1. Introduction

This document describes the contents of MCM/DCS OI v1.4.4E, which consists of changes to DCS/MCM that are required to implement the following two new features:

• Total Return Single Stock (TORESS) options

• Enhanced Protection

This is an optional release. The ASX supplied MCM 1.4.4E will be made available to Clearing Participants at no additional charge.

Please review Appendix F for non-functional changes.



2. TORESS Options

This section describes the changes required to support TORESS options.

2.1. Background

TORESS, or Total Return Single Stock Options, are a new Equity Derivative product to be introduced by ASX in 2015. They are call-only option products that reflect existing Exchange Traded Options (ETO) in all but two aspects:

• Dividends paid on the underlying stock will be paid by the Option Writer to the Option buyer

• All TORESS Options will be cash-settled only

TORESS Options will be available as 1c Low Exercise Price Option’s and 10c or 20c strike Exchange Traded Options.

2.2. Functional Overview

2.2.1. Features of TORESS Options

TORESS Options will have a unique ASX Code distinguishing them from existing Exchange Traded Options. The 3rd character of each underlying security will be denoted by an “8” within the 6-character code.

Example:

ANZVQ7 = Exchange Traded Option over ANZ

AN8EU9 = TORESS Option over ANZ

For options currently listed where the first two characters of the stock being the same, the below naming convention could be applied which will ensure that the code remains logical for trading purposes.

Name ETO Underlyer Code TORESS Underlyer Code

Amcor Ltd AMC AM8

AMP Ltd AMP AP8

Ansell Ltd ANN AN8

ANZ Ltd ANZ AZ8

CSL Ltd CSL CS8

CSR Ltd CSR CR8

Origin Energy Ltd ORG OG8

Orica Ltd ORI OR8

Sims Metal Management Ltd SGM SM8

Stockland Ltd SGP SG8

Woolworths Ltd WOW WW8

Woodside Petroleum Ltd WPL WO8

2.2.2. Trading

TORESS Options will trade on ASXTrade under the same grouping and methodology utilised for existing Exchange Traded Options.

2.2.3. Clearing

The Clearing process for TORESS Options will be similar to that of existing Exchange Traded Options with the following exceptions:

• TORESS Options will use a zero dividend yield in the option pricing model.



• Option writers will be called for dividend payments via the Daily Financial Statement. These

will be passed to Option buyers as part of the normal ASXClear Margin Settlement cycle.

2.2.4. Settlement Requirement

TORESS Options have the requirement for two cash payments as described in the following section.

Name Dividend Settlement

Div Settlement Schedule

Expiry Settlement

Expiry Schedule

TORESS Option Cash P+1 Cash E+1

TORESS LEPO Cash P+1 Cash E+1

2.2.4.1. Dividend Settlement

A feature of TORESS Options is that any ordinary dividends are adjusted via a cash transfer between the option seller and buyer. The buyer is entitled to dividends on the underlying security, settled via cash payment from the Option writer to the Option buyer.

Settlement for all dividend payments made between these two parties will be made in Australian currency (AUD) on a P+1 basis where P is the dividend payment date.

Dividends used to determine the size of any cash settlement will be obtained from the parent underlying. Cash payments/transfers of the dividend amounts will be made based on the positions on the morning of the ex-date (i.e. after EOD processing on the previous day) regardless of the expiry date (including Options with an expiry date between the ex-date and the payment date).

2.2.4.2. Expiry Settlement

A second feature of TORESS Options is that they are cash settled upon exercise as opposed to physically delivered as with standard Exchange Traded Options. Cash settlement is expected to

initially be on an E+1 settlement cycle.

2.2.5. Specific Cover

Rules relating to specific cover for standard Options will also apply to TORESS Options, such that BHP pledged as specific cover can be allocated to both BHP and BH8 options positions.

