Cave:
Thanks for the inquiry.
Most options trade on one of three “cycles” – Jan, Feb, March cycles (or cycles 1,2 and 3 respectively) – and will offer the two “front months” (currently April and May) and two from one of the three cycles. SPLK trades on cycle 2 – you can tell as the next month after the front months is August. As such, when June becomes a front month, you’ll see it added. This will occur after the April expiration. So I suspect you’ll see the June expiration added after the April expiration or about April 22.
