PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

CBOE Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017 (the “Quarterly Report”). As disclosed in the Registrant’s Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 28, 2017, the Registrant completed its acquisition of Bats Global Markets, Inc. (“Bats”) on February 28, 2017 through the merger of CBOE Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into Bats and the subsequent merger of Bats with and into CBOE V, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and as a result, Bats became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “Merger”).  Due to the complexity of certain accounting matters related to the integration of Bats’ financial information into the Registrant’s financial statements in connection with the Merger, the Registrant is unable to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 by the prescribed filing date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant expects to file the Form 10-Q within the 5-day extension period, on or before May 15, 2017.

As previously stated, the Registrant completed the Merger in the first quarter of 2017. The Merger will result in changes in the operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016.  Revenue less cost of revenue increased to $193.4 million, an increase of 35% over the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Total operating expenses increased 163% to $167.3 million.
