value, remains constant at that value through the middle
of the range length and then decreases linearly to zero as
the value of the underlying continues to increase to the
top of the range length. A more detailed description of
this feature of range options is set forth below under the
caption "Cash Settlement Amount and Exercise Settle-
ment Value." Range options are of a single type rather
than consisting of puts and calls.
The second paragraph under the caption "Unit of
Trading; Contract Size" on page 8 of the Booklet is
replaced with the following paragraph:
The contract size of a cash-settled option other than
a binary option or a range option is determined by the
multiplier that is fixed by the options market on which the
options series is traded. The multiplier determines the
aggregate value of each point of the difference between
the exercise price of the option and the exercise settle-
ment value of the underlying interest. For example, a
multiplier of 100 means that for each point by which a
cash-settled option is in the money upon exercise, there
is a $100 increase in the cash settlement amount. Simi-
larly, if an option with a multiplier of 100 is trading at a
premium of, say, $4, then the aggregate premium for a
single option contract would be $400. The contract size
of a range option is determined by the option's multiplier
and its maximum range exercise value. The contract size
of a binary option is its cash settlement amount, which is
fixed by the options market for any series of binary
options at or before the opening of trading in that series.
Some options markets define the cash settlement
amount for binary options as being the multiplier times a
fixed settlement value. Other options markets define the
cash settlement amount for binary options without refer-
ence to a multiplier.
The penultimate paragraph on page 9 of the Booklet
is replaced with the following paragraph:
CASH SETTLEMENT AMOUNT, SETTLEMENT
CURRENCY and EXERCISE SETTLEMENT VALUE —
The cash settlement amount is the amount of cash that
the holder of a cash-settled option is entitled to receive
upon exercise. In the case of a cash-settled option other
than a binary option or a range option, it is the amount by
which the exercise settlement value of the underlying
interest of a cash-settled call exceeds the exercise price.
or the amount by which the exercise price of a
cash-settled put exceeds the exercise settlement value of
the underlying interest, multiplied by the multiplier for the
option.
