Changes of the assignment of technical user IDs

The Management Board of Eurex Deutschland and the Executive Board of Eurex Zürich AG decided to change the assignment of technical User IDs effective 16 May 2015.

Technical user IDs that are allocated to a particular Eurex trader can be re-assigned to other already admitted Eurex traders for a specified period, if the corresponding Eurex Member fulfils the documentation requirements in the electronic admission service eXAS. The eXAS tool is available in the Member Section of the Eurex website www.eurexchange.com.
Technical IDs are user IDs with a technical background such as Quote Machines, Electronic Eye, Algorithmic Trading Engine, Trade Engine and Order Routing systems.
Employees of the pertaining Eurex Members who are authorised to make entries in the eXAS tool (Admission Administrators), can change the assignment of a person to a technical user ID.
eXAS not only allows change of the person acting under an existing technical user ID in real time, but also enables limitation of the assignment by selecting specific hours of the day or through a calendar set-up, i.e. for a shift plan. Thereby, a trader can be replaced by another already admitted trader. Please refer to the attachment for a description of the procedure.
