Nominal Exercise Price
The price one pays for a Ginnie Mae pass-through. It differs from the adjusted exercise price because, before one buys the pass-through, mortgage borrowers are paying down the principals on the underlying mortgages. One calculates the nominal exercise price as follows:
Nominal exercise price = Adjusted exercise price * Total amount of the remaining principal
Nominal exercise price = Adjusted exercise price * Total amount of the remaining principal
