REVISION OF STRUCTURED WARRANTS REFERENCE PRICE AND STATIC PRICE LIMITS

Please be informed that effective 19 June 2017, the calculation of Reference Price and Static Price Limits of Structured Warrants in Bursa Malaysia will be revised.

The revision is applicable to Normal Market, Odd Lot Marker and Buying-In Market segments.

Currently the Reference Price refers to the closing price/previous close price.

The following are the key points of the revision:

1) When there is any trade executed in the 1st Trading Session 

  • The Last Done Price at the Completion of the 1st  Trading Session will be the Reference Price for the 2nd Trading Session. 
  • Static Price Limits for the 2nd Trading Session will be based on the Reference Price. 

2) If there is NO TRADE EXECUTED in the 1st Trading Session 

  • If there is a BUY (or SELL)  order at the Upper Limit or (as the case may be) Lower Limit Price, then the Reference Price for the 2nd Trading Session is the Upper Limit  Price or (as the case may be) the Lower Limit Price at the end of the 1st Trading Session; or
  •  Reference Price of the 1st Trading Session.
  •  Static Price Limits for the 2nd Trading Session will be based on the Reference Price. 

3) At 12:35pm, all active orders residing in the Normal and Odd Lot Market segments will be revalidated against the new Static Price Limits. Orders which are outside the 30% (or 30 percent) band of the Static Price Limits will be purged by the Exchange trading system

4) If there is one or more trades executed in a Trading Day or Half Trading Day, the Closing Price will be the Reference Price at the start of the next Trading Day. 

5) Kindly note that this change is not applicable on the first day of listing/quotation.
