In the event that trading on the Exchange is closed for the entire Expiry Day, the Official Settlement Price (OSP) for the Weekly Hang Seng Index Options and Weekly Hang Seng China Enterprises Index Options will be determined on the next Trading Day when the market is open. This will be done by taking the average of full-day 5-minute interval readings, as specified in their Contract Specifications. The Expiry Day will remain unchanged, and the Contracts will not be available for trading beyond September 8, 2023. Under this scenario, pursuant to Regulation 005 of the Regulations for Trading Stock Index Option Contracts, the Final Settlement Day of expiring contracts will also be postponed by one Trading Day.
