- If the Settlement Authority determines that the circumstances warrant the settlement of the transaction being rolled to a later date and that the member will be able to settle the transaction on a later date, the Settlement Authority may roll the settlement of the transaction.
- The rolling of settlement of a Bond ETP securities transaction will be carried out in the following manner:
