4 SESSIONS DURING THE TRADING DAY For events during sessions, see appendix I. 4.1 PRE-OPEN During this no-matching session, only order cancellation is allowed. 4.2 CONTINUOUS TRADING During this auto-match session each new incoming order is immediately checked for execution against orders on the opposite side of the Order Book. Orders can be executed in full or partially in one or more steps. Orders in the Order Book will be matched according to the priority: 1. price; and 2. time Buy or sell orders entered with the same price as a corresponding buy or sell order in the Order Book will be matched into a trade. Buy orders entered into the Order Book with a higher buy price than the sell order with the lowest price (crossing prices), will be matched into one or more trades depending on the volume of the incoming order and the volume and the price of the sell order(s). The matching process will try to fill as much as possible of the volume in the incoming buy order until the limit of the crossing prices is passed. Sell orders entered into the Order Book with a lower sell price than the buy order with the highest price (crossing prices), will be matched into one or more trades depending on the volume of the incoming order and the volume and the price of the buy order(s). The matching process will try to fill as much as possible of the volume in the incoming sell order until the limit of the crossing prices is passed. The price of the resting (passive) order is used if an incoming (aggressive) order has a price better than the price of the best existing order in the order book (e.g. the sell limit is lower than the buy limit). The priority order in the same price level is the time when the order was accepted and stored in the Order Book. Genium INET Market Model 12

4.3 CALL INTERACTION Call auctions are only applicable for index futures on OMXS30, OMXSB, OMXC20CAP and OMXO20. Order Price Limits are not activated during Call auctions. Trading in the applicable index futures order books starts with a Call auction process prior to continuous trading and ends with a Call auction process after continuous trading. Call auctions are executed for all futures Order Books per Index at the same time. Both the Opening and Closing Call are formed with the no-matching session Call Interaction and the sub phase Uncross. OPENING CALL The Call Interaction starts 5 minutes prior to continuous trading and ends with the Uncross in the transition to continuous trading whereby determination of opening price and matching of orders takes place. The Call Interaction phase allows full order management. Limit Orders, with the time in force GTC/GTD, with or without Hidden volume placed during Call Interaction or during continuous trading and stored in EMP is valid in the Opening Call Auction. I.e. long Orders are valid in the Opening Call Auction. Limit Orders, with or without Hidden volume can be entered during Call Interaction. During call interaction Combination Orders are not valid and cannot be entered. During call interaction Stop Orders are not valid and cannot be entered. Market Orders with the Time in Force, Fill-and-Kill, can be placed and stored during Call Interaction and participates at EP and if any quantity remains after the Uncross it will be cancelled. See section 7.8 for ranking of Market Orders. Market-to-Limit Orders entered during Call Interaction are treated as Market Orders, participates in the Uncross at EP and if any quantity remains after the Uncross it will be stored in the Order Book at the EP. Matching of orders takes place in the transition from Call Interaction to continuous trading and is carried out according to the Price Time ranking process. The hidden volume will receive a time stamp only when the visible part of the order has been executed. Genium INET Market Model 13

CLOSING CALL The Index futures Order Book shifts directly into Call Interaction at the end of Continuous Trading. Call Interaction lasts for at least 90 and at the most 120 seconds from the end of Continuous Trading. Call Interaction ends when the Uncross is carried out. The Call Interaction phase allows full order management. Limit Orders, with the time in force GTC/GTD, with or without Hidden volume placed during Call Interaction or during continuous trading and stored in EMP is valid in the Closing Call Auction. I.e. long Orders are valid in Closing Call Auctions. A Limit Day Order, with or without Hidden volume placed during Call Interaction in the Opening Call Auction or during continuous trading and stored in EMP is valid in the Closing Call Auction. Limit Orders, with or without Hidden volume can be entered during Call Interaction. Combination Orders are not valid during call interaction. During call interaction Stop Orders are not valid and cannot be entered, however Stop Orders entered during continuous trading can be cancelled.

