ASX Limited CHESS Release – Business and Technical Overview

© Copyright 2014 ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691. All rights reserved 2014. 3.

1. Overview

1.1. Background

As indicated in ASX’s Consultation Paper on Financial Stability Standards Implementation released on 29 July 2013 and in ASX’s subsequent Market Feedback Statement released on 13 November 2013 (refer to the links below), ASX is required to make certain rule and process changes for the purpose of achieving materially equivalent protection of client assets to that offered through a client omnibus account for the purposes of paragraph 13.2.10 of the Financial Stability Standards for Central Counterparties. The enhancements focus on the treatment of client stock and funds during the settlement process between Trade date (T) and Settlement date (T+3) and are being introduced in two phases as defined below.

http://www.asx.com.au/documents/clearing/financial-stability-standards-implementation-consultation-paper.pdf

http://www.asx.com.au/documents/clearing/FSS_Implementation_FS.pdf

1.2. Phase 1

Phase 1 includes the introduction of rule changes to:

Confirm that stock that is held in the participants Accumulation Account is held beneficially on behalf of the underlying client.

Include a requirement for participants to reconcile their Accumulation Account on a daily basis at the client level.

Ensure that funds being held in the participants trust account can only be withdrawn once the underlying client has been allocated the respective stock to which the funds relate.

Phase 1 is now complete as advised via ASX Notice 0362.14.04 dated 16 April 2014 and these rules became effective on Monday 28 April 2014.

1.3. Phase 2

Phase 2 includes the introduction of changes to some of the Clearing House Electronic Sub-System (CHESS) messaging process flows together with changes to the relevant ASX Clear Pty Ltd (ASX Clear) and/or ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (ASX Settlement) Operating Rules.

Following feedback received from participants and vendors via the vendor participant workshop consultation process, ASX has now incorporated the following amendments to the original proposal:

Transfers between a client’s broker sponsored holding and the Accumulation Account will still be allowed..

Issuer Sponsored Holding transfers and conversions to the participants Settlement Account will no longer be allowed.

Movement of stock from the Accumulation Account to the Settlement Account to facilitate CHESS batch settlement will only be permitted via the new MT107 CHESS message which should include the relevant client trustable amount.

Each time a message is sent to transfer stock from the Accumulation Account, CHESS will validate that there is sufficient stock to cover all the previously sent MT107 CHESS messages (i.e. there can be no part delivery of a MT107 CHESS message between the Accumulation Account and the Settlement Account).

For transfers into the Settlement Account the new MT107 CHESS message can be scheduled for a forward Settlement Date and participants may elect to send several MT107 CHESS messages per day, per stock, or one net message per stock covering that day’s obligations. If sending a single net message the gross client trustable amount for that stock must be included in the message.

The MT107 CHESS message can also be used to schedule stock from a participants “Direct” or “Sponsored” Holder Identification Number (HIN) into the Settlement Account and the

ASX Limited CHESS Release – Business and Technical Overview

relevant client trust amount must be included. CHESS will not validate that the source holding has sufficient units available to meet their obligation at the time of receiving the message. As part of the CHESS batch process if there is insufficient units held on the Direct or Sponsored HIN and there are no additional units being received through CHESS batch for that Direct or Sponsored HIN, then the MT107 CHESS message will fail and be re-scheduled for the next settlement day.

Note that CHESS will not part deliver a MT107 CHESS message scheduled out of a Sponsored or Direct HIN.

To reduce the intraday liquidity impact, the new MT107 CHESS message can also be used for the scheduling (via CHESS batch) of stock from the Settlement Account to a Sponsored or Direct HIN (including those HIN’s controlled by a “parent participant” within a related participant structure). The message should include the relevant client trustable amount to be withdrawn from the participants trust account. CHESS will net the trustable amounts on all the MT107 CHESS messages coming into the Settlement Account with those scheduled to come out of the Settlement Account and provide the Payment Provider with a net trustable amount to be either funded into or withdrawn from the trust account. The notification to the Payment Provider is at the payment facility level. CHESS will aggregate the trust amount accordingly, so if more than one payment facility is used a Payment Provider will receive multiple requests to transfer funds to or from the trust account. In addition the clearing participant will receive multiple MT186 CHESS messages.

The incorporation of the Trust amount on the MT107 CHESS message will be taken as an instruction from the clearing participant for ASX to advise the clearing participants payment provider (via the MT310 CHESS message) to effect the necessary transfer to or from the clearing participants trust bank account.

Note the clearing participant should not send a MT107 CHESS message instructing ASX to advise the payment provider to withdraw funds from the clearing participants trust bank account unless they are certain that the funds will be held in the trust bank account at the relevant time that the withdrawal would be scheduled to occur.

CHESS will also send a MT186 message to the participant confirming the net trustable amount advised to the payment provider.

For MT107 CHESS messages scheduled to transfer stock out of the Settlement Account, if there is insufficient stock received into the Settlement Account on that settlement day, the MT107 CHESS message will fail and be re-scheduled for the next settlement day.

