Market specifics

Market claims are only detected and processed when the following conditions are met:

  • CAEV/CAMV: DVCA MANDa
  • Proceeds: Cash only
  • Detected underlying transaction is a “Cum tradeb”, i.e., trade date is before ex-date of a DVCA event.
  • Underlying transaction follows T+2 rulec, i.e., trade date + 2BD equals to Contractual settlement date.

  1. Underlying transactions involving events other than cash dividends are not detected/processed.
  2. Underlying transactions traded ex, i.e., reverse market claims are not detected/processed. They must be bilaterally agreed between the counterparties.
  3. c. Regarding external trades, The dividend payment is made through the VPS system but, in order to calculate the dividend entitlement, it is assumed that all trades settle on time (that is, on a T+2 basis).
    It is on this basis that the VPS system makes the disbursement of the dividend payment and any deviation from this will require manual amendment.
    If a T+2 trade has not settled on time, manual adjustments to the entitlement are possible in the VPS system. Manual adjustments done within the three days after the Record Date are based on the Trade Date. Cum-trades will be adjusted if settled within the relevant three days.
