Income collection
| Service offered | Remarks |
| Notification to customers | |
Standard Asset Servicing reporting via SWIFT MT56x, Xact Web Portal and Xact File Transfer. | See Section 8 “Asset servicing” of the Customer Handbook. See Connectivity manuals on the Clearstream website. |
| Payment of proceeds | |
Proceeds are calculated based on the positions recorded at the close of business on the record date and paid to the customer's account upon successful receipt and reconciliation of funds. Proceeds will be paid with the value with which they are received. Funds under the Available for Cash Loan (ACL) concept, when applicable, are paid with good value. The payment method to be applied is reported via MT564 IPAR and Xact Web Portal IPAR. Interest and redemption proceeds from debt securities, warrants and unit trusts must be re-invested or repatriated same day. | i) Customers who have a holding position under pending settlement status on record date will not be entitled to gain benefit of corporate action/income entitlements from the issuers. These customers will receive compensation from the originating defaulted selling broker at the rate of 115% as financial benefits for corporate action/income entitlements. The TCH will facilitate to call the penalty at 115% from the defaulted selling broker to pay to the pending receiver as a compensation for financial benefits. The compensation shall be paid within 15 calendar days. The compensation for financial benefits, which the TCH will facilitate, will cover the following corporate events: dividend payments, interest payments, all privileges (for example, when the company announces more than one corporate action), principal payments (redemptions), rights issue, capital return, warrant exercise (last exercise) and other benefits in share subscription for existing shareholders (for example public offering, preferred shares subscription, right to subscribe shares of subsidiary company). The TCH, however, will not cover the following corporate events: meetings, transferable subscription rights (TSR) and bonus issues (the right to receive free warrant). The compensation for these event types must be directly negotiated between originating defaulted selling brokers and the customer. ii) When the issuer pays stock dividend (DVSE) together with cash dividend (DVCA) on the same ISIN, the issuer will usually deduct withholding tax on the DVSE from the DVCA paid. In this case, in relation to the DVCA, CBL shall send a MT568 to inform customers of such a situation. Whilst in relation to the DVSE, the related information would already be in the additional text of the MT564 notification. iii) For further details on entries qualified as ACL, please refer to the section “5.6 Financing: availability of funds” of the Customer Handbook. |
