Eurex Clearing

1. New procedure for maintenance of cash balance in segregated cash collateral pools 2. Extension of deadlines for cash collateral deposits in currencies CHF, GBP and USD

As of 10 October 2012, the procedure for maintaining the cash balance of cash collateral pools for segre-gated clients with pool type “Omnibus Segregated” and “Fully Segregated” will change so that it will no longer be possible to use the Permanent Cash Balance functionality. All cash deposited in a segregated pool will remain until its withdrawal is requested by the Clearing Member. The new procedure will be applied to all currencies (Swiss franc, euro, British pound, U.S. dollar).

There will be no change in the procedure for non-segregated (i.e. “Default” type) collateral pools.

Effective 10 October 2012, the current deadlines for the intraday cash collateral deposit requests via the Eurex @X-tract Clearing GUI will be extended for the currencies Swiss franc, British pound and U.S. dollar.

The deadline for euro cash collateral deposit requests will remain unchanged (14:00 CET). The current deadlines for cash collateral release requests via the Eurex @X-tract Clearing GUI remain unchanged for all currencies.
