According to EMIR the timeline to receive authorization is as follows. 12 September 2013 Application Submitted 12 February 2013 Start Trade Reporting Q2 2014 Expected granting of authorisation ECC expects to receive the authorization by Q2 2014. Timeline for Implementation of Process Changes Changes due to the new EMIR regulations are required to comply with the details of the regulation. The majority of changes will not affect Clearing Members’ processes and procedures; yet, the following processes and procedures will require amendments: Segregation and Portability requirements will be implemented by using system functionalities of the Eurex Clearing System. General Omnibus Segregation will be implemented without changes of the respective account structure, while Omnibus and Individual Segregation requires individual collateral accounts to be set up and corresponding forms to be filled. Furthermore, the legal framework will be amended and ECC plans to publish the proposed changes to the Clearing Conditions by end of January 2014. Changes to ECC’s risk management processes and procedures have been reviewed and approved by ECC’s Risk Committee. It is planned to implement the changes until the end of Q1 2014. The impact is limited to parameter updates and therefore changes to participants processes and procedures are limited to those that either recalculate margin parameters, compare to own risk measures or use the concrete values of the margin parameters for other purposes. Information regarding EMIR is available under the following link http://www.ecc.de/en/risk-management/emir ECC will continue to publish information and updates on this website. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 3|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status Chapter B: General Information for Trade Reporting Who should read which part of this document? The documents is structured as follows • General information on trade reporting of interest for all participants is contained in Chapter B. Information on UTI (Unique Trade Identifier) and TRN (Transaction Reference Number) construction in Chapter D may also be of general interest. • This document further describes the reporting services offered by ECC. Participants (Clearing Members and Non-Clearing Members) interested in these services and intending to delegate reporting to ECC are specifically referred to Chapter C, which details scope and limitations of ECC’s offering. • This document also allows Clearing Members to align reporting in case of a proprietary reporting solution. Clearing Members, who choose to implement their own reporting, are specifically referred to Chapter D. • Non-Clearing Members, who wish to implement their own reporting solution or intend to delegate reporting to their Clearing Member, should contact their Clearing Member for further guidance. Reference to this document can be made, but adherence is not mandatory. To avoid reporting mismatches details should be agreed between the Non-Clearing Member and the Clearing Member in this case. What is the scope of ECC’s reporting? ECC will implement trade reporting for all transactions concluded or registered on ECC-cleared markets. ECC will use Regis-TR as Trade Repository. Other Trade Repositories are currently not considered. The reporting obligation depends on the regulatory status of the markets: Market EEX (all markets), CEGH, PXE Powernext HuPX 1 2 NXE 1 2 Exchange Trades Registered Trades ETD OTC No derivatives, not included in trade reporting To be decided According to ECC’s knowledge Powernext qualified as a Multilateral Trade Facility (MTF) at the time of writing but had initiated the process to be recognized as regulated market. Contracts registered or traded on an MTF constitute OTC Derivatives. Hungarian Power Exchange (HuPX) as an organized commodities market constitutes neither a regulated market nor an MTF under EMIR (see ESMA webpage) according to ECC’s interpretation. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 4|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status ECC is required to report all transactions between ECC and its Clearing Members on all markets that are classified as ETD or OTC. ECC will offer a counterparty delegation service for Clearing Members and a third party delegation service for Non-Clearing Members for all derivative transactions that are classified as ETD or OTC, given that the prerequisites outlined below have been met. ECC members that are not incorporated in the European Union are advised to investigate to what extent they have a reporting obligation according to EMIR Article 9. Reporting for Exchange Traded Derivatives (ETDs) An open-offer model is operational for trades concluded on all markets cleared by ECC such that cleared transactions immediately exist upon matching. Due to the principal-to-principal model, the Clearing Member (CM) concludes a transaction with ECC as well as, in case of Non-Clearing Member (NCM) or client business, a back-to-back transaction with its Non-Clearing Member or client. Thus, for any one Exchange Traded Derivatives transaction four trades/positions are reportable by the respective counterparties, implying reporting by ECC, the Clearing Member and the Client of the Clearing Member (Non-Clearing Member or Client). Reporting for Registered Derivatives Generally, derivative contracts registered for clearing under the rulebook of a regulated market serviced by ECC qualify as ETDs depending on the status of the market as maintained in the table above. ECC will report every registered derivatives contract based on the information provided upon registration. Hence, the approach for ETDs explained above is also used for reporting of registered derivatives. Reporting of OTC Derivatives (currently only Powernext) will follow the same reporting procedure as for ETDs. As far as prior to trade registration, a previous bilateral trade was reportable, such trade has to be reported by the respective counterparties themselves (including cancellation). This is due to the fact that contracts registered for clearing are unaffected by and independent of any previous arrangements between the parties, including the question whether a trade has been previously concluded or whether said conclusion has been subject to successful trade registration/clearing. Possibly existing OTC Derivatives prior to novation are therefore not included in ECC’s reporting offering. