N.B. Footnotes and contracts with revised thresholds appearing in this table for the first time are shown in bold.

1 There are nine bands: 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 & 20,000 lots. Each contract is assigned to one of these bands depending on the price of the underlying security and lot size of the futures contract. (N.B. It is not intended that a change in the underlying security price will automatically lead to a change in the threshold for a particular futures contract.)
