Call and Settlement Time for HK CBBCs

From the listing date until the day before expiry, if the underlying asset's price reaches the call price on any trading day, a mandatory call event will occur, causing the CBBC to cease trading immediately.

When the call price is reached:

Category RStrike price ≠ Call price. For CBBCs, the settlement price is determined by the lowest price (bull contracts) or the highest price (bear contracts) of the underlying asset. This price is measured from the time of the mandatory call event until the end of the next trading session. If the lowest price (bull contracts) or the highest price (bear contracts) hits or surpasses the strike price, the CBBC may have no residual value.

 

Bull Contract Settlement

Example

 Scenario 1: Call not triggeredScenario 2: Call triggered
Strike price of bull contract$125$125
Call price of bull contract$128$128
Settlement price of underlying asset$132-
Lowest price of underlying asset during calculation period-$126
Entitlement ratio100100
   

Scenario 1: Call not triggered

Investors would receive:
= (Settlement price of underlying asset - Strike price of bull contract) / Entitlement ratio
=($132–$125)/ 100
= $0.07

Scenario 2: Call triggered

Investors would receive:
= (Lowest price of underlying asset - Strike price of bull contract) / Entitlement ratio
=($126–$125)/ 100
= $0.01

*Generally, the settlement price of CBBCs corresponds to the closing price of the underlying asset on the last trading day before expiry. For index-based CBBCs, the settlement price is based on the settlement level of the futures index for the expiry month. Investors should refer to the listing documents for specific settlement details.

#The lowest price refers to the lowest spot price of the underlying asset from the time of the mandatory call event to the end of the next trading session. The calculation will extend to the afternoon session if it is called in the morning, and to the following trading day's noon session if it is called in the afternoon. In a worst-case scenario, if the lowest price equals or falls below the strike price of the bull contract, the investor will receive no residual value.

 

Bear Contract (Category R)

Example

 Scenario 1: Call not triggeredScenario 2: Call triggered
Strike price of bear contract$135$135
Call price of bear contract$130$130
Settlement price of underlying asset$128-
Highest price of underlying asset during calculation period-$131
Entitlement ratio100100

Scenario 1: Call not triggered

Investors would receive:
= (Strike price of bear contract - Settlement price of underlying asset) / Entitlement ratio
=($135–$128)/ 100
= $0.07

Scenario 2: Call triggered

Investors would receive:
= (Strike price of bear contract - Highest price of underlying asset) / Entitlement ratio
=($135–$131)/ 100
= $0.04

*Generally, the settlement price of CBBCs corresponds to the closing price of the underlying asset on the last trading day before expiry. For index-based CBBCs, the settlement price is based on the settlement level of the futures index for the expiry month.

The highest price refers to the highest spot price of the underlying asset from the time of the mandatory call event to the end of the next trading session. The calculation will extend to the afternoon session if it is called in the morning, and to the following trading day's noon session if it is called in the afternoon. In a worst-case scenario, if the highest price equals or exceeds the strike price of the bear contract, the investor will receive no residual value.

 

How to Settle Residual Value of CBBCs After Expiry or Call Event

No further action is required by the investor once a CBBC reaches expiry or is called. It is recommended that you check your daily statement for details.

If there is any residual value, Longbridge will automatically credit the amount to your account within one week following settlement by the issuer. The corresponding CBBC will be removed from your holdings within the same timeframe. Please refer to the issuer's official announcements for further information.