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 5|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status Trade Reporting, Netting and Position Reporting ECC will report individual transactions and net positions. Trades will be reported in their end-of-day status; meaning that new trades will be reported for the ultimate end-of-day counterparties. Individual lifecycle events (i.e. splits, give-ups, take-ups) will not be reported. All trades are netted during end-of-day processing. Netting will be specifically reported as a modification of action type compression to all trade records of day t. Subsequent lifecycle events are reported for the net position only. As no reporting mechanism for positions has been defined by ESMA, positions have to be reported as separate transactions with a separate Unique Trade Identifier for each position. The Position UTI will be constructed such that it will remain unchanged over the lifecycle of the position. Thus, after the initial reporting of a position, each position lifecycle event will be reported as a position modification. At maturity the position will be automatically cancelled by the Trade Repository and no specific lifecycle event will be reported. Any reported position will be marked as originating from a compression exercise, meaning that the compression field will be filled with yes. Mark-to-Market, Valuation and Collateral Financial Counterparties and Non-Financial Counterparties above the Clearing Threshold (NFC+) are required to report exposure fields (ESMA fields 17-26) under EMIR. The start of exposure reporting has been extended by 180 days. It should be noted that ECC will report exposures for positions only and not for individual transactions. Non-Financial Counterparties below the Clearing Threshold (NFC-), which delegate reporting to ECC, may request exposure reporting by ECC with the ECC Reporting Service Form. According to ESMA guidance, valuations for CCP-cleared transactions are to be reported at position level on a daily basis, as maintained by the CCP. Hence, for all open positions ECC will report: a Valuation Update in which the price of the position is adjusted to the current end-of-day settlement price and the mark to market value is given by the variation margin, a Collateral Update. Collateralization between ECC and the Clearing Member is performed on a portfolio basis and collateral between ECC and the Clearing Member is pledged one-way. The collateralization between the Clearing Member and its Non-Clearing Member is not known to ECC. ECC assumes that the collateral of an individually segregated Non-Clearing Member and a segregated omnibus3 equals the amount of the segregated collateral. Collateral for other clients is reported as share of the value of the Clearing Member’s standard collateral pool calculated according to the share of the client’s individual margin requirement. As far as these definitions do not match actual collaterals, the collateral reporting fields have to be corrected by the Non-Clearing Member. 3 Please note that the technical setup of segregated omnibus clients follows the Non-Clearing Member model, while reporting delegation follows the Clearing Member agency model. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 6|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status Backloading Derivative contracts, which were outstanding on or after 16th August and are still outstanding on 12th February 2014 have to be backloaded within 90 days of the reporting start date. Furthermore, derivative contracts, which were outstanding on or after 16th August 2012 and are not outstanding on or after the reporting start date shall be reported to a Trade Repository within 3 years. Transactions and lifecycle events do not have to be reported. For positions outstanding on 12th February 2014 ECC will report the end-of-day net position of 11th February 2014. As ECC’s reporting approach involves modifying open positions, the 90 day grace period will not be used. The Position UTI for said positions will be constructed as outlined below. Derivative contracts that are no longer outstanding will be reported in their final state without any information on valuations and collateral.4 4 ICE ENDEX derivatives that have expired while being cleared by ECC are subject to the standard backloading proceth dure. ICE ENDEX derivatives that were outstanding on 7 October 2013 and have been subsequently transferred to th ICE Clear Europe will be reported as new positions and then terminated for 7 October 2013 by ECC. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 7|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status Chapter C: Information for ECC-delegated Trade Reporting Scope, Prerequisites and Fees EMIR does allow for reporting delegation (either as full or partial delegation5) to either one’s counterparty or a reporting third party. ECC has chosen Regis-TR as its Trade Repository, which supports delegated reporting. To use ECC-delegated trade reporting the delegating party is required to hold a reporting participant membership at Regis-TR. It should be noted, that the liability for complete and accurate reporting remains with the delegating counterparty. To this end, delegating parties are referred to Regis-TR for downloading reported data and correcting/amending data. In case a NCM chooses to delegate reporting to ECC, but its CM does not delegate reporting to ECC, or vice-versa it should be noted that ECC will only report according to this specification which may change from time to time and will not attempt to match the counterparty’s reporting, nor resolve any mismatches to the counterparty’s reporting. ECC will offer the following reporting services for trades/positions according to EMIR Article 9. Reporting Entity Account/ Leg to report Clearing Member Non-Clearing Member Proprietary Agency NCM Proprietary Agency Accounts Accounts Accounts Accounts Accounts Full Full Full Delegation Delegation Delegation n/a n/a CM – CCP CM – Client n/a Client – Indirect Client n/a No Full Full/Partial Delegation Delegation Delegation n/a n/a n/a 6 Full/Partial Delegation 6 No Delegation In case of delegation of Clearing Member – Non-Clearing Member trades/positions, ECC strongly suggests that both the Clearing