For example, the June 2022 quarterly contracts expire on Friday, June 17, 2022. Prior to the June quarterly contract expiration, the lead month will switch from the June contract to the September contract on Sunday, June 12, 2022, for trade date Monday, June 13, 2022, as opposed to Thursday, June 9, 2022, under the existing procedure.

This change will reflect the current observed trading patterns around roll dates and align the lead month roll for the contracts with the balance of the Exchange’s U.S. Equity Products.
