The transaction rate is calculated based on the “Black Scholes”, which is one of the theoretical models of options trading, and the risk premium is considered as a spread.
In this model, underlying asset price, strike price, volatility (rate of fluctuation), exercise period (trading time), short-term interest rate are variable. Trading rate fluctuates by these changes. |

| Reason of suspension of transaction |
If BT Option deems that it is difficult to provide rates or hedge transactions due to technical reasons, such as a decrease in the liquidity of the interbank market, or a sudden change of exchange rate, we may discontinue the purchase or sale. In that case, the option that customers held will be settled at expiration time based on the expiration rate.

| Others | Temporary suspension |
