Compliance Requirements

  • Trading members must inform all clients about the commencement of RE trading, including the ISIN, and clarify that REs are not ordinary shares of the company
  • A prominent disclaimer must be included in contract notes/bills for RE purchases, stating that purchase of REs only confers the right to participate in the Rights Issue or renounce before closing

Impact Assessment

This notice is relevant primarily to existing shareholders of EFC(I) Limited who have been allotted Rights Entitlements. Trading members handling these clients must update their compliance communications and contract note templates. The trade-for-trade, T+1 settlement mechanism reduces counterparty risk. The narrow 6-day renunciation window (May 13-18) requires prompt action from rights holders wishing to sell their entitlements in the secondary market.

Impact Justification

Routine rights entitlement trading notification affecting only EFC(I) Limited shareholders eligible for the rights issue; limited broader market impact.
