Break these “Extraordinary Events” into four categories:

Corporate actions on Issuers: (generally) benign[1] but unscheduled matters of corporate structure and management of specific underlying Shares — takeovers, mergers, management buyouts and events that change the economic proposition represented by those Shares, and not the equity derivative contract. So: Merger Events and Tender Offers;

Index adjustments: Equivalent measures that relate to an underlying Index - collectively Index Adjustment Events. So:

Index Modification: Changes in the calculation methodology for the Index
Index Cancellation: Where Indexes are discontinued with replacement;
Index Disruption: disruption in the calculation and publication of Index values;

Negative events affecting Issuers: Nationalizations, Insolvency, Delisting of underlying Issuers;

Additional Disruption Events: Events which directly impair performance and risk management of the Transaction itself. These often cross over with market- and Issuer-dependent events above, but the emphasis here is their direct impact on the parties’ abilities to perform and hedge the derivative Transaction itself. So:

The Triple Cocktail: The Triple Cocktail of Change in Law, Hedging Disruption and Increased Cost of Hedging;
Stock borrow events: Specific issues relating to short-selling (Loss of Stock Borrow and Increased Cost of Stock Borrow); and
Random ones that aren’t needed or used: Two random ones that don’t brilliantly fit with this theory, and which people tend to disapply — possibly for that exact reason, but they are fairly well covered by the Triple Cocktail anyway — Failure to Deliver under the Transaction on account of illiquidity and, even more randomly, Insolvency Filing[2].
  1. ↑ “Benign” from the point of view of the target company’s solvency and market prospects; not quite so benign from its management team’s prospects of ongoing employment.
  2. ↑ especially since there is already an “Insolvency” event covering most of this).
