RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

THE CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT DUE TO THE VOLATILE NATURE OF SECURITIES MARKETS, THE PURCHASE AND WRITING OF OPTIONS OVER SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

WARNING TO OPTION HOLDERS

THE CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT SOME OPTIONS MAY ONLY BE EXERCISED ON AN EXPIRY DAY (EUROPEAN-STYLE EXERCISE) AND THAT OTHER OPTIONS MAY BE EXERCISED AT ANY TIME BEFORE EXPIRATION (AMERICAN-STYLE EXERCISE). THE CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT UPON EXERCISE SOME OPTIONS REQUIRE DELIVERY AND RECEIPT OF THE UNDERLYING SECURITY AND THAT OTHER OPTIONS REQUIRE A CASH PAYMENT.

THE CLIENT IS AWARE THAT AN OPTION IS A WASTING ASSET AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT AS AN OPTION HOLDER THE CLIENT MAY SUFFER THE LOSS OF THE TOTAL PREMIUM PAID FOR THE OPTION. THE CLIENT IS AWARE THAT AS AN OPTION HOLDER IN ORDER TO REALISE A PROFIT IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO EITHER EXERCISE THE OPTION OR CLOSE THE LONG OPTION POSITION IN THE MARKET. UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO TRADE THE OPTION DUE TO LACK OF LIQUIDITY IN THE MARKET. THE CLIENT IS ALSO AWARE THAT THE OTM HAS NO OBLIGATION EITHER TO EXERCISE A VALUABLE OPTION IN THE ABSENCE OF A CLIENT’S INSTRUCTION OR TO GIVE TO THE CLIENT PRIOR NOTICE OF THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE OPTION.

WARNING TO OPTION WRITERS

THE CLIENT IS ALSO AWARE THAT AS A WRITER OF AN OPTION THE CLIENT MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY ADDITIONAL MARGIN AT ANY TIME. THE CLIENT IS AWARE THAT AS AN OPTION WRITER, UNLIKE AN OPTION HOLDER, HE MAY BE LIABLE FOR UNLIMITED LOSSES BASED ON THE RISE OR FALL OF THE PRICE OF THE UNDERLYING SECURITY AND HIS GAINS ARE LIMITED TO THE OPTION PREMIUM.

ADDITIONALLY, WRITERS OF AMERICAN-STYLE CALL (PUT) OPTIONS MAY BE REQUIRED AT ANY TIME BEFORE EXPIRY TO DELIVER (PAY FOR) THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES TO THE FULL VALUE OF THE STRIKE PRICE MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF UNDERLYING SECURITIES. THE CLIENT RECOGNISES THAT THIS OBLIGATION MAY BE WHOLLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE VALUE OF PREMIUM RECEIVED AT THE TIME THE OPTIONS WERE WRITTEN AND MAY BE REQUIRED AT SHORT NOTICE.

風險披露聲明書

客戶知悉由於證券市場時有波動， 購入及沽出股票期權須承擔高風險。對期權持有人的警告

客戶明白有些期權在到期日方可行使（ 歐式期權的行使 ）， 其他期權可於到期前的任何時間行使（ 美式期權的行使 ）。 客戶明白有些期權在行使時客戶須交收正股， 而其他期權在行使時則須支付現金。

客戶知悉期權乃損耗性資產， 期權持有人可能會損失該期權的全部期權金。 客戶作為一位期權持有人， 欲賺取利潤， 必須行使期權或在市場將期權長倉平倉。在某些情況下， 因市場流通量不足， 買賣期權會出現困難。客戶亦知悉期權交易會員在未獲客戶指 示前並無責任行使有價值的期權， 亦無責任將期權的到期日預先通知客戶。

對期權沽出人的警告

客戶亦知悉作為一位期權沽出人， 客戶可能須在任何時候繳付額外的按金。 客戶知悉期權沽出人與期權持有人不同， 正股價的起跌可令沽出人蒙受無限損失， 而期權金乃沽出人的唯一回報。

此外， 美式認購（ 認沽） 期權的沽出人可能需要在到期前的任何時間交收正股或支付現金代價， 該價格為行使價乘以正股數目的乘積， 客戶明白上述責任可能與沽出期權所收到的期權金的價值完全不成比例， 同時接獲的可能只是短期通知。

We understand that the return of such securities as are delivered, transferred and/or charged as aforesaid may be subject to the prior satisfaction of such liens and/or charges.
