Floating Price The Floating Price for each contract month is equal to the FAME 0 Price as defined in (A) below minus the Gasoil Price as defined in (B) below.

(A) The FAME 0 Price is the arithmetic average of the mid-point of the bid and ask quotations from Argus Biofuels publication for FAME 0 under the heading "RED Compliant FAME 0 fob Rotterdam" for each business day that such quotation is determined during the contract month.

(B) The Gasoil Price is the arithmetic average of the ICE Gasoil first nearby contract month settlement price for each business day that it is determined during the contract month, except as noted in (C) below.

(C) The settlement prices of the 1st nearby contract month will be used except on the last day of trading for the expiring Gasoil Futures contracts when the settlement prices of the 2nd nearby contracts will be used.

The Floating Price is calculated using the non-common pricing convention. In calculating the spread differential, the monthly average for each component leg of the spread shall be calculated by using all trading days in the month for each component leg of the spread, followed by the calculation of the spread differential between the two averages.
Termination of Trading Trading shall cease on the last business day of the contract month.
