There are several ways this data can be accessed. 1. LCH.Clearnet Ltd produces reports on its member reporting website which are updated every 30 minutes and show the accumulation of trades that day, per clearing member These reports have existed for some time and are detailed in the document Member Report http://www.lchclearnet.com/cash_equities/lse/technical_documents.asp 2. LCH.Clearnet Ltd also offers an optional trade confirmation service. This will be on a gross trade basis and via Swift or FIX protocols. Details can be found on the LCH.Clearnet Ltd website. http://www.lchclearnet.com/cash_equities/lse/technical_documents.asp R2. Can anyone other than Clearing Members access the member reports? No.

FEES & CHARGES F1. What are the charges for receiving the trade confirmations? If the clearing member requests the service, LCH.Clearnet Ltd will not charge, however we will pass through the SWIFT message charges. This can be paid by LCH.Clearnet Ltd and billed directly to the member, or probably more likely, reverse billed (as the member s message rate at SWIFT will inevitably be lower). F2. What clearing fees will be charged by LCH.Clearnet Ltd? Additional volumes will be cumulative with all existing volumes cleared through the EquityClear Service. With increased volumes members can reduce their unit cost. Please use the following link to review the EquityClear fee schedule. http://www.lchclearnet.com/cash_equities/swx/fees.asp F3. Will LCH.Clearnet Ltd require members to increase their Default Fund contribution? No. F4. Will LCH.Clearnet Ltd pass through associated settlement fees? Yes. MARGINING & TREASURY M1. How will margining be carried out? Margin rates per stock will be determined by LCH.Clearnet Ltd s risk department and then will be margined using ERA, so margining of SIX securities will operate in the same way as for all EquityClear business. All securities within the ERA algorithm have complete correlation. M2. How are margin calls instructed and what currencies can be paid? If a member is uncovered following an intra-day margin run, they will be contacted by Treasury Operations by phone and advised of the additional amount that they will be required to pay. Before 2:30pm UK time, members can elect to cover ITD margin calls in EUR, GBP or USD. After 2:30pm the only acceptable currency is USD. Debit instructions are then sent to the member s PPS bank and the margin call must be confirmed by that bank within 1 hour. The member should check Banking REP00033 for written confirmation of the amount taken. This report is generally updated within 45 minutes of a margin call being processed. Overnight calls are sent to the member s PPS bank during the night and must be confirmed by the bank by 9:00am. Members should review their LCH.Clearnet Ltd Banking reports (see Banking Reports Reference pack) to ensure that they fund their accounts correctly. M3. What interest is paid on cash margin and Collateral charges? On cash, we pay London Deposit Rate (calculated daily by Treasury Control) for collateral, we charge an accommodation fee of 10 bps for the utilised collateral balance. The charge is applied in the currency of the liability covered.
