Contract Specifications
Settlement
Physical delivery of underlying shares two exchange days after exercise.
Term
Up to 12 months: The three nearest successive calendar months and the three following quarterly months of the March, June, September and December cycle thereafter.
Up to 24 months: The three nearest successive calendar months, the three following quarterly months of the March, June, September and December cycle thereafter, and the two following semi-annual months of the June and December cycle thereafter.
Up to 60 months: The three nearest successive calendar months, the three (for Spanish equity options nine) following quarterly months of the March, June, September and December cycle thereafter, and the four (for Spanish equity options the nearest) following semi-annual months of the June and December cycle thereafter, and the two following annual months of the December cycle thereafter.
Products marked above with "incl. W" have four further expirations at the beginning at the term. Thus, together with the standard expiration, expirations of the five next successive calendar weeks are consistently available for trading.
Last trading day
Last trading day is the third Friday, for Italian equity options the day before the third Friday, of each expiration month, if this is an exchange day; otherwise, the exchange day immediately preceding that day. In addition, last trading day for equity options with weekly expiration cycle is the Friday, for such Italian equity options the day before the Friday, of the respective expiration week.
If the preceding exchange day is not in the same calendar month as the Friday of the expiration week, the last trading day shall be the exchange day following the Friday of the expiration week.
Daily settlement price
The daily settlement price is established by Eurex. The daily settlement prices for equity options are determined through the binomial model according to Cox/Ross/Rubinstein. If necessary, dividend expectations, current interest rates or other payments are taken into consideration.
Further details are available in the clearing conditions.

European-style for equity options with group ID DE 14, CH14, FI14, FR14 and NL14; an option can only be exercised on the last trading day until the end of the Post-Trading Full Period (20:00 CET).

Crossing Parameters
(section 2.6 Eurex Trading Conditions)
(1) Orders and Quotes relating to the same Instrument or Combined Instrument may, in case they could immediately be executed against each other, neither be entered knowingly by an Exchange Trader or several Exchange Traders of an Admitted Company (a “Cross Trade”) nor pursuant to a prior understanding between Exchange Traders of two different admitted companies (a “Pre-Arranged Trade”), unless the conditions according to Paragraph 2 have been fulfilled. The same shall apply for the entry of Orders as part of a Quote.
(2) A Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade is admissible if a participant in a Cross Trade or a Pre-Arranged Trade Eurex Trading System, announces his intention to execute a corresponding number of Contracts as Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades in the Order Book (“Trade Request”). The buying participant has to ensure that he himself or the selling participant enters the Trade Request. The Order or Quote giving rise to the Cross Trade or Pre-Arranged Trade must be entered one second at the earliest and 121 seconds at the latest after the entry of the Trade Request. Entering a Trade Request without entering the respective Order or Quote is not admissible.
(3) Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to Transactions consummated during the netting process in an auction (Number 1.4 Paragraphs 2 and Paragraph 3).
(4) The automated entry functionality for Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades of the Eurex Trading System may be used for entering Cross Trades or Pre-Arranged Trades. In this case, announcement and entry of the corresponding Orders pursuant to Paragraph 2 will be automated.
