11. 300 page S-4 SEC Paper Filing Tagged and Structured Data XBRL enables free text to be structured to the ISO standard and enables electronic dissemination Highlight the text then drag & tag the data element

12. Our roadmap is phased with milestones to reduce implementation risk. We have already started Phase I All DTC-specific data elements for payments incorporated into new platform Phase IIa Corporate actions announcements Pilot with ISO 20022 & new customer interface Phase IIb XBRL Interface into DTCC for dividend announcements Phase III End-to-end lifecycle for distributions events covering announcements and processing, including unique ID Phase IV End-to-end lifecycle for redemption events covering announcements and processing, including unique ID Phase V End-to-end lifecycle for reorg events covering announcements and processing, including unique ID Phase VI All DTC and GCA proprietary files and ISO 15022 files will be retired Oct 09 Apr 11 Q4 11 2012 2013 2015 or sooner
