Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend Rule 5.5A, 

Select Provisions of Options Listing 

Procedures Plan, 5.8, Long-Term 

Equity Option Series (LEAPS) and Rule 

24.9, Terms of Index Option Contracts 

August 22, 2018. 

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 August 

20, 2018, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Cboe Options’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I and II below, which Items have 

been prepared by the Exchange. The 

Exchange filed the proposal as a ‘‘noncontroversial’’ proposed rule change 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of 

the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder.4 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 

Rules 5.5A, 5.8, and 24.9. 

(additions are italicized; deletions are 

[bracketed]) 

* * * * * 

Rules of Cboe Exchange, Inc. 

* * * * * 

Rule 5.5A. Select Provisions of Options 

Listing Procedures Plan 

(a) No change. 

(b) The exercise price of each option 

series listed by the Exchange shall be 

fixed at a price per share which is 

reasonably close to the price of the 

underlying equity security, Exchange 

Traded Fund (‘‘ETF’’ and referred to as 

a ‘‘Unit’’ in Rule 5.3) or Trust Issued 

Receipt (‘‘TIR’’) at or about the time the 

Exchange determines to list such series. 

Additionally, 

(i) Exercise Price Range Limitations— 

Except as provided in subparagraphs (ii) 

through (iv) below, if the price of the 

underlying security is less than or equal 

to $20, the Exchange shall not list new 

option series with an exercise price 

more than 100% above or below the 

price of the underlying security. 

However, the foregoing restriction shall 

not prohibit the listing of at least three 

exercise prices per expiration month in 

an option class. Except as provided in 

Rule 5.5(d)(4), if the price of the 

underlying security is greater than $20, 

the Exchange shall not list new option 

series with an exercise price more than 

50% above or below the price of the 

underlying security. 

The price of the underlying security is 

measured by: 

(1) For intra-day add-on series and 

next-day series additions, the daily high 

and low of all prices reported by all 

national securities exchanges; 

(2) for new expiration months, the 

daily high and low of all prices reported 

by all national securities exchanges on 

the day the Exchange determines its 

preliminary notification of new series; 

[and] 

(3) for option series to be added as a 

result of pre-market trading, the most 

recent share price reported by all 

national securities exchanges between 

7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. (Chicago 

time)[.]; and 

(4) for option series to be added based 

on trading following regular trading 

hours, the most recent share price 

reported by all national securities 

exchanges between 3:15 p.m. and 5:00 

p.m. (Chicago time). 

(ii)–(vi) No change. 

* * * * * 

Rule 5.8. Long-Term Equity Option 

Series (LEAPS) 

(a) No change. 

(b) [When a new equity LEAPS series 

is listed, such series will be opened for 

trading either when there is buying or 

selling interest, or 40 minutes prior to 

the close, whichever occurs first. No 

quotations will be posted for such 

option series until they are opened for 

trading. 

(c)] With regard to the listing of new 

January LEAPS series on equity option 

classes, options on Exchange Traded 

Funds (‘‘ETFs’’ and referred to as 

‘‘Units’’ in Rule 5.3), or options on Trust 

Issued Receipts (‘‘TIRs’’), the Exchange 

shall not add new LEAP series on a 

currently listed and traded option class 

earlier than the Monday prior to the 

September expiration (which is 28 

months before the expiration)[: 

(i) Earlier than September (which is 

28 months before the expiration), for an 

option class on the January expiration 

cycle; 

(ii) Earlier than October (which is 27 

months before expiration), for an option 

class on the February expiration cycle; 

and 

(iii) Earlier than November (which is 

26 months before expiration), for an 

option class on the March expiration 

cycle]. 

Pursuant to the Options Listing 

Procedures Plan, exchanges that list and 

trade the same equity option class, ETF 

option class, or TIR option class are 

authorized to jointly determine and 

coordinate with the Clearing 

Corporation on the date of introduction 

of new LEAP series for that option class 

consistent with this paragraph ([c]b). 

([d]c) The Exchange shall not list new 

LEAP series on equity option classes, 

options on ETFs, or options on TIRs in 

a new expiration year if the national 

average daily contract volume, 

excluding LEAP and FLEX series, for 

that option class during the preceding 

three calendar months is less than 1,000 

contracts, unless the new LEAP series 

has an expiration year that has already 

been listed on another exchange for that 

option class. The preceding volume 

threshold does not apply during the first 

six months an equity option class, 

option on an ETF, or option on a TIR 

is listed on any exchange. 

