Commodity Index Derivatives: modification of incentive scheme, adjustment of contract months and new technical set-up of the option on the Dow Jones-UBS Index

The Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges and the Executive Board of Eurex Clearing AG decided to replace the existing revenue sharing scheme in futures on the Dow Jones-UBS indices by a volume-based rebate model. At the same time, the Dow Jones-UBS option will be newly set up in the Eurex® system for technical reasons. Available contract months for futures and options will be harmonised. As a result of this adjustment, the Dow Jones UBS option will not be available for trading for a few days.

The volume-based rebate model will run from February 1, 2012 until December 31, 2013.

The changes to the contract months will come into effect on February 1, 2012 (futures) and February 9, 2012 (option), respectively.
