November 2016

Attached please find the updated Foreign Listed Stock Index Futures and Options Approvals Chart, current as of November 2016. All prior versions are superseded and should be discarded. Please note the following developments since we last distributed the Approvals Chart:

(1) The CFTC has approved for trading by U.S. Persons the Taiwan Futures Exchange's futures contract based on the Nifty 50 Index.

(2) The Taiwan Futures Exchange has announced that its futures contract based on the Taiwan Futures Exchange Electronic Sector Index is now deemed a narrow-based index and therefore may only be offered and sold to U.S. persons in compliance with the applicable requirements of both the SEC and the CFTC. See note 22.

For Additional Information

The information on the attached Approvals Chart is subject to change at any time. If you have questions or would like confirmation of the status of a specific contract, please contact:

____________________________

NOTE: This Chart covers those products and exchanges that are likely to be of greatest interest to market participants in the United States. It is not, therefore, intended to be exhaustive, and is presented without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Transmission or receipt of this information does not create an attorney-client relationship with Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, and the information herein should not be used or relied upon in regard to any particular facts or circumstances without first consulting a lawyer. The United States government administers and enforces sanctions programs and other trade restrictions that may restrict the ability of U.S. persons to engage in financial transactions with specified persons, entities, governments and/or non-state actors (and persons or enterprises associated therewith). These may include, but are not limited to, prohibitions on buying or selling securities, commodities or derivative instruments from or to, or issued by, or through transactions arranged or intermediated by, persons or entities located in or otherwise connected with various non-U.S. jurisdictions included in this Chart. This Chart does not address the potential applicability of such sanctions programs or trade restrictions. This Chart also does not express any opinion as to the potential application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States. Questions regarding the permissibility of trading in products that are not included in this Chart should be addressed to James D. Van De Graaff at +1.312.902.5227, Kevin M. Foley at +1.312.902.5372, Gary A. DeWaal at +1.212.940.6558 or Christian B. Hennion at +1.312.902.5521.

"Eligible U.S. Institution": As used in this Chart, in accordance with SEC no-action letters, the term "Eligible U.S. Institution" means, in general, a U.S. Person that (1) is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, and (2) has had prior actual experience in trading U.S.-listed options contracts. For information regarding working definitions of "U.S. Person" as that term is used in this Chart, please contact Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP.

"Eligible Option": As used in this Chart, in accordance with SEC no-action letters, the term "Eligible Option" means an index option or option on an individual security traded on a Foreign Options Market that is not fungible or interchangeable with options traded on any market other than the Foreign Options Market and, accordingly, each position in an Eligible Option issued by a clearing member of the Foreign Options Market can be closed out only on the Foreign Options Market. A "Foreign Options Market" means a non-U.S. derivatives market: (1) on which Eligible Options trade; and (2) that is an organized exchange operated and regulated outside the United States. See LIFFE A&M and Class Relief, SEC No-Action Letter (Jul. 1, 2013) available here. ____________________________ 1 [Reserved]

2 The CFTC No-Action Letter also applies to BM&F Bovespa's "Ibovespa Rollover" and "Forward Points on the Ibovespa" transactions.

3 The index is included in the CFTC's and SEC's joint order dated May 31, 2002, extending the exclusion of such index from the definition of "narrow-based security index" under the Commodity Exchange Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 beyond its expiration date of July 11, 2002 (the Joint Order). Foreign futures contracts or options on futures contracts on "narrow-based securities indexes" may not be offered or sold to U.S. Persons without the CFTC and SEC first developing joint regulations, which has not yet been done. Accordingly, the Joint Order effectively allows the stock index futures contracts and options on futures contracts that are based on the security indexes included in the Joint Order, which were granted no-action relief by the CFTC prior to the enactment of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) on December 21, 2000, to continue to be offered and sold to U.S. Persons after July 11, 2002, the date that the exclusion set forth in the CFMA was to expire.

4 In 2014, LIFFE's equity and equity index option contracts were migrated to ICE Futures Europe. See ICE Futures Europe Circular 14/146. ICE Futures Europe claimed class relief under the LIFFE A&M and Class Relief SEC No-Action Letter (Jul. 1, 2013) for Foreign Options Markets engaging in familiarization activities with Eligible U.S. Institutions with respect to Eligible Options. See ICE Futures Europe Class No-Action Relief Letter. Subject to certain conditions, ICE Futures Europe members can effect transactions in Eligible Options through trading infrastructure offered by ICE Futures Europe. See ICE Futures Europe Circular 14/138; ICE Futures Europe Class No-Action Relief Letter. ICE Futures Europe maintains a list of Eligible Options, which includes: (1) individual equity options based on the securities of non-U.S. issuers; and (2) index options based on indices that contain no component securities of U.S. issuers. The list of Eligible Options is available in an Excel spreadsheet titled "List of Contract Details for Equity Products" here.

