In respect of final settlement, the EDSP Rate will be an interest rate expressed in percent, based on the monthly average SONIA rate for the delivery month. Where the EDSP Rate is not an exact multiple of 0.0001, it will be rounded to the nearest 0.0001 or, where the EDSP Rate is an exact uneven multiple of 0.00005, to the nearest lower 0.0001. EDSP shall be determined as 100 minus the EDSP Rate, determined as described above.

Additional Information
The contracts have a standardised basis point value so that, for hedging purposes, a calculation will need to be made in relation to the hedge ratio to take into account any mismatch between the standardized basis point value and the actual basis point value of the position being hedged, determined by the actual number of days in the accrual period.