See section 7.8 for ranking of Market Orders. Market-to-Limit Orders entered during Call Interaction are treated as Market Orders, participates in the Uncross at EP and if any quantity remains after the Uncross it will be stored in the Order Book at the EP. Matching of Orders is carried out randomly in the Uncross between 90 and 120 seconds after the end of continuous trading in the transition from Call Interaction to End of Trading according to the Price Time ranking process. The hidden volume will receive a time stamp only when the visible part of the order has been executed. Determination of closing price takes place in the Uncross. Genium INET Market Model 14

CALCULATION OF EP The prices used in the selection of EP are all existing prices between the highest and the lowest price where Limit Orders exist, extended with one tick up from the highest, and one tick down from the lowest price. During Call Auction the EP is calculated as follows: 1. The EP shall be the price at which the highest volume (trading volume) can be traded in the allocation, including Hidden volume orders. Trading volume can only be achieved if the highest bid price is higher than or is equivalent to the lowest ask price. If there is a highest trading volume on more than one price level, go to step 2. 2. If there is more than one price level where the tradable volume is the highest, the level with the lowest imbalance is selected. The imbalance is defined as the surplus from the aggregated buy quantity or aggregated sell quantity after allocation of Orders. If there is more than one price level with the lowest imbalance go to step 3. 3. The market pressure is used to decide the EP. - Only buy pressure select the highest price as EP - Only sell pressure select the lowest price as EP - Both buy and sell pressure then go to the next step - Only nil pressure then go to the next step 4. The price closest to the last updated of Last Match Price or Settlement Price shall be the EP. It is neither possible to calculate an EP, nor possible to match orders in the Uncross, when: No crossing orders exist; or Only market orders exist in the order book. 4.4 END OF TRADING The Uncross of the Closing Call takes place in the transition to End of Trading and so do the release of Trade Reports that are subject to Deferred Publication. 4.5 STATISTICS In this no-matching session, official High, Low, Last and Open Prices are published for each Series. 4.6 REMOVAL OF DAY ORDERS In this no-matching session, Goof-for-Day-orders in index derivatives are cleared from the Order Books.

If not fully matched, it is stored in the Order Book in descending buy-price order or ascending sell-price order and joins the queue of orders having the same price according to time priority. If the price specified by a limit price is not valid according to the allowed tick sizes, it will be rejected. It will only execute at prices equal to or more generous than its specified limit price. Stored (during continuous trading) Limit Orders are valid, and new such Limit Orders can be placed during Call Interaction. Limit Orders can be accepted in part or in its entirety. In Order Books participating in the Post Trade session, stored Limit Orders will be cleared from the Order Books before the Post Trade session starts. Genium INET Market Model 21

MARKET ORDER (MKT) A Market Order is an Order to sell or buy at the best available price and is therefore entered without a price. The Time in Force for a Market Order is always Fill-or-Kill or Fill-and-Kill. Any remaining quantity will be cancelled. Note that a Market order will trade through the Order Book until the entire quantity is filled. No Market Orders with the Time in Force, FOK, can be placed during Call Interaction. Market Orders are not valid in the Post Trade session. Market Orders with the Time in Force, FAK, can be placed and stored during Call Interaction and participates at EP and if any quantity remains after the Uncross it will be cancelled. If no EP has been established, these Orders are disseminated without price in the Market-by-Level data. Market Order is not a valid Order Type in Combinations. MARKET-TO-LIMIT ORDER (MTL) Market-to-Limit Order is an Order to sell or buy at the best visible price. The best visible price on the opposite side of the order book is used to determine the price of the Market-to-Limit Order and if the Order is partly matched the remainder is converted to a Limit Order priced at match price. In comparison with a normal Market Order, the Market-to-Limit Order only executes up to the best visible price level and therefore does not trade through the Order Book. During the continuous matching session state a Market-to-Limit Order is immediately cancelled if no match can be executed, e.g. if no Order exist on the opposite side of the market. Market-to-Limit Orders entered during Call Interaction are treated as Market Orders, participates in the Uncross at EP and if any quantity remains after the Uncross it will be stored in the Order Book at the EP. If no EP has been established, these Orders are disseminated without price in the Market-by-Level data. Market-to-Limit Order is not a valid Order Type in Combinations. Genium INET Market Model 22

