Release No. 34-69809; File No. SR-MIAX-2013-30

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to $0.50 and $1 Strike Price Intervals for Classes in the Short Term Option Series Program

June 20, 2013.

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 June 13, 2013, Miami International Securities Exchange LLC (``MIAX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed rule change as described in Items I and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange is filing a proposal to amend Exchange Rule 404, Series of Option Contracts Open for Trading, by adopting Interpretations and Policies .09 to the rule to describe the manner of expiration and the strike price intervals of options series included in the Exchange's $1 Strike Price Interval Program, and by modifying Interpretations and Policies .02(e) to the rule to describe strike price intervals for options series that are included in the Exchange's Short Term Option Series Program.\3\

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange may open for trading on any Thursday or Friday that is a business day ``Short Term Option Opening Date'') series of options on that class that expire at the close of business on each of the next consecutive Fridays that are business days (``Short Term Option Series'' or ``STOS'').

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/filter/wotitle/rule_filing, at MIAX's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

  2. 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.

    1. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

      1. Purpose

        The Exchange proposes to adopt Interpretations and Policies .09 to Exchange Rule 404 to state that, notwithstanding any other provision regarding strike prices in the rule, Related non-STOS \4\ shall be opened on the Thursday or Friday prior to the expiration week that such Related non-STOS (such as, for example, series with standard monthly or quarterly expirations) expire in the same manner as permitted in Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02, and in the same strike price intervals for the STOS permitted in Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02(e).

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \4\ Proposed Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02(e) defines a ``Related non-Short Term Option'' as a non-Short Term Option series that is included in a class that has been selected to participate in the Short Term Option Series Program.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange further proposes to amend Interpretations and Policies .02(e) to Exchange Rule 404 to provide that the strike price interval for STOS may be $0.50 or greater for option classes that trade in $1 strike price intervals and are in the STOS Program. If the class does not trade in $1 strike price intervals, the strike price interval for STOS may be $0.50 or greater where the strike price is less than $75 and $1.00 or greater where the strike price is between $75 and $150, and the same as strike prices for series in that same option class that expire in accordance with the normal monthly expiration cycle for strike prices greater than $150. Notwithstanding any other provision regarding strike prices in the rule, Related non-Short Term Option series shall be opened on the Thursday or Friday prior to the expiration week that such Related non-Short Term Option series expire in the same manner as permitted in Rule 404, Commentary .02, and in the same strike price intervals for the STOS permitted in this sic Rule 404, Commentary .02 (e).

        This is a competitive filing that is based on recent filings by the International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE''), NASDAQ OMX PHLX, LLC (``PHLX'') and NYSE MKT LLC (``NYSE MKT'').\5\ The ISE, PHLX and NYSE MKT filings made changes to the strike price interval setting parameter rules for their respective STOS Programs. STOS options are not listed to expire during the same week as non-Short Term Option series. As a result, ISE, PHLX and NYSE MKT amended their rules to permit non-Short Term Option series to have the same strike price interval setting parameters for STOS during the

        Page 38417

        week that non-Short Term Option series expire.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 67754 (August 29, 2012), 77 FR 54629 (September 5, 2012) (Order approving SR-ISE-2012-

        33) (``ISE filing''); 69633 (May 23, 2012), 78 FR 32498 (May 30, 2013) (SR-Phlx-2013-55) (``PHLX filing''); 68074 (October 19, 2012), 77 FR 65241 (October 25, 2012) (SR-CBOE-2012-92); and 68193 (November 8, 2012), 77 FR 68177 (November 15, 2012) (Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of SR-NYSEMKT-2012-53).

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        ISE and PHLX also both amended the strike price interval setting parameters for their STOS Programs, but the revisions to their respective rules differ. Specifically, ISE permits $0.50 strike price intervals for Weekly \6\ options for option classes that trade in one dollar increments and are in the STOS Program.\7\ PHLX permits $0.50 strike price intervals when the strike price is below $75, and $1 strike price intervals when the strike price is between $75 and $150, or $0.50 for classes that trade in one dollar increments in Related non-Short Term Options and that participate in the STOS Program. PHLX also provides that related non-Weekly option series may be opened during the week prior to expiration week pursuant to the same strike price interval parameters that exist for Weekly options. Thus a related non-Weekly option may be opened in Weekly option strike price intervals on a Thursday or a Friday that is a business day before the non-Weekly option expiration week.\8\ If PHLX is not open for business on the respective Thursday or Friday, however, the non-Weekly option may be opened in Weekly option intervals on the first business day immediately prior to that respective Thursday or Friday.\9\

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \6\ Short Term Options Series (``STOS'') are also known as ``Weekly options'' or ``weeklies'' and trade as such under the various exchanges' respective STOS Programs. For all practical purposes, the terms STOS, Weekly options, and weeklies are interchangeable.

