paragraph (l) below with
respect to bulk messages submitted through bulk
ports, for potential execution. Unless otherwise
specified in the Rules or the context indicates
otherwise, the Exchange determines which of the
following Times-in-Force are available on a class or
system basis.’’
6 EDGX Options Rule 21.1(d), Definitions,
provides, ‘‘The term ‘Order Type’ shall mean the
unique processing prescribed for designated orders,
subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (j)
below with respect to orders and bulk messages
submitted through bulk ports, that are eligible for
entry into the System. Unless otherwise specified
in the Rules or the context indicates otherwise, the
Exchange determines which of the following Order
Types are available on a class, system, or trading
session basis. Rule 21.20 sets forth the Order Types
the Exchange may make available for complex
orders.’’ EDGX Options Rule 21.1(f), Definitions,
provides, ‘‘The term ‘Time in Force’ means the
period of time that the System will hold an order,
subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (j)
below with respect to bulk messages submitted
through bulk ports, for potential execution. Unless
otherwise specified in the Rules or the context
indicates otherwise, the Exchange determines
which of the following Times-in-Force are available
on a class, system, or trading session basis. Rule
21.20 sets forth the Times-in-Force the Exchange
may make available for complex orders.’’
7 Cboe Rule 5.6, Order Types, Order Instructions,
and Times-in-Force at subsection (a), Availability,
provides, ‘‘Unless otherwise specified in the Rules
or the context indicates otherwise, the Exchange
determines which of the following order types,
Order Instructions, and Times-in-Force are
available on a class, system, or trading session
basis.’’
8 C2 Rule 6.10, Availability of Orders, at
subsection (a) provides, ‘‘Availability. Unless
otherwise specified in the Rules or the context
indicates otherwise, the Exchange determines
which of the following order types, Order
Instructions, and Times-in-Force are available on a
class, system, or trading session basis. Rule 6.13
sets forth the order types, Order Instructions, and
Times-in-Force the Exchange may make available
for complex orders.’’
