Calculation of Settlement price if Mandatory Call Event (MCE) occurs (with Residual Value)

When a CBBC is being called before expiry, there is no residual value for Category N CBBC, and investor may lose all his investment. Category R CBBC, however, may have possible residual value. The calculation of its residual value is as following:

Residual value of Bull contract = (The lowest underlying price in the observation period - strike price) / Conversion ratio

Residual value of Bear contract = (Strike price - the highest underlying price in the observation period) / Conversion ratio
