I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance 
of the Proposed Rule Change

    Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``C2'') proposes to 
amend its Rules regarding complex orders. The text of the proposed rule 
change is provided in Exhibit 5.

[[Page 44441]]

    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the 
Exchange's website (https://markets.cboe.com/us/options/regulation/rule_filings/ctwo/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at 
the Commission's Public Reference 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 Exchange proposes to amend its Rules regarding complex orders. 
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to make trading available for 
complex orders in any ratio, as well as makes [sic] a clarifying change 
to the complex order rules.
    Currently, the definition of complex order in Rule 1.1 provides 
that the term ``complex order'' means any order involving the 
concurrent purchase and/or sale of two or more different series in the 
same class (the ``legs'' or ``components'' of the complex order), for 
the same account, in a ratio equal to or greater than one-to-three 
(.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00) and for the 
purposes of executing a particular investment strategy. As such, only 
complex orders with a ratio equal to or greater than one-to-three 
(.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00) may currently be 
submitted for trading on the Exchange. The proposed rule change amends 
the definition of complex order in Rule 1.1 to provide that a ``complex 
order'' is any order involving the concurrent purchase and/or sale of 
two or more different series in the same class (the ``legs'' or 
``components'' of the complex order), for the same account, in any 
ratio and for the purposes of executing a particular investment 
strategy. The Exchange notes that its affiliated options exchange, Cboe 
Options, recently amended its complex order rules in the same manner as 
proposed herein to permit complex orders with ratios less than one-to-
three and greater than three-to-one to be eligible for electronic 
processing.\3\ The Exchange proposes to accept complex orders with 
ratios larger than three-to-one or smaller than one-to-three for 
execution in order to provide execution opportunities for all complex 
orders, including those with investment strategies that do not fit 
within the three-to-one ratio requirement (which opportunities are 
afforded to those complex orders submitted to Cboe Options today).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94204 (February 9, 
2022), 87 FR 8625 (February 15, 2022) (SR-CBOE-2021-046). The Cboe 
Options' filing SR-CBOE-2021-046 also amended Cboe Option's complex 
order rules to allow the minimum increment for bids and offers on 
complex orders with any ratio to be in $0.01 or greater (legs were 
already permitted to be executed in pennies on Cboe Options). The 
Exchange notes that Rule 5.33(f)(1) currently provides that the 
minimum increment for bids and offers on a complex order is $0.01, 
and the components of a complex order may be executed in $0.01 
increments, regardless of the minimum increments otherwise 
applicable to the individual components of the complex order. As a 
result, all complex orders (including those with larger ratios as 
proposed in this filing) and their legs will be able to execute in 
pennies, and all bids and offers on all complex orders (including 
those with larger ratios, as proposed) will be able to be expressed 
in a minimum increment of $0.01.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While the proposed rule change will allow complex orders of any 
ratio to be traded on the Exchange, the Exchange does not propose to 
extend the complex order priority in Rule 5.33(f)(2) \4\ to complex 
orders with ratios equal to or greater than one-to-three and less than 
or equal to three-to-one to complex orders with larger ratios. Instead, 
the proposed rule change amends Rule 5.33(f)(2) to provide that, if a 
complex order has a ratio less than one-to-three (.333) or greater than 
three-to-one (3.00), the component(s) of the complex order for the 
leg(s) with a Customer order at the BBO must execute at a price that 
improves the price of that Customer order(s) on the Simple Book (the 
Exchange notes that this proposed rule change is described below in 
further detail). The proposed rule change also makes certain 
nonsubstantive changes to the complex priority rule. The Exchange notes 
that execution of complex orders with any ratio will continue to not be 
permitted at net prices: (i) that would cause any component of the 
complex strategy to be executed at a price of zero; (ii) worse than the 
Synthetic Best Bid or Offer (``SBBO''); (iii) that would cause any 
component of the complex strategy to be executed at a price worse than 
the individual component prices on the Simple Book; or (iv) worse than 
the price that would be available if the complex order legged into the 
Simple Book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The System does not execute a complex order pursuant to this 
Rule 5.33 at a net price (1) that would cause any component of the 
complex strategy to be executed at a price of zero; (2) worse than 
the SBBO; (3) that would cause any component of the complex strategy 
to be executed at a price worse than the individual component price 
on the Simple Book; (4) worse than the price that would be available 
if the complex order Legged into the Simple Book; or (5) ahead of 
orders on the Simple Book without improving the BBO on at least one 
component of the complex strategy by at least $0.01. The Exchange 
notes pursuant to Rule 5.33(d)(5) and (e), complex orders will 
execute against orders and quotes in the Simple Book (including 
customer orders) prior to executing against complex orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, regarding the nonsubstantive changes to Rule 
5.33(f)(2), the proposed rule change combines subparagraph (2) with (5) 
(and reformats the subparagraphs with lettering, which is consistent 
with the general format of the Exchange Rules), as the provisions are 
interlinked. Specifically, Rule 5.33(f)(2)(2) provides that the System 
does not execute a complex order pursuant to 5.33 at a net price worse 
than the SBBO. Separately, Rule 5.33(f)(2)(5) provides that the System 
does not execute a complex order pursuant to Rule 5.33 ahead of orders 
on the Simple Book without improving the BBO on at least one component 
of the complex strategy by at least $0.01--in other words, a complex 
order could only execute against complex interest by improving the SBBO 
(and thus not worse than the SBBO). Because these two provisions are 
interrelated, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to combine them 
into proposed Rule 5.33(f)(2)(D).\5\ The proposed rule change amends 
language in proposed Rule 5.33(f)(2)(D) to provide that the System does 
not execute a complex order pursuant to Rule 5.33 at a net price worse 
than the SBBO and adds subparagraph (i) to additionally provide that if 
a complex order has a ratio equal to or greater than one-to-three 
(.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00), at least one 
component of the complex order must execute at a price that improves 
the BBO for that component, which is consistent with the current rule 
and current functionality for complex orders in ratios that may 
currently be submitted on the Exchange. The proposed nonsubstantive 
rule changes to restructure Rule 5.33(f)(2) have no impact on complex 
order priority with respect to complex orders that may

