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 the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The proposed rule change amends Exchange Rule 3.33.01 to provide eligible individuals another opportunity to elect to participate in the Maintaining Qualifications Program (‘‘MQP’’). In 2021, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) implemented rule changes, which amended FINRA’s Continuing Education (‘‘CE’’) Program requirements to, among other things, provide eligible individuals who terminate any of their representative or principal registration categories the option of maintaining their qualification for any terminated registration categories by completing annual continuing education through a new program, the MQP.5 Under FINRA Rule 1240.01, the MQP designated a look-back provision that, subject to specified conditions, extended the option to participate in the MQP to individuals who: (1) were registered as a representative or principal within two years immediately prior to March 15, 2022 (the implementation date of the MQP); and (2) individuals who were participating in the Financial Services Affiliate Waiver Program (‘‘FSAWP’’) 6 under FINRA Rule 1210.09 (Waiver of Examinations for Individuals Working 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 93097 (September 21, 2021), 86 FR 53358 (September 27, 2021) (Order Approving File No. SR–FINRA–2021– 015). Other exchanges, including Cboe, subsequently filed copycat rule filings to align their continuing education rules with those of FINRA. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94513 (March 24, 2022), 87 FR 18446 (March 30, 2022), (SR–CBOE–2022–012). 6 The FSAWP is a waiver program for eligible individuals who have left a member firm to work for a foreign or domestic financial services affiliate of a member firm. FINRA stopped accepting new participants for the FSAWP beginning on March 15, 2022; however, individuals who were already participating in the FSAWP prior to that date had the option of continuing in the FSAWP. PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62413 for a Financial Services Industry Affiliate of a Member) immediately prior to March 15, 2022 (collectively, ‘‘Look-Back Individuals’’). In response to FINRA’s rule changes and to facilitate compliance with the Exchange’s CE Program requirements by members of multiple exchanges, the Exchange implemented rule changes to align with FINRA’s CE Program and adopted Exchange Rules 3.33(c), 3.33.01, and 3.33.02. Such rules, among other things, provide eligible individuals who terminate any of their representative or principal registrations the option of maintaining their qualification for any of the terminated registrations by completing continuing education through the MQP. Further, Exchange Rule 3.33.01 includes a lookback provision that, subject to specified conditions, extends the option for maintaining qualifications following a registration category termination to (i) individuals who have been registered as a representative or principal within two years immediately preceding March 15, 2022, and (ii) individuals who have been participants of the FSAWP immediately preceding March 15, 2022 implementation (i.e., Look-Back Individuals). With respect to the FSAWP, the Exchange made the lookback provision available to individuals who are participants in the Exchange’s FSAWP or the FSA waiver programs of Exchange’s affiliate, Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (‘‘C2 Options’’), and/or FINRA immediately preceding March 15, 2022. Look-Back Individuals who elected to participate in the new MQP were required to make such election by March 15, 2022 (the implementation date of the MQP).7 FINRA recently submitted a proposal related to its CE Program (the ‘‘FINRA Rule Change’’).8 The proposal set forth changes to FINRA Rule 1240.01, which provide Look-Back Individuals a second opportunity to elect to participate in the MQP (the ‘‘Second Enrollment Period’’).9 In addition, the proposed rule 7 See Rule 3.33.01. If such individuals elect to participate, they would be required to complete their initial annual content by the end of 2022 (i.e., by the end of the calendar year in which the proposed rule change is implemented). In addition, if such individuals elect to participate, their initial participation period would be adjusted based on the date that their registration was terminated. 8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97184 (March 22, 2023), 88 FR 18359 (March 28, 2023) (SR–FINRA–2023–005). 9 To reflect the availability of the Second Enrollment Period, FINRA Rule 1240.01 clarifies that for all Look-Back Individuals who elect to participate in the MQP, their participation period would also be for a period of five years following the termination of their registration categories, as with other MQP participants.
