Equity Options: Change of Intra-Day Non-Disclosure Limits for OTC Block Trades

The Executive Board of Eurex Clearing AG decided to change the intra-day non-disclosure limits for OTC Block Trades in equity options in the context of the yearly review of these limits.
Block Trades reaching or exceeding the corresponding threshold of either 20,001, 10,001, 5,001, 2,501 or 1,001 contracts will not be disclosed by the EurexÒ system intra-day. In order to guarantee non-disclosure in such cases, each trade will be validated against the respective non-disclosure limit determined by Eurex Clearing on product level. On the following day, the entire trade volume (including trade volumes that were not disclosed intra-day) will be updated and distributed to the market.
The new non-disclosure levels for OTC Block Trades in equity options will come into effect on November 14, 2011.
