------------------------------------------
a. If no BIC exists for the Delivering/Receiving Agent or for the Seller/Buyer, the :95Q: Name and Address field can be used instead in each case. If the appropriate BIC does exist but is not provided, STP cannot be guaranteed and there is a risk of incurring potential charges.
b. For Global Bond transactions with a DTC counterparty, these fields are mandatory. The Seller/Buyer must identify the DTC counterparty’s BIC and the account must be the DTC account of the ordering party/beneficiary. Otherwise, these fields are optional.

------------------------------------------
a. The Common Trade Reference serves as an additional matching criterion for settlements in CHESS. If one party includes this field, both parties must populate it with the identical value; otherwise, the settlement instruction will fail to match.
b. Please see Securities loans in CHESS.
c. If no BIC exists for the Delivering/Receiving Agent or for the Seller/Buyer, the :95Q: Name and Address field can be used instead in each case. If the appropriate BIC does exist but is not provided, STP cannot be guaranteed and there is a risk of incurring potential charges.
d. Special requirements apply to physical and issuer-sponsored withdrawals (see Physical and issuer-sponsored withdrawals of Australian shares).
