Eurex Daily Futures contracts on KOSPI-200 derivatives: Change of contract sizes and suspension of trading on 24 March 2017

The contract sizes of KOSPI-200 derivatives listed at Korea Exchange (KRX) will change with effect from 27 March 2017. As positions in Eurex Daily Futures contracts on KOSPI-200 derivatives (FMK2, OKS2) are only available on the next trading day at KRX, conversion of the products admitted to trading at Eurex would need to take place on 24 March 2017 already. However, in order to avoid the operational risk that would be involved with an intra-day conversion, trading in the products FMK2 and OKS2 at Eurex will be suspended on 24 March 2017.

The change in contract sizes of the Eurex Daily Futures contracts on KOSPI-200 derivatives will therefore take place with effect from 27 March 2017.

This circular provides further details regarding the following topics:

1. Adjustments in the production environment
2. Conversion in the simulation environment
3. Adjustment of Rules and Regulations
4. Adjustment of Market Maker Obligations.
