I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Terms of Substance of

the Proposed Rule Change

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rule 19.6 (Series of Options Contracts 

Open for Trading) to harmonize the 

equity options listing rules of the 

Exchange in regard to the listing of 

options series with $1 strike prices with 

the equity options listing rules of its 

affiliated exchange, Cboe Exchange, Inc. 

(‘‘Cboe Options’’). The text of the 

proposed rule change is provided in 

Exhibit 5. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website 

(http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/ 

regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), at the 

Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, and 

on the Commission’s website at https:// 

www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/selfregulatory-organization-rulemaking/ 

national-securities-exchanges?file_

number=SR-CBOEEDGX-2025-003. 

II. 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) of the Act 3 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 4 thereunder. Because the 

foregoing proposed rule change does 

not: (i) significantly affect the protection 

of investors or the public interest; (ii) 

impose any significant burden on 

competition; or (iii) become operative 

for 30 days from the date on which it 

was filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 5 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) 6 thereunder. 

A proposed rule change filed under 

Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 7 normally does not 

become operative prior to 30 days after 

the date of the filing. However, pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),8 the Commission 

may designate a shorter time if such 

action is consistent with protection of 

investors and the public interest. The 

Exchange has asked the Commission to 

waive the 30-day operative delay so that 

the proposed rule change may become 

operative immediately upon filing. The 

Commission believes that waiving the 

30-day operative delay is consistent

with the protection of investors and the

public interest because it will allow the

Exchange to immediately amend its

rules relating to the listing of options

series with $1 strike prices, thus

harmonizing the Exchange’s rules with

those of Cboe Options and other options

exchanges, and does not introduce any

novel regulatory issues. Accordingly,

the Commission designates the

proposed rule change to be operative

upon filing.9

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. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission will institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved. 

III. 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.10
