identified that the delisting of the dormant contacts indicated by amendments to Appendix

A and Appendix C may affect the following Core Principles as follows:

therefore there will be no market disruption related to their delisting.

specifications for the delisted contracts. Upon delisting, the terms and conditions of these

Specifications or Appendix C.

Pursuant to Section 5c(c) of the Act and the Commission’s Regulation 40.6, the Exchange
