14. The paragraphs that were added on page 78 of the
Booklet as paragraphs 12 through 14 under the section
captioned "Special Risks of Index Options" by the
December 2009 Supplement are replaced by the
following:
12. Strategies involving the purchase and sale of
options on a variability index. strategy-based index or
relative performance index are Inherenjy complex and
require a thorough understanding of the concepts that are
measured by these indexes. Investors must understand the
method used to caladate the index in order to understand
how conditions in the market for the component securities
used to calculate its value may affect the value of the index.
Investors may fail to realize their Investment objective even if
they have correctly predicted certain events if they do not
understand how those events may or may not affect the level
of the Index. The component secunties of an implied
volatility index are put and call options (not stocks, which are
the component securities of stock Indexes). A realized
variability index, on the other hand, measures the actual
volatility of an index and is calculated directly from the values
of the reference index. There is no assurance that predicted
volatility as measured by a particular implied volatility index
will correspond to the actual volatility of the reference
interest or to measures of predicted volatility calculated
using other methods. A strategy-based index may be
calculated from the prices of multiple component securities
of different types, such as in the case of a buy-wnte index
measuring the return of a strategy that involves transactions
In stocks and options. The return from a particular strategy
as measured by a strategy-based index may differ from the
actual returns that an investor following that strategy
achieves, because of assumptions regarding transactions
and the failure to take into account significant factors such
as
taxes
and
transaction
costs. Different
relative
performance indexes may measure relative performance in
different ways. Investors should contact the listing options
market for information on the method of calculation of a
particular variability index, strategy-based index or relative
performance index.
13. Persons
who
exercise
variability options
strategy-based index options or relative performance
options or are assigned exercises based on an enoneou%
index level will ordinarily be required to make settlement
based on the exercise settlement value as initially reported
by the designated reporting authority toi die index. even if a
corrected
value
is
subsequently
announced.
In
extraordinary circumstances (e.g., where an exercise
settlement value as initially reported is obviously wrong, and
a corrected value is promptly announced), OCC has
discretion to direct that exercise settlements be based on a
corrected exercise settlement value. Ordinarily, however, the
exercise settlement value as initially reported by the
designated reporting authority for the underlying variability
index will be conclusive for exercise settlement purposes. As
described in paragraph 8. on page 77 with respect to other
indexes, reported levels of a variability index, strategy-based
index or relative performance index may be based on
