11. 11 How CLS Works 06:30 07:0009:0012:00 Submitting Instructions Funding & settlement Funding completion

12. 12 Instructions submitted Instructions submitted

13. 13 Settlement Commences at 07.00 CET and is scheduled to complete at 09.00 CET. Risk Management Tests applied to both Settlement Members. Real-time exchange of currencies i.e. CLS Bank will not settle the trade unless both parties have the required funds available. Exchange is effected with finality & irrevocability for Settlement Members over their accounts with CLS Bank Haircut (volatility margin) applied to Settlement Member’s currency balances to minimise credit risk for CLS Bank.

14. 14 Risk Management Tests CLS Bank applies three tests to each Settlement Member’s account before settling individual instructions or paying out funds –Will both Settlement Members still be within the currency Short Position Limit? –Will both Settlement Members still be within their Aggregate Short Position Limit? –Will either Settlement Member’s account become negative after settlement? No instructions will settle if any of the six tests fail.

15. 15 Funding CLS Central Bank Accounts

16. 16 Pay-In Schedule Multilateral net amount of Settlement Member’s obligations on a given value date. Short position currencies to be paid in over a period of 5 hours (3 hours for Asia Pacific currencies) commencing at 07.00 CET. Long position currencies to be paid out by CLS Bank.

18. 18 Algorithm seeks to make recycle liquidity throughout the process within risk parameters CLS Bank checks that a Settlement Member is entitled to receive funds, and that funds are available in the Central Bank account before paying out If Member has unsettled instruction, its pay-out will be adjusted to retain sufficient value to settle irrespective of large intra-day FX move. No amount will be paid-out that will cause the settlement member’s account to have an overall negative balance. Pay-outs
