Compensation rules for German equities settled through DTC
If a transaction gives rise to an entitlement compensation, the following differences that exist between the German and the U.S. markets will impact the resulting compensated amount as well as the delay of its payment:
- Any compensation that is triggered by a late settlement in DTC will be compensated in USD only (not in EUR).
- The trade date is not taken into account for free of payment transaction in DTC, but only the settlement date versus the Ex-date, where the trade date is taken into account on the German market.

Depository service fees charged on ADRs
The depository service fees charged by Depository Receipt Agents (DR agents) for American Depository Receipts (ADRs) in collective safe custody accounts will be passed on to position owners.
Clearstream Banking will continue to charge DR depository fees only once per month. In line with Clearstream's monthly billing schedule, each position that is received from the agent between the first and last day of the respective calendar month will be debited individually in USD on the Creation customer account on the 15th day of the following month, or on the next possible business day if the 15th falls on a weekend.
For all DR expenses incurred in a given month, customers will receive a “statement of pass-through expenses” with their monthly billing. The “statement of pass-through expenses” will list all payments posted within a given calendar month, the underlying ISIN, the record date, the corresponding nominal, the underlying CASCADE account, the book-entry and value date, as well as the amount entered in the books, are listed.
