Final Settlement
In respect of final settlement, the Floating Price will be a price in USD and cents per metric tonne based on the average of the mean of the high and low quotations appearing in the “Platts Asian Petrochemicalscan” weekly report under the heading “Aromatics ($/mt)” subheading “CFR Taiwan” for “PX” for each business day (as specified below) in the determination period.

NB: the Asian Petrochemicalscan is a weekly report published on a Friday that will include all the Platts daily quotations for PX CFR Taiwan assessed during that week. If Friday is a public holiday, then the Asian Petrochemicalscan weekly report will be published on the first previous business day. If the Asian Petrochemicalscan weekly report is not published (for example, during a holiday period), then the underlying Platts quotation used for final settlement calculation purposes will be that published under Platts symbol: AAQNE00.
