Approval of a Proposed Rule Change
To Amend Rule 915 (Criteria for
Underlying Securities) To Accelerate
the Listing of Options on Certain IPOs
July 27, 2023.
I. Introduction
On April 21, 2023, NYSE American
LLC (‘‘NYSE American’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to amend NYSE American Rule
915 (Criteria for Underlying Securities)
to reduce the time to market for the
listing and trading of options on certain
covered securities following their initial
public offering (‘‘IPO’’). The proposed
rule change was published for comment
in the Federal Register on May 1, 2023.3
One comment letter was received on the
proposed rule change.4
On June 13, 2023, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,5 the Commission
designated a longer period within which
to approve the proposed rule change,
disapprove the proposed rule change, or
institute proceedings to determine
whether to disapprove the proposed
rule change.6 This order grants approval
of the proposed rule change.
II. Description of the Proposal
The Exchange proposes to modify
Commentary .01(4)(a) of NYSE
American Rule 915 to reduce the time
for it to begin listing and trading options
on certain covered securities following

their IPO.7 NYSE American Rule 915
establishes requirements that
underlying securities must meet in
order for the Exchange to list and trade
option contracts on them. Commentary
.01 of that rule sets forth certain
guidelines for the Exchange to consider
in evaluating potential underlying
securities.
One such guideline is a minimum
market price per share that an
underlying security must trade at before
the Exchange can list options on it.8
Specifically, Commentary .01(4)(a) to
NYSE American Rule 915 requires the
market price per share of an underlying
covered security to have been at least
$3.00 for the previous three consecutive
business days preceding the date on
which the Exchange submits a
certificate to The Options Clearing
Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) to list and trade
options on it (‘‘three-day lookback
period’’).9 Under the current rule, if an
IPO occurs on a Monday, the earliest
date the Exchange could submit its
listing certificate to OCC would be
Thursday, with the market price
determined by the closing price over the
three-day lookback period from Monday
through Wednesday. An option on the
security would then be eligible for
trading on the Exchange on Friday (i.e.,
within four business days following the
IPO inclusive of the day the listing
certificate is submitted to OCC).
The Exchange proposes to waive the
three-day lookback period in
Commentary .01(4)(a) for certain
covered securities following their IPO
and accelerate the listing of options on
such securities by up to two days.10 As
proposed, the Exchange would permit
options to be listed and traded on a new
IPO with a market capitalization of at
least $3 billion based upon its offering
price starting on or after the second
business day following the covered
security’s IPO day (i.e., not inclusive of
7 See 15 U.S.C. 77r(b)(1)(A) (defining ‘‘covered
security’’).
8 NYSE American Rule 915(a) requires that, for
underlying securities to be eligible for options
listing, such securities must be duly registered and
be an ‘‘NMS stock,’’ as defined in Rule 600 of
Regulation NMS under the Act, and be
characterized by having a substantial number of
outstanding shares which are widely held and
actively traded. See NYSE American Rules 915(a)(1)
and (2).
9 The Exchange states that the Options Listing
Procedures Plan (‘‘OLPP’’) requires that the listing
certificate be provided to OCC no earlier than 12:01
a.m. and no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on
the trading day prior to the day on which trading
is to begin. See the OLPP, at p. 3, available at:
https://ncuoccblobdev.blob.core.windows.net/

