Impact Assessment

Operational Impact: Medium - Members and custodians must carefully manage ISIN transitions during the settlement period to ensure correct margin exemption benefits. The requirement to use old ISIN without adjusting for conversion ratio (1:5) requires precise calculation and execution.

Market Impact: Low to Medium - Limited to AGIIL stock; affects trading members, custodians, and PCMs executing early pay-in for margin benefits. Proper execution ensures smooth settlement and margin treatment during the corporate action period.

Client Impact: Clients benefiting from early pay-in margin exemption must ensure their brokers/custodians follow correct procedures with appropriate ISIN codes for the transition period.

Impact Justification

Operational circular affecting settlement procedures for single stock undergoing face value split; requires specific pay-in actions by members and custodians on designated dates to ensure proper margin treatment