7.2 ORDER PRICE LIMITS OVERVIEW Order Price Limit is a Pre-Trade Price deviation check against a reference price meaning that the price instructions on an incoming order is compared against a reference price and if an order deviate more than an order book configured parameter, the order will be rejected before it can execute. Order Price Limits are not activated during auctions. This functionality is set market wide for all participants and the limits are set by the exchange. MARKET AND MARKET-TO-LIMIT ORDERS Market Orders A Market Order with the time validity Fill-or-Kill will be entirely rejected if the whole order or part of the order would trade more aggressive than the order-price-limit. A Market Order with the time validity Fill-and-Kill will be traded with the quantity that is equal to, or less aggressive than, the order-price-limit. The part of the order that would trade more aggressive than the limit will be rejected. Market-to-Limit Orders A Market-to-Limit Order will be rejected if the matching price is outside the order-price-limit limit. The best visible price on the opposite side of the order book is used to compare against the order-price-limit limit. If that price is outside the limit the order will be rejected. ONE-SIDED PRICE LIMITS The functionality rejects incoming Buy orders with prices above the Upper Price Limit and Sell orders with prices below the Lower Price Limit. On the other hand, Buy orders with prices lower than the Lower Price Limit and Sell orders with prices above the Upper Price Limit are allowed to enter the system. REFERENCE PRICE The price used to decide the Upper and Lower Price Limit. The reference price selection differs depending on product. Orders and quotes are taken into consideration when defining the BBO and orders deriving from combinations ( bait orders ) are excluded. When using the BBO for calculating the Reference Price the quality of the BBO is validated. I.e. if the spread is too wide the BBO is disqualified. Single stock forwards and futures Index futures and Index and single stock options Reference Price Rule The following rule for selecting reference prices is used: - Rule: Genium INET Market Model 23

1. The Last Match Price (LMP) is selected as reference price in the selected Series if the price is at or within Best Bid Offer (BBO). 2. If the LMP is not valid, Arithmetic mean of BBO is selected as reference price. 3. No reference price. (I.e. if no LMP or BBO is available no price limits will be calculated.) This rule shall be selected for option series, single stock forwards and futures and Index futures. Combination Order Books Reference Price Rule The following rule for selecting reference prices is used: - Rule: 1. Arithmetic mean of BBO is selected as reference price. 2. If there is no valid BBO available, the arithmetic mean of the implied-in BBO is selected as reference price 3. No reference price. (I.e. if no BBO or implied-in BBO is available no price limits will be calculated.) This rule shall be selected for combination orders If no reference is established whereby no price limits are active, orders entered in combinations series are not checked against the Order Price Limit functionality. However, Bait orders deriving from combinations are checked against Order Price Limit in the outright order books with the exception that a combination order at order entry executes what can be executed and then potential further bait orders are checked against Order Price Limits in the outright order books and if a Buy bait order has a price above the Upper limit it is rounded off down to the Upper limit and correspondingly if a Sell bait order has a price below Lower limit it is rounded off up to the Lower limit. Genium INET Market Model 24

UPPER AND LOWER PRICE LIMIT The Upper and Lower Price Limit decide how much the price on an incoming order/quote can deviate from the reference price before it is rejected. The Upper limit is calculated as the reference price + allowed deviation and the Lower limit as the reference price allowed deviation.

7.3 TIME-IN-FORCE CONDITIONS GOOD-FOR-DAY ORDERS (GFD) GFD orders (also known as day orders) are valid for a trading day and any unexecuted portion is cancelled at the end of the business day. Orders in the Index futures are also valid during the Call Auction. GOOD-TILL-CANCELLED (GTC) GTC Orders are valid until it is cancelled and at the longest until the Expiration of the Series in question. If the Order is not matched during the day it will be inserted again in the order book the next morning when the system opens. The GTC orders will retain their original chronological order based on original entry time into the system. For combinations, GTC orders are currently only valid in the two standardized index future time spreads on OMXS30. Orders in the Index futures, apart from combination orders, are also valid during the Call Auction. GTC orders in the Index futures, including combination orders in the two standardized index future time spreads on OMXS30, are also valid during post-trade. GOOD-TILL-DATE (GTD) GTD orders are valid until a specified Date in the future. If the Order is not matched during the day it will be inserted again in the order book the next morning when the system opens. The Date orders will retain their original chronological order based on original entry time into the system. For combinations, GTD orders are currently only valid in the two standardized index future time spreads on OMXS30. Orders in the Index futures, apart from combination orders, are also valid during the Call Auction. GTD orders in the Index futures, including combination orders in the two standardized index future time spreads on OMXS30, are also valid during post-trade. GOOD-TILL-END-OF-SESSION (GTS) GTS Orders specifies the Session Type until the Order shall remain in effect. The Order will be cancelled in a transition to a session not included in the current Session type. FILL-OR-KILL (FOK) No FOK Orders are stored in the Order Book. If a FOK Order is not matched immediately into trade(s) in full upon entry, the order is cancelled. FOK Orders can only be used during continuous trading. FILL-AND-KILL (FAK) No FAK Orders are stored in the Order Book during continuous matching. If an FAK Order is not matched immediately into trade(s) in full or in part upon entry, the remaining part of the order is Genium INET Market Model 27

