A. Introduction of Pair-Off-Service for C7 Securities Clearing Service (C7 SCS)
In response to feedback from market participants in the context of the introduction of C7 Securities Clearing Service (C7 SCS), Eurex Clearing is introducing a Pair-Off Service to provide Clearing Members with an opportunity to resolve opposing late securities transactions relating to the same securities and currency and pending at the settlement location (CBF, CBF(i), SIS) on the same settlement account.
In scenarios where settlement instructions with opposing delivery obligations between the Clearing Member and Eurex Clearing stay unsettled at the settlement location for several days, a risk arises that Eurex Clearing initiates a buy-in process in accordance with the Clearing Conditions. The Pair-Off Service allows Clearing Members to set-off such opposing delivery obligations so that sell transactions and buy transactions get cash-settled to avoid the buy-in.
B. Pair-Off Request Form
The Pair-Off is initiated by submitting the Pair-Off-Request Form on the Pair-Off Date, which is the Business Day on which a buy-in process for a late sell transaction would be initiated after settlement cut-off time for the first time. For shares falling under the ESMA Short Selling Regulation (SSR) this is the fourth Business Day after the Contractual Settlement Date, for other securities it is the fifth Business Day after the Contractual Settlement Date.
