CHICAGO, Dec. 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc.
(Cboe: CBOE), a leading provider of global market infrastructure
and tradable products, announced that options on the Cboe
Volatility Index (VIX) will trade electronic-only today. The
transition to electronic-only trading for VIX options is the result
of the temporary closure of the VIX pit on the Cboe trading floor
due to water damage sustained from a burst pipe above the trading
floor. The Cboe trading floor will be open and available for all
other Cboe Options Exchange products.

As a result of the temporary pit closure, Cboe Volatility Index
options (VIX and VIXW) will be available for trading
electronic-only, with no open outcry trading, for at least
today. The exchange intends to implement contingency plans to
relocate the VIX trading pit to an alternate space on the trading
floor so that VIX and VIXW options may re-open for floor trading on
Wednesday, December 28, alongside
electronic trading. An update on the status of the planned VIX pit
re-open will be provided later in the day today.
All other products and areas of the Cboe trading floor,
including the S&P 500 Index (SPX and SPXW), Russell 2000 Index
(RUT), SPDR ETF (SPY), and all equity options trading crowd spaces
are not impacted and will be available for both their regular
electronic and open outcry trading. The Cboe Options Exchange is a
hybrid market combining open outcry floor trading with electronic
trading.
For additional information and updates, please refer to Cboe
Options Exchange System Status Notices on the Cboe website.
