Market claims and Transformations

For instructions resulting out of a corporate action event (Corporate Actions on flow and stock) with a record date prior to 3 February 2017, CBF will cancel all instructions that are pending on 3 February close of business.

LuxCSD customers are requested to liaise with their counterparty to compensate the proceeds of market claims or transformations bilaterally or to instruct the claim as of Monday 6 February 2017.

For instructions resulting out of a non-income event (corporate actions on flow and stock) with a record date equal or after 3 February 2017, market claims and transformations will be generated with the new T2S rules with payment date 6 February 2017 or later.

Hungary

KELER will migrate to T2S during the migration weekend, but will implement its replacement system (BaNCS) including all T2S functionalities only after migration has taken place. According to current plans, the go-live of the new system will be 3 July 2017.

Impact on customers

Settlement against EUR is not offered by LuxCSD to customers today. All FoP instructions will settle via KELER as today, but outside T2S, with the exception of cross-border deliveries to OeKB counterparties.

Hence customers are not impacted by the migration of KELER to T2S and domestic Hungarian instructions will settle without any change.

Matching note: Post migration, LuxCSD customers are recommended to use the additional matching fields opt-out and cum/ex indicators only if it is ensured that their counterparty indicates the same opt-out and cum/ex indicator at instruction level. Otherwise, the instructions will not match. If no agreement with the counterparty is in place on the usage of the opt-out and cum/ex indicators, we recommend that they are left blank in order to avoid matching issues.
