The Cboe Exchange, Inc. has proposed a rule change to align its compliance rules with an exemption granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This exemption pertains to how industry members report allocation details when shares or contracts are distributed into different accounts. The updated rule will simplify reporting requirements for industry members who manage these allocations without impacting the regulatory utility of the reported data. The intent is to reduce burdens and costs for brokers by having the entity with the necessary information submit the allocation report.
Simple Explanation
The Cboe Exchange wants to make it easier for people to follow the rules about telling the SEC who gets which shares. They're changing the rules so less paperwork is needed, but the important information still gets reported.
