  FEATURES OF CBBC
» CBBC are financial instruments that track the performance of an underlying instrument without requiring investors to pay the full price required to own the underlying instrument.
» CBBC are issued either as Bull or Bear certificates with a fixed expiry date, allowing investors to take bullish or bearish positions on the underlying instrument.
» The settlement of CBBC is by way of cash only and the exercise style is European, meaning that the CBBC can only be exercised on the expiry date.
» If the price of underlying instrument reaches the Call Price at any time prior to the expiry date, the issuer will call the CBBC and trading of the CBBC will be suspended. Such an event is known as a Mandatory Call Event ("MCE"). The CBBC will be delisted on the 4th market day after the MCE occurs.
» The tenure of a CBBC is between 3 months and 5 years.

  PRICE MOVEMENT OF CBBC
The price of a CBBC tends to move in tandem with the price of the underlying instrument. Below are the price movement between the underlying instrument and CBBC.

Counter Price Change New Price
Underlying instrument RM 1.50 + RM 0.10 RM 1.60
Callable bull certificate RM 0.55 + RM 0.10 RM 0.65
Counter Price Change New Price
Underlying instrument RM 1.50 - RM 0.10 RM 1.40
Callable bull certificate RM 0.55 - RM 0.10 RM 0.45

Counter Price Change New Price
Underlying instrument RM 1.00 + RM 0.10 RM 1.10
Callable bear certificate RM 0.57 - RM 0.10 RM 0.47
Counter Price Change New Price
Underlying instrument RM 1.00 - RM 0.10 RM 0.90
Callable bear certificate RM 0.57 + RM 0.10 RM 0.67

  THEORETICAL PRICE OF CBBC
Theoretical Price of Callable Bull Certificates =  Spot Price - Exercise Price + Funding Cost
Exercise Ratio

Theoretical Price of Callable Bear Certificates =  Exercise Price - Spot Price + Funding Cost
Exercise Ratio

Funding rate fluctuates from time to time. Market price of CBBC may be different from the theoretical price due to supply and demand of CBBC.

  MANDATORY CALL EVENT ("MCE")
If the price of underlying instrument reaches the Call Price at any time prior to the expiry date, the issuer will call the CBBC and trading of the CBBC will be suspended. The CBBC will be delisted on the 4th market day after the MCE occurs.


  CASH SETTLEMENT AMOUNT UPON A MCE
In the event a MCE occurs prior to the expiry date, the cash settlement amount shall be calculated based on the formula as set out below, less all incidental expenses:

Callable Bull Certificates
Cash Settlement Amount = Number of Callable Bull Certificates x (Lowest Traded Price - Exercise Price) x  1
Exercise Ratio

Callable Bear Certificates
Cash Settlement Amount = Number of Callable Bear Certificates x (Exercise Price - Highest Traded Price) x  1
Exercise Ratio

Where:
» Lowest Traded Price is equal to the lowest traded price of the underlying instrument from the MCE to the end of the next Main Trading Phase; and
» Highest Traded Price is equal to the highest traded price of the underlying instrument from the MCE to the end of the next Main Trading Phase.

  CASH SETTLEMENT AMOUNT ON THE EXPIRY DATE
On the expiry date, the cash settlement amount shall be calculated based on the formula as set out below, less all incidental expenses:

Callable Bull Certificates
Cash Settlement Amount = Number of Callable Bull Certificates x (Closing Price - Exercise Price) x  1
Exercise Ratio

Callable Bear Certificates
Cash Settlement Amount = Number of Callable Bear Certificates x (Exercise Price - Closing Price) x  1
Exercise Ratio

where the Closing Price is either:
» The closing price of the underlying instrument on 1 market day prior to the expiry date;
» Average closing price of 5 market days prior to the expiry date; or
» Arithmetic mean of 1-day volume weighted average market price for 5 market days prior to the expiry date.

  RISKS CONSIDERATIONS
» CBBC have a Mandatory Call Event ("MCE") feature. If the price of underlying instrument reaches the Call Price at any time prior to the expiry date, the issuer will call the CBBC and trading of the CBBC will be suspended. The CBBC will be delisted on the 4th market day after the MCE occurs. Once the CBBC is called, even though the underlying instrument may bounce back in the right direction, the CBBC which has been called will not be revived.
» CBBC is a leveraged product. The percentage change in the price of CBBC is greater compared to that of the underlying instrument.
» Although the price of a CBBC tends to move in tandem with the price of the underlying instrument, it may not be the case in some situations. The price of a CBBC is affected not only by the price of its underlying instrument but also funding costs, time to expiry and its own supply and demand.
» The life of a CBBC is the earlier of the call date and the expiry date. When a CBBC is called, the holders will lose the funding cost for the remaining period and the CBBC will expire early.
