In the event of new eligible MGS being introduced, unless otherwise determined by the Exchange
in consultation with the Commission:
- If there are four or more MGS in the basket of eligible MGS (including the new/reissued MGS),
the new MGS/reissued MGS will be assigned a 30% weighting while the rest will receive equal
weights;
- If there are three MGS in the basket of eligible MGS (including the new MGS/reissued MGS), the
new MGS/reissued MGS will be assigned a 40% weighting while the rest of the MGS in the basket will
receive equal weights; and

weight.
Yield
- At 1100 hours on the Final Trading Day, from the quotation contributed by selected institutions
on Reuters Ltd, the arithmetic mean of the eligible MGS
mid price shall be calculated, after discarding the
two highest and the two lowest prices. It will be converted to yield in
percentage, rounded to the nearest four decimal places.
The final yield for all the eligible MGS in the basket is derived from the yield for each MGS
as per the weightage announced by the Exchange.
The final settlement value shall be calculated from the final yield in accordance with the
following formula rounded to two decimal places:
Price = {(C/Y)[1 - (1 + Y/2)
-2N] + (1 + Y/2)
-2N} x RM100
Where C = Coupon, Y = Yield.
- In the event that the above calculation (i) cannot be made, the final settlement value shall be
calculated as published by another financial news vendor approved by the Exchange at 1100 hours
(Malaysian time) on the Final Trading Day. (iii) In the event that the above
calculation (i) and (ii) cannot be made, the final settlement value shall be calculated as obtained
from Bank Negara Malaysia at 1100 hours (Malaysian time) on the Final Trading Day.
In the event that none of the above 3 calculations can be made, the final settlement value
shall be determined by the Exchange.
