APPLICANT INITIALS PAGE 21 OF 22 Euroclear Bank home/Resources/Databases and lists/Securities Database/ Services Markets Connectivity Resources Single Platform News Training Initiatives About Automatic coupon compensation Under certain circumstances, we may decide to offer an automatic coupon compensation service for a specific payment by adjusting the cashback of your securities transaction instruction. We offer the automatic coupon compensation service upon our discretion. To find out if a specific security is eligible, go to the ‘More detailed coupon/dividend information’ section in our Securities database. To benefit from the service, you must follow all of the following criteria: The security must be eligible for the automatic coupon compensation service. The actual settlement date of the trade must be after the record date of the coupon. The contractual settlement date of the trade must be before the interest period ending date of the coupon. The transaction must be an against payment internal transaction (i.e between two Euroclear Bank Participants). We adjust compensations for the entire actual period and value date of the applicable coupon payment. If a partial redemption , without reduction of the nominal amount, pays alongside the coupon (same payment date), these proceeds will also be included in the compensation. Automatic coupon compensation is applied even if your trade settles ‘late’ or after the coupon payment date. In practical terms, this means: Receipt - Crediting your account and debiting your counterparty Delivery - Debiting your account and crediting your counterparty We may adjust the compensation manually after we have processed the actual coupon if: Your trade was not automatically compensated due to missing coupon information on the settlement date; or the payment details (price, record date, interest period) have changed since settlement date. We will usually notify you of a manual adjustment by updating the initial corporate action notification (DACE notice type 360 INTR ‘Standard Income payment’) or equivalents SWIFT MT 799/760. We automatically detect eligible trades for compensation based on four above-mentioned criteria. If you disagree with our automatic compensation you will need to agree on further adjustments directly with your counterparty. (*)For floating rate notes, the maturity date saves only as an indication, until it is fixed after the final coupon starting date. APPLICANT INITIALS PAGE 22 OF 22
