Exchange Delivery Settlement Price
The EDSP is the present value, as of the delivery day at 11:00, of the notional principle amount and the notional coupons. The discounting of the cash flows is performed using discount factors constructed on the Last Trading Day, from the ICE Swap Rate SONIA fixings. The ICE Swap Rate SONIA fixings are compiled daily at 11:00 and published by ICE Benchmark Administration. Where the EDSP is not an exact multiple of 0.01, it will be rounded to the nearest 0.01, or where the EDSP is an exact uneven multiple of 0.005, to the nearest higher 0.01 (e.g. an EDSP of 134.7245 becomes 134.72)

Contract Standard

Notional Series of Cashflows
The underlying notional cash flows consist of a series of fixed notional coupons and a notional principal at maturity, calculated annually from the effective date. Should such a date fall on a non-working day, the notional cash flow date will be the next working day, following the modified business day convention. The notional principal amount always falls on the fifth anniversary of the contract effective date (or, first working day thereafter), giving each delivery month the price sensitivity of a five year swap or, equivalently, a five year bond priced off and correlated with the swap curve