        \7\ The permissible $0.50 strike price intervals may only be opened on the Weekly option Opening Date that expire on the Weekly option Expiration date and no additional series, including additional series of the related non-Weekly option, may be opened during expiration week in classes that are listed pursuant to ISE rules.

        \8\ This opening timing is consistent with the principle that the Exchange may add new series of options until two business days prior to expiration. See Exchange Rule 404(e).

        \9\ On the Exchange, the STOS opening process is set forth in MIAX Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02: After an option class has been approved for listing and trading on the Exchange, the Exchange may open for trading on any Thursday or Friday that is a business day (``Short Term Option Opening Date'') series of options on that class that expire at the close of business on each of the next consecutive Fridays that are business days (``Short Term Option Expiration Dates''). If the Exchange is not open for business on the respective Thursday or Friday, the Short Term Option Opening Date will be the first business day immediately prior to that respective Thursday or Friday. Similarly, if the Exchange is not open for business on the Friday of the following business week, the Short Term Option Expiration Date will be the first business day immediately prior to that Friday.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange proposes herein to adopt rules that are in effect on NYSE MKT in order to remain competitive regarding strike price interval setting parameters. The Exchange notes that while it believes that there is substantial overlap between the two strike price interval setting parameters, the Exchange believes there are gaps that would enable PHLX to initiate a series that ISE would not be able to initiate and vice versa sic.\10\ Since uniformity is not required for the STOS Programs that have been adopted by the various options exchanges, the Exchange proposes to revise its strike price intervals setting parameters so that it has the ability to initiate strike prices in the same manner (i.e., intervals) as both ISE and PHLX, and thus in the same manner currently in place on NYSE MKT. Accordingly, just as with NYSE MKT, the Exchange proposes to adopt aspects of both the ISE rule text language and the PHLX rule text language approved by the Commission.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \10\ The Exchange and the majority, if not all, of the other options exchanges that have adopted a STOS Program have a similar rule that permits the listing of series that are opened by other exchanges, consistent with the Options Listing Procedures Plan (``OLPP''). See Exchange Rule 404A(b)(6). This filing is concerned with the ability to initiate series. For example, if a class is selected to participate in the STOS Program and non-STOS options on that class do not trade in dollar increments, the Exchange believes that PHLX would be permitted to initiate $0.50 strikes on that class and ISE would not. Similarly, the strike price interval for exchange-traded fund (``ETF'') options is generally $1 or greater where the strike price is $200 or less.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The STOS Program is codified in Interpretations and Policies .02 to Exchange Rule 404. The rule states that after an option class has been approved for listing and trading on the Exchange, the Exchange may open for trading, on any Thursday or Friday that is a business day, series of options on no more than twenty-five option classes that expire on the Friday of the following business week that is a business day. In addition to the twenty-five option class limitation, there is also a limitation that no more than twenty series for each expiration date in those classes may be initially opened for trading.\11\ Furthermore, the strike price of each STOS has to be fixed with approximately the same number of strike prices being opened above and below the value of the underlying security at about the time that the short term options are initially opened for trading on the Exchange, and with strike prices being within thirty percent (30%) above or below the closing price of the underlying security from the preceding day. The Exchange does not propose any changes to the current program limitations. The Exchange proposes only to specify that STOS can have interval prices of $0.50 and $1, as proposed under Interpretations and Policies .02(e) to Rule 404.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \11\ However, if the Exchange opens twenty (20) short term options for a Short Term Option Expiration Date, up to 10 additional series may be opened for trading on the Exchange when the Exchange deems it necessary to maintain an orderly market, to meet customer demand or when the market price of the underlying security moves substantially from the exercise price or prices of the series already opened. Any additional strike prices listed by the Exchange shall be within thirty percent (30%) above or below the current price of the underlying security. The Exchange may also open additional strike prices of STOS that are more than 30% above or below the current price of the underlying security provided that demonstrated customer interest exists for such series, as expressed by institutional, corporate or individual customers or their brokers (market-makers trading for their own account shall not be considered when determining customer interest under this provision).