cancelled. FAK Orders placed during Call Auction will be stored in the Order Book but the remaining part of the order is cancelled after the Uncross. 7.4 RESERVE CONDITIONS RESERVE ORDERS In a Reserve Order (a.k.a. iceberg or hidden volume order), a certain portion (shown volume) of the total volume of an order is displayed in the Order Book. Both the displayed and nondisplayed portions of the Reserve Order are available for potential execution against incoming orders. Reserve orders include an executable quantity that is only partially visible to the market. The quantity is automatically refreshed from a hidden quantity once the displayed quantity is fully executed. Refreshing the quantity (there is a time priority among reserve orders when it comes to refreshing) is regarded as a new order from a time priority point of view, however an incoming aggressive order will not trade through to the next level until all of the displayed and hidden quantities available are executed. Stored (during continuous trading) Reserve Orders are valid, and new such Reserve Orders can be placed during Call Interaction. Their total quantity is used for the EP calculation and the uncrossing. Their total quantity is displayed in market by price. 7.5 TRIGGERING CONDITIONS STOP ORDERS Stop Orders are only available in Swedish Index futures and only as Good-for-Day Orders. A Stop Order is an Order that is stored outside the central order book with a price condition that if triggered automatically places the order into the central order book as a Limit, Market or Marketto-Limit Order. It s possible to set the price condition different from the Limit Price (if any). A Stop Order is not visible to the market before it is triggered. Stop Orders are not valid and cannot be entered during Auctions, however Stop Orders entered during continuous trading can be cancelled during Auctions. Stop Orders cannot be entered during, and are not valid in, the Post Trade session. A Stop Order can be one of the following two types: Regular Stop Order According to the buy high sell low principle, a buy Order is submitted to the market when the price for an Instrument rises to a certain level and a sell Order is submitted when the price falls to a certain level. Market if Touched Stop Order According to the buy low sell high principle, a sell Order is submitted to the market when the price for an Instrument rises to a certain level and a buy Order is submitted when the price falls to a certain level. Genium INET Market Model 28

A Stop Order triggered by an erroneous trade in Genium INET that is afterwards cancelled or price adjusted, is regarded as any other order and separately subject to the cancellation and price adjustment rules of the Exchange. Price Condition The Last Match Price (LMP) is used for triggering of Stop Orders. Trade reports and combination against combination order matching updating Last Paid Prices are not considered to be LMP, thus they do not cause any triggering. LMP originating from a combination match against outright orders causes triggering. Stop Orders will not be triggered during Auctions. Triggering conditions can be one of the following: LMP >= Trigger Price LMP <= Trigger Price SESSION STATE ORDERS (SSO) A Session State Order is an Order that is stored outside the central order book with a session condition that if triggered automatically places the order into the central order book as a Limit, Market or Market-to-Limit Order. Triggering of session changes can be used to trigger on the session Call Interaction in Index futures, i.e. at the next Call auction. The Order is immediately triggered at Order entry if the condition is fulfilled. Triggering on the session continuous trading is not valid. However, placing an Order during Call Interaction that triggers on the continuous trading will not be rejected immediately, it will be rejected when the condition is fulfilled. I.e. the Order will be rejected in the transition to the continuous trading session. Genium INET Market Model 29