the day of the IPO).11 For example,
under the proposed rule, if an IPO for
a company with a market capitalization
of $3 billion (based upon its offering
price) occurs on a Monday, the
Exchange could submit a listing
certificate to OCC (to allow it to list and
trade options on the IPO security) on
Tuesday if all of the requirements for
options listing are satisfied. Options on
the IPO security could then list and
begin trading on the Exchange on
Wednesday (i.e., starting on or after the
second business day following the IPO
day, not inclusive of the IPO day). In
this way, the proposal could accelerate
the listing and trading of options on IPO
securities by up to two days.
III. Discussion and Commission’s
Findings
After careful review of the proposed
rule change, the Commission finds that
the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder that are
applicable to a national securities
exchange.12 Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,13 which requires that
the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed, among other
things, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
As discussed above, the Exchange
proposes to reduce the time to market
for the listing and trading of options on
underlying covered securities following
their IPO if they have a market
capitalization of at least $3 billion based
upon the offering price. By waiving the
three-day lookback period for such
covered securities in Commentary
.01(4)(a), the proposed rule change
could reduce the time to market of
options on such securities by up to two
days, as options on such securities
11 See proposed Commentary .01(4)(a)(ii) to NYSE
American Rule 915. The Exchange also proposes a
non-substantive change to number the existing and
proposed criteria for covered securities as (i) and
(ii) of paragraph (4)(a). See proposed Commentary
.01(4)(a)(i) and (ii) to NYSE American Rule 915.
12 In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the rule’s impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See
15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
13 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

would be permitted to be listed and
traded starting on or after the second
business day following the IPO (not
including the day of the IPO) once all
listing criteria are satisfied.
The proposed rule change would only
waive the three-day lookback period for
covered securities following their IPO if
they have a substantial market
capitalization of at least $3 billion based
upon their IPO offering price. According
to the Exchange, based upon data from
2017 to present, all underlying
securities with an IPO market
capitalization of $3 billion would have
also met the $3.00 market price per
share three-day lookback period
requirement.14
The Commission believes the
proposed waiver of the three-day
lookback period requirement is
appropriate for underlying covered
securities that have a market
capitalization of at least $3 billion based
on the IPO offering price because those
securities would likely satisfy the
lookback requirement, in which case the
minimum $3.00 price test would be met.
Further, the proposed market
capitalization requirement of $3 billion
based on the IPO offering price would
ensure an objective qualification process
for the waiver that would prevent
market participants from being able to
influence whether an IPO security
qualifies for the waiver through trading
in the security, which could be a
concern if the threshold price were
based on the market price of the shares
following the IPO. In accelerating the
time to market for options on these
types of large, and likely high profile
IPOs, the proposal does not materially
change the listing process for options,
nor does it propose to change any other
listing criteria.
In addition, the Exchange represents
that trading in IPO securities is subject
to surveillances administered by the
Exchange and cross-market
surveillances administered by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(‘‘FINRA’’) on behalf of the Exchange
that are designed to detect violations of
Exchange rules and applicable federal
securities laws.15 The Exchange
represents that those surveillances are
adequate to reasonably monitor
Exchange trading of IPO securities.16
Vigilant surveillance can help deter and
detect violations of Exchange rules and

id. According to the Exchange, FINRA
conducts cross-market surveillances on behalf of
the Exchange pursuant to a regulatory services
agreement. The Exchange is responsible for
FINRA’s performance under this regulatory services
agreement. See id. at 26635, n.9.

the federal securities rules and
regulations, and in so doing can help
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, and, in general,
protect investors and the public
interest.17
The Commission received one
comment letter that recommended
approval of the proposed rule change.
The commenter asserted that the
proposed rule change would ‘‘benefit
both investors and the market by
allowing for increased efficiency in
portfolio and risk management while
continuing to provide for investor
protection.’’ 18
The Commission finds that the
proposal to accelerate the listing and
trading of options on certain covered
securities following their IPO by up to
two days if they have a market
capitalization of at least $3 billion based
upon their IPO offering price, without
modifying any other aspect of the
options listing process, should facilitate
transactions in securities. Accordingly,
the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act.19
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,20 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NYSEAMER–
2023–27), be, and it hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated

On April 21, 2023, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' or

(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend NYSE American Rule 915 (Criteria for

initial public offering (``IPO''). The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on May 1, 2023.\3\ One