* * * * * 

Rule 24.9. Terms of Index Option 

Contracts 

(a) No change. 

(b) Long-Term Index Option Series 

(‘‘LEAPS’’). 

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of 

Paragraph (a)(2) above, the Exchange 

may list long-term index option series 

that expire from 12 to 180 months from 

the date of issuance. 

(A) Index LEAPS may be based on 

either the full or reduced value of the 

underlying index. 

(B) There may be up to 10 expiration 

months, none further out than onehundred eighty (180) months. 

[(B) When a new Index LEAPS series 

is listed, such series will be opened for 

trading either when there is buying or 

selling interest, or 40 minutes prior to 

the close, whichever occurs first. No 

quotations will be posted for such

Room. 

II. 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 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The purpose of this proposed rule 

change is to amend Rules 5.5A, 5.8, and 

24.9 to conform to recently approved 

changes to the Options Listing 

Procedures Plan (‘‘OLPP’’).5 The 

Exchange, which is one of the 

Participant Exchanges 6 to the OLPP, 

currently has rules that are designed to 

incorporate the requirements of the 

OLPP. All Participant Exchanges have 

similar such (essentially uniform) rules 

to ensure consistency and compliance 

with the OLPP. The Exchange proposes 

to modify such rules to reflect the recent 

updates as described below. 

Addition of Long-Term Equity Options 

(‘‘LEAPS’’) 

First, the OLPP has been amended to 

change the earliest date on which new 

January LEAPS on equity options, 

options on Exchange Traded Funds 

(‘‘ETF’’), or options on Trust Issued 

Receipts (‘‘TIR’’) may be added to a 

single date (from three separate 

months). As noted in the OLPP Notice, 

in the past, there were operational 

concerns related to adding new January 

LEAPs series for all options classes on 

which LEAPs were listed on a single 

trading day.7 And, the addition of new 

series in a pre-electronic trading 

environment was a manual process. To 

accommodate this, the addition of new 

January LEAPs series was spread across 

three months (September, October, and 

November). Today, however, these 

operational concerns related to January 

LEAPs have been alleviated as new 

series can be added in bulk 

electronically. The Plan Participants, 

including the Exchange, believe that 

moving the addition of new January 

LEAPs series to no earlier than the 

Monday prior to the September 

expiration would reduce marketplace 

confusion about available January 

LEAPs series. Where previously January 

LEAPs series for options classes on the 

February or March expiration cycles 

would not have been available as early 

as January LEAPs series for options 

classes on the January expiration cycle, 

under the proposed change, all January 

LEAPs series will be available 

concurrently. Accordingly, to conform 

to this change, the Exchange proposes to 

modify current Rule 5.8(c) to reflect that 

new January LEAPS series on equity 

options classes, options on ETFs, or 

options on TIRs, may not be added on 

a currently listed and traded option 

class earlier than the Monday prior to 

the September expiration (which is 28 

months before the expiration).8

Addition of Equity, ETF, and TIR 

Option Series After Regular Trading 

Hours 

Second, the OLPP has been amended 

to allow equity, ETF, and TIR option 

series to be added based on trading after 

regular trading hours (i.e., after-market). 

