In light of the new OFAC sanctions, we have implemented measures to allow us to monitor that any activity in the impacted securities, takes place within the limits of permitted activities under these sanctions. Specifically, we have suspended automated processing of instructions on impacted securities, with settlement completed manually once the necessary due diligence checks have been performed.
As a financial market infrastructure, we have a responsibility in meeting the legal obligations for the markets we serve, a role that we take very seriously.
We decline to comment on any particular issuer or ISIN.
