UPDATE: Equity options: Adjustment of contract specifications for selected European equity options (Group IDs: XX11, XX12 and XX13)

The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland decided to adjust the contract specifications for selected equity options by changing the matching algorithm to a pro-rata allocation (from the current price-time allocation) and introducing a premium-based tick size with predefined thresholds, in the following order:

  • For French and Belgian equity options (Group IDs: FR/BE11, FR/BE12 and FR/BE13), effective on 17 December 2018;
  • German equity options (Group IDs: DE11, DE12 and DE13), effective on 18 January 2019;
  • Swiss and Austrian equity options (Group IDs: CH11, CH/AT12 and CH13), effective on 11 February 2019 (previously: 8 February 2019).

This circular contains all information on the proposed changes and the updated sections of the relevant Rules and Regulations of Eurex Deutschland.
