CBOE And C2 Plan To Launch Mini-Options On March 18 For AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, GLD And SPYLast update: 3/5/2013 1:30:00 PMCHICAGO, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- CBOE Holdings, Inc. (CBOE) announced today that Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (CBOE) and C2 Options Exchange (C2) plan to launch trading in "mini-options" that are one-tenth the size of standard options on five popular stocks and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Mini-options on Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) will begin trading on Monday, March 18. "Many retail customers hold less than 100 shares of these higher-priced stocks in their portfolios," CBOE Chairman and CEO William J. Brodsky said. "We're excited to begin offering mini-options, which will give investors the ability to hedge their positions and trade options on these stocks more economically than with standard-sized options." Mini-options contracts feature specifications identical to those of standard-sized options contracts on the above securities, except: -- Mini-options contracts represent 10 shares of the underlying security versus 100 shares for standard-sized options contracts; and -- Mini-options contracts trade under a different trading symbol than standard-sized options contracts. Mini-options carry the number "7" at the end of the security symbol. For example, the Apple mini-options symbol is AAPL7. In addition to standard monthly expiration dates, non-standard expiration dates (i.e., Weeklys options series, Quarterlys option series and LEAPS) will be eligible for mini-options trading. Plans also call for minimum price movements to be the same in both standard-sized options and mini-options, pending regulatory approval. The following Designated Primary Market Makers (DPMs) have been appointed for mini-options for CBOE (C2): -- AAPL -- Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (c2:Wolverine Trading)(c2:LLC) -- AMZN - Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp. (c2:Timber Hill)(c2:LLC) -- GOOG - Susquehanna Securities (c2:Timber Hill)(c2:LLC) -- GLD -- Citadel Securities, LLC -- SPY-- Wolverine Trading, LLC C2 did not appoint DPMs for GLD and SPY mini-options. At C2, DPMs are appointed only in equity classes that are part of the options Penny Pilot Program.