Note that CHESS will not part allocate to a MT107 CHESS message scheduled out of the Settlement Account.

Enhancements to ASX (Clear and/or Settlement) Operating Rules will require all other transfers of client stock out of the Accumulation Account (that are not part of the CHESS batch process) to be funded into the participants trust account on the same day (subject to certain potential exceptions based on the Corporations Act).

All other movement of stock by the participant into the Settlement Account (except via the MT107 CHESS message) is no longer allowed.

There is no change to any movement of stock that originates from the Settlement Account.

There is no change to movement of stock between a participants "Direct" and "Sponsored" HIN's.

There is no change to movement of stock from one participant to another via CHESS batch, except the source account for the clearing participant cannot be the Accumulation Account.

There is no charge for the new MT186 CHESS message. For the new MT107 CHESS message this will be charged at the same rate that is charged for the message it is replacing e.g. where the MT107 CHESS message is replacing the MT001 CHESS message between Accumulation account and Settlement account for which there is no charge then there is no charge for the MT107 CHESS message, where the MT107 CHESS message is replacing the current MT105 CHESS message then the MT107 CHESS message will be charged at the same rate as the MT105 CHESS message etc.

Note: These changes only relate to clearing and settlement participants. There are no changes being introduced for messages used by settlement only participants.

See Appendix 1 – Restrictions on Existing Transfer Messaging for a list of all CHESS messages impacted by these changes.

1.3.1. Corporate Actions – Diary Adjustments

As currently applies to the MT105 CHESS message, automatic diary adjustments for corporate actions that impact security holdings (e.g. restructures, splits, consolidations, bonus and rights) will be applied to unsettled MT107 CHESS messages scheduled at the close of business on the relevant record date. However no value adjustments (e.g. dividends, capital returns) will be applied to unsettled MT107 CHESS messages.

3. Overview of Contents for Client Segregation Enhancements

3.1. Mandatory Changes for Clearing Participants

Impacted Parties Clearing and Settlement Participants (i.e. not settlement only participants).

Note: ASX Settlement only participants (custodians, institutions) are not affected by these changes.

Benefits to Impacted Parties

To meet regulatory requirements, participants will be required to include the client’s trustable component on all transfers (via the new MT107 CHESS message) from the Accumulation Account to the Settlement Account for the purpose of meeting CHESS batch settlement obligations. Participants will also be able to schedule units (also via the new MT107 CHESS message) from either a Direct or Sponsored HIN to the Settlement Account. The message should include the relevant trustable amount to be funded into the trust account. In addition participants will be able to schedule units (via the new MT107 CHESS message) from the Settlement Account to a Sponsored or Direct HIN. The message should include the relevant trustable amount to be withdrawn from the trust account. CHESS will then net the trustable amounts on all the MT107 CHESS messages coming into the Settlement Account with those scheduled to come out of the Settlement Account and provide the Payment Provider with a net trustable amount to be either funded into or withdrawn from the trust account. After CHESS batch settlement reporting has completed, CHESS will send the participant a new MT186 message to notify them of the net trustable amount that their payment provider will transfer into or from their trust account.

What is the Proposal? The proposal is to ensure that each time client units are moved into a participants settlement account to facilitate a settlement obligation the respective trustable amount is also transferred into the participants trust bank account as part of the CHESS batch process. In addition any client units transferred out of Accumulation Account outside of the CHESS batch process is funded into the trust bank account on the same day.

Description Processing – Accumulation to Settlement

Processing of MT107 CHESS messages from Accumulation Account to the Settlement Account provided that there are sufficient units in the Accumulation Account

Include on the MT107 CHESS message the trustable amount relating to client units.

CHESS will allow for the cancellation of the MT107 CHESS message up until settlement cut off on settlement day.

New Validation Rules for MT107

The Delivering HIN must be Accumulation Account

The Receiving HIN must be Settlement Account

Trust Amount must be zero or greater than zero

ASX Limited CHESS Release – Business and Technical Overview

© Copyright 2014 ASX Limited ABN 98 008 624 691. All rights reserved 2014. 8.

Units must be available in the Accumulation Account to be accepted.

CHESS batch settlement reporting

MT156 to confirm MT107 has settled

MT146 to confirm holding net movement on both the delivery and receiving HIN.

Example

Accumulation Account has 2,500 BHP.

Transaction 1 - Schedule 1,000 BHP from Accumulation Account to the Settlement Account. Accepted as sufficient units in Accumulation Account.

Transaction 2 - Schedule 2,000 BHP from Accumulation Account to the Settlement Account. Rejected as insufficient units in Accumulation Account.

CHESS will tally up all scheduled settlement transactions to-date, and subtract the unit quantity from the total units in the Accumulation delivering HIN for that security to determine if the current transaction is accepted.

Note: CHESS will also validate during processing of the Scheduled Settlement CHESS to CHESS Request that sufficient Cum Entitlement and Foreign Guaranteed units are available when applicable.

