On voluntary and mandatory events, CEU informs clients , on an “as and if received “basis, of unscheduled securities events occurring on account holdings.

Instruction to CEU

For events for which the notification is published in WSS, clients can instruct CEU to carry out options foreseen in the terms and conditions of the underlying security. These options include, but are not limited to, put options, conversions, exercises of warrants, exchanges, detachment of warrants, etc.

Clients are requested to instruct via Swift to DAKVDEFF within the deadlines and/or procedures specific to each type of event. In the absence of instructions from its client, CEU will apply a “default option”, which may differ for each type of event.

Proxy Voting procedures

Proxy voting services are available in CEU. Clients that want to vote at general meetings (physically or by proxy) must instruct CEU to register in the name of the shareholder before the general meeting's record date as defined by the respective company. For details on the proxy voting services offered by CEU, please refer to the Client Handbook.

Entitlement compensation rules

The service for domestic trades (CEU account against CEU account) is identical to the CEU KADI service for the German and other CSD link markets. See the CEU Compensation Handbook. The service for cross-border trades (CEU account against CBL account) follwos the home market rule, in this case the CBL rule.
