SEBI has prescribed a framework to the exchanges for the adjustment of corporate actions in derivative contracts at the time of the corporate action. The exchange has published all information regarding the adjustments for corporate actions here. The adjustments are carried out so that the value of the position of the market participants, on the cum and ex-dates for the corporate action, continues to remain the same as far as possible.
Here’s how the adjustment works:
The adjustment factor for the stock split of A: B is defined as (A/B). In the case of CAMs, the adjustment factor is (5/1) = 5, since the split ratio is 5:1.
Adjustment of Futures Contracts
Futures base price:
The adjusted futures price will be determined by dividing the settlement price of the future on the day before the ex-date by the adjustment factor.
Futures lot size:
The adjusted market lot is arrived at by multiplying the old market lot by the adjustment factor. The revised market lot is 750.
Example:
If you are holding a position in CAMS NOV FUT, and on the pre-ex-date (December 04, 2025) the future closes at 3900, then on the ex-date the price will be adjusted to 780 (Price on pre-ex-date: 3900 / Adjustment Factor: 5).
The lot size will be adjusted to 750 (Current lot size 150 × Adjustment Factor 5).
Adjustment of Options Contracts
Strike Price:
The adjusted strike price will be arrived at by dividing the old strike price by the adjustment factor.
Lot Size:
The adjusted lot size will be arrived at by multiplying the old market lot by the adjustment factor. The revised lot size would be 750.
Example:
If you are holding a position in CAMS NOV 4000 CE, the current lot size is 150.
On the ex-date, the 4000 CE will be adjusted to 800 CE (Strike Price: 4000 / Adjustment Factor: 5), and the lot size will be adjusted to 750 (Current lot size 150 × Adjustment Factor 5).
