Impact Assessment

The corporate actions will temporarily restrict SLB activity in 23 securities during their respective shut periods. This may impact liquidity in the SLB segment and require position adjustments by market participants. Borrowers holding positions in these securities must plan for early closure or rollover to avoid forced buy-ins. The staggered timing of shut periods throughout September should minimize concentrated market impact.

Impact Justification

Regular corporate action announcements affecting SLB participants with multiple dividend distributions scheduled over September 2025
