KATEK SE: Conversion to registered shares and inclusion in CASCADE-RS
The bearer shares of KATEK SE (ISIN DE000A2TSQH7) will be converted on
2 September 2024
into registered shares of KATEK SE (ISIN DE000A40ET05) and included in CASCADE-RS.
Creation of holdings in registered shares
The creation of registered share positions as of the relevant conversion date will be carried out by Clearstream Banking AG1 in standard processing on 30 August 2024 for value date 2 September 2024 on the custody account balances and positions of open stock exchange transactions.
The positions in the registered shares of KATEK SE are created in Freier Meldebestand (FMB, unregistered positions). The order placement in CASCADE-RS is possible starting on 2 September 2024.
Securities market transactions and holding transfers in the registered shares of KATEK SE are first processed on 2 September 2024.
Pending instructions
Security transfers against payment that have been entered in CASCADE and are pending for settlement will also be converted. Security transfers free of payment that are flagged with match status "J" are converted as well.
Note: To ensure smooth processing of the settlement, manual conversion by clients must be avoided, especially of matched orders against payments. CBF will convert the transfer of securities against payment into the ISIN of the registered shares automatically in standard processing on 30 August 2024. Modifications and cancellations of orders in the ISIN of the bearer shares are possible at any time until the automatic conversion. CBF recommends only entering orders in the ISIN of the registered shares from 2 September 2024.
The non-matched securities transfers free of payment that are stored in CASCADE will be cancelled automatically by T2S after 20 banking days and must be re-entered by the participants into registered shares, if required.
Registration of shareholders in the share register
The registration of the shareholders in the share register of the issuer is implemented via the depository banks by re-registration in CASCADE-RS using the re-registration type "2" ("other not from purchase"). Information about the notification of the shareholders in the share register can be taken from the "Guidelines for banks on entering shareholder data in CASCADE-RS" (Announcement RS137).
Share register
The share register is managed by HV AG.
Note about submission planning
Due to the processing capacities in CASCADE-RS, submissions amounting to 10,000 re-registrations or more per transfer must be arranged in advance with Client Services. Within the scope of overall coordination, CBF reserves the right to reject file transfers that have not been arranged in advance.
Reimbursement
For re-registrations that are transmitted in the period from 2 to 6 September 2024, CBF charges a discounted price of EUR 0.30 per position. After this time period, CBF clients will be reimbursed accordingly.
