TFX's Final Settlement Price:
Subject to TFX Rules, TFX will calculate their Final Settlement Price using the Zenginkyo TIBOR for three month Yen deposits at 11.00 (Tokyo time) on the TFX Last Trading Day. The settlement price will be 100.00 minus the Zenginkyo TIBOR rounded to three decimal places (if the fourth decimal is a 5 then the rate is rounded up e.g. a Z-TIBOR rate of 0.8115 becomes 0.812).
Contract Standard:
Under normal circumstances, the Euronext.liffe contract will be transferred to TFX, and the resultant TFX contract will be cash settled at TFX’s Final Settlement Price. In exceptional circumstances, where the position has been retained in London, TFX’s Final Settlement Price will be used. If it is not available, the Euronext.liffe contract will be cash settled at Euronext.liffe’s Exchange Delivery Settlement Price.
