The Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges decided to reduce the strike price intervals for selected sector index options as follows:
1. In future, strike prices for options on the EURO STOXX® Banks Index (OESB) and STOXX® Europe 600 Banks Index (OSTB) will be displayed with one decimal place (previously without decimal place). The extension of decimal places will be carried out in the batch run on 27 June 2013 effective Friday, 28 June 2013.
2. With the batch run on 28 June 2013 and effective Monday, 1 July 2013, the following strike price adjustment will be carried out: For the three next expiration months from currently 5.0 points to 2.5 points, for the three succeeding expiration months (up to a term of twelve months) from currently 10.0 to 5.0 points, for terms of 13 to 24 months from currently 20.00 points to 10.00 points and for terms of more than 24 months from currently 50.0 points to 20.0 points.
The strike price interval for Permanent Market-Making and Advanced Market-Making (PMM and AMM) in options on the EURO STOXX® Banks Index and on the STOXX® Europe 600 Banks Index will remain unchanged at five out of seven strike prices, i.e. it will move closer to the at-the-money point.
