08660L 20 6
POSITION AND EXERCISE Position and exercise limits will remain unchanged at 250,000 contracts LIMITS: CDCC will not adjust any outstanding escrow receipts.
The Bourse - adjustment details: It is important to note that on the effective date mentioned above, all open orders on this option class will not be automatically modified to reflect the reverse split and will therefore have to be re-entered into the Montreal Automated System (SAM) by the approved participants. The existing series of HVU options class will be transferred to the HVU2 options class representing the new deliverable. Please note that only closing transactions will be permitted on the adjusted class. Actual series that do not have open interest will not be adjusted.
Numerical Example For a member holding a long put strike $4.00 position and considering that HVU Fund’s closing price on January 12, 2018 is $2.97, the intrinsic value of the option prior to the adjustment is: Intrinsic Value = $4.00 x 100 - $2.97 x 100 = $103.00
After the adjustment, the intrinsic value of the option will be: Intrinsic Value = Strike Price x Multiplier – New Underlying Price x New Deliverable = $20.00 x 20 - $14.85 x (100/5) = $103.00
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL CLIENTS WHO HAVE EITHER LONG OR SHORT POSITIONS IN THIS OPTION CLASS ARE ADVISED OF THIS NOTICE. For further information, please contact Market Operations Department at (514) 871-7877. Clearing members may contact the CDCC Member Services Department.
