3. Details of the initiatives
A. Pricing model modification for Single Stock Dividend Futures
The pricing model for Single Stock Dividend Futures includes staggered transaction fees, which differ based on the expected dividends for the underlying stock at the reference date. The current structure of three dividend tiers in euro-denominated Single Stock Dividend Futures will be enhanced to five tiers to further support trading by a more granular fee structure in line with the expected dividend level.
The current and new tiers structures are shown in detail in the tables contained in Attachment 1.
As of the effective date, the updated Price List of Eurex Clearing AG will be published on the Eurex Clearing website www.eurexclearing.com under the following link:

The fee classification for each individual Single Stock Dividend Future for the period from 1 September 2019 until 31 August 2020 is based on the expected dividend amount for the underlying stock in the next calendar year on the reference date (31 July 2019) and is as outlined in Attachment 3.
If a successor product to a Single Stock Dividend Future is admitted to trading due to a corporate action in the underlying stock, the transaction fee level of the preceding product will also apply to the successor product.