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 13, 2023, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ the
Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Description of the Proposal
The Exchange proposes to modify Commentary .01(4)(a) of NYSE
American Rule 915 to reduce the time for it to begin listing and
trading options on certain covered securities following their IPO.\7\
NYSE American Rule 915 establishes requirements that underlying
securities must meet in order for the Exchange to list and trade option
contracts on them. Commentary .01 of that rule sets forth certain
guidelines for the Exchange to consider in evaluating potential
underlying securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 15 U.S.C. 77r(b)(1)(A) (defining ``covered security'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One such guideline is a minimum market price per share that an
underlying security must trade at before the Exchange can list options
on it.\8\ Specifically, Commentary .01(4)(a) to NYSE American Rule 915
requires the market price per share of an underlying covered security
to have been at least $3.00 for the previous three consecutive business
days preceding the date on which the Exchange submits a certificate to
The Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') to list and trade options on
it (``three-day lookback period'').\9\ Under the current rule, if an
IPO occurs on a Monday, the earliest date the Exchange could submit its
listing certificate to OCC would be Thursday, with the market price
determined by the closing price over the three-day lookback period from
Monday through Wednesday. An option on the security would then be
eligible for trading on the Exchange on Friday (i.e., within four
business days following the IPO inclusive of the day the listing
certificate is submitted to OCC).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ NYSE American Rule 915(a) requires that, for underlying
securities to be eligible for options listing, such securities must
be duly registered and be an ``NMS stock,'' as defined in Rule 600
of Regulation NMS under the Act, and be characterized by having a
substantial number of outstanding shares which are widely held and
actively traded. See NYSE American Rules 915(a)(1) and (2).
\9\ The Exchange states that the Options Listing Procedures Plan
(``OLPP'') requires that the listing certificate be provided to OCC
no earlier than 12:01 a.m. and no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time) on the trading day prior to the day on which trading is to
begin. See the OLPP, at p. 3, available at: https://ncuoccblobdev.blob.core.windows.net/media/theocc/media/clearing-services/services/options_listing_procedures_plan.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange proposes to waive the three-day lookback period in
Commentary .01(4)(a) for certain covered securities following their IPO
and accelerate the listing of options on such securities by up to two
days.\10\ As proposed, the Exchange would permit options to be listed
and traded on a new IPO with a market capitalization of at least $3
billion based upon its offering price starting on or after the second
business day following the covered security's IPO day (i.e., not
inclusive of the day of the IPO).\11\ For example, under the proposed
rule, if an IPO for a company with a market capitalization of $3
billion (based upon its offering price) occurs on a Monday, the
Exchange could submit a listing certificate to OCC (to allow it to list
and trade options on the IPO security) on Tuesday if all of the
requirements for options listing are satisfied. Options on the IPO
security could then list and begin trading on the Exchange on Wednesday
(i.e., starting on or after the second business day following the IPO
day, not inclusive of the IPO day). In this way, the proposal could
accelerate the listing and trading of options on IPO securities by up
to two days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Notice, supra note 3, 88 FR at 26635.
\11\ See proposed Commentary .01(4)(a)(ii) to NYSE American Rule
915. The Exchange also proposes a non-substantive change to number
the existing and proposed criteria for covered securities as (i) and
(ii) of paragraph (4)(a). See proposed Commentary .01(4)(a)(i) and
(ii) to NYSE American Rule 915.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Discussion and Commission's Findings
After careful review of the proposed rule change, the Commission
finds that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a
national securities exchange.\12\ Specifically, the Commission finds
that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\13\ which requires that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed, among other things, to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
\13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed above, the Exchange proposes to reduce the time to
market for the listing and trading of options on underlying covered
securities following their IPO if they have a market capitalization of
at least $3 billion based upon the offering price. By waiving the
three-day lookback period for such covered securities in Commentary
.01(4)(a), the proposed rule change could reduce the time to market of
options on such securities by up to two days, as options on such
securities
[[Page 50928]]
would be permitted to be listed and traded starting on or after the
second business day following the IPO (not including the day of the
IPO) once all listing criteria are satisfied.
The proposed rule change would only waive the three-day lookback
period for covered securities following their IPO if they have a
substantial market capitalization of at least $3 billion based upon
their IPO offering price. According to the Exchange, based upon data
from 2017 to present, all underlying securities with an IPO market

is subject to surveillances administered by the Exchange and cross-
market surveillances administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory

surveillance can help deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and
the federal securities rules and regulations, and in so doing can help
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, and, in
