Options are average priced and will be automatically exercised into
the Singapore Mogas 92 Unleaded (Platts) vs Brent 1st Line 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 Singapore Mogas 92 Unleaded (Platts) vs Brent 1st Line Average
Price Options are premium-paid-upfront options. 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.
- Expiry
16:30 Singapore Time.
Automatic exercise settings are pre-set to exercise contracts which
are one minimum price fluctuation or more "in the money" with
reference to the relevant reference price. Members cannot override
automatic exercise settings or manually enter exercise instructions
for this contract.
The reference price will be a price in USD and cents per barrel
equal to the Final Settlement Price of the Singapore Mogas 92
Unleaded (Platts) vs Brent 1st Line Future for the contract month.
When exercised against, the Clearing House, at its discretion,
selects sellers against which to exercise on a pro-rata basis.
