SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

[Release No. 34–38414; File No. SR–CBOE–

97–01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice

of Filing and Order Granting

Accelerated Approval of a Proposed

Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 to

the Proposed Rule Change by the

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc.

Relating to Listing Criteria for Other

Securities

March 18, 1997.

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

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

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

notice is hereby given that on January

21, 1997, the Chicago Board Options

Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’ or

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities

and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule

change as described in Items I, II, and

III below, which Items have been

prepared by the CBOE. On March 14,

1997, the CBOE submitted Amendment

No. 1 to the proposed rule change.3 The

Commission is publishing this notice to

solicit comments on the proposed rule

change from interested persons and to

grant accelerated approval to the

proposed rule change, as amended.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Terms of Substance of

the Proposed Rule Change

The CBOE proposes to amend its Rule

31.5.F to conform the Exchange’s listing

criteria for ‘‘Other Securities’’ to those

of other exchanges. The text of the

proposed rule change is available at the

Office of the Secretary, CBOE and at the

Commission.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of and

Statutory Basis for, Proposed Rule

Change

In its filing with the Commission, the

CBOE included statements concerning

the purpose of and basis for the

proposed rule change and discussed any

comments if received on the proposed

rule change. The text of these statements

may be examined at the places specified

in Item III below. The CBOE 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 purpose of the proposed rule

change is to amend Exchange Rule

31.5.F which sets forth the listing

criteria for ‘‘Other Securities.’’

Securities that might be listed by the

Exchange under this category are

securities that do not fit within the

traditional definitions of equity or debt

securities or that do not otherwise

qualify for listing under Exchange Rule

31.5. These ‘‘Other Securities’’ may

have certain characteristics of any of

these other types of securities.

CBOE believes Rule 31.5 is more

restrictive than comparable rules of the

New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’)

and the American Stock Exchange

(‘‘Amex’’). Rule 31.5.F specifies

minimum issuer qualifications with

respect to assets and stockholders’

equity, the minimum public

distribution, the minimum aggregate

market value and other criteria to assist

the Exchange in considering the

suitability of these securities for listing

on the Exchange. To make its rule

consistent with rules of the other

exchanges, the Exchange is proposing to

eliminate current provisions that

prohibit the listing of (1) any cash

settled product that is settled in any

currency other than U.S. dollars, or (2)

any product that has a mandatory

redemption price of less than three

dollars. Additionally, the Exchange

proposes to delete the provision

requiring 100 public holders if the

security is traded in thousand dollar

denominations.

2. Statutory Basis

The proposed rule change is designed

to enable the CBOE to compete

effectively for listings in these types of

securities. As such, the proposed rule

change is consistent with Section 6(b) 4

of the Act, in general, and furthers the

objectives of Section 6(b)(5) 5 in

particular in that it is designed to

promote just and equitable principles of

trade and to protect investors and the

public interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

CBOE does not believe that the

proposed rule change will impose any

burden on competition.

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. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

20549. Copies of the submission, all

subsequent amendments, all written

statements with respect to the proposed

rule change that are filed with the