[[Page 44442]]

currently execute on the Exchange and are consistent with and align the 
Exchange's complex order priority rule with the structure of Cboe 
Options Rule 5.33(f)(2)(A), which governs Cboe Options complex order 
priority.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The proposed rule change makes other nonsubstantive changes 
to the sentence structure as a result of the combination of 
provisions, as well as other nonsubstantive changes to the 
formatting and paragraph structure for added clarity and consistency 
with the structure of corresponding Cboe Options Rule 5.33(f)(2).
    \6\ See Cboe Options Rule 5.33(f)(2)(A); and see Securities 
Exchange Act Release No. 95006 (May 31, 2022), 87 FR 34334 (June 6, 
2022) (SR-CBOE-2022-024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Regarding the proposed rule change to incorporate complex orders 
with larger-ratios, as proposed, into the complex order priority 
provision, the proposed rule change adds subparagraph (ii) to Rule 
5.33(f)(2)(D), as proposed. As described above, Rule 5.33(f)(2)(D), as 
proposed, provides that the System does not execute a complex order 
pursuant to Rule 5.33 at a net price worse than the SBBO, and, as 
proposed subparagraph (ii) provides, if the complex order has a ratio 
less than one-to-three (.333) or greater than three-to-one (3.00), the 
component(s) of the complex order for the leg(s) with a Customer order 
at the BBO must execute at a price that improves the price of that 
Customer order(s) on the Simple Book. As a result, to the extent a 
complex order with a ratio of four-to-one (for example) is submitted 
for electronic execution, the complex order may be executed at a net 
debit or credit price only if each leg of the order betters the 
corresponding bid (offer) of a customer order(s) in the Simple Book. 
Therefore, the complex order priority rules will continue to protect 
Customer interest on the Simple Book. The proposed rule change 
regarding complex order priority for complex order ratios less than 
one-to-three (.333) or greater than three-to-one (3.00) is consistent 
with the corresponding complex priority rule on Cboe Options \7\ as it 
applies to complex order ratios less than one-to-three (.333) or 
greater than three-to-one (3.00) electronically submitted to Cboe 
Options, as previously approved by the Commission.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Cboe Options Rule 5.33(f)(2)(A)(iv)(b). The Exchange 
notes priority on the Exchange is slightly different than on Cboe 
Options, has the Exchange does not have the concept of priority 
customer and thus will always execute complex orders against 
interest in the Simple Book if possible prior to executing complex 
orders against other complex interest.
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94204 (February 9, 
2022), 87 FR 8625 (February 15, 2022) (SR-CBOE-2021-046). SR-CBOE-
2021-046 did not make any changes to complex orders with ratios 
equal to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal 
to three-to-one (3.00) available on Cboe Options and Cboe Options 
continues to allow trading in such complex orders with smaller 
ratios today. Likewise, the Exchange notes that this proposal does 
not make any changes to currently permissible complex order ratios 
(equal to or greater than one-to-three (.333) and less than or equal 
to three-to-one (3.00)) and such complex orders with smaller ratios 
will continue to be available for trading on the Exchange, 
consistent with Cboe Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change also updates Rule 5.33(g) to reflect that 
the System accepts for electronic processing complex orders with more 
than four legs. Current Rule 5.33(g) states that a complex order may 
execute against orders and quotes resting in the Simple Book pursuant 
to Rule 5.33(d)(5)(A)(i) and (e)(1) if it can execute in full or in a 
permissible ratio and if it has no more than a maximum number of legs 
(which the Exchange determines on a class-by-class basis and may be 
two, three or four), subject to certain restrictions, including that 
non-Customer complex orders with two option legs that are both buy or 
both sell and that are both calls or both puts may not leg into the 
Simple Book and all complex orders with three or four option legs that 
are all buy or all sell may not leg into the Simple Book. The proposed 
rule change modifies the parenthetical regarding legging restrictions 
to indicate that the maximum number the Exchange may determine on a 
class-by-class basis may be up to 16, as the Exchange's System 
currently accepts complex orders with up to that many legs for 
electronic processing.\9\ The proposed rule change makes no changes to 
which or how complex orders may leg into the Simple Book but rather 
updates this provision to reflect current functionality. This proposed 
rule change is consistent with the corresponding Cboe Options Rule 
5.33(g).\10\

