Where there are no exchange-traded options

You do have to love ISDA’s crack drafting squad™, don’t you: for who else would take the time to consider[1] what to do when you have selected Options Exchange Adjustment for Shares that don’t have any exchange-traded options. Look, folks, if there are no exchange-traded options on the underlying shares, then don’t select Options Exchange Adjustment as your Method of Adjustment for crying out loud.

If he were in a more patient mood, the JC might suppose that options may unexpectedly cease trading on exchange after a Transaction is executed, or may be temporarily suspended — and perhaps ’an event having a concentrative or dilutive effect on the value of the shares might be just the thing to cause a suspension or delisting. But even this is a recommendation to plump for Calculation Agent Adjustment under 11.2(b). You would think. I know, I know: but the Calculation Agent might rip my face off! Not one who understands the commercial imperative.
