swap (BSP).
Option Type Options are Asian-style and will be automatically exercised on the expiry
day if they are in-the-money. The swap resulting from exercise
immediately goes to cash settlement relieving market participants of the
need to concern themselves with liquidation or exercise issues. If an
option is out-of-the-money it will expire automatically. It is not permitted
to exercise the option on any other day or in any other circumstances than
the Last Trading Day. No manual exercise is permitted.
Option Premium/Daily
Margin
The premium on the Brent Average Price Option is paid/received on the
day following the day of trade. Option positions, as with swap positions,
are marked-to-market daily giving rise to positive or negative realized
potential variation margin flows. Once the premium is paid there is no
additional variation or initial margin payable by the buyer of the option.
Initial margin is payable by the buyer and seller of the option, but for the
buyer the initial margin will not exceed the value of the premium paid. In
addition, the buyer may use the value of the premium of an in-the-money
option collateral against other ICE/ICE Futures margin obligations at