Processing – Direct or Sponsored HIN to Settlement

Processing of MT107 CHESS messages from Direct or Sponsored HIN to the Settlement Account (without validating that there are sufficient units) provided that there are sufficient units (at the time of settlement commencing) in the Direct or Sponsored HIN.

Include on the MT107 CHESS message the trustable amount relating to client units.

CHESS will allow for the cancellation of the MT107 CHESS message up until settlement cut off on settlement day.

An MT107 CHESS messages not processed due to insufficient units will fail and be rescheduled for the next settlement day. Note that CHESS will not part deliver to a MT107 CHESS message from a Sponsored or Direct HIN.

New Validation Rules for MT107

The Delivering HIN must be a Direct or Sponsored HIN

The Receiving HIN must be Settlement Account

Trust Amount must be zero or greater than zero

Unit Quantity must be available in the Direct or Sponsored HIN at the time of settlement commencing.

Example 1

ASX Limited CHESS Release – Business and Technical Overview

Direct HIN has 1,000 RIO.

Transaction 1 - Schedule 2,000 RIO from Direct HIN to the Settlement Account.

Transaction 2 - As part of the CHESS batch process on settlement day the participant receives 1,000 RIO via a MT101 CHESS message into their Direct HIN.

In this case the orginal MT107 CHESS message for 2,000 RIO will settle as the participant has sufficient units.

Example 2

Direct HIN has 1,000 RIO.

Transaction 1 - Schedule 2,000 RIO from Direct HIN to the Settlement Account.

Transaction 2 - As part of the CHESS batch process on settlement day the participant receives 500 RIO via a MT101 CHESS message into their Direct HIN.

In this case the orginal MT107 CHESS message for 2,000 RIO will fail and be re-scheduled to the next settlement day as the Direct HIN only has 1,500 RIO available.

Processing – Settlement to Direct or Sponsored HIN

Processing of MT107 CHESS messages from Settlement Account to Direct or Sponsored HIN provided that there are sufficient units (following CHESS batch processing) in the Settlement Account. This replaces the previously sent MT001 post CHESS batch (or for an Account Participant MT003).

Include on the MT107 CHESS message the trustable amount relating to client units.

CHESS will allow for the cancellation of the MT107 CHESS message up until settlement cut off on settlement day.

3.2. Mandatory Change to Payment Provider Messaging

Impacted Parties CHESS Payment Providers (Banks)

Benefits to Impacted Parties

Provides a mechanism whereby the Payment Provider can readily identify the trustable amount that must be credited to or withdrawn from the participants trust bank account. The trust amount field will be added to the MT310 Participant Funds Obligation message.

What is the Proposal? The proposal is to modify the existing Payment Provider CHESS Participant Funds Obligation message (MT310) to include a trust amount.

The trust amount notified to the Payment Provider must be transferred to or from the participants trust bank account as part of the CHESS batch settlement process.

This trust amount is to meet the Operating Rule requirement to ensure that all clients are protected intraday

Introduction of modified payment details to Payment Providers will be a mandatory change for all Payment Providers. As such all Payment Providers (or their system vendors) are encouraged to complete user acceptance testing prior to system accreditation. The accreditation will be for the MT310-02 which is being introduced as a result of the trust amount field being added to the MT310.

Description During CHESS Batch Settlement, CHESS will send a MT310-02 Participants Funds Obligation messages per payment facility to the Payment Provider.

The Amount field process will not change

The new trust amount field will be the total trustable amount that Payment Provider must credit to or withdraw from the participants trust account.

Likely CHESS Impact Modification to existing message

This notification contains two purposes – one with units and one without units. The purpose for each of these is listed below.

The notification contains the following:

Sender – Participant

Purpose for Delivery Transaction with Units

The purpose of the transaction is to notify to CHESS the details of a settlement between two participants. Each participant independently notifies settlement details which are matched by the system.

The delivery HIN cannot be the participant’s Accumulation Account.

The Settlement Amount is only provided if the value is to be settled in the settlement process. If the instruction is free of value or the value cannot be settled in CHESS, the Settlement Amount should not be provided.

If a match is made, the instruction is scheduled for later settlement and the status is advised to both participants. If the notification is not matched, it is flagged as unmatched and the counterparty is advised of the notification details.

The Notification is matched (on the criteria below) against other unmatched Notifications that have been sent to CHESS. The criteria are:

Security Code

Settlement Amount (within the Settlement Amount Tolerance)

Transaction Basis

Settlement Date

Receiving PID/Payer PID

Delivering PID/Payee PID

Basis of Movement (using defaults or overrides as necessary)

Unit Quantity

Trade Date (value, market only)

Guaranteed Foreign Indicator.

Purpose for Payment Transaction without Units (Miscellaneous Payments)

The purpose of the transaction is to notify CHESS the details of a payment between two participants scheduled for settlement in the CHESS batch. Each participant independently notifies payment details which are matched by the system.
