Payment of proceeds

Proceeds are calculated based on the positions recorded at the close of business on the record date and paid to the customer's account upon successful receipt and reconciliation of funds. Proceeds will be paid with the value with which they are received. 

Funds under the Available for Cash Loan (ACL) concept, when applicable, are paid with good value.  

The payment method to be applied is reported via MT564 IPAR and Xact Web Portal IPAR. 

For further details on entries qualified as ACL, please refer to the section “5.6 Financing: availability of funds” of the Customer Handbook.

a. Ex-date equals Record date. CREST will block the position from Record date until the final redemption. However, Bridge and internal transactions will remain possible and the related coupon and redemption cash payments will therefore be paid according to the ICSD position held on PD-1.

Instruction to CBL

Customers may instruct CBL to carry out options foreseen in the terms and conditions of the underlying type of security, including but not limited to exchanges, call options exercises etc.
