Extension and adjustment of Market-Making scheme in index options with weekly expirations („Weekly Options“)

The Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges decided to extent the Market-Making Scheme in Weekly Options on the DAX®and EURO STOXX 50®as follows:  

The existent scheme will be extended for another year from 1 January until 31 December 2013.

Within the new scheme,weekly expirations within one month will be regarded separately for the qualification for revenue sharing and Market-Making rebates. Previously, fulfilment of quote obligations in all products (i.e. ODX1, ODX2, ODX4 and ODX5) was necessary in order to participate in the incentives.

Quote obligations and Market-Making rebates will remain unchanged.

The revenue sharing will be 15 percent, whereby up to 5 Market Makers can profit from this. The revenue sharing is split amongst the Market Makers according to their orderbook activity.
