Adjustment of Futures and Options contracts in AIAENG

 In pursuance of Byelaws of NSCCL pertaining to Clearing and Settlement of deals, SEBI circular reference SMDRP/DC/CIR-8/01 dated June 21, 2001, NSE Circular no. NSCC/F&O/C&S/883 dated September 10, 2008 (download reference no CMPT/11276) and circular number NSE/F&O/099/2008 dated September 24, 2008 members are hereby informed the procedure for adjustment of Futures and Option contracts in the underlying security Aia Engineering Limited (AIAENG), on account of ‘Face Value Split of shares from Rs.10 per share to Rs.2 per share’.

 The ‘adjustment factor’ for the corporate action shall be ‘5’ and the ex-date for the corporate action shall be October 13, 2008. The following action would be taken by NSCCL in this regard. 

1 Action by the Clearing Corporation in respect of Futures Contracts:

All open positions in Futures contracts with the underlying security as AIAENG existing after End of day on October 10, 2008 will be adjusted as under:

Positions: The adjusted positions shall be arrived at by multiplying the old positions by the ‘adjustment factor’ which is 5.

Futures Price: The adjusted futures price would be based on the Settlement price of the relevant futures contracts on October 10, 2008. Adjusted futures price shall be settlement price of relevant futures contracts on October 10, 2008 divided by ‘adjustment factor’. 

Adjusted value: In order to avoid difference arising due to rounding off of adjusted settlement price, the carry forward/adjusted value shall be computed by multiplying pre adjusted futures long/short quantity with pre adjusted settlement price. Accordingly, all positions in futures contracts with the underlying security as AIAENG would be marked-to-market on October 10, 2008 based on the daily settlement price of the respective futures contract. Further, the adjusted positions would be carried forward at the adjusted value.

From October 13, 2008, daily mark to market settlement of futures contracts with the underlying security as AIAENG would continue as per normal procedures.

Begin of day margins on October 13, 2008 would be computed for the futures contract with underlying as AIAENG based on the adjusted carry forward value. Subsequently, intra-day margins would be computed based on the relevant traded prices at the time the intra-day span risk parameter files are generated.

An example of adjustment of futures contract is detailed hereunder:
