Contracts	Base Maintenace Margin	Base Initial Margin

The Impact of These Changes for the Affected Contracts

Under all Risk Limits:

• Initial Margin requirements will decrease, so Bankruptcy Price will move closer to the Average Entry Price and Maximum Leverage available will increase.
• Maintenance Margin requirements will decrease, so Liquidation Price will move closer to Bankruptcy Price and the amount of Maintenance Margin lost in the event of liquidation, will decrease.
• The difference between Initial Margin and Maintenance Margin will decrease, the Liquidation Price will move closer to the Average Entry Price.
