6 Overview of Mandated Clearing No mandatory clearing until CFTC issues a mandate Any mandate must follow a notice and comment period Once issued, a clearing mandate only applies to those swaps that fit within the four corners of the mandate To date, no clearing mandate issued

7 CFTC Clearing Proposal CFTC has proposed to mandate clearing of several interest rate swaps and index CDS Comment period has ended Unclear when CFTC will issue the mandate, but likely soon Once mandated, clearing will be phased in

8 CFTC Phased Compliance Rules Cat 1 – Cat 1: 90 days Cat 2 – Cat 1 or 2: 180 days All others: 270 days Does not apply to swaps in which one of the parties relies on the end-user clearing exemption
