CHICAGO, June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets,
Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), one of the world's largest exchange holding
companies, today announced it plans to postpone the reopening of
its Cboe Options Exchange (C1) trading floor in Chicago until Monday,
June 15, 2020.
The floor reopening was previously scheduled for
Monday, June 8, 2020. The decision to
postpone the reopening is in light of closures across the city of
Chicago and limited access to the
area surrounding the Cboe building. Cboe is continuing to monitor
the situation closely.
Trading on C1, Cboe's hybrid open outcry and electronic
exchange, has been available in an electronic-only trading mode

reopening, C1 will revert to its hybrid trading mode.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. You can identify
these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "might,"
"should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"predict," "potential" or "continue," and the negative of these
terms and other comparable terminology. All statements that reflect
our expectations, assumptions or projections about the future other
than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include
projections of our future financial performance based on our growth
strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements
are only predictions based on our current expectations and
projections about future events. There are important factors that
could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time,
and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor
can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements.
Some factors that could cause actual results to differ
include: the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic,
including changes to trading behavior broadly in the market as well
as due to the temporary suspension of open outcry trading in
response to COVID-19; the loss of our right to exclusively list and
trade certain index options and futures products; economic,
political and market conditions; compliance with legal and
regulatory obligations; price competition and consolidation in our
industry; decreases in trading volumes, market data fees or a shift
in the mix of products traded on our exchanges; legislative or
regulatory changes; our ability to protect our systems and
communication networks from security risks, cybersecurity risks,
insider threats and unauthorized disclosure of confidential
information; increasing competition by foreign and domestic
entities; our dependence on and exposure to risk from third
parties; fluctuations to currency exchange rates; our index
providers' ability to maintain the quality and integrity of their
indexes and to perform under our agreements; our ability to operate
our business without violating the intellectual property rights of
others and the costs associated with protecting our intellectual
property rights; our ability to attract and retain skilled
management and other personnel; our ability to accommodate trading
volume and transaction traffic, including significant increases,
without failure or degradation of performance of our systems;
misconduct by those who use our markets or our products; challenges
to our use of open source software code; our ability to meet our
compliance obligations, including managing potential conflicts
between our regulatory responsibilities and our for-profit status;
damage to our reputation; the ability of our compliance and risk
management methods to effectively monitor and manage our risks; our
ability to manage our growth and strategic acquisitions or
alliances effectively; restrictions imposed by our debt
obligations; our ability to maintain an investment grade credit
rating; impairment of our goodwill, long-lived assets, investments
or intangible assets; and the accuracy of our estimates and
expectations. More detailed information about factors that may
affect our actual results to differ may be found in our filings
with the SEC, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019 and
other filings made from time to time with the SEC.
We do not undertake, and we expressly disclaim, any duty to
update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof.
