Prior to accepting orders in an option series, BATS Options Rule 21.7.(a) requires a print from the primary listing market to be issued on the SIP. All BATS Options operated as designed and in accordance with our rules by not accepting orders in the affected underlying securities. When Nasdaq resolved their systems issues and issued prints to the SIP in the affected underlyings, BATS Options began accepting orders as expected. http://www.batsoptions.com/alerts/system/2012/#2 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:33:46 -0400 http://www.batsoptions.com/alerts/system/2012/#2 Please be advised that BATS has opened all Nasdaq listed underlyings in symbol range M-R on the BATS Options platform.

All SIP connections failed over seamlessly to the secondary path. The majority of OPRA connections failed over seamlessly, however a subset were unable to initially connect to the secondary path. The secondary path to the subset of OPRA connections was established at 15:43ET at which time BATS Options was operating normally.This connectivity issue also affected routable orders through the primary path to another market center on the BYX Exchange and BZX Exchange. These connections automatically failed over to the secondary path. Any stuck orders caught in flight were electronically cancelled.The secondary site for the BZX Exchange was also impacted as a result of this carrier connectivity issue. This resulted in market data sourced from the secondary site being unavailable from the commencement of the carrier outage on.All BATS primary site systems are operating normally.
