Cost Basis Reporting DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 17
Cost Basis Reporting The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 contains requirements for financial intermediaries to perform cost basis reporting. The requirements will be phased in over a three year period beginning in 2011. The effective dates of these phases are as follows: January 1, 2011 for securities transactions (e.g, equities) January 1, 2012 for mutual funds and dividend reinvestment plans January 1, 2013 for financial instruments such as debt securities and options DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 18
Cost Basis Reporting – Key Challenges Recordkeeping Existing systems will need to be enhanced to record and store basis information, including bifurcating books to distinguish between positions acquired pre and post legislation effective date. Upgrading Calculation Algorithms and Affected Systems Enhancements begin with upgrades to cost basis calculators to be compliant with the new regulations and can extend into many other systems DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 19
Cost Basis Reporting - Key Challenges Account Transfers Financial intermediaries systems’ also require the ability to transfer and receive cost basis information on any financial transactions that involve the transfer or movement of a security from one financial intermediary to another. Corporate Action Data Issuers will be required to provide a description of the action, the quantitative effect on basis and contact information, within 45 days of the action.

Cost Basis – DTCC Role Account Transfers Several industry committees are working with DTCC to define business requirements Input from transfer agents, SIFMA account transfer group, mutual funds Cost Basis Reporting Service (CBRS) will be expanded as the “hub” for the industry Corporate Action Data Possible opportunity to assist issuers in announcement area DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 21
Improving Issuer to Investor Communications Corporate Actions DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 22
Statement of Direction (DTCC, SWIFT and XBRL US) The goal is to promote straight‐through processing (STP) of information from issuers through to investors and substantially reduce the market risks and costs associated with the corporate action announcement process. To meet this goal DTCC, SWIFT and XBRL US have joined forces to improve issuer to investor communications for corporate action announcements in the U.S. market: XBRL will be implemented to enable issuers and offerors to identify (“tag”) key corporate actions data in offering documents; XBRL tags used by issuers and offerors will be kept fully aligned with the data dictionary used by the industry under the ISO 20022 global standard, and DTCC will adopt the ISO 20022 global standard for corporate action messages to U.S. market participants DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 23
Why the Focus on Corporate Actions? Corporate Actions continues to be one of the most risky and costly areas in financial services Estimated billions in losses due to misinterpretation of data Limitations in the Current Corporate Actions Messaging Standards E.g. Incomplete list of Event Types and Required Data No Unique Identifier for the event Inefficient dissemination of data Inefficient Regulation DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 24
Why Should You Care? Your Shareholders Suffer Intent of offer is subject to misinterpretation and errors due to manual manipulation of data Offer details are not always disseminated timely Compressed timeframes for elections Higher transaction fees for investor due to manual processing DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 25

Why Now? The Perfect Storm Customer Pressure With the need to do ‘more with less’, there is customer demand for solutions that offer high STP, that align with standards and that use a universal ‘unique ID’ Financial Market Turmoil Industry Initiatives Converging on ISO 20022 Perfect Storm XBRL Maturity With the economic down turn, there is an increased focus to reduce the risks and improve transparency through any means possible, including increased regulation SWIFT is driving the next generation standard, ISO 20022 which builds upon the success of ISO 15022, and DTCC’s ‘CA Re-engineering’ project will service the entire US market, will use new ISO 20022 messages in favor of its existing legacy files XBRL has been institutionalized with the SEC mandate for the GAAP quarterly financial reporting, and with the replacement of EDGAR with XBRL-based IDEA system. XBRL for CAs, based upon ISO20022, is a solution for issuers to electronically tag data within reports directly at the source. Enforcement may be garnered via regulatory mandate DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 27
Step 1- Drive the ‘next generation’ industry standard for corporate actions ISO 20022 creation Current ISO 15022 standards, in its present form, does not cover all CA event types, does not cover all necessary data elements and is ‘too flexible’ SWIFT Standards, infrastructure providers and Market Practice Groups are actively working with ISO to implement the next generation standard, ISO 20022 The standard will be global, all-encompassing and holistic. Missing data elements will be added, and there are a handful of structural, or level, changes that will be needed ISO 20022 enforcement DTCC will become an early adopter of ISO 20022 as part of ‘CA Re-engineering’ – a major, multi-year, project spanning announcements, elections to payments Enforcement of the standard will be achieved as existing legacy files will be decommissioned on, or before, 2015, after running in parallel with the new ISO messages DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 28
Step 2- Implement a registration system to issue a ‘Unique ID’ and allow additional validation Unique ID DTCC will create a ‘unique ID’ process to explicitly label all corporate action announcements from the beginning, thus eliminating ambiguity in the ‘update’ process and the identification of an event between all parties It will act in the same way that static security data is referenced, e.g. ISIN We will build a registration system which will issue a Unique ID as part of the XBRL process Additional validation for the Issuer The XBRL taxonomy will map with the ISO 20022 standard and, as such, automatically includes some validation, e.g. data types The registration system will allow for additional validation, if needed by the Issuer, e.g. are rates within historical norms and are dates logical Validation exceptions will be flagged back to the issuer before allowing dissemination of the event to the open market DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 29
Step 3- Drive issuer-based data tagging with XBRL The XBRL revolution DTCC is driving the implementation of XBRL for corporate actions, enabling issuers to electronically ‘tag’ data from within MS Word, when preparing the source document The tagged data is ‘embedded’ within the saved pdf or doc file The issuer, as they write the press release or prospectus, follows the same process as they do today, except that they tag the key data DTCC, SWIFT Standards and ISO are working with XBRL US to seamlessly align XBRL taxonomy with ISO 20022 XBRL enforcement DTCC, SWIFT and XBRL US will leverage the expanding adoption of XBRL in the US, a result of the SEC mandate for GAAP quarterly financial reporting starting with the largest 500 public companies in June 2009, to promote the implementation of the XBRL corporate actions taxonomy DTCC Confidential DTCC Confidential 30
