(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Cboe’’) proposes to amend its Interpretations and Policies to Rule 5.33 in connection with Market-Makers’ complex orders, quoting obligations and volume. The text of the proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit 5. The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the Exchange’s website (https://www.cboe.com/ AboutCBOE/ CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 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.

(the ‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Cboe Options’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.4 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. Jkt 253001 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

Rule 5.33 governs trading of complex orders on the Exchange and, currently, Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.33 specifically provides that MarketMakers are not required to quote on the Complex Order Book (‘‘COB’’). Complex strategies are not subject to any quoting requirements that are applicable to Market-Makers in the simple market for individual options series or classes. Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.33 also states that volume executed in complex strategies is not taken into consideration when determining whether Market Makers are meeting quoting obligations applicable to Market Makers in the simple market for individual options. The proposed rule change updates Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.33 as it inadvertently refers to volume executed rather than orders, as ‘‘quoting’’ obligations relate to the submission of quotes and orders rather than executed volume. More specifically, pursuant to Rule 5.52, a Market-Maker’s bids and offers entered in the simple market are considered in determining whether a Market-Maker satisfies its quoting obligations, therefore, the proposed rule change amends Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 5.33 to more appropriately reflect this. The proposed change also harmonizes the spelling of Market-Maker with the definition set forth in Rule 1.1 and updates the language to read in plain English, and, to the extent possible, with the language in corresponding Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 6.13 of its affiliated options exchange, Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (‘‘C2’’). Current Rule 5.52(g) provides that a Market-Maker is considered an order entry firm (‘‘OEF’’) 6 under the Rules in all classes in which the Market-Maker has no appointment, and limits the total number of contracts a Market-Maker may execute in classes in which it has no appointment to 25% of the total number of all contracts the Market5 As a result of the proposed Interpretation and Policy, the proposed rule change accordingly updates the subsequent Interpretation and Policy numbering. 6 See Rule 1.1., which defines an ‘‘Order Entry Firm’’ or ‘‘OEF’’ as a Trading Permit Holder that represents as agent customer orders on the Exchange or that is a non-Market-Maker conducting proprietary trading.
