Published Date: 9/30/2025
Notice
Summary
The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) wants to change how it handles a special cash payment in its risk checks, especially if a big participant defaults. This affects financial firms that rely on OCC’s safety nets and could impact how risks are managed but doesn’t involve new costs right now. The SEC is taking extra time to review this rule change carefully, pushing the decision past the original October 30, 2025 deadline.