specifications last updated April 20, 2022), Section 2.3.2,

    \10\ See Cboe Options Rule 5.33(g); and see Securities Exchange 
Act Release No. 95006 (May 31, 2022), 87 FR 34334 (June 6, 2022) 
(SR-CBOE-2022-024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
the 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.\11\ Specifically, the 
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
Section 6(b)(5) \12\ 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) \13\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be 
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, 
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change will 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and benefit investors, because it will provide market 
participants with execution opportunities on the Exchange for all their 
complex trading and hedging strategies, regardless of ratio. Market 
participants may determine that investment and hedging strategies with 
ratios greater than three-to-one or less than one-to-three are 
appropriate for their investment purposes, and the Exchange believes it 
will benefit market participants if they have the flexibility to submit 
their investment and hedging strategies on the Exchange to achieve 
their desired investment results. The proposed rule change will further 
remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open 
market and a national market system, as it will allow complex orders to 
be submitted on the Exchange in the same manner as complex orders may 
already be submitted on its affiliated options exchange, Cboe 
Options,\14\ which currently permits orders of any ratio to be 
submitted to the exchange, as previously approved by the 
Commission.\15\ Additionally, the proposed rule change will continue to 
protect customer order interest on the Simple Book, as all complex 
orders with a ratio greater than three-to-one or less than one-to-three 
will be executed only if each leg of the order improves the price of a 
customer order on the Simple Book on each leg. Again, as noted above, 
the proposed rule change regarding

[[Page 44443]]

