Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting
Accelerated Approval of a Proposed
Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1, To Amend
Exchange Rule 5.34(b) Related to Price
Protections and Risk Controls for
Complex Orders
October 5, 2022.

I. Introduction
On August 4, 2022, Cboe Exchange,
Inc. (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘Cboe Options’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange
Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a
proposed rule change to amend
Exchange Rule 5.34(b) to revise the
definition of butterfly spread and to
adopt a new buy strategy price check
that will reject or cancel vertical or
butterfly spread orders to buy that have
a price of zero and are not designated
as either Immediate-or-Cancel (‘‘IOC’’)
or Direct to PAR.3 The proposed rule
change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on August 23,
2022.4 On September 14, 2022, the
1 15

U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.
3 Under the Exchange’s rules, an Immediate-orCancel or IOC order is a limit order that must
execute in whole or in part as soon as the System
receives it; the System cancels and does not post
to the Book an IOC order (or unexecuted portion)
not executed immediately on the Exchange or
another options exchange. Users may designate
bulk messages as IOC. A User may not designate an
IOC order as Direct to PAR. A Direct to PAR order
is an order a User designates to be routed directly
to a specified PAR workstation for manual
handling. A User must designate a Direct to PAR
order as RTH Only. See Exchange Rule 5.6(b).
4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 95520
(August 17, 2022), 87 FR 51723 (‘‘Notice’’).

5 Amendment No. 1 revises the proposal to (1)
correct an error in the description section of the
Form 19b–4 by stating that the component legs of
a butterfly spread order have different strike prices;
(2) provide additional explanation by stating that,
in rare circumstances, market participants may seek
to sell a vertical or butterfly spread at a price of zero
to liquidate a position; (3) state that the proposal
continues to provide execution opportunities for
vertical and butterfly spread buy orders priced at
zero through the IOC instruction or manual
handling, while preventing these orders from
overwhelming the Complex Order Book (‘‘COB’’);
(4) state that the proposed price check does not
extend to zero-priced vertical or butterfly spread
sell orders, which will continue to be permitted to
rest on the COB; (5) correct an error in the
description section of the Form 19b–4 by stating
that between January and July 2022, only 1.3% of
the approximately 177 million zero-priced vertical
and butterfly spread contracts (rather than orders)
of the approximately 6.5 million orders submitted
to rest in the COB, were filled; and (6) state that
zero-bid vertical or butterfly spread orders may be
submitted as part of a paired order as a cross on
the trading floor or to a Complex Automated
Improvement Mechanism (‘‘C–AIM’’) auction.
Amendment No. 1 makes no changes to Exhibit 5
of the proposal. Amendment No. 1 is available on
the Commission’s website at https://www.sec.gov/
comments/sr-cboe-2022-041/srcboe2022041.htm.
6 For purposes of Exchange Rule 5.34(b), 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,
except as set forth in Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(3)(A).
See Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(1)(A). As discussed
below, Exchange Rule 5.34(b)(1)(B), as proposed to
be amended, defines a butterfly spread as a threelegged 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. The System
considers a true butterfly and a skewed butterfly to
be a butterfly spread. If the exercise price of the
middle leg is the average of the exercise prices of
the other legs, it is a ‘‘true’’ butterfly; and if the
exercise price of the middle leg is less in-the-money
