PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Index Description The ISE 250 Index tracks the top 250 U.S. stocks trading on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. The companies represented have an adjusted market capitalization of approximately $9 trillion.
 
Index Multiplier 100. The index multiplier means that the options premiums are multiplied by 100 to obtain the actual premium amount.
 
Price Interval Strike price intervals are at least $2.50.
 
Minimum Trading  
Increments		 The minimum trading increment for an options contract trading at less than $3.00 is $0.05. The minimum trading increment for an options contract trading at $3.00 or higher is $0.10.
 
Expiration Date Saturday following the third Friday of the expiration month.
 
Expiration Months Up to three near-term months followed by three additional months from the March quarterly cycle (March, June, September and December).
 
Exercise Style European. Options generally may be exercised only on the last business day before expiration.
 
Last Trading Day Trading will ordinarily cease on the business day (usually a Thursday) preceding the day on which the exercise-settlement value is calculated.
 
Settlement Type A.M., cash settlement
 
Settlement Value  
Symbol		 SUZ
 
Settlement Value The exercise-settlement value is calculated using the opening (first) reported sales price in the primary market of each component stock on the last business day (usually a Friday) before the expiration date. If a stock in the index does not open on the day in which the exercise-settlement value is determined, the last reported sales price will be used in calculating the exercise-settlement value. The exercise-settlement amount is equal to the difference between the exercise-settlement value and the exercise price of the option, multiplied by $100. Exercise will result in delivery of cash on the business day following expiration.
 
Position and Exercise  
Limits		 The position and exercise limits are 50,000 contracts on the same side of the market with no more than 30,000 of such contracts in the near-term month. An index option hedge exemption for public customers may be available for certain diversified portfolios, which may expand the position limit up to an additional 75,000 contracts. Additionally, proprietary accounts of member organizations may receive an exemption of up to 200,000 contracts for the purpose of facilitating public customers’ orders. Position and Exercise limits are subject to change.
