NASDAQ OMX Nordic: Derivatives: Temporary Limitation in allowing new Underlying Instruments for Flexible Equity Derivatives (03/22)

Due to a technical limitation, Nasdaq Derivatives Markets will introduce a
temporary change in the procedure for allowing new underlying instruments as
Flexible Equity Derivatives. 

As of Monday, March 21, 2022, Market Participants need to ask for the approval
and creation of a new underlying instrument (i.e. adding a stock class not
previously offered) two weeks in advance of the intended day of entering a
trade. 

This limitation is, pending final confirmation, expected to be in force until
the end of June 2022. 

There is no impact on trading or clearing Flexible Equity Derivatives on the
stock classes or other instruments approved earlier. After an approval has been
given according to the procedure above, any newly introduced underlying
instrument works as those already approved. 

Flexible Instruments are available on all Underlying Instruments in the
Quotation List (Appendix 2 to the Exchange Rules and Clearing Rules of Nasdaq
Derivatives Markets). Underlying instruments with flexible derivatives only are
published on the Nasdaq Derivatives Markets website in the pdf-document titled.
