DTCC Corporate Actions Reengineering Transition Plan BDUG Conference 2007

Reasons for Reengineering Furthering DTCC’s Corporate Action Strategy to help participants manage risk, reduce cost and achieve greater levels of STP globally while upgrading an aging system Alignment with industry standard event structure and naming conventions Support for various security numbering schemes, Global events and multi-currency entitlements and payments Establishment of platform for generation of single event ID for US markets ISO and XML Messages for Event lifecycle The existing domestic applications (totaling 60 systems) were implemented into production at various times since 1978 The application is very complex with over 4,000 programs and 12 million lines of code with portions written in assembler, and have become increasingly difficult to enhance

Our Approach Creation of a single announcement and processing engine, based on DTCC’s Global Corporate Action (WAVES) Announcement Event Driven architecture Unified screen view for Operations & clients, using the new event structure Continued utilization of Contra CUSIPs to segregate instructed positions to help maintain transparency, thereby limiting investment by industry Publication of announcement, entitlement, and payment information as outbound messages, in ISO15022 & XML. Instructions can also be submitted via ISO15022 & XML DTCC will continue to support existing legacy files which use function codes for all data transmissions for 2 years after the application is fully implemented

Guide to DTCC’s Corporate Actions Reengineering Transition Plan Summary of supporting documentation Summary of critical changes and enhancements including the continued utilization of Contra CUSIPs and support of legacy files Overview of the new file formats Delivery options for automated messages Introduction of the customer dashboard and other enhancements to address the current practice of screen scraping High level overview of the transition plan Communication plan

Summary of Critical Changes Event Structure Common structure Unique Event ID Single announcement Event-level Naming Changes New naming convention Introduction of sub-event type Enhanced Entitlement Processing Expanded rate field Additional data elements Instruction Processing Automated instruction processing Single instruction processor Payment Reporting Enhanced audit capabilities Allocations as gross entitlements

Message Delivery Options All data interfaces between DTCC customers and the new Corporate Action system will be via DTCC's Common Data Transfer System (CDTS) CDTS is a "server-to-server" message and file transport facility that supports the following functionality: Receives input data from DTCC customers and delivers to the appropriate business application Allows DTCC customers to subscribe to and retrieve output data from DTCC business applications using various subscription options CDTS provides DTCC customers with the option to transmit or receive their data over multiple protocols. Message can be sent via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) NDM (CONNECT:Direct, formerly Network DataMover) software MQ (IBM WebSphere MQ) SOURCE will introduce many new options that enable customers to customize the receipt and format of their interaction with DTCC

Customer Browser and Dashboard Features The new customer browser will contain a customer dashboard – a feature will provide customers with a personal home page that enables them to quickly identify important events. Key features include: Multiple views for reorganization, dividend, and redemption events Link for users to directly access DTCC's Liability Hub Scrolling broadcast message line “Events expiring today" section that reports intraday updates to critical fields and positions "Work item" section that identifies certain actions that a participant must take (e.g., approving instructions)

Reengineering and Screen Scraping Intra-day automated messages For all aspects of the corporate action event lifecycle Examples include intraday rate changes, allocations, and adjustments Firms can choose to retrieve this information and match up to internal systems for critical issues Customizable customer dashboard At the individual user level, firms will be able to customize the dashboard to highlight events that are close to expiration Download feature For various functions, DTCC will provide the user with the ability to download a set of search results into a spreadsheet format

Business/Operations Documentation Data Reference Guide For Event Types Revised version of the existing Reference Guide with a mapping of DTC’s legacy function codes, ISO event types, and GCA VS event types to the new event types Corporate Action Event Scenarios Approximately 65 event scenarios that describe the changes that will occur as a result of the new system Covers events across reorganizations, redemptions, and dividends with variations on common events

Technical Support Documentation Technical Specifications Guide Overview of how to best utilize all of the technical documentation Data Reference Guide For Fields Lists all of the fields in the new system including the following attributes: Parent Level Level Field Name Data Type ISO 15022 XML Tag Includes data dictionary for field definitions Contains the valid values for all announcement fields Transition Plan Details regarding the phased migration off of the existing system with external impacts and benefits File Field Mapping from Legacy to ISO/XML Mapping of current data fields an approximately 16 files currently available ISO & XML message specifications Revised versions of the specifications released at the end of 2006

Transition Plan Overview Transition Approach / Principles Multiple phases to allow incremental transition Supports staggered development and testing Allows earlier delivery of Global Announcement Capture component Minimize Risk Major phases with data migration / conversion during off-peak windows (Feb / Aug) Minimize time between phases to reduce cross-platform processing risk

CA SOURCE Processes Announcements Entitlements Response Capture Capturing and maintaining of event information Includes announcement collection and validation processes Entitlements Identifying eligible participant positions and calculating the entitlement Identification and notification stage of the life-cycle Response Capture Processing of all corporate action instructions Election processing stage in the life-cycle