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The principal reason for the proposed interval pricing structure is market demand for weekly options. There is continuing strong customer demand for having the ability to execute hedging and trading strategies effectively via STOS, particularly in the current fast, multi-faceted trading and investing environment that extends across numerous markets and platforms.\12\ The Exchange has observed increased demand for STOS classes and/or series, particularly when market moving events such as significant market volatility, corporate events, or when large market, sector, or individual issue price swings have occurred. The STOS Program is one of the most popular and quickly expanding options expiration programs.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \12\ These include, without limitation, options, equities, futures, derivatives, indexes, exchange traded funds, exchange traded notes, currencies, and over-the-counter instruments.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange believes that the benefits of the ability to trade STOS at $0.50 and $1 intervals at lower price levels cannot be underestimated. The proposed intervals would clearly allow traders and investors, and in particular public (retail) investors to more effectively and with greater precision consummate trading and hedging strategies on the Exchange. The Exchange believes that this precision is increasingly necessary, and in fact crucial, as traders and investors engage in trading and hedging strategies across various investment platforms (e.g., equity and ETF, index, derivatives, futures, foreign currency, and even commodities products); particularly when many of these platforms enjoy substantially smaller strike price differentiations (e.g., as low as $0.05).\13\

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \13\ As an example, per the CME Web site, strike prices for options on futures may be at an interval of $.05, $.10, and $.25 per specified parameters. See http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equityindex/files/EQUITY_FLEX_Options.pdf (options on S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 contracts) and http://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/files/S_5734_x11-0518x Change in Listing Rules for Goldx Silverx Copper Options.pdf (options on metals contracts).

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Page 38418

        Weekly options have characteristics that are attractive for certain trading and hedging strategies. Thus, weeklies may be attractive for retail trading strategies that could benefit from the inherent accelerated time decay of weekly options, such as selling (buying) vertical or calendar spreads. And weeklies may be particularly attractive instruments for short-term institutional hedging needs (e.g., sudden price movements against large option positions during expiration week; maintenance or adjustment of complex option positions) as well as for retail hedging needs (e.g., preceding large earnings plays). In every case, trading and hedging is more effective when it can be closely tailored. The current wider STOS price intervals have negatively impacted investors and traders, particularly retail public customers, who have on several occasions requested the Exchange to list series with finer, narrower STOS intervals. The proposal would fix this.

        The following is an example of how inadequately narrow STOS intervals negatively impact trading and hedging opportunities. If an investor needs to purchase an STOS call option in CSCO (03/26/12 closing price $20.84), the current $1 strike interval would offer less opportunity and choice for an investor seeking to keep cash expenditures low. For example, an investor wishing to buy an in-the-

        money call option for less than a $2.50 investment per call purchase has only two strike prices that meet his criteria from which to choose: The 19 strike and the 20 strike. Such call options with five days until expiration might offer ``ask prices'' (option premiums) of $1.75 and $.75. However, if CSCO had $0.50 strike prices as proposed, the same investor would have a selection of March 18.50, 19.00, 19.50, 20.00, and the 20.50 strike call options that may have options premiums from approximately $2.25 down to approximately $.25. This expanded range of strikes, and commensurate option premiums, offers far more choice and a considerably lower cost of entry to the investor, thereby garnering the investor more than a 66% options premium savings. Lower intervals increase effective liquidity by offering investors and traders more price points at which they may execute trading and hedging strategies.\14\ This allows investors and traders the ability to more effectively execute their strategies at lower cost. Clearly, more efficient pricing is advantageous to all market participants, from retail to institutional investors. The changes proposed by the Exchange should allow execution of more trading and hedging strategies on the Exchange. The Exchange notes that in conformance with Exchange Rules, the Exchange shall not list $0.50 or $1 strike price intervals on Related non-STOS options within two (2) days of expiration. For example, if a Related non-STOS in an options class is set to expire on Friday, September 21, the Exchange could begin to trade $0.50 strike price intervals surrounding that Related non-STOS on Thursday, September 13, but no later than Friday September 14.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \14\ Moreover, lower strike intervals provide additional price points for liquidity providers. This allows the liquidity providers to improve theoretical pricing as well as hedging capabilities, thereby enabling them to increase the size and quality of their markets.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange proposes to list the expiring Related non-STOS on the Thursday or Friday prior to expiration week, so that investors can close a position in an expiring STOS and open a position at the same strike price in a Related non-STOS. The listing of the $0.50 or $1 strike price intervals for expiring Related non-STOS on the Thursday or Friday prior to expiration week is intended to be consistent with the ``overlap'' of STOS today, which facilitates investors desiring to ``roll'' a position from one STOS expiration to another. If the $0.50 or $1 interval strikes are not available until the opening on Monday of expiration week, an investor who had a position in the prior week's $0.50 or $1 interval STOS could not close a position in the expiring STOS and open a position at the same strike in the Related non-STOS.

