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

    The Exchange proposes to amend current price protections related to 
complex orders. The text of the proposed rule change is provided below 
(additions are italicized; deletions are [bracketed]).
* * * * *

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated Rules

* * * * *

Rule 6.53C. Complex Orders on the Hybrid System

    (a)-(d) No change.
    . . . Interpretations and Policies:
    .01-.07 No change.
    .08 Price Check Parameters: On a class-by-class basis, the Exchange 
may determine (and announce to the Trading Permit Holders via 
Regulatory Circular) which of the following price check parameters will 
apply to eligible complex orders. Paragraph (b) will not be applicable 
to stock-option orders.
    For purposes of this Interpretation and Policy .08:
    Vertical Spread. A ``vertical'' spread is a two-legged complex 
order with one leg to buy a number of calls (puts) and one leg to sell 
the same number of calls (puts) with the same expiration date but 
different exercise prices.
    Butterfly Spread. A ``butterfly'' spread is a three-legged complex 
order with two legs to buy (sell) the same number of calls (puts) and 
one leg to sell (buy) twice as many calls (puts), all with the same 
expiration date but different exercise prices, and the exercise price 
of the middle leg is between the exercise prices of the other legs. If 
the exercise price of the middle leg is halfway between the exercise 
prices of the other legs, it is a ``true'' butterfly; otherwise, it is 
a ``skewed'' butterfly.
    Box Spread. A ``box'' spread is a four-legged complex order with 
one leg to buy calls and one leg to sell puts with one strike price, 
and one leg to sell calls and one leg to buy puts with another strike 
price, all of which have the same expiration date and are for the same 
number of contracts.
    To the extent a price check parameter is applicable, the Exchange 
will not automatically execute an eligible complex order that is:
    (a)-(b) No change.
    (c) Debit/Credit Price Reasonability Checks:
    (1)-(5) No change.
    (6) This check does not apply to multi-class spreads or to orders 
routed from a PAR workstation or order management terminal.
    (d) No change.
    (e) Acceptable Percentage Range Parameter:
    (i) An incoming complex order (including a stock-option order) 
after the series for all legs of the complex order are open for trading 
that is marketable and would execute immediately upon submission to the 
COB or following a COA if the execution would be at a price outside an 
acceptable percentage range. The ``acceptable percentage range'' is the 
national spread market (or Exchange spread market if the NBBO in any 
leg is locked, crossed or unavailable and for pairs of orders submitted 
to AIM or SAM) that existed when the System received the order or at 
the start of the COA, as applicable, plus/minus:
    (A) the amount equal to a percentage (which may not be less than %) 
of the national spread market (the ``percentage

[[Page 18321]]

amount'') if that amount is not less than a minimum amount or greater 
than a maximum amount (the Exchange will determine the percentage and 
minimum and maximum amounts on a class-by-class basis and announce them 
to Trading Permit Holders by Regulatory Circular);
    (B) the minimum amount, if the percentage amount is less than the 
minimum amount; or
    (C) the maximum amount, if the percentage amount is greater than 
the maximum amount.
    (ii) The System cancels an order (or any remaining size after 
partial execution of the order) that would execute or rest in the COB 
at a price outside the acceptable price range.
    (iii) If the System rejects either order in a pair of orders 
submitted to AIM or SAM pursuant to this parameter, then the System 
also cancels the paired order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with 
respect to an AIM Retained (``A:AIR'') order as defined in 
Interpretation and Policy .09 to Rule 6.74A, if the System rejects the 
Agency Order pursuant to this check, then the System also rejects the 
contra-side order; however, if the System rejects the contra-side order 
pursuant to this check, the System still accepts the Agency Order if it 
satisfies the check. [To the extent a contra-side order or response is 
marketable against the Agency Order, the execution price will be capped 
at the opposite side of the acceptable price range.]
    (iv) This parameter applies to auction responses in the same manner 
as it does orders.
    (f)-(g) No change.
    .09-.12 No change.

