In addition, the proposal amends Exchange Rule 5.33(b)(2) to provide that, in a class in which the Exchange determines that complex orders with Capacity M or N are not eligible for entry into the Complex Order Book (‘‘COB’’), the Exchange may determine that a complex order with Capacity M or N may enter the COB in complex strategies designated by the Exchange.3 The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 28, 2024.4 On April 4, 2024, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.5 The Commission has received no comment letters regarding the proposal. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comment on Amendment No. 1 and is approving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis. II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 The definition of complex strategy in Exchange Rule 5.33(a) provides that new complex strategies may be created as the result of the receipt of a complex instrument creation request or the receipt of a complex order for a complex strategy that is not currently in the Exchange’s system.6 The Exchange proposes to revise this definition to also allow the Exchange to create new complex strategies. The Exchange states that customers will continue to have the 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 The Exchange states that the origin code ‘‘M’’ represents Exchange Market-Makers, and the origin code ‘‘N’’ represents market makers or specialists on another exchange (‘‘away market makers’’). The Exchange states that, currently, orders representing any capacity, including M and N, are eligible for entry and may rest on the COB in all classes except S&P 500 Index (‘‘SPX’’) and Cboe Volatility Index (‘‘VIX’’) options. In SPX and VIX options, M and N complex orders are not eligible for entry into the COB except as set forth in Exchange Rule 5.33(b)(2). See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 99838 (March 22, 2024), 89 FR 21548, 21549, n.3 (March 28, 2024) (‘‘Notice’’) and Amendment No. 1. 4 See Notice, supra note 3. 5 Amendment No. 1 revises the proposal to correct descriptions of the current complex book process by stating that Market-Makers and away market makers currently are not permitted to enter orders in VIX options, as well as SPX options, in the COB. Amendment No. 1 makes no changes to Exhibit 5 of the proposal. Amendment No. 1 is available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboe-2024-015/ srcboe2024015.htm. 6 See Cboe Rule 5.33(a). 2 17 E:\FR\FM\14MYN1.SGM 14MYN1
