Options are European style and will be automatically exercised on
the expiry day if they are “in the money”. The future
resulting from exercise immediately goes to cash settlement
relieving market participants of the need to concern themselves
with liquidation or exercise issues. If an option is “out of
the money” it will expire automatically.
- Expiry
The Daily EU-Style Brent Option will be exercised into the cash
value of the settlement of the front-month Brent Futures contract.
On expiry day, automatic exercise settings are pre-set to exercise
call and put option contracts that are one minimum price
fluctuation or more in-the-money and call option contracts which
are at-the-money with reference to the corresponding daily
settlement price at the designated settlement time as determined by
the Exchange. At-the-money put options will be abandoned.
- Strike Price Intervals
A minimum of 10 Strike Prices in increments of $0.50 per bbl above

are adjusted according to futures price movements. User-defined
Strike Prices are allowed in $0.01 increments.
