OTC derivative contracts should be reported to trade repositories. Non- centrally cleared contracts should be subject to higher capital requirements.

9 Clifford Chance Mandatory clearing of eligible OTC derivatives using central counterparties Clearing Mandatory execution of sufficiently liquid OTC derivatives on trading platforms Trading Reporting of all OTC derivatives to trade repositorie Regulators access to data Reporting Minimum requirements for margining of uncleared OTC derivatives Margining Timely confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, portfolio compression, dispute resolution for uncleared OTC derivatives Risk mitigation Pre- and post-trade access to individual quote and trade data Transparency Key elements of the reforms

10 Clifford Chance EMIR: illustrative implementation timeline Estimated start dates for these obligations. 10 Russia Derivatives 2013 – Global derivatives markets MiFID2/MiFIR: transparency, platform trading, position limits, etc.* First CCPs authorised:* Clearing member obligations Frontloading Margining uncleared trades* 15 September 2013 Portfolio reconciliation Portfolio compression Dispute resolution 15 March 2013 Confirmations Daily valuation NFC+ reporting Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q1 20132014 Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q3Q4Q1Q2Q1 201520162017 Summer 2014 First clearing obligation starts* 3 year phase-in for NFC+s Risk mitigation for non-EU to non-EU trades* CRD4/CRR: capital rules Reporting OTC trades to TRs* Reporting ETD trades to TRs*

11 Clifford Chance BCBS-IOSCO final margin framework: universal two-way margin system 11 Russia Derivatives 2013 – Global derivatives markets Zero threshold for variation margin* All covered entities engaging in uncleared derivatives must exchange on a bilateral basis full amount of variation margin (i.e. zero threshold) on a regular basis (e.g.daily). Start date 1 December 2015. Maximum 50 million threshold for initial margin* All covered entities engaging in uncleared derivatives must exchange on a bilateral basis initial margin with a threshold not to exceed 50 million. Threshold applies at level of consolidated group to which the threshold is being extended and is based on all uncleared derivatives between the two groups (groups choose how to allocate among group entities) Start date 1 December 2015, but phased in over period to 1 December 2019 starting with largest users At the end of phase-in, a consolidated group will have to have a minimum level of OTC derivatives business (at least 8 billion total gross notional value) in order to be subject to initial margin requirements. Covered entities All financial entities and systemically important non-financial entities (defined by national rules). Excluding sovereigns, central banks, multilateral development banks and BIS. National discretion to exclude inter-affiliate transactions. Foreign branches of banks subject to home or host state rules. Group home state supervisor may choose to recognise.margin regime applicable to foreign subsidiaries if equivalent. Covered transactions All non-centrally cleared derivatives entered into between covered entities. Exclude physically settled FX forwards and swaps but these are included in calculating trigger levels for phase in of initial margin requirements and national discretion for supervisory guidance/rules on variation margin. Initial margin for cross-currency swaps do not apply to the fixed physically settled exchange of FX principal. *Margin transfers can be subject to a minimum transfer amount not exceeding 500,000

12 Clifford Chance Different pace of reform around the world US, EU, BRICs, Asia Clearing, reporting, margining vs. trading, transparency Scope issues Instruments: e.g. FX, physical commodities and securities Entities: e.g. treatment of end-users, intra-affiliate trades, pension funds, central banks Margining of uncleared trades Initial margin and collateral thresholds Extraterritoriality and overlapping, conflicting rules Different approaches to territorial nexus e.g. location of counterparties, arranger, transaction underlying Extra-territorial application of licensing rules Regulation of CCPs and trade repositories Points of difference

13 Clifford Chance Key techniques Recognition of non-domestic CCPs and trade repositories subject to equivalent regimes Relief from overlapping or conflicting rules by substituted compliance, equivalence Issues as to reciprocity, concerns as to creation of loopholes OTC Derivatives Regulators Group Equivalence assessments should be flexible, outcomes based approaches Stricter rule approach to address gaps in mandatory clearing or trading requirements Consultation on equivalence assessments and mandatory clearing determinations Aim to remove barriers to reporting to trade repositories and regulators access to data Transitional measures and reasonable transition period for foreign entities For further discussion: Authorities access to registrants information Treatment of guaranteed subsidiaries and foreign bank branches Resolution of cross-border conflicts 13 Russia Derivatives 2013 – Global derivatives markets

14 Clifford Chance Restriction on banks derivatives capacity Client and bank response may result in regional booking silos Reduction in product range Increased barriers to entry for smaller market participants Increasing importance of CCPs Focus on financial stability issues and market structure Possible new market entrants: shadow banks Winners and losers Market outcomes 14 Russia Derivatives 2013 – Global derivatives markets
