Settlement Following a Merger Event or Tender Offer. (a) If Other Consideration is required to be valued in relation to a Cash-settled Transaction that has been adjusted following a Merger Event or Tender Offer, the Other Consideration will be valued by the Calculation Agent on each Valuation Date or Averaging Date, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of these Definitions relating to Market Disruption Events will not apply to Other Consideration. (b) If New Shares are required to be delivered in relation to a Physically-settled Transaction that has been adjusted following a Merger Event or Tender Offer, then the deliveror will deliver the relevant New Shares in accordance with the terms of settlement set out in the related Confirmation, provided that if on the relevant Settlement Date a holder of the Shares would not yet have received the New Shares to which it is entitled, the Settlement Date with respect to such New Shares will be postponed to the first Clearance System Business Day falling on or after the first day on which a holder of the relevant Shares, having received the New Shares, would be able to deliver such New Shares to the other party. (c) If Other Consideration is required to be delivered in relation to a Physically-settled Transaction that has been adjusted following a Merger Event or Tender Offer, then the deliveror will deliver the relevant Other Consideration to the other party in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the reasonable directions of the other party as soon as reasonably practicable after the later of (i) the relevant Settlement Date and (ii) the first day on which a holder of the relevant Shares, having received the Other Consideration, would be able to deliver such Other Consideration to the other party. edit Resources and Navigation Resources About the Equity Derivatives Definitions | (full wikitext) | (nutshell wikitext) | Equity v credit derivatives showdown Hot topics Synthetic Prime Brokerage Anatomy | The Triple Cocktail | Cancellation and Payment | Calculation Agent Resources About the Equity Derivatives Definitions | (full wikitext) | (nutshell wikitext) | Equity v credit derivatives showdown Hot topics Synthetic Prime Brokerage Anatomy | The Triple Cocktail | Cancellation and Payment | Calculation Agent TOC | 1 General Definitions | 2 Option Transactions | 3 Exercise of Options | 4 Forward Transactions | 5 Equity Swap Transactions | 6 Valuation | 7 Settlement | 8 Cash Settlement | 9 Physical Settlement | 10 Dividends | 11 Adjustments and Modifications | 12 Extraordinary Events · 12.8 Cancellation Amount · 12.9 Additional Disruption Events · 12.9 List of ADEs · 12.9(b) Consequences of ADEs | 13 Miscellaneous Index: Click ᐅ to expand: Equity Derivatives Prime Brokerage Premium version of this page