Member and the Non-Clearing Member jointly delegate reporting for these legs of the transaction to ECC, due to the complexity of the reporting obligation and the required matching between counterparties.7 For agency or omnibus account trades/positions, ECC does not know the ultimate beneficiary of the trade/position. Any transaction between the ECC member offering agency trading and its client 5 6 7 For derivative contracts where ECC holds all reportable information, it offers a full delegation service without further need for interaction with the customer. Yet, for transactions where ECC does not hold all reportable information, it can only offer a partial delegation service based on the information provided by the customer. A full delegation reporting from the perspective of the NCM is possible, if the information provided by the NCM is valid and if the NCM considers ECC’s default values proposed under the section “Information on Counterparty Fields” correct. NCMs, which are not offered a reporting service by their CM, and whose CMs is not delegating to ECC are asked to contact ECC. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 8|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status may also constitute a reportable derivatives transaction under EMIR, but is beyond the scope of ECC’s reporting service. It must be separately reported by the ECC member and the member’s client. Reporting participants choosing delegated reporting from ECC need to register with Regis-TR and will be subject to the Regis-TR fee schedule and will be directly invoiced by Regis-TR. Further information on the Regis-TR offering can be found on the Regis-TR website (http://www.regis-tr.com/index.php/faq). ECC Members can separately delegate the following reporting requirements to ECC: Trade Reporting, Position Reporting, Backloading. ECC will charge EUR 200 per month for its delegated reporting service. It is independent of the number of transaction and positions reported for the member. The Trade Reporting Service Form and General Terms and Conditions are currently drafted and will be available upon request in due course. Delegation Setup Full Delegation In a full delegation setup ECC reports the Unique Trade Identifier / Position Unique Trade Identifier, all counterparty and all common data fields. Partial Delegation In a partial delegation setup ECC reports the Unique Trade Identifier / Position Unique Trade Identifier, all common data fields and identifies the respective counterparties through the Legal Entity Identifier. The remaining counterparty fields will be reported based on the information provided by the member and ECC’s default values. As said information may require amendments in the trade repository, the delegation is referred to as partial. Information on Counterparty Fields The following table summarizes how ECC intends to report specific counterparty fields for proprietary and agency derivative contracts concluded by Non-Clearing Members and Clearing Members. While “Trade Type” identifies whether the trade is a Clearing Member trade or a trade involving a Non-Clearing Member, “Report of _ to _” identifies the reporting party with regards to the transaction and its respective counterparty. Both fields are just used to make the tables more accessible. Reporting fields where full/partial delegation is possible are marked in dark blue.

As maintained in the above tables, ECC will report based on the information provided by the member upon registration for ECC’s reporting service and specific default values, where it does not possess all reportable information. Should the default values be incorrect or the information provided be no longer valid, the reporting participant is required to correct said reporting values using its full reporting membership at Regis-TR. EMIR mandates that said correction of data is required, as the reporting liability remains with the delegating counterparty. Report Matching and Reconciliation ECC currently understands that only common data fields and counterparty ID fields are reconciled both within and across trade repositories. In case of ECC-delegated reporting the potential for mismatches is minimized (unless CM and NCM do not both delegate to ECC). As reconciliation will not be required, Regis-TR will assign status “NNEC” (not necessary) upon report submission. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 12|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status Chapter D: Information for Participants’ own Trade Reporting Implementation Report Matching and Reconciliation Only common data fields and counterparty ID fields are reconciled both within and across trade repositories. In case of proprietary reporting by Clearing Members, ECC, as owner of the master copy of the data, will require its Clearing Members to match ECC’s reporting. Matching between Clearing Member and Non-Clearing Member reporting is beyond the scope of ECC’s services unless jointly delegated to ECC. The following sections provide detailed information on the constructions of the reporting identifiers and specific fields in order to allow you to align reporting fields. Unique Trade Identifier and Transaction Reference Number Unique Trade Identifiers (UTI) and Position Unique Trade Identifiers (Position UTI) will be constructed by combining fields from the end-of-day “CB010 Position Detail” report in order to enable members to reconstruct ECC’s UTI and Position UTI. Additionally, the Order ID required for the Unique Trade Identifier (UTI) is to be taken from the end-of-day “TC810 Daily Trade Confirmation” report. Furthermore, the Transaction Reference Number (TRN) will also be constructed by combining fields from the “CB010 Position Detail” report. All end-of-day reports are available to Clearing and Non-Clearing Members via the Common Report Engine. Additionally, the required fields for UTI construction can be obtained via the FIXML interface of the Eurex system. A list of the FIXML tags is available on demand. To ensure uniqueness UTIs and Position UTIs will not be reused. Furthermore, ECC aims to add the UTI/Position UTI to both the “CB010 Position Detail” report and the FIXML interface in in the future. Clearing Members with a proprietary reporting solution are expected to provide the Non-Clearing Members/Clients with ECC´s Transaction Reference Number.

