- Option Style
Options are average priced and will be automatically exercised into
the Singapore Gasoil (Platts) Future 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. It is
not permitted to exercise the option on any other day or in any
other circumstances than the Last Trading Day. No manual exercise
is permitted.
- Option Premium / Daily Margin
The Singapore Gasoil (Platts) Average Price Option is a
premium-paid-upfront option. The traded premium will therefore be
debited by the Clearing House from the Buyer and credited to the
Seller on the morning of the Business Day following the day of
trade. Members who are long premium-paid-upfront options will
receive a Net Liquidating Value (NLV) credit to the value of the
premium which is then used to offset the initial margin requirement
flowing from both these options and positions in other energy
contracts. Members who are short premium-paid-upfront options will
receive an NLV debit in addition to their initial margin
requirement. NLV is calculated daily with reference to the
settlement price of the option.

cents per barrel equal to the final settlement price of the
Singapore Gasoil (Platts) Future for the contract month.
