C2 Initiative |
9 Overview of C2 CBOE is working with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) towards the approval of a new options exchange (C2) CBOE has secured a data facility site in the New York area and begun the capital investments and development work necessary to launch C2 in 2009, if approved by the SEC C2 will be a fully electronic options marketplace capable of eventually listing and trading all CBOE products Initial product listings will likely be limited to multiply listed products. C2 will be a wholly owned subsidiary of CBOE, but will have its own board, rules and systems architecture utilizing the CBOEdirect trading platform |
10 C2 Drivers CBOE currently competes with six other marketplaces Two exchange holding companies, NYSE Euronext and NASDAQ OMX Group, own and operate multiple markets NYSE Euronext has both the NYSE/ARCA options market and the American Stock Exchange NASDAQ OMX has both the NASDAQ Options Market (NOM) and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Both NYSE and NASDAQ are able to run two different option market models via their subsidiary exchanges, allowing them to appeal to nearly all segments of the options customer spectrum C2 will allow CBOE to be prepared for an industry where multiple, competing market models coexist and draw volume from different customer groups |
11 C2 Next Steps CBOE will be discussing C2 with its members and member firms over the next several months to determine the most advantageous market structure The proposed rules allow for significant flexibility of market models SEC approval, if granted, is not expected before 2Q09 All CBOE members will have access to C2 Having a second exchange license and separate system will allow CBOE greatly expanded capability to design a new marketplace to increase the overall amount of business done at CBOE exchanges |

Demutualization Update |
19 Status of the Proposed Settlement Several parties have raised objections to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement filed in the Exercise Right Litigation The objections relate to the definition of the settlement class and to the criteria that must be satisfied in order for a person to become a participating settlement class member Following a court hearing on 9/29/08 regarding the objections, the parties agreed to two Amendments to the Stipulation of Settlement The Amendments changed the: Group A class member qualification date from 6/2/08 to 8/22/08 Group A and Group B class member eligibility date from 10/6/08 to 10/14/08 Group A class member holding period from 10/14/08 12/16/08 to 10/14/08 10/31/08 |
20 Status of the Proposed Settlement Neither of these Amendments represents a material change to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement from the perspective of CBOE or its members The Court has not changed the date of the final settlement hearing December 16, 2008 If the Delaware court approves the settlement between 12/16/08 and 12/31/08, and there are no appeals, the settlement will be final in January 2009 (30 days after court approval) CBOE would then seek to proceed with a demutualization vote in the spring of 2009 If the settlement is not approved or if there are appeals, the demutualization process will be delayed |
21 The Demutualization Plan The S-4 document is posted on the CBOE website and we encourage all CBOE members to read it carefully Updates to the document are ongoing as the legal matters progress and CBOE financials are updated When the settlement has received final approval and CBOE has updated the S-4 with the requisite financial reports and other updates, we will proceed with a demutualization vote Demutualization will require the approval of a majority of those eligible to vote, which includes all voting CBOE members and Temporary Members, but not Interim Trading Permit holders It remains the intention of the Board that CBOE should assume access at the time of demutualization Under the settlement, no statement of intention with respect to dividends can be made until after final approval of the settlement and no dividend can be declared until after demutualization The new CBOE Holdings, Inc. and post-demutualization CBOE Boards of Directors will be named and presented in the final S-4 |
22 The Future following Demutualization Demutualization will allow CBOE to: Pursue an initial public offering (IPO), or Enter into a transaction or merger with another entity, or Remain a for-profit demutualized company The chosen course will be that which provides the greatest value to CBOE owners As a general estimate, an IPO could likely be accomplished 3-6 months following a demutualization, market conditions and SEC approval permitting A merger transaction would take considerably longer to complete, given the additional necessary approvals required If CBOE were to remain a for-profit demutualized company for some period of time, the question of dividends can be promptly addressed |
