Fixing the Paid Amount concept
So we have two problems: what to do if the record date for a Dividend Amount fell before the trade date for a Transaction, and secondly what to do if the dividend payment date falls after the trade terminates. Neither of these fairly predictable contingencies is addressed in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions.
The JC — errors and omissions excepted, all usual disclaimers applying — humbly offers the following:
- “Paid Amount” will apply, provided that:
- (a) where the Share commenced trading “ex-dividend” before the Effective Date" the Paid Amount will be zero; and
- (b) where the Transaction terminates after the Share commenced trading “ex-dividend” but before the scheduled dividend payment date, the Equity Amount Payer will pay any Paid Amount one settlement cycle following payment of the corresponding dividend by the Issuer to holders of record of the Share.
