Oslo Clearing

We would like to remind all members and related parties of the third and final step in the implementation of CCP-clearing for cash equities, equity certificates and ETFs traded on Oslo Børs and Oslo Axess.

As of Friday 27 August 2010 all cash equities, equity certificates and ETFs traded on Oslo Børs will be cleared through Oslo Clearing. Please see the enclosed list for an overview of all new instruments eligible for CCP-clearing.

Oslo Børs VPS / Oslo Clearing successfully launched a central counterparty (CCP) for clearing of trades in five selected shares listed on Oslo Børs on Friday. This represents a “soft launch” of a CCP for equities prior to the launch of CCP clearing for all equities, equity certificates and ETFs traded on Oslo Børs and Oslo Axess. This is planned to take place on 18 June.
