ASX to introduce TLX and ZIP Exchange Traded Option (ETO) Classes for trading on Monday 2 September 2024.
ASX participants and users are advised that ASX will list 2 new Exchange Traded Option (ETO) Classes for trading on Monday 2 September 2024. The new ETOs will cover Telix Pharmaceuticals (TLX) and ZIP Co (ZIP).
As is current policy the new ETO Classes will not have special size allocated initially.
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.
Please refer to the below table for market making coverage in the new ETO Classes.
