| Moment of entry of instructions | VP system: Upon receipt of the transfer order for settlement, VP will make an acknowledgement available to the instructing party and any other participants in the settlement of the transaction in question. As from that moment the transfer order is deemed "entered" into the VP Clearing and Settlement system. T2S: Whereas a transfer order for T2S settlement has been passed on to the T2S System, is deemed “entered” into at the moment at which it has been declared compliant with the technical rules of T2S by the T2S platform. |
| Irrevocability of instructions | VP system: When matching of a transfer order has occurred, the transfer order cannot be cancelled or revoked unilaterally by either the participant or a third party. T2S: When a transfer order has been given the status matched on the T2S platform, the transfer order cannot unilaterally be cancelled or revoked. |
| Finality of instructions | VP system: A transfer order for Settlement in a batch is finally settled (unconditional, irrevocable and enforceable) as from the moment when the batch in which the transfer order is settled is completed (the Moment of Settlement Finality). T2S: A transfer order is finally settled (unconditional, irrevocable and enforceable) as from the account entry (credit) of the securities on the receiving settlement participant’s account on the T2S platform. The corresponding account entry will hereafter be mirrored in the VP Clearing and Settlement System. |
