Clearstream¹ informs clients about functionality enhancements related to transformations.

The implementation of the enhancements will take place, effective

immediately

Transformations

According to SCoRE rules - Standard 10, Mandatory with options Corporate Actions events (that is, mandatory reorganisations with options), Issuer CSDs should ensure settlement does not occur after the market deadline.

At present, Clearstream Banking performs transformations for pending matched trades on record date/entitlement date.

To comply with Standard 10 “No settlement after Market Deadline Date” which requires that any settlement instructions impacted by the mandatory reorganisations with options in the old ISIN (as of the end of Market Deadline Date) should undergo the transformation process, so that old transactions in the old ISIN are cancelled and new transactions in the new ISIN are created.

The transformation extends from the EOD market deadline until 20 business days after the market deadline.

These rules apply to the following events (REORG CHOS events with a SECMOVE debit):

BONU CHOS (with rights);
DRIP CHOS (with rights);
DVOP CHOS (with rights);
EXOF CHOS;
EXRI CHOS (with rights)
EXTM CHOS (only for ESES);
EXWA CHOS;
MRGR CHOS;
REDM CHOS.

Note: For the German market, all Corporate Action events listed above have been temporarily excluded from Standard 10.
