BOX Exchange: Amendment To The Options Listing Procedures Plan

On August 15, 2018, BOX Exchange LLC (“BOX”) filed to amend its rules to conform to the recently approved changes to the Options Listed Procedures Plan (“OLPP”). Among other things, the rule filing: 

1. Changed the earliest date on which new January Long-term Equity Anticipation (“LEAP”) series on equity options, options on Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”), or operations on Trust Issued Receipts (“TIR”) may be added to a single date in September (from three separate months);  
2. Allows equity, ETF and TIP option series to be added based on trading after regular hours on the primary underlying market.  

BOX will implement these changes on September 17, 2018. For more information, please see SR-BOX-2018-28.
