of Orders

to orders that are placed earlier over those that are placed later. The sequence is based on the time when the orders are accepted
by the trading host server.

 

Article 38    The
execution price in a call auction is determined according to the following principles:

 

(1) the price that can
generate the greatest trading volume;

 

(2) the price which
allows all the buy orders with higher prices and all the sell orders with lower offer prices to be executed;

 

(3) the price which
allows the entire buying or sell orders with the same price to be executed.

(3) if the offer price
is lower than the highest bid price currently available, then the such bid price shall be the execution price.

 

Article 40    If
the price determined according to such execution principles does not fall within the tick size, it shall be rounded up or down
to the appropriate tick size .

transaction is concluded after the buying and selling orders are matched and executed. A transaction executed under these rules

respective clearing and settlement obligations.

 

For transactions that
have resulted in serious consequences due to force majeure events, unexpected events or unauthorized intrusion into the trading
system, the Exchange may take appropriate measures in this regard or deem such transactions as null and void.

 

For an unconscionable
transaction, appropriate measures may be taken to address it with the Exchange’s confirmation.

 

For transactions which
are in violation of these rules and which seriously disrupt the normal operation of the market, the Exchange is entitled to declare
cancellation of such transactions. Losses incurred as a result shall be borne by the non-compliant traders.