As noted in the OLPP Notice, the prior 

version of the OLPP did not allow for 

option series to be added based on 

trading following regular trading hours.9

As such, the Exchange Participants were 

are unable to add new option series that 

may result from trading following 

regular trading hours until the next 

morning, depending on the range of 

prices in pre-market trading, which is 

significant because events that occur 

after regular trading hours, such as 

earnings releases, often have an 

important impact on the price of an 

underlying security. In addition, there 

are operational difficulties for market 

participants throughout the industry 

adding series after system startup. To 

avoid the potential burden that would 

result from the inability to add series as 

a result of trading following regular 

trading hours, the OLPP was amended 

to allow an additional category by 

which the price of an underlying 

security may be measured. Specifically, 

to conform to the amended OLPP, the 

Exchange proposes to add subparagraph 

(b)(i)(4) to Rule 5.5A to provide that ‘‘for 

option series to be added based on 

trading following regular trading 

hours,’’ the price of the underlying 

security is measured by ‘‘the most 

recent share price reported by all 

national securities exchanges between 

3:15 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Chicago 

time).’’ 10

Technical Changes 

The Exchange proposes to modify 

Rules to delete now obsolete operational 

language, which dates back to when 

LEAPs were first adopted. This language 

provides that when a new equity or 

index LEAPS series, as applicable, is 

listed, such series will be opened for 

trading either when there is buying or 

selling interest, or 40 minutes prior to 

the close, whichever occurs first. No 

quotations will be posted for such 

option series until they are opened for 

trading. The Exchange proposes to 

delete this language because when this 

language was adopted, LEAPs were not 

opened for trading until late in the 

trading day unless there was buying or 

selling interest.11 Today, however, 

technological improvements allow the 

Exchange to open all LEAP series at the 

same time as all other series in an 

option class. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the

17 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

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

give the Commission written notice of its intent to 

file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of 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 Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement.

19 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

20See OLPP Notice, supra note 5. 

21For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has also 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

22 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’) and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to the Exchange 

and, in particular, the requirements of 

Section 6(b) of the Act.12 Specifically, 

the Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Section 

6(b)(5) 13 requirements that the rules of 

an exchange be 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. 

Additionally, the Exchange believes the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the Section 6(b)(5) 14 requirement that 

the rules of an exchange not be designed 

to permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

In particular, the proposed rule 

change, which conforms to the recently 

adopted provisions of the OLPP, as 

amended, allows the Exchange to 

continue to list extended far term option 

series that have been viewed as 

beneficial to traders, investors and 

public customers. Accordingly, the 

Exchange believes that the proposal is 

consistent with the Act because it will 

allow the Exchange to list all January 

2021 expiration series on the Monday 

prior to the September 2018 expiration. 

Moreover, this change would simplify 

the process for adding new January 

LEAP options series and reduce 

potential for investor confusion because 

all new January LEAP options would be 

made available beginning at the same 

time, consistent with the amended 

OLPP. The Exchange notes that this 

proposal does not propose any new 

provisions that have not already been 

approved by the Commission in the 

amended OLPP, but instead maintains 

series listing rules that conform to the 

amended OLPP. 

The proposal to permit series to be 

added based on after-market trading is 

designed to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to foster cooperation 

and coordination with persons engaged 

in facilitating transactions in securities, 

and to remove impediments to and 

perfect the mechanisms of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, by allowing the Exchange to 

make series available for trading with 

reduced operational difficulties. The 

Exchange notes that this proposed 

change, which is consistent with the 

amended OLPP should provide market 

participants with earlier notice 

regarding what options series will be 

available for trading the following day, 

and should help to enhance investors’ 

ability to plan their options trading. The 

Exchange also believes that the 

proposed technical changes, including 

deleting obsolete language and 

reorganizing and consolidating the rule, 

promote just and equitable principles of 

trade, foster cooperation and 

coordination with persons engaged in 

facilitating transactions in securities, 

and remove impediments to and perfect 

the mechanism of a free and open 

market and a national market system. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

Cboe Options does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. Specifically, 

the Exchange believes that by 

conforming Exchange rules to the 

amended OLPP, the Exchange would 

promote regulatory clarity and 

consistency, thereby reducing burdens 

on the marketplace and facilitating 

investor protection. The Exchange 

believes that adopting rules, which it 

anticipates will likewise be adopted by 

Participant Exchanges, would allow for 

continued competition between 

Exchange market participants trading 

similar products as their counterparts 

on other exchanges, while at the same 

time allowing the Exchange to continue 

to compete for order flow with other 

exchanges in option issues. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on 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 15 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.16 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.17

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 18 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),19 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with the protection 

of investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. The 

Commission notes that the Exchange’s 

proposal would conform the Exchange’s 

rules to the amended OLPP, which the 

Commission previously approved.20

Accordingly, the Commission believes 

that the proposal raises no new or novel 

regulatory issues and waiver of the 30- 

day operative delay is consistent with 

the protection of investors and the 

public interest. The Commission 

therefore waives the 30-day operative 

delay and designates the proposed rule 

change to be operative upon filing.21

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of such 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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) 22 of the Act to 

determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved.
