Daily auction model

Pricing of purchase and sale orders is determined according to the "call auction" rules, which provides for the fixing of the price at which the largest quantity of financial instruments can be traded. In case this condition is not univocally met, the following rules are applied in sequence:

• First rule:the theoretical auction price is the one at which the largeest quantity of securities can be traded;
• Second rule:at the same quantity tradable at different prices, it is the price that produces the smallest imbalance (quantity of unmatched securities with prices equal to or better than those at which contracts have been executed);
• Third rule:with the same quantity tradable at different prices with identical imbalance, it is the price closest price to last reference price (if it exists);
• Fourth rule:at parity of quantity tradable at different prices with identical imbalanca and prices equally far from the last reference price (if it exists), it is the higher price between the two equidistant ones.
