converted from Pound Sterling (GBP) to United State dollar (USD)
using the WM/Refinitiv Closing GBPUSD Spot Rates as published by
Refinitiv at 4 pm UK time on the day the settlement price was
published by the Exchange. When there is no WM/Refinitiv Closing
GBPUSD Spot Rate published, the next previous WM/Refinitiv Closing
GBPUSD Spot Rate as published by Refinitiv will be used for
settlement purposes.
