In cases where delivery of shares is not possible, the OCC may delay settlement obligations or consider alternative methods such as cash settlement...Show More

In cases where delivery of shares is not possible, the OCC may delay settlement obligations or consider alternative methods such as cash settlement or a buy-in of shares. Clearing Members are required to notify the OCC if they are unable to effect settlement and must refer to the Broker-to-Broker Delivery Advice report for daily updates on exercise and assignment activity. The OCC will continue to margin these activities until settlement is achieved.
