[Release No. 34–64052; File No. SR–C2–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; C2 

Options Exchange, Incorporated: 

Notice of Filing and Immediate 

Effectiveness of Proposed Rule 

Change To Establish a Revenue 

Sharing Program With Correlix, Inc. 

March 8, 2011. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that, on March 1, 

2011, C2 Options Exchange, 

Incorporated (‘‘C2’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by C2. The Commission 

is publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

C2 Options Exchange, Incorporated 

(‘‘C2’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) proposes to 

establish a revenue sharing program 

with Correlix, Inc. The text of the 

proposed rule change is available on the 

Exchange’s Web site (http:// 

www.cboe.org/legal), at the Exchange’s 

Office of the Secretary and at the 

Commission. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, C2 

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. C2 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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange is filing a proposed rule 

change to establish a revenue sharing 

program with Correlix. The Exchange 

has entered into an agreement with 

Correlix to provide to users of the 

Exchange real-time analytical tools to 

measure the latency of orders to and 

from its systems. Under the agreement, 

the Exchange will receive 30% of the 

total monthly subscription fees received 

by Correlix from parties who have 

contracted directly with Correlix to use 

their RaceTeam latency measurement 

service for the Exchange’s systems. The 

Exchange will not bill or contract with 

any Correlix RaceTeam customer 

directly. 

Pricing for the Correlix RaceTeam 

product for the Exchange varies 

depending on the number of unique 

acronyms and logons selected by the 

customer for monitoring by Correlix. For 

the Exchange, the fee will be an initial 

$1,500 monthly base fee for the first 

unique acronym monitored. For each 

additional unique acronym sought to be 

monitored, an additional monthly 

charge of $1,500 will be assessed. The 

monthly price for each unique acronym 

includes the monitoring of up to 25 

Exchange logons associated with that 

particular acronym. Customers that 

wish to exceed 25 logons per-acronym 

for monitoring can purchase additional 

25 logon blocks for an additional fee of 

$750 per month per acronym. 

Under the program, Correlix will see 

an individualized unique Exchangegenerated identifier that will allow 

Correlix RaceTeam to determine round 

trip order time,3 from the time the order 

reaches the Exchange extranet, through 

the Exchange matching engine, and back 

out of the Exchange extranet. The 

RaceTeam product offering does not 

measure latency outside of the Exchange 

extranet. The unique identifier serves as 

a technological information barrier so 

that the RaceTeam data collector will 

only be able to view data for Correlix 

RaceTeam subscriber firms related to 

latency. Correlix will not see 

subscriber’s individual order detail such 

as security, price or size. Individual 

RaceTeam subscribers’ logins will 

restrict access to only their own latency 

data. Correlix will see no specific 

information regarding the trading 

activity of non-subscribers. The 

Exchange believes that the above 

arrangement will provide users of its 

systems greater transparency into the 

processing of their trading activity and 

allow them to make more efficient 

trading decisions. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with

4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give 

the Commission written notice of its intent to file 

the proposed rule change at least five business days 

prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 

change, or such shorter time as designated by the 

Commission. The Commission notes that the 

Exchange satisfied this five-day pre-filing 

requirement.

the provisions of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),4 in 

general, and with Section 6(b)(5) 5 of the 

Act in particular, in that the proposal is 

designed 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. In particular, the 

proposal will provide greater 

transparency into trade and information 

processing and thus allow market 

participants to make better informed 

and more efficient trading decisions. 

In addition, the Exchange believes 

that the proposed rule change is 

consistent with the provisions of 

Section 6 of the Act in general, and with 

Section 6(b)(4) 6 of the Act in particular, 

in that it provides for the equitable 

allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 

other charges among C2 Trading Permit 

Holders and other persons using any 

facility or system which the Exchange 

operates or controls. In particular, the 

Exchange notes that the use of Correlix 

latency measurement services is entirely 

voluntary and made available on a nondiscriminatory basis. In addition, the 

Exchange believes the proposed fees are 

equitable and reasonable in that they are 

charged uniformly to all market 

participants and are comparable to the 

fees charged by Correlix in connection 

with its revenue sharing programs with 

other exchanges. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

C2 does not believe that the proposed 

rule change will impose any burden on 

competition that is not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of purposes 

of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The Exchange has filed the proposed 

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 Because the 

proposed rule change does not: (i) 

Significantly affect the protection of 

investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; and (iii) become operative 

prior to 30 days from the date on which 

it was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, if 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest, the 

proposed rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 

thereunder. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.
