Contract Standard:
Assignment of one Three Month Eurodollar futures contract at the exercise price. The futures delivery month associated with each option expiry month shall be:

March the following year in respect of January, February and March expiry months;

June the following year in respect of April, May and June expiry months;

September the following year in respect of July, August and September expiry months;

December the following year in respect of October, November and December expiry months.

Exercise Price Intervals:
0.125, (i.e. 0.125%) e.g. 94.00, 94.125, 94.25 etc. for the first four quarterly and all serial delivery months.

Introduction of new exercise prices:
Seventeen exercise prices will be listed for each new series. Additional exercise prices will be listed when the Three Month Eurodollar futures contract settlement price is within 0.06 of the eighth highest or lowest existing price, or as deemed necessary by the Exchange.

Option Premium:
The contract price is not paid at the time of purchase. Option positions, as with futures positions, are marked-to-market daily giving rise to positive or negative variation margin flows. If the Buyer exercises an option, the Buyer is required to pay the original contract price to the Clearing House and the Clearing House will pay the original contract price to the Seller on the following business day. Such payments will be netted against the variation margin balances of Buyer and Seller by the Clearing House.
