a. Many U.S. counterparties request beneficiary account details and, to avoid settlement failure, customers are strongly urged to provide them.

DWAC transactions in DTC

Note: In order to enable same-day settlement, customers are recommended to encourage their U.S. counterparties to “approve” transactions during local U.S. business hours.

------------------------------------------
a. The transfer agent must be contacted to confirm that all the necessary paperwork has been completed before instructing the DWAC.
b. For conversions from Rule 144A into Reg S where Citibank London is acting as transfer agent, customers are requested to provide related instruction references via a free-format message to the Settlement team in charge of the U.S. market at the latest by 18:00 CET on SD-1. Customers are also requested, for conversions involving MMI issues only and where Citibank London is acting as transfer agent, to instruct via DTC counterparty 2952 as per standard book-entry instructions with counterparties in DTC.
c. In the case of a two-sided DWAC (for example, when Reg S tranches are being exchanged for Rule 144A tranches or vice-versa), the counterparty’s name and telephone number must be entered. If Reg S tranches are being exchanged for Rule 144A tranches, customers should make DWAC withdrawal of the Reg S tranche and their counterparty should make DWAC deposit of the Rule 144A tranche. In the case of a one-sided DWAC (used, for example, in conversions), the telephone number must be entered of the transfer agent who can confirm whether all the necessary paperwork has been completed.
d. The shareholder registration name is mandatory only for shares priced at less than 1.00 USD. There is a 78 character limitation for DTC.

DRS transactions in DTC

Note: If the customer has not submitted the necessary paperwork directly to the agent, Citibank will charge a fee of USD 35 per DRS transaction in addition to the standard transaction fee for the U.S.A.
