ASX participants and users are advised that ASX intends to list 6 new ETO Classes for trading on Thursday 9 December 2021.

Please be aware that the new ETO Classes will not have special size allocated initially. The trial of no special size on new ETOs was previously communicated by market notice 0555.21.04.

The new ETO Classes will be reviewed every 3 months and those ETO Classes which meet ASX’s liquidity requirement will have Special Size crossing levels re-introduced. ETO crossings can still occur on the new ETO Classes but will need to be conducted on screen as opposed to a trade report whilst Special Size is not available.

Susquehanna and Mako have agreed to be market makers in the new ETO Classes which are listed below with corresponding requirements.
