Securities eligible to be included on the Underlying Index

A security must have a minimum market cap of $100 million to be included on the Underlying Index. An index is made up securities from different sectors or issuers. Nasdaq futures that meet the minimum market capitalization requirement are eligible for inclusion.

Eligible participants must pay a margin of $.375 per security future product, listed option, or unlisted derivative. Account guarantees cannot satisfy margin requirements. The Exchange Act Section 11 (d)(1) and SEA Rules 11d1-2 require that the margin requirement be satisfied.
