Motivation for CSD offering Tri-Party Collateral Management Services 5 | 5 A Central Securities Depository is: a trusted third-party, independent and self contained, of a different risk profile, neutral (never a counterpart to a trade), holder of sacrosanct dematerialised records for various asset classes available as collateral. Facilitates the processing of Corporate Actions and Capital Events

Different offices/ divisions/systems Different instruments Managed by different people, with different agendas Complex collateral relationships Current South African Collateral Market 6 Traders want the best results at the best price Risk managers want to minimise risk and keep the firm safe from loss Securities Treasury Lending Risk Credit Asset Management Unsecured Loans Over-The- Counter (OTC) Repos On Market Derivatives Securities Lending and Borrowing Bi-Lateral cash loans Secured loans Syndicated loans Collateral allocation must come from a central pool DEF ABC Many manual interventions (use of Excel is prolific) Issues exist around processing Corporate Actions in collateral substitutions

Tri-Party Collateral Solution Third Party Collateral Manager Bank Posting Collateral Tracking Collateral A tri-party system would be able to automatically and accurately: Regular collateral valuation Track all re-use of collateral. Provide daily reconciliation. Reduce exposure measure errors which will lower operational risk. Removing Internal and External Silos – enabling optimisation Centrally automating collateral management for the industry using a market-wide collateral pool enabling optimisation across all relationships Providing additional Asset Safety to investors, as assets are held directly in the CSD Tracking Collateral

Why Clearstream’s Liquidity Hub GO solution CSD continues to maintain the legal relationship with its customers; Collateral retained locally in the accounts of the underlying customers with the CSD; In a default or infrastructure interruption scenario, the perfection of collateral will always follow local rules and regulations; CSD becomes a sophisticated provider of collateral management services: assuming no principal risk Utilises white-labelled functionality independent of the CSD’s core settlement/custody systems; no contagion risk from the solution offering 24-hour service. | 8

Phased approach Phase 1 – using local dematerialised securities to collateralise local open financial exposures; Phase 2 – using foreign dematerialised securities to collateralise local open financial exposures; and Phase 3 – using local dematerialised securities to collateralise foreign open financial exposures. (Phases 2 and 3 in no order of priority) Benefit of the Liquidity Alliance will be exponential once phases 2 and 3 are implemented | 9

Benefits of the Liquidity Alliance (LA) Utilising a solution already successfully implemented and utilised by other CSDs; Clearstream’s experience in successful implementations in other markets; Sharing global insights, knowledge and experiences; Enabling cross-border collateral optimisation and collateral movements on a common platform; Economies of scale on required technology changes | 10
