==={{eqderivprov|Share Transaction}}s===
A nice way of bunching up transactions relating to Shares so you don’t have to say “{{eqderivprov|Share Swap Transaction}}, {{eqderivprov|Share Option Transaction}} or {{eqderivprov|Share Forward Transaction}}, [[as the case may be]]”, however much your inner “analyst” may compel you to do so. And you have to admit, there is a dirty satisfaction in doing so, isn’t there?
But ''not'' {{eqderivprov|Share Basket Transaction}}s, you understand. Just single {{eqderivprov|Shares}}.

Underlier”?: There isn’t a generic catch-all term for the underlier of an Equity Derivatives Transaction. This is a pity, since “Index, Share or Basket as the case may be” isn’t the most elegant expression in the annals of legal literature. You might have used “Instrument” or even “Underlier” might do.

Underlier” is a JC-spawned confection, and we do use it from time to time, when our patience with ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ and its leaden drafting becomes as shiny, thin and translucent as the seat of an old pair of suit trousers.

Equity Swap Transactions

A handy catch-all term to make your confirmation somehow legible, although to use it you must forego many, many juicy as the case may bes. Equity Swap Transactions break into two main categories:

Share Transactions

A nice way of bunching up transactions relating to Shares so you don’t have to say “Share Swap Transaction, Share Option Transaction or Share Forward Transaction, as the case may be”, however much your inner “analyst” may compel you to do so. And you have to admit, there is a dirty satisfaction in doing so, isn’t there?

But not Share Basket Transactions, you understand. Just single Shares.
