United Kingdom and Ireland: Physical securities processing
Clearstream Banking1 has been informed by its custodian Citibank N.A. London branch that while at present the physical securities (CREST deposits, withdrawals and residual transactions) are currently being processed as normal, there may be delays, service changes or temporary termination. Customers should therefore consider if transferring physical securities is critical.

We will continue to monitor the situation, and will inform customers when further news is received from the market.
