CBOE Holdings Average Revenue per Contract
The following represents average revenue per contract (RPC) based on a three-month rolling average, reported on a one-month lag. The average revenue per contract represents total transaction fees for CBOE, C2 and CFE recognized for the period divided by total contracts traded during the period. Average transaction fees per contract can be affected by various factors, including exchange fee rates, volume-based discounts and transaction mix by contract type and product type.

Second-Quarter 2016 RPC Guidance
The company currently expects RPC by product category for the second quarter of 2016 to be in line with the amounts noted below for the two-months ended May 31, 2016, except for futures.  The RPC for futures is currently expected to be 2 to 4 percent lower, due to higher volume rebates expected in June resulting from the sharp increase in VIX futures trading. These expectations are estimated, preliminary and may change.  There can be no assurance that our final RPC for the three-months June 30, 2016 will not differ materially from these expectations.