2.3. Technical Overview

The changes required to support the introduction of TORESS Options are:

• CME SPAN Configuration changes for new product families • A change to “DerivProd“ table to include TORESS options related information • A change to “PostingCode” table to introduce new posting codes for TORESS options • A new table “DividendPayable” to be introduced to provide details of the anticipated and

actual payments resulting from TORESS Options

Please refer to Appendix B for MCM database schema changes and Appendix C for CME SPAN configuration changes.



3. Enhanced Protection

This section describes the changes required to support Enhanced Protection, which consists of providing support for Account Specific Cash (ASC) collateral lodgement/withdrawal functionality and reports.

3.1. Background

As a condition of recent ESMA approval, as a recognised qualifying CCP, the RBA is requiring ASX Clear to meet certain account structure criteria under the Financial Stability Standards (FSS).

ASXCL already has in place a segregated account structure for customer ETO positions. ASXCL does not however, allow the Participant to lodge account specific cash, also known as Reserved Cash, in respect of a specific customer account. ASXCL is therefore required to make this cash lodgement facility available to clearing participants (to offer to their clients). Participants are not mandated to offer this facility to their clients (they may opt-in to offer it), and therefore this DCS/MCM release is optional.

3.2. Functional Overview

For Account Specific Cash, Participants can lodge multiple lodgement/withdrawal instructions during the day. DCS will consolidate the amount and expect the CP to provide this amount at EOD settlement. If CP has excess cash and there is ICA cash lodgement, ASX will attribute the CP excess cash to that ICA (any shortage will be settled by CP and any excess will be return to CP as per existing process).

E.g. If a CP lodges $1000 for ICA 1 and $ 3000 for ICA 2 then ASX will expect the CP to lodge $4000 as Reserved Cash at settlement. Similarly if CP lodges $2000 for ICA 1 and withdraw $1000 for ICA 2 then ASX will expect CP to lodge $1000 as reserved cash at settlement.

Reserved Cash and Excess Reserved cash will be shown separately on Daily Financial statement. Interest paid on Reserved cash utilised and excess reserved cash will have separate lines in Interest Statement.

From a Collateral Utilisation perspective, at ICA level, first ASC is utilised and then the non-cash collateral is utilised. ASC collateral will not be part of Group Cover. Any unutilised ASC will be attributed as Excess reserved cash for that ICA.

Participant’s margin shortfall will be adjusted by removing the Reserved Cash from the available cash balance.

3.3. Technical Overview

The changes required to support the introduction of Account Specific Cash are:

• A new DCS OI transaction “SendReservedCash” is added whereby a Participant can nominate an ASC amount for an account.

• A new column, “TodaysMove”, is added to the CollHeld Table to save the ASC movement for a business day.

• A new collateral type is introduced, “RC”, which will identify ASC for an ICA.

Please refer to Appendix D for DCS/MCM OI changes and Appendix E for database schema changes.

6. Appendix C - TORESS Options - CME SPAN Configuration

TORESS Options and the dummy equity underlyings will be created with new SPAN product families under the same SPAN combined commodity as the standard options. They will therefore be 100% off-settable against standard options and inherit the same SPAN PSR and VSR

parameters.

Using BHP as an example, the below table shows the existing and new TORESS product families

that will be within the BHP combined commodity.

Combined Commodity

SPAN Product Family

Stock EQUITY

BHP BH8A TORESS American Option OOS (option on equity)

9. Appendix F – Non Functional Changes to MCM

9.1.1. Changes to SOD Processing

The method used to copy MCM databases during SOD processing has been changed to remove the use of SQL backup and restore commands. This will allow for the reduction of the MCMAutoUser privilege requirements. The new method does not require exclusive database access. This will resolve the problem where SOD stalls due to a process having a read only connection still established to the database.

9.1.2. Review of Security

A review of MCM security will be carried out with the goal of: • Removing sensitive information from log files.

9.1.3. Support for SQL Server 2012

The MCMDBSetup utility will be enhanced to support creation of SQL 2012 MCM databases. This release will be tested with both SQL 2008 and 2012 MCM installations. Note:

No changes will be made to the application to take advantage of any features new to SQL Server 2012.
