Delivery Method

By cash settlement. The final settlement price will be determined as

where r represents the ISDA Benchmark Rate for a 10-Year U.S. dollar interest rate swap on the last day of trading, expressed in percent terms (For example, if the ISDA Benchmark Rate were five and a quarter percent, then r would be 5.25).
