‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule

publishing this notice to solicit

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
Interpretation and Policy .01 to
Exchange Rule 307, Position Limits, and
Interpretation and Policy .01 to
Exchange Rule 309, Exercise Limits, to
increase the position and exercise limits
for options on certain ETFs. These
proposed rule changes are based on the
similar proposal by Cboe Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘Cboe’’).3 The Exchange also proposes
to make certain minor non-substantive
technical corrections to certain ETF
names and symbols in each of the tables
in Interpretations and Policies .01 to
Exchange Rules 307 and 309, as
described below.
Position limits are designed to
address potential manipulative schemes
and adverse market impacts
surrounding the use of options, such as
disrupting the market in the security
underlying the options. While position
limits should address and discourage
the potential for manipulative schemes
and adverse market impact, if such
limits are set too low, participation in
the options market may be discouraged.
The Exchange believes that position
limits must therefore be balanced
between mitigating concerns of any
potential manipulation and the cost of
inhibiting potential hedging activity that
could be used for legitimate economic
purposes.
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88768
(April 29, 2020) (SR–CBOE–2020–015) (Notice of
Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting
Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment No. 1, to Increase
Position Limits for Options on Certain ExchangeTraded Funds and Indexes). The Cboe proposal also
proposed to increase position limits for options
overlying the MSCI Emerging Markets Index
(‘‘MXEF’’) and the MSCI EAFE Index (‘‘MXEA’’).
The Exchange, however, does not list options on the
MXEF or MXEA indexes. Accordingly, this
proposal is limited to the ETFs described above
[sic].
