Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Notice of 
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change To Allow for Extended Trading of Multi-Listed Equity Options

March 23, 2026.
    On September 30, 2025, Cboe Exchange, Inc. filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ 
and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend Cboe Rule 
5.1(c) (Global Trading Hours) to allow for extended trading sessions of 
multi-listed equity options that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on October 3, 2025.\3\ On November 3, 2025, pursuant to Section 
19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ the Commission designated a longer period 
within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the 
proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\5\ On December 23, 
2025, the Commission instituted proceedings pursuant to Section 
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to approve or 
disapprove the proposed rule change.\7\ The Commission received one 
comment letter regarding the proposed rule change.\8\

2025), 90 FR 48091.
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104173, 90 FR 51424 
(Nov. 17, 2025). The Commission designated January 1, 2026, as the 
date by which the Commission shall approve or disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove, 
the proposed rule change.
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104509, 90 FR 61454 
(Dec. 31, 2025).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \9\ provides that, after initiating 
disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving 
or disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after 
the date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule 
change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not 
more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is 
appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination. The 
proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the 
Federal Register on October 3, 2025.\10\ April 1, 2026, is 180 days 
from that date. The Commission is extending the time period for 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60 
days. The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed 
rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed 
rule change and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the Commission, 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates May 31, 2026, 
as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove 
the proposed rule change (File No. SR-CBOE-2025-079).
