Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 97 / Friday, May 19, 2023 / Notices the listing and trading of NDXESG options could benefit investors by providing them with additional investment and hedging alternatives. As the Exchange notes, the proposed NDXESG options could become part of market participants’ investment and hedging strategies related to positions in both the NDXESG and NDX in light of the relationship between these two indices.26 Moreover, options on broadbased, ESG-related indexes are not novel. For example, options on the S&P 500 ESG Index are listed and traded on Cboe Exchange, Inc.27 The proposed NDXESG options could, therefore, promote competition; further, consistent with section 6(b)(8) of the Act, they are not designed to impose an unnecessary burden on competition. The Commission also believes that the proposal is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The NDXESG is a broad-based index under the Exchange’s rules, and the NDXESG and proposed NDXESG options meet the Exchange’s criteria for the initial listing of options on a broadbased index, which previously have been approved by the Commission.28 After initial listing, the Exchange’s maintenance listing criteria, which also have been previously approved by the Commission, will apply to NDXESG options.29 The Commission believes that the application and satisfaction of these listing requirements significantly minimize the potential for manipulation of the NDXESG or for adverse market impact to result from the listing or trading of NDXESG options. In addition, the proposed terms for NDXESG options—such as listing up to twelve near-term expiration months and LEAPS, the strike interval, a.m.settlement, cash-settlement, Europeanstyle exercise, and the minimum trading increment—are consistent with the terms for other broad-based index options trading on Phlx, including NDX options.30 In the same vein, the Exchange rules applicable to broadbased index options regarding sales practices, customer accounts, position 26 See Notice, 88 FR at 20585. Securities Exchange Act Release No. 89749 (September 2, 2020), 85 FR 55723 (September 9, 2020). 28 See Notice, 88 FR at 20585; Phlx Options 4A, section 3(d); see also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54158 (July 17, 2006), 71 FR 41853 (July 24, 2006) (Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 Thereto Relating to Listing Standards for Broad-Based Index Options) (‘‘Phlx Listing Standards Approval Order’’). 29 See Notice, 88 FR at 20585; Phlx Options 4A, section 3(e); see also Phlx Listing Standards Approval Order. 30 See Notice, 88 FR at 20585. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 27 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:30 May 18, 2023 Jkt 259001 and exercise limits, margin requirements, and trading halts will apply to the NDXESG options.31 Likewise, the Exchange’s existing surveillance and reporting safeguards for index options will apply to NDXESG options.32 Further, the Exchange states that it and OPRA have the necessary systems capacity to handle the additional message traffic associated with the listing of new option series that may result from this proposal.33 The Commission believes that the Exchange’s rules governing the trading of index options help to ensure the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, including with respect to the proposed NDXESG options, which is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Importantly, NDXESG options would be subject to the 25,000 contract position limit that is generally applicable to broad-based index options under Phlx Options 4A, section 6(a), and an equivalent exercise limit under Phlx Options 4A, section 10. Further, under amended Phlx Options 8, section 34(e), and Phlx Options 8, section 34(f), the position and exercise limits for FLEX options on the NDXESG would also be 25,000 contracts on the same side of the market. The Commission believes that the proposed position and exercise limits also should help minimize the potential for manipulation and adverse market impact surrounding the use of the NDXESG options. Finally, the Commission believes that the proposed amendments to correct a technical grammar error in Phlx Options 4A, section 6(c), and to align the position limits for FLEX index options in Phlx Options 8, section 34(e), with the position limits for the corresponding standard index options in Phlx Options 4A, section 6, would clarify the rule text, reduce the potential for confusion regarding FLEX index option position and exercise limits, and promote internal consistency within the Exchange’s rules. Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,34 that the proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2023– 09) be, and hereby is, approved. 31 See id. id. 33 See id. at 20584. 34 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 32 See PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.35 Sherry R.
