IT – INET Nordic – Additional optional Tick Size table for Exchange Traded Products and changes to the use of Buy-Back functionalities (32/16)

Nasdaq Nordic is planning an additional, optional tick size table for Exchange Traded Products on Nasdaq Stockholm. Additionally, changes will be introduced to the use of the Sold-Out Buy-Back, Buy-Back and Knock-Out Buy-Back on Nasdaq Stockholm, Nasdaq Helsinki and Nasdaq Copenhagen.  

The additional tick size table for Warrants, Certificates and Exchange Traded Notes on XSTO contains tick size 0,001 for all price levels. The table is an existing tick size table which will be renamed for this purpose.

Enhancements to the use of the Buy-Back functionalities relate to market practice and procedural changes that are to be reflected in the Market Model. Technical functionality will remain unchanged. Sold-Out Buy-Back and Buy-Back will be allowed going forward also in unforeseen and exceptional circumstances where it is unreasonable for the Market Maker/Issuer to be expected to maintain two-sided prices in the instrument. Additionally going forward, the Knock-Out Buy-Back functionality can be activated directly with the “KB” note code, without first placing the instrument in “Trading Halt – Knock Out”. As of July 4, both the practice of placing the instrument in “Trading Halt- Knock Out” and then applying the note code “KB” as well as the practice of applying the note code “KB” without the instrument being in “Trading Halt – Knock Out” first, will be allowed.

The tick size table change is planned for INET and GCF production as of July 4, 2016 and testing will be available in INET Test (NTF) and GCF - TST4 as of June 21, 2016.
