Record date for voluntary corporate actions

29.04.2020

Clearstream Banking1 informs customers that for the following voluntary events Tender Offer/Purchase offer (TEND), Repurchase Offer (BIDS) and Exchange Offer (EXOF), the record date will be reported in Sequence D field :98A::RDTE of the MT564 Corporate Action Notification from

18 May 2020

Clearstream Banking will no longer report the record date in the narrative field of an MT564 Corporate Action Notification for these voluntary events.  

This change will allow a further automation of the decision management process by Clearstream Banking. The validation of customer instructions in terms of instructed quantity against the eligible position on the record date will be processed in STP mode.

Clearstream Banking will continue to:

  • reject instructions with the instructed quantity superior to the eligible position on the record date;
  • calculate and report the entitlement based on the eligible position on the record date.
