Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options: Introduction of additional expirations and activation of Additional Contract Versions

Eurex Circular 035/26 Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options: Introduction of additional expirations and activation of Additional Contract Versions


1.  Introduction

The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland has decided with effect from 6 July 2026

  • Introduction of ten additional month-end expirations
  • Activation of Additional Contract Versions

in Euro STOXX 50® EoD Index Options (OEXP). 

The requirements for Liquidity Providers remain unchanged. 

Production start: 6 July 2026 

2.  Required action

Trading Participants should adapt their trading and clearing systems to the new month-end expiries. 

3.  Details of the initiative

Eurex wants to facilitate customer demand for Additional Contract Version (Flex Options) with this initiative. 

To support this demand two main measures will be implemented:

  1. Extension of the maximum term from up to 3 months to 13 months in EURO STOXX 50® EoD Index Options (OEXP) by introducing the next 10 consecutive month-end options.  
    This ensures that at any point in time a minimum term of 12 months is available for trading. 
    Please note, that the exercise price interval will be 100 index points for all months-end options for the months 4 to 13. Please see attachment XYZ for further information. 
  2. Enabling Additional Contract Versions 
    Currently, Additional Contract Versions are disabled and will be activated. Customers will have the opportunity to use the same flexible settings as for other existing index options. Please note, that for OEXP strike price intervals of up to 4 decimals will be supported.

    Please find here more detailed information about Alternative Contract Version on our website.
