- Option Style
Options are average priced and will be automatically exercised into
the Low Sulphur Gasoil 1st Line Micro Future (GNT) 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 Low Sulphur Gasoil 1st Line Micro 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
19:30 London 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 metric
tonne equal to the average of the settlement prices of the Low
Sulphur Gasoil 1st Line Micro 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.

A minimum of 10 Strike Prices in increments of $0.25 per metric