        Furthermore, the inadequate price intervals for STOS, particularly at the lower price levels proposed by the Exchange, may discourage retail and other customers from executing STOS orders when they could be the most advantageous for effective execution of trading and hedging strategies on regulated and transparent exchanges. The Exchange feels that it is essential that such negative, potentially costly and time-

        consuming impacts on retail investors are eliminated by offering tighter intervals within the STOS Program. The changes proposed by the Exchange should allow execution of more trading and hedging strategies on the Exchange.\15\

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \15\ In addition, there is a competitive impact. First, the proposal would enable the Exchange to provide market participants with an opportunity to execute their strategies (e.g., complex option spreads) wholly on their preferred market, namely the Exchange. Second, the proposal would diminish the potential for foregone market opportunities on the Exchange caused by the need to use a more advantageous (that is, interval-precise) platform than STOs currently allow.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange also proposes that Related non-STOS shall be opened on the Thursday or Friday prior to the expiration week that such Related non-STOS expire in the same manner as permitted in Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02, and in the same strike price intervals for the STOS permitted in Rule 404, Interpretations and Policies .02(e). The Exchange proposes to make this change to ensure conformity between STOS options and Related non-STOS options that are in the same options class (e.g., weekly and monthly SPY options). The Exchange believes that not having such a conforming change would be counter-productive and not beneficial for trading and hedging purposes.\16\

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \16\ Moreover, the Exchange notes that STOS options are not listed and traded during the expiration week of the Related non-STOS options. During this week, the non-STOS options are materially and financially equivalent to the STOS options. The proposed change would allow traders and hedgers to have the noted benefits of the STOS Program during each week in a month.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        The Exchange believes that the STOS Program has provided investors with greater trading opportunities and flexibility and the ability to more closely tailor their investment and risk management strategies and decisions. Furthermore, the Exchange has had to reject trading requests because of the limitations imposed by the Program. For these reasons, the Exchange requests a modification of the strike price intervals in the Program and the opportunity to provide investors with better weekly option choices for investment, trading, and risk management purposes.

        With regard to the impact of this proposal on system capacity, the Exchange has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority (``OPRA'') have the necessary systems capacity to handle any potential additional traffic associated with this current amendment to the STOS Program. The Exchange believes that its members will not have a capacity issue as a result of this proposal. The Exchange represents that it will monitor the trading volume associated with the additional options series listed as a result of this proposal and the effect (if any) of these additional series on market fragmentation and on the capacity of the Exchange's automated systems.

      2. Statutory Basis

        MIAX believes that its proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \17\ in general, and furthers the

        Page 38419

        objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \18\ in particular, in that it is 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 facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that providing strike prices of $.50 and $1 intervals in STOS eligible classes will result in a continuing benefit to investors by giving them more flexibility to closely tailor their investment decisions and hedging decisions in a greater number of securities. The Exchange also believes that providing the same strike price intervals for options classes that are in the STOS Program and for the Related non-STOS options just prior to and during expiration week will provide the investing public and other market participants with additional opportunities to hedge their investment, thus allowing these investors to better manage their risk exposure. In addition, the Exchange believes that the proposal will ensure conformity between STOS options and Related non-STOS options that are in the same options class. The Exchange believes that allowing the listing of expiring Related non-

        STOS on the Thursday or Friday prior to expiration week will help facilitate the ability of investors and other market participants to close a position in an expiring STOS and open a position at the same strike price in a Related non-STOS in a manner that is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade. While the expansion of the STOS Program will generate additional quote traffic, the Exchange does not believe that this increased traffic will become unmanageable since the proposal remains limited to a fixed number of classes.

        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. 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 not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. In this regard and as indicated above, the Exchange notes that the rule change is being proposed as a competitive response to existing rules on other exchanges. The Exchange believes this proposed rule change is necessary to permit fair competition among the options exchanges with respect to their short term options programs.

    3. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

      Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

  3. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does not 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 \19\ and Rule 19b-

    4(f)(6) thereunder.\20\

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).

    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's 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.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative delay will allow MIAX to initiate strikes prices in more granular intervals for STOs in the same manner as other options exchanges, and permit, during the expiration week of a Related non-

    Short Term option, a Related non-Short Term Option on a class that is selected to participate in the Short Term Options Series Program to have the strike price interval setting parameters as STOs. In sum, the proposed rule change presents no novel issues, and waiver will allow the Exchange to remain competitive with other exchanges. Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon filing.\21\

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has 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.
