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

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.
