You could also call this:

“Rules for certain securities in credit account continuity”

When you’re dealing with credit account continuity provisions, there are some special rules about certain types of financial securities. These rules change how you apply some parts of the law.

You need to look at Section YC 6, but ignore the part that talks about ‘excluded fixed rate securities’. Also, anywhere else in that section where it mentions ‘excluded fixed rate securities’, you should ignore that too.

When you’re looking at definitions in Section YA 1, you need to make a few changes. First, don’t pay attention to part (e) of the definition for ‘excluded option’. Then, in parts (a), (b), and (f) of the definition for ‘market value circumstance’, replace the words ‘an excluded fixed rate security’ with just ‘a’.

These changes help make sure that certain types of securities are treated differently for credit account continuity purposes.