Legal Entity Identifier ECC has received a General Entity Identifier (GEI) as interim Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) from the German Local Operating Unit and will identify itself with the GEI in any reporting. ECC’s General Entity Identifier is: 529900M6JY6PUZ9NTA71 Furthermore, ECC will request all its Clearing Members and Non-Clearing Members to provide an (interim) Legal Entity Identifier. Unique Product Identifier ECC will use taxonomy “E” to identify ECC-cleared products. Please note that ECC expects further guidance on Unique Product Identifier taxonomy “U” to be published by ESMA. The table in the Specific Common Data Fields section summarizes how ECC intends to report the relevant fields for product identification.

Any respective take-up will be reported as a new trade for the counterparty taking the transaction. Historical Trade Transfer Cancel A HiTT is possible up to two days after execution.

The Action Type (table 2 field 58) of the modification will be informed as “Z” as it constitutes a compression. Open/close adjustments are not relevant for EMIR reporting, because they do not alter the trade quantity. If the trade reversal is a direct deletion of the trade in the ex- Trade Reversal Cancel change system it will be reported as a cancellation. Yet, if the trade is reversed through an equivalent trade with different sign, both trades will be reported as new trades. ESMA guidance maintains that transaction should be reported in their end-of-day state. Hence, the original trade that is separated Trade Separation New has not been previously reported and the transactions resulting from the separation are reported as new trades with separate UTIs. Position Lifecycle Events Lifecycle Event Action(s) Comment As positions will be reported per account, transfers across ac- Account Transfer New counts will be reflected as a position modification on the originating Modify account and as either the initiation of a new or modification to an existing position on the designated account. The futures contract has expired and the booking of the underlying Allocation n/a constitutes a spot market transaction not relevant for EMIR reporting. For ECC’s European-styled options exercise and expiry occur on Assignment / Exercise New Modify the same day. The adjustment on the option position is thus covered by the expiry and does not have to be separately reported. The assignment of the underlying is either reported as a new or a modified position in the underlying. European Commodity Clearing AG Copyright 2014 – All rights reserved Page 18|19 ECC Clearing Circular 01/2014 | 2014-01-09 ECC Reporting according to EMIR Article 9 and ECC EMIR Status The futures contract has expired and is replaced by constituting futures of shorter delivery period. The position adjustment of the Cascade New cascading future is thus covered by the expiry and does not have Modify to be separately reported. The positions in the constituting futures of shorter delivery period are either reported as new or modified positions in said futures. Collateral is calculated and pledged per portfolio such that any Collateral Update position is associated with a collateral portfolio. Collateral is thus reported with the initial position report and continuously modified through collateral updates. Contract expiry does not have to be separately reported, as expiry information has been reported with the contract details in the initial Expiry / Termination n/a Modify position report. Where a customer has either closed or flattened a position (termination), the position will be reported with a zero quantity rather than cancelled, in order to carry the Unique Position Identifier through the position lifecycle. Positions are marked to market based on the daily settlement Mark to Market Update prices. Mark to market is thus continuously reported through valuation updates. The Variation Margin constitutes the daily mark to market valuation. As positions will be reported per exchange member and account, Position Transfer New Modify position transfers will be reflected as a position modification on the originating member’s account and as either the initiation of a new or modification to an existing position on the designated member’s account. To reopen or close out a certain number of contracts does not alter Reopen / Close-out n/a the net position and does thus not constitute a reportable position lifecycle event.