complex order priority for complex order ratios less than one-to-three 
(.333) or greater than three-to-one (3.00) is consistent with the 
corresponding complex priority rule on Cboe Options as it applies to 
larger ratio orders submitted for electronic trading on Cboe 
Options.\16\ The nonsubstantive proposed rule change to restructure the 
provisions regarding complex order priority in Rule 5.33(f)(2) is 
intended to simplify the rule text regarding when legs of complex 
orders must improve prices of orders on the Simple Book, while adding 
clarity to the rule text through an update in its formatting and 
aligning such provision with the structure of Cboe Option's 
corresponding complex priority rule. This proposed rule change has no 
impact on electronic complex order priority while still increasing 
investor understanding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ The Exchange notes that its affiliated options exchange, 
Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX''), also intends to file a similar 
rule filing to allow complex orders of any ratio to be submitted on 
EDGX.
    \15\ See supra note 10. Prior to the Commission's approval of 
SR-CBOE-2022-046, larger ratio complex orders were already permitted 
to be submitted to Cboe Options' trading floor for execution in open 
outcry. The Commission's approval of SR-CBOE-2022-046 allowed larger 
ratio complex orders to be submitted for electronic trading.
    \16\ See supra note 9.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed nonsubstantive rule change to the provision regarding 
complex order legging in Rule 5.33(g) will protect investors, as it 
merely updates the provision to reflect that the System accepts for 
electronic processing complex orders with more than four legs. The 
proposed rule change makes no changes to which or how complex orders 
may leg into the Simple Book but rather updates this provision to 
reflect current functionality and align with Cboe Options corresponding 
rule.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See supra note 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange 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. The Exchange does not 
believe the proposed rule change to allow for complex orders in any 
ratio to be submitted to the Exchange will impose any burden on 
intramarket competition, as the proposed rule change will apply in the 
same manner to all Trading Permit Holders (``TPHs''). TPHs will have 
the discretion to submit complex orders with any ratio for trading on 
the Exchange. The Exchange does not believe the proposed rule change 
will impose any burden on intermarket competition as it relates to the 
execution of orders on the Exchange and will continue to protect the 
leg markets, including customer orders on the Simple Book. The Exchange 
believes the proposed rule change may promote competition, as market 
participants will have additional flexibility to execute their trading 
and hedging strategies in any ratio, and in the same manner that is 
already permitted on the Exchange's affiliated options exchange, Cboe 
Options. Also, other options exchanges are welcome to modify their 
systems to permit higher/lower ratio orders to execute electronically 
or on their trading floors.
    The proposed nonsubstantive rule change to restructure the 
provisions regarding complex order priority in Rule 5.33(f)(2) and the 
proposed nonsubstantive rule change to Rule 5.33(g) are not intended 
for competitive purposes, but rather are intended to, respectively, 
simplify and add clarity to the complex priority rule text and to 
clarify a provision, reflecting more accurately current System 
functionality. The Exchange does not believe that the proposed 
nonsubstantive rule changes will impose any burden on intramarket 
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the 
purposes of the Act, because the change will apply in the same manner 
to all investors. The proposed nonsubstantive rule changes have no 
impact on trading and thus will not change how any investors' complex 
orders are processed or executed on the Exchange. As noted above, the 
proposed rule changes make no changes to which or how complex orders 
may leg into the Simple Book. The Exchange does not believe that the 
proposed nonsubstantive rule changes will impose any burden on 
intermarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, because the proposed rule 
changes have no impact on how complex orders trade, as they merely make 
a structural update and clarifying updates.

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

    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; and (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)(iii) of the Act \18\ and 
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-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 Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \20\ normally 
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the 
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\21\ 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. The Exchange notes 
that complex orders with any ratio currently are eligible for 
electronic processing on Cboe Options, and that the proposal does not 
introduce any new or novel functionality.\22\ The Exchange states that 
waiver of the operative delay will benefit investors by providing them 
with the flexibility to submit bona-fide multi-legged trading or 
hedging strategies in any ratio to the Exchange. In addition, the 
Exchange states that waiver of the operative delay with respect to the 
proposed non-substantive rule changes to clarify and simplify rule text 
will benefit investors by providing additional transparency regarding 
the Exchange's rules as soon as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \22\ See supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay 
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. 
The Commission believes that the proposal will benefit investors by 
providing investors with an additional venue for trading complex orders 
with any ratio, including complex orders with a ratio less than one-to-
three or greater than three-to-one. As discussed above, the Commission 
approved a Cboe Options proposal allowing complex orders with any ratio 
to trade electronically and to be quoted, as well as executed, in $0.01 
increments.\23\ The Commission notes that the priority provisions in 
proposed Exchange Rule 5.33(f)(2)(D)(ii) for complex orders with a 
ratio less than one-to-three or greater than three-to-one--which 
require each component leg of such an order with a Customer order at 
the BBO to execute at a price that improves the price of the Customer 
order(s) on the Simple Book--are consistent with the requirements of

[[Page 44444]]

Cboe Options Rule 5.33(f)(2)(A)(iv)(b).\24\ Accordingly, the Exchange's 
proposal to allow market participants to submit complex orders with any 
ratio to the Exchange does not raise new or novel regulatory issues. 
The Commission believes that the proposed non-substantive changes to 
Exchange Rules 5.33(f)(2) will modify the format of that rule so that 
it is consistent with the format of Cboe Rule 5.33(f)(2), and that the 
proposed non-substantive change to Exchange Rule 5.33(g) will update 
the rule and make it consistent with Cboe Rule 5.33(g). Accordingly, 
the Commission waives the operative delay and designates the proposed 
rule change operative upon filing.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See id.
    \24\ As noted above, unlike Cboe Options, the Exchange does not 
have the concept of a priority customer. See supra note 7. The 
Exchange notes that pursuant to Exchange Rules 5.33(d)(5) and (e), 
complex orders execute against orders and quotes in the Simple Book 
(including customer orders) prior to executing against complex 
orders. See supra note 4.
    \25\ For 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 shall institute proceedings to 
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.
