CBOE Announces First Phases of Migration to BATS Technology Platform

CBOE Holdings, Inc. announced that the CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE) will be the first of the CBOE Holdings exchanges to migrate onto the BATS technology platform, with an expected switch-over on Sunday, February 25, 2018. The migration of the C2 and CBOE Options Exchanges will follow, with those dates to be announced later. All CBOE and BATS exchanges will continue to operate normally throughout the migration process, and the CBOE trading floor will remain open to serve CBOE's options market. Beginning in July, CFE trading privilege holders (TPHs) may begin requesting new connectivity, and in September, basic connectivity testing will begin.  Throughout the fourth quarter of 2017 and into the first quarter of 2018, customers will be given testing opportunities to ensure preparedness for CFE's planned switch-over on February 25, 2018.
