"The Final settlement price is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the sum of the ICE Endex Dutch TTF Gas Base Load Futures (TFM) and SparkNWE Basis on relevant Spark assessment days during the period that the expiring month is the front month.

TFM settlement price is converted from Euro to US Dollar (USD) using WM/Refinitiv Closing EUR/USD Spot Rates as published by Refinitiv at 4pm UK time on the day the settlement price was published by ICE Endex. When there is no WM/Refinitiv Closing EURUSD Spot Rate published, the next previous WM/Refinitiv Closing EURUSD Spot Rate as published by Refinitiv will be used for settlement purposes."
