level of the underlying index or reference index, the panel
may adjust the terms of the affected index option contracts
by adjusting the index multiplier and/or exercise price with
respect to such contracts or by taking such other action as
the panel deems fair to both the holders and writers of such
contracts.
If the option market on which an option series is traded
should increase or decrease the index multiplier for any
Index option contract, or the reporting authority should
change the method of calculation of an underlying index or
reference index so as to create a discontinuity or change in
the level of the index that does not reflect a change in the
prices or values of the index components, or a successor
Index (as defined in the paragraph below) should be
substituted for an underlying Index or reference index, the
adjustment panel may make such adjustments in the
number of outstanding affected options or the exercise
prices of such options or such other adjustments. if any, as
the panel deems fair to both the holders and the writers of
such options.
The adjustment panel may substitute another index (a
successor index) for an underlying index or reference index
in the event the panel determines that: (i) publication of the
underlying index or reference index has been discontinued;
(ii) the underlying Index or reference index has been
replaced by another index: or (iii) the composition or method
of calculation of an underlying index or reference index is so
materially changed since its selection as an underlying index
or reference index that it is deemed to be a different index. A
successor index will be reasonably comparable to the
original underlying index or reference index for which it
substitutes. An index may be created specifically for the
purpose of becoming a successor index.
The adjustment panel's determinations shall be
conclusive, binding on all investors, and not subject to
review.