    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the 
Exchange's Web site (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), 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 debit/credit price reasonability 
check and acceptable percentage range parameter for complex orders.
Debit/Credit Price Reasonability Check
    In general, pursuant to the debit/credit price reasonability check 
in Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(c), the System rejects a 
limit complex order for a debit strategy with a net credit price, a 
limit complex order for a credit strategy with a net debit price, or a 
market order for a credit strategy that would be executed at a net 
debit price.\5\ Currently, the check applies to orders routed from a 
PAR workstation or order management terminal (``OMT''). The proposed 
change amends Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(c)(6) to 
provide the check will not apply to orders routed from a PAR 
workstation or OMT. These orders are subject to manual handling, so the 
PAR or OMT operator will have evaluated the price of an order based on 
then-existing market conditions prior to submitting the order for 
electronic execution, and thus there is minimal risk of execution at an 
erroneous price. Other price protections similarly do not apply to 
these orders.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(c). The System 
determines whether an order is a debit or credit strategy as set 
forth in that Rule.
    \6\ See, e.g., Rule 6.12(a)(3) and (4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acceptable Percentage Range Parameter
    In general, pursuant to the acceptable percentage range parameter 
in Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(e), the System cancels an 
incoming order that is marketable and would execute immediately upon 
submission to the complex order book (``COB'') or following a COA if 
the execution would be at a price outside an acceptable percentage 
range, which is the national spread market that existed when the System 
received the order or at the start of COA, as applicable, plus/minus:
     The amount equal to a percentage (which may not be less 
than 3%) of the national spread market (the ``percentage amount'') if 
that amount is not less than a minimum amount or greater than a maximum 
amount (the Exchange will determine the percentage and minimum and 
maximum amounts and announce them to Trading Permit Holders by 
Regulatory Circular);
     the minimum amount, if the percentage amount is less than 
the minimum amount; or
     the maximum amount, if the percentage amount is greater 
than the maximum amount.
    First, the proposed rule change amends Rule 6.53C, Interpretation 
and Policy .08(e)(i)(A) to provide the Exchange may determine the 
percentage and the minimum and maximum amounts on a class-by-class 
basis. Currently, the rule states the percentage and minimum and 
maximum amounts will be the same for all classes. Because of class 
differences such as the minimum increment and option prices, the 
Exchange believes it may be appropriate to set different amounts so the 
outside of the range is not too close or too far away from the market 
price for a class and ensure the range creates an effective check for 
all classes. Therefore, the proposed rule change adds this flexibility 
to the Rule. Other price protections have similar flexibility.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, the proposed rule change adds Rule 6.53C, Interpretation 
and Policy .08(e)(iv) to provide this parameter will apply to auction 
responses in the same manner as it does orders. The current parameter 
does not apply to auction responses. As noted in a recent rule filing 
enhancing this parameter, even if the parameter does not apply to 
auction responses, this protection will prevent an order from executing 
outside the acceptable price range (including against an auction 
response), and thus responses will not execute against an order outside 
the acceptable price range.\8\ However, cancelling an auction response 
prior to the end of an auction that would execute outside the 
acceptable price range may give the submitting Trading Permit Holder an 
opportunity to submit a new response within the acceptable price range 
prior to the end of the auction, and thus increase execution 
opportunities. Therefore, the proposed rule change applies this 
parameter to auction response. An auction response at a price outside 
the acceptable price range will not execute regardless of whether this 
parameter applies to the auction response; applying the parameter to 
auction responses merely changes the timing of when the response is 
cancelled.\9\ Other price

[[Page 18322]]

protections similarly apply to auction responses.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-80181 (March 8, 
2017), 82 FR 13678, note 26 (March 14, 2017) (SR-CBOE-2017-016).
    \9\ Paragraph (e)(iii) currently states to the extent a contra-
side order or response is marketable against the Agency Order, the 
execution price will be capped at the opposite side of the 
acceptable price range. The proposed rule change deletes this rule 
language, as it is redundant. The price protection will, as 
proposed, cancel orders and responses (or remaining size after 
partial execution) that would execute outside the acceptable price 
range. There [sic] is effectively the same as capping an execute 
[sic] price no wider than the acceptable price range, as no order or 
response will be able to execute at a price outside the range.
    \10\ See, e.g., Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with 
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the proposed rule change to 
not apply the debit/credit price reasonability check to orders routed 
from a PAR workstation or OMT would remove impediments to and perfect 
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, 
as those orders were subject to manual handling by a PAR or OMT 
operator who will have evaluated the price of an order based on then-
existing market condition [sic] prior to submitted [sic] it for 
electronic execution, thus minimizing risk of an erroneous execution 
and reducing the need for application of the additional reasonability 
check. Other price protections similarly do not apply to these 
orders.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Rule 6.12(a)(3) and (4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change to provide the Exchange with flexibility 
to determine settings for the acceptable percentage range parameter on 
a class-by-class manner will permit the Exchange to ensure the range is 
not too close or too far away from the market price for a class based 
on factors such as minimum increment and premium, and thus ensure the 
range creates an effective check for all classes. This will protect 
investors from potentially erroneous executions while removing 
impediments to and perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market 
and a national market system by ensuring orders are not inadvertently 
cancelled due to a range that is too narrow. Other price protections 
have similar flexibility.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change to apply the acceptable percentage range 
parameter to auction responses merely changes the time at which 
responses outside the acceptable price range is cancelled. However, 
application of the acceptable percentage range parameter to auction 
responses may permit the submitting Trading Permit Holder to enter a 
new auction response at a price within the range prior to the end of 
the auction, which improves execution opportunities and thus protects 
investors. Other price protections similarly apply to auction 
responses.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See, e.g., Rule 6.53C, Interpretation and Policy .08(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate in 
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will 
apply to all complex orders submitted to CBOE in the same manner. The 
enhancements to the price protection mechanisms applicable to all 
incoming orders will help further prevent potentially erroneous 
executions, which benefits all market participants. Additionally, the 
proposed rule change is substantially similar to other price 
protections.\17\ The proposed rule change will not impose any burden on 
intermarket competition, as it applies only to CBOE price protection 
mechanisms that prevent erroneous executions on CBOE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See, e.g., Rules 6.12(a)(3) and (4) and Rule 6.53C, 
Interpretation and Policy .08(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written 
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a 
brief description and the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i) 
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the 
protection of investors; or (iii) 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 change should be approved or disapproved.
