Pursuant to 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 May 8, 2020, Miami International Securities Exchange, LLC (‘‘MIAX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 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 the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change Sunshine Act Meeting; Cancellation Vanessa A. Countryman, SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION The Exchange is filing a proposal 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 on certain exchange-traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’) and to make minor nonsubstantive technical corrections to each Policy. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s website at https://www.miaxoptions.com/rulefilings/ at MIAX’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 1 15 2 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:07 May 21, 2020 Jkt 250001 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 17 CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00105 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 31239 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]. E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM 22MYN1
