This circular informs Trading Participants of Eurex Deutschland, Clearing Members and Non-Clearing Members of Eurex Clearing AG (in this circular referred to together as “participants”) of amendments to the Clearing Conditions for Eurex Clearing AG, which are required for Eurex Deutschland to be designated as a “qualified board or exchange” for the purposes of Section 1256 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. These amendments are similar to those made by other major exchanges to be treated as a qualified board or exchange. Such designation will generally benefit eligible U.S. taxpayers who transact futures on Eurex Deutschland. The revised Clearing Conditions potentially affect all participants.
Each participant who has, or is required to have, a United States Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) should complete the form contained in attachment 1 of this circular and return it to the given address.
