Option Style

Rebate

20 EUR

Expiration Style

European

Barrier Window Start Date

01-Sep-2003

Barrier Window End Date

01-Nov-2003

If any time during 01-Sep-2003 and 01-Nov-2003, the spot rate touches or crosses 52 INR/SD, this option comes into effect (get knocked in). Now, if on 31-Dec-2003, the spot rate is equal to or greater than 50 INR/USD (the strike price), the seller of the option pays a fixed amount of 500 EUR to Options Bank. If the spot rate is below 50 INR/USD on31-Dec-2003, the option expires worthless.

If the above option never comes into existence because of the spot rate never touching 52 INR/USD between 01-Sep-2003 and 01-Nov-2003, then a rebate amount of 20 EUR are paid to Options Bank by the seller of the option.
