SSDFs: Adjustment of Contracts with Group ID IT21

The Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges took the decision to change the procedure for adjustments to futures contracts on dividends of shares (SSDFs) with Group ID IT21 (as assigned in Annex D of the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich) with effect from December 19, 2011.

The changes mainly refer to the calculation of the adjustment factor for SSDFs with Group ID IT 21, which, in the future and in line with the domestic market, will be based on the closing auction price of the share (or on the price of the last trade concluded during Continuous Trading, respectively, in case a closing auction price is not available) instead of being based on the quantity-weighted average price.

For further information, please refer to the attachment of this circular.

The exact adjustment procedure that is applied in individual cases will continue to be communicated by Eurex circular.
