Amendments to Expiration of Certain CME Group Weekly Option Contracts Due to New Year's Day Holiday

Please note that as a result of the upcoming New Year’s Day holiday, selected weekly option contracts in Grain & Oilseeds, Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange, Energy, and Metals (the “Contracts”) that are scheduled to expire on January 1, 2016 will expire on December 31, 2015.  The Contracts, which are also noted in Table 1 below, will be designated as January 2016 Week 1 option contracts even though they will expire in December 2015.  As there are no expirations scheduled on January 1, 2016 for Equity Index weekly option contracts, they are not impacted by the New Year’s Day holiday.
