<h2 id="impact-assessment">Impact Assessment</h2>
<p><strong>For Traders and Investors:</strong> Participants holding or planning to initiate positions in SAMMAANCAP futures or options must wind down or exit all positions by the June 2026 expiry. No rollover to July or subsequent months will be possible.</p>
<p><strong>For Market Liquidity:</strong> Exclusion from the F&amp;O segment may reduce speculative interest and hedging activity in the underlying SAMMAANCAP equity stock, potentially affecting its liquidity and price discovery.</p>
<p><strong>For Arbitrageurs:</strong> Cash-futures arbitrage strategies involving SAMMAANCAP will no longer be viable from July 2026 onwards.</p>
<p><strong>Operational Impact:</strong> Brokers and clearing members need to update their systems and client communications to reflect the contract exclusion timeline and ensure no new positions are opened in disallowed expiry months.</p>
