Investor Compensation Scheme • Supervision of the Investor Compensation Scheme and the functions of licensing and potentially penalising brokerage businesses that are scheme participants are performed by the Financial Supervision Authority. • The function of the Investor Compensation Scheme is to provide additional protection of investor assets managed by licensed investment firms where all investment firm precautionary procedures and supervision systems fail in offering full protection to investors. • KDPW administers and manages the resources of the system. • The Investor Compensation Scheme pays out 100% of covered investors’ assets up to the PLN equivalent of EUR 3 thousand plus 90% of any surplus over that limit, however, not more than the PLN equivalent of EUR 22 thousand. • In practice, the maximum compensation now available is EUR 20,100 as the Investor Compensation Scheme pays out only 90% of any surplus over EUR 3,000.

KDPW_CCP KDPW_CCP is a modern clearing house, which clears transactions using a range of mechanisms ensuring systemic mitigation of counterparty default risk. CHARACTERISTICS: Separate legal entity In line with international standards, due to the different risks of CCP clearing house services and risks of the core business of the central securities depository (KDPW), a separate legal entity had to be set up to provide clearing house services: KDPW_CCP. Guarantee of the clearing of trade based on CCP capital An important feature of KDPW_CCP is that its capital can be used in the clearing guarantee system, which improves the safety of clearing. KDPW_CCP has a capital of PLN 200 million, which can be used in the clearing guarantee system as one of its resources.
Role of the Central Counterparty - CCP The central counterparty (CCP) becomes a buyer to the seller and a seller to the buyer. Typical trade: CCP as a counterparty: SELLER BUYER SELLER CCP as BUYER CCP as SELLER BUYER

Trade Repository in Polish Legislation • According to the amendment of the Act on Trading in Financial Instruments effective as of 4 August 2012 (Article 48.5a), the National Depository for Securities may – under the rules set out in separate regulations – operate a trade repository, i.e., activities involving the collection and storage of information concerning trade in financial instruments and information concerning such instruments.
KDPW Trade Repository • A trade repository is a set of information which fulfils the requirements of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories. • The KDPW Trade Repository became operational on 2 November 2012. • It operates under the Trade Repository Rules approved by the KDPW Management Board. • Once the European Commission has approved the technical standards, the trade repository’s regulations and IT tools will be harmonised with the requirements of the standards. • At the turn of Q1 and Q2 2013, KDPW will file for the registration of the trade repository by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) under the requirements of EMIR.
