A clearing batch may include obligations to be terminated and/or fulfilled using DVP model 2 or DVP model 3.

DVP SETTLEMENTS WITH CASH RESERVATION Clearing Participants are allowed to set a priority order for the execution of their clearing instructions for the receipt of securities (transaction code 19/1). Key Specifications Such instruction has a priority in respect of the bank account to be debited. The priority order starts to be taken into account on the settlement date of both matched and non-matched instructions. If there are several instructions with the same priority, they are queued on the firstcome, first-served basis, subject to the time of their registration. If the cash available is insufficient to execute the first instruction in the queue, the other instructions will not be executed. If there is no matching instruction available, other DVP2 and DVP3 instructions may be executed during the last clearing session; other DVP1 instructions may be executed after the launch time of the last clearing session. This mechanism applies to settlements through trading bank accounts held with NSD. To indicate that an instruction must be executed with cash reservation, the relevant box must be ticked in the instruction (Form MF190), or the code /RSVD/ must be used in the field :70E::SPRO// of the TRADDET block in an MT 541 message. 8

TOLERANCE PRINCIPLE (1/2) The application of a tolerance value allows to match and settle matching instructions if any minor differences have been found between the amounts stated in the matching instructions received from Clearing Participants. For matching instructions for which the tolerance values were specified: if the trade values stated in the matching instructions differ, then the trade value stated in the instruction issued by the Clearing Participant acting as the transferee of the securities will prevail. The trade value will be taken to be equal to: the trade value specified by the Clearing Participant acting as the transferee of the securities, if the difference between the trade values specified in the matching instructions does not exceed the tolerance value established by the transferor of the securities; or the trade value specified by the Clearing Participant acting as the transferor of the securities, if the difference between the trade values specified in the matching instructions does not exceed the tolerance value established by the transferee of the securities. If the tolerance value is established only for one of the matching instructions, the trade value shall be taken to be equal to that specified in the instruction of the Clearing Participant who did not establish a tolerance value, provided that the difference between the two trade values specified in the matching instructions does not exceed the tolerance value established by the other Clearing Participant. 9

TOLERANCE PRINCIPLE (2/2) A tolerance value shall be determined by each Clearing Participant at his own discretion and specified upon registration of bank account details. The maximum tolerance value* is USD 25 or RUB 800. The tolerance value must be stated in the account currency; otherwise, the tolerance value will not be applied. Examples: A s trade value: RUB 600 Securities B s trade value: RUB 500 1 A s tolerance value RUB 150 A s tolerance value 2 RUB 50 A s tolerance value 3 RUB 150 A s tolerance value 4 RUB 50 B s tolerance value RUB 150 B s tolerance value RUB 120 B s tolerance value not established B s tolerance value not established The difference between the trade values is RUB 100. As 100<150, the trade will be executed at the B s trade value of RUB 500. The difference between the trade values is RUB 100. As 100>50<120, the trade can be executed at the A s trade value of RUB 600 and cannot be executed at the B s trade value of RUB 500. Therefore, the trade will be executed at the A s trade value of RUB 600. The difference between the trade values is RUB 100. As 100<150, the trade will be executed at the B s trade value of RUB 500. The difference between the trade values is RUB 100. As 100>50, the trade will not be executed. * If a tolerance value is established in any other currency, it may not exceed the equivalent of USD 25 at the Bank of Russia s exchange rate effective on the date immediately preceding the execution date of the relevant bank account details registration instruction. 10

CURRENCY CONTROL Necessary to provide currency control documents* By residents (not credit organisations) going to effect settlement in a foreign currency By residents (not credit organisations) going to effect settlement in rubles with non-resident client Not necessary to provide currency control documents By non-resident clients By credit organisations *Transaction basement documents for DVP settlement via cash accounts with NSD should be submitted simultaneously with the DVP settlement instructions or in advance of the settlement date. For DVP settlement via cash accounts with foreign banks the client has to provide NSD only with a brokerage service agreement/agency agreement/accession agreement/ etc., confirming legal relationship between the foreign bank and the client only once in process of cash account details registration. 11

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 1. Why is it necessary to provide NSD with debit authority in respect of cash accounts opened with NSD? - For DVP deals via cash accounts with NSD as well as via cash accounts with foreign banks, the Client has to provide NSD with an authority to debit his accounts. As of internal DVP, NSD being Clearing institution conducting DVP netting has debit authority in respect of clients trading cash/securities accounts, but at the same time NSD s debiting authority is limited by carrying out only these functions. The client always has the right to submit instruction and debit his account if cash or particular securities (as for securities account) are not involved in current DVP settlement liabilities of the client. If the customer already has cash accounts with the Foreign Banks, he will need to complete and send the relevant documents to the Foreign Bank authorising NSD to operate the customer's account with the bank. 2. When should the client credit his accounts (cash and securities) with necessary amount of cash and securities? - At the time a deal is concluded, there is no need to have sufficient securities and/or cash in the accounts. The securities and cash needed to settle the deal must be available in the accounts on the settlement date stated in the instruction, 15 minutes in advance of the clearing session. 3. When DVP instructions will be executed? - Instructions will be executed on the settlement date specified in the instruction or on the date the pairs of instructions are matched, where one of the instructions is missing on the settlement date. Execution period for DVP instructions is 30 days from the settlement date. 4. Is it possible to avoid transliteration in DVP reports? - For DVP settlement NSD already does not require clients for transliteration and does not send reports with transliteration. 13
