CIRCULAR 180-17 December 14, 2017 POSITION LIMITS STOCK AND TRUST UNIT OPTIONS EXCHANGE TRADED FUND UNIT OPTIONS SECTOR INDEX OPTIONS INDEX OPTIONS CURRENCY OPTIONS Please be advised that the position limits for all stock and trust unit options, exchange traded fund unit options, sector index options, index options and currency options listed at Bourse de Montréal Inc. (the Bourse) are outlined in the attached list. These position limits are applicable to the aggregated option positions on the same side of the market relating to the same underlying interest (whether long or short) in accordance to article 6651 of the Rules of the Bourse. These new limits are effective as of the open of the next business day. Position limits for stock and trust unit options and Exchange Traded Fund unit options are established and published on a quarterly basis by the Bourse based on the number of shares or units outstanding and the most recent six-month trading volume of the underlying security, in accordance with article 6651 of the Rules of the Bourse. It is important to note that for any account, subparagraph D) 2 of article 6651 of the Rules of the Bourse allows to hold, for each class of options, an additional quantity of contracts not exceeding the position limit established by the Bourse for this class when such account holds either one of the hedge positions defined in subparagraphs D) 1.a) to D) 1.d) of this article. This effectively means that when options contracts are used for hedging purposes, position limits are doubled. Although it is not necessary to ask for any authorization from the Bourse to take advantage of this provision, approved participants and their clients who decide to use it must be able, upon request, to demonstrate their hedge position to the Bourse. For cases where the above-mentioned increased position limit is insufficient or where the combination used for hedging purposes is different from those that are defined in the above-mentioned subparagraphs, approved participants and their clients can take advantage of the provisions of paragraph E) of article 6651 of the Rules and of Policy C-1 of the Bourse in order to ask, on behalf of a bona fide hedger, for an exemption from the position limits set by the Bourse.

It must also be noted that article 6653 of the Rules of the Bourse provides that position limits can be adjusted following a stock split or a share consolidation of the securities underlying an option contract. In accordance with article 14102 of the Rules of the Bourse, we remind you that each approved participant must file daily with the Bourse, in the prescribed manner, no later than 9:00 a.m. (ET) on the business day following the one for which the positions must be reported, a report detailing all gross positions held for its own account or for an account or group of accounts which are all owned by the same beneficial owner in derivative instruments listed on the Bourse when these gross positions exceed the reporting thresholds prescribed by the Bourse. As per article 14102 sub-article 6) paragraph A all approved participants must report positions in excess of 250 contracts in the case of stock and trust unit options, 500 contracts in the case of Exchange Traded Fund unit options and currency options, 15,000 contracts in the case of index options and 1,000 contracts in the case of sector index options.
