Commenters who opposed the proposal to narrow the options market maker exception stated that the
proposed amendments would disrupt the markets because they would not provide sufficient flexibility to permit
efficient hedging by options market makers, would unnecessarily increase risks and costs to hedge, and would
adversely impact liquidity and result in higher costs to customers.37 These commenters stated that they believe the
proposed amendments would likely discourage options market makers from making markets in illiquid securities
since the risk associated in maintaining the hedges in these option positions would be too great.38 Moreover, these
commenters claimed that the reluctance of options market makers to make markets in threshold securities would
result in wider spreads in such securities to account for the increased costs of hedging, to the detriment of
investors.39
