Options are average priced and will be automatically exercised into
the Marine Fuel 0.5% FOB Singapore (Platts) vs 380 CST Singapore
(Platts) Future on the expiry day if they are "in the money". The
Future resulting from exercise immediately goes to cash settlement
relieving market participants of the need to concern themselves
with liquidation or exercise issues. If an option is "out of the
money" it will expire automatically. It is not permitted to
exercise the option on any other day or in any other circumstances
than the Last Trading Day. No manual exercise is permitted.
- Option Premium / Daily Margin
The Marine Fuel 0.5% FOB Singapore (Platts) vs 380 CST Singapore
(Platts) Average Price Option is a premium-paid-upfront option. The
traded premium will therefore be debited by the Clearing House from
the Buyer and credited to the Seller on the morning of the Business
Day following the day of trade. Members who are long
premium-paid-upfront options will receive a Net Liquidating Value
(NLV) credit to the value of the premium which is then used to
offset the initial margin requirement flowing from both these
options and positions in other energy contracts. Members who are
short premium-paid-upfront options will receive an NLV debit in
addition to their initial margin requirement. NLV is calculated
daily with reference to the settlement price of the option.
