Template:M gen Equity Derivatives 12.9

Section 12.9 has seven elective “Additional Disruption Events”. These grew out of consensus market practice after the publication of the 1996 Equity Derivartive Definitions.

Additional Disruption Events are elective, so don’t apply unless specifically turned on. There are overlaps: Change in Law and Hedging Disruption, for example.

Given that Change in Law contains no cure period and Hedging Disruption contains a two Scheduled Trading Days’ cure period, parties should consider specifying a priority between the two Additional Disruption Events in the related Confirmation.

Failure to Deliver applies only to Physically-settled Transactions. In the synthetic equity world, one doesn’t ride the physically settled bus, so that is one more reason we don’t let it trouble the scorers.
