Option Style
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