5 Pursuant to the December 1, 2015 Representation Letter from Eurex to the SEC, Eligible U.S Institutions may trade options on individual Austrian-, Belgian-, Finnish-, French-, German-, British-, Irish-, Italian-, Dutch-, Russian-, Spanish-, Swedish- and Swiss-issued equities.

6 Eurex offers a KOSPI product that Eurex describes as a daily futures contract that expires every night, with any net open positions at the end of trading resulting in the establishment of a corresponding position in the Korean Exchange's KOSPI 200 Options (with strike prices, expiries, put/call and premiums) at the start of the next trading session on the Korean Exchange.

7 Pursuant to Eurex Circular 281/11, the STOXX Europe 600 Personal & Household Goods futures contract is no longer tradable on Eurex trading terminals in the United States. The previously issued No-Action Letter approving such product for sale to U.S. Persons (February 6, 2008 CFTC No-Action Letter issued to Eurex) has not been withdrawn.

8 Pursuant to Eurex Circular 260/11, the Euro STOXX Banks futures contract is no longer offered or distributed in the United States. See also Eurex Circular 281/11.

9 Additional restrictions apply to the trading of these products by U.S. Persons.

10 [Reserved]

11 The SEC also has approved for Eligible U.S. Institutions all options on individual Swedish-, Norwegian- and Danish-issued equities where those options are now or in the future listed on the EDX London exchange. Options on equities issued in any other country have not been approved at this time for trading by U.S. Persons on the EDX London Exchange. Note: EDX London Exchange has been acquired by the Turquoise Exchange.

12 The RDX USD Index futures contracts have not been approved for sale to U.S. Persons. The CFTC approved a similar Eurex contract (RDXxt USD RDX Extended Index futures contract) for sale to U.S. Persons in a no-action letter issued on March 6, 2008, but Eurex subsequently delisted the contract.

13 The Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) is now part of the Borsa Istanbul (BIST). As such, references to ISE 30 have been changed to BIST 30 on VIOP's trading platform and the CFTC's website.

45

14 The London Stock Exchange offers options on depositary receipts on Russian equity products through its International Order Book, which are approved for trading by Eligible U.S. Institutions pursuant to the London Stock Exchange's representation letter dated November 12, 2014 to the SEC. The list of eligible options may be accessed here. Eligible U.S. Institutions may also trade certain of these options through trading infrastructure offered by ICE Futures Europe, provided all applicable conditions are met. See Footnote 4.

15 ICE Futures Europe listed the following non-U.S. stock exchanges in its claim for class relief: Borsa Italiana, Copenhagen Stock Exchange, Deutsche Boerse, Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon, Euronext Paris, Helsinki Stock Exchange, Irish Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange International Order Book, Madrid Stock Exchange, Oslo Stock Exchange, SIX Swiss Exchange, Stockholm Stock Exchange and Vienna Stock Exchange.

16 This exchange has claimed relief under LIFFE A&M and Class Relief SEC No-Action Letter (Jul. 1, 2013) for Foreign Options Markets engaging in familiarization activities with Eligible U.S. Institutions with respect to Eligible Options.

20 Eurex no longer relies on the relief provided in SEC staff's no-action letter dated July 27, 2005. As such, U.S. Persons are prohibited from trading options listed on Eurex that were included in the July 27, 2005 no-action relief but not otherwise included in subsequent no-action relief, including options on the Dow Jones Global Titans 50 index and various ETF products.

21 The MSCI Europe Net Total Return (Euro-denominated) Index futures contracts has been approved for sale to U.S. Persons. The CFTC approved a similar MSCI contract (MSCI Euro) for sale to U.S. Persons in a no-action letter issued on April 6, 2000, but ICE Futures Europe subsequently delisted the contract.

22 Unless otherwise indicated, a futures contract on an ETF that tracks the same index is not approved for sale to U.S. Persons. 23 The futures contract on the Taiwan Futures Exchange Electronic Sector Index previously had been approved for sale to U.S. persons pursuant to a May 16, 2005 CFTC No-Action Letter issued to

the Taiwan Futures Exchange. On September 30, 2016, the Taiwan Futures Exchange issued a notice providing that, as of October 1, 2016, the index shall be deemed a narrow-based index and therefore may only be offered and sold to U.S. persons in compliance with the applicable requirements of both the SEC and the CFTC.
