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/106/2008 dated October 03, 2008 members are hereby informed
the procedure for adjustment of Futures and Option contracts in the underlying
security Shipping Corporation of India Limited (SCI), on account of bonus issue
in the ratio of 1:2.
The
‘adjustment factor’ for the corporate action shall be ‘1.50’ and the ex-date
for the corporate action shall be October 29, 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 SCI existing after End of day on October 28, 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 1.50.
Futures Price: The adjusted futures price would
be based on the Settlement price of the relevant futures contracts on October 28,
2008. Adjusted futures price shall be settlement price of relevant futures
contracts on October 28, 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 SCI would be
marked-to-market on October 28, 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 29, 2008, daily mark to market
settlement of futures contracts with the underlying security as SCI would
continue as per normal procedures.
Begin of day margins on October 29, 2008 would
be computed for the futures contract with underlying as SCI 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
