4 4 Tehran Stock Exchange CEO Message Based on the statistics distributed by the World Federation of Exchanges, 2012 was a challenging year for the securities market. The total value and volume of some products, including equities, bonds and ETFs in the member Exchanges diminished dramatically. In 2012, the value of equities trading decreased more than 22 percent comparing The number of derivatives contracts and value of bonds trading both declined 20 percent. However, the total market capitalization of WFE s members grew more than 15 percent and the average return of the Exchanges raised nearly 14 percent on the basis of their broad indices. Despite real challenges regarding the fluctuations of the currency rates in Iran, tensions existing in the country s international ties, and the ambiguities in the launching of the subsidy reform plan s second phase, Tehran Stock Exchange had considerable growth in most of its indicators, including market capitalization, trading value, broad index and free-float level last year. During the last fiscal year (ended 20th March 2013), TSE s total market capitalization increased more than 33 percent and the trading value of bloc and retail transaction jumped more than 9 percent than its preceding year. The return of the TSE s broad index for the last fiscal year was about 47 percent, and the Exchange facilitated financing of the listed companies for the value of IRR 57 trillion. Efforts to increase transparency and integrity of the market, as well as its liquidity were carried on through market s infrastructure improvement, introduction of new investment products and mechanisms, reforming the existing regulations and proposing new rules to be ratified. TSE had considerable achievement in 2012 regarding Iran s protecting investors index upgrading by the World Bank. In the latest Doing Business report, the country s rank lifted 17 steps, which is mainly due to the ratification of Disclosure Requirements Directive in the Iranian capital market. Tehran Stock Exchange is perseveringly working to boost relations with its international peers and has dynamic attendance in the global or regional entities of the securities industry; and also hosted FEAS second On-site Training Program November 2012.

5 Annual Report An Overview of Global Capital Markets in 2012 The year was a challenging one for Exchanges, in which based on World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), they lost about 22 percent of their equity transactions value. The derivatives trading was also 20 percent down comparing Other products turnover declined as well, including ETFs, securitized derivatives and bonds. The only positive indicator among WFE s members was market capitalization, which grew 15 percent in 2012 following the sharp decline in its preceding year. In 2012, total global market capitalization reached USD 55 trillion. Among different regions, the Exchanges market capitalization in the Americas jumped more than 17 percent to outperform among others; in the next steps stood Asia-Pacific and EAME regions with about 15 and 11 percent increase. Despite global market capitalization improvement in 2012, the Exchanges were not doing well over listing new companies. During the year, the total number of listed companies on the Exchanges declined 0.3 percent and accounted to 46,332 companies. The largest Exchanges by market capitalization at the end of 2012 were NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ OMX, Tokyo SE and London SE, which accounted for about half of the total market capitalization of the global Exchanges. The Exchanges from Hong Kong, China, Canada, Germany and Australia were among the other largest securities market worldwide. The entire equities trading value among WFE Exchanges had an opposite direction than their market capitalization. While the latter increased by 15 percent, the trading value retreated to below USD 50 trillion with about 22 percent downfall. The decline was evident even in the number of trades in equity shares about 14 percent to about 9.8 billion trades in World Federation of Exchanges estimated due to some global economic recovery and the promising news from some of the developed markets, in the first half of 2013 most of the indicators will be in green.

7 About The Exchange

8 8 Tehran Stock Exchange A Brief History of Tehran Stock Exchange TSE was established in February 1967, as the first Exchange in Iran. At the outset, only six companies were listed in TSE. The Government bonds and certain state-backed certificates were later traded in the market. Tehran Stock Exchange has come a long way and has evolved into an exciting and growing marketplace where individual and institutional investors trade different securities. The number of listed companies increased to over 420 by early 2000s; however, more recently, due to market development and the launching of a new Exchange for SMEs, as well as, upgrading TSE s listing requirements some less qualified companies were de-listed from TSE and transferred to the other Exchange. In the period of 1967 to 1978, the number of listed companies and their capital raised from 6 and IRR 6.2 billion to 105 (22 private banks, 2 insurance companies, and 81 industrial corporations) and IRR 240 billion. Historical Highlights In 1967 aboutirr 15 million shares and bonds were traded in TSE and the figure increased to IRR 34.2 billion in Actually, most of this development activity was due to the ratification of share ownership development laws for manufacturing entities and tax exemption for the listed companies. The trading activities diminished during 1980s due to the conflicts with the neighboring country, Iraq. In 1982 only IRR 9 million were traded in the Exchange. However, the trend shifted by a conciliatory resolution at the end of the decade, whenthe annual trading value at TSE soared to IRR 9.9 billion. After decades of TSE s activity in the Iranian economy, the capital market authorities started to think about reformation. Therefore, enactment of the new market law in 2005 provided more capacity for market growth and investment. New entities were established due to the modern requirements and recent regulations have been approved for more development.

13 Annual Report Markets and Trading at TSE The trading system is an order driven system, which matches buying and selling orders of the investors. Investors can place their orders with TSE accredited brokers, who enter these orders into the trading system. Then, the system automatically matches buy and sell orders of a particular security based on the price and quantity requirements. The mechanism for which the price of equities is determined is as follows: The best price (price priority) Time of order priority Under the price priority rule, a selling (buying) order with the lowest (highest) price takes precedence. Under the time priority rule, an earlier order takes precedence over others at the same price. Thus, when the lowest sell and the highest buy orders match in price, the transaction is executed at the price. In short, the TSE market is a pure order- driven Market. The trading system also generates and displays details of current and historical trading activity, including prices, volumes traded and outstanding buy and sell orders. This ensures that investors have the required information to be able to take informed investment decisions. TSE has cash, derivatives and bond markets. The cash market, itself, divided into two markets: First market (including two boards) and second market. There is a separate market for participation certificate (Islamic Bonds). The futures market launched in the middle of 2010 with listing the single stock future.
