If the limit in the aforementioned order is higher than the upper price variation limit or lower than the bottom price variation limit as applicable at closing, then the upper or, as appropriate, bottom price variation limit as applicable at closing will be deemed the daily settlement price.
In the exceptional cases, the Exchange may, in consultation with KDPW, set a settlement price other than that set as per the above.
