American Stock Exchange LLC 

Relating to the Trading of Ratio Orders 

October 13, 2004. 

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

notice is hereby given that on 

September 23, 2004, the American Stock 

Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 

the proposed rule change as described 

in items I and II below, which items 

have been prepared by the Amex. The 

Amex filed the proposal pursuant to 

section 19(b)(3)(A) under the Act,3 and 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which 

renders the proposal effective upon 

filing with the Commission. 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 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Amex Rule 950, ‘‘Rules of General 

Applicability,’’ and Amex Rule 950–

ANTE, ‘‘Rules of General Applicability’’

to allow ratio orders with certain 

permissible ratio limits, as defined 

below, to be executed through the 

Amex. In addition, the Amex proposes 

to amend Commentary .01 to Amex Rule 

950(d) and Commentary .01 to Amex 

Rule 950–ANTE(d) to include these 

types of permissible ratio orders in the 

same exception to the priority rules that 

Amex Rule 950(d), Commentary .01, 

and Amex Rule 950–ANTE(d), 

Commentary .01, currently provide for 

spread, straddle, and combination 

orders. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

appears below. Additions are italicized.

Applicability’’

Commentary to (d) 

.01 When a member holding a spread 

order, a straddle order, ratio order, or a 

combination order and bidding or 

offering on the basis of a total credit or 

debit for the order has determined that 

the order may not be executed by a 

combination of transactions with or 

within the bids and offers established in 

the marketplace, then the order may be 

executed as a spread, straddle, or 

combination at the total credit or debit 

with one other member without giving 

priority to either bids or offers 

established in the marketplace that are 

not better than the bids or offers 

comprising such total credit or debit, 

provided that, (i) in executing a spread 

order, the member does not buy at the 

established bid for the option contract to 

be bought and sell at the established 

offer for the option contract to be sold 

or, (ii) in executing a straddle or 

combination order, the member does not 

either buy both sides of the order at the 

established bids or sell both sides of the 

order at the established offers.
