Early redemptions

Settlement transactions over the Bridge will not be presented for settlement between the beginning (00:45) and the end of day of the drawing day.

Standard reporting. For voluntary and mandatory events, CBL informs customers, on an "as and if received" basis, of unscheduled securities events occurring on account holdings. | No specific deviations from the standard provided by CBL apply to the Danish market. |

These options include, but are not limited to, put options, conversions, exercises of warrants, exchanges, detachment of warrants etc. | Customers are requested to instruct within the deadlines and/or procedures specific to each type of event.

Proxy Voting procedures
Proxy voting services are available in CBL for this market.
Customers that want to vote at general meetings (physically or by proxy) must instruct CBL to register their shares in the name of the beneficial owner prior to the general meeting's record date as defined by the respective company. The re-registered shares must be transferred to a separate VP account.
For details about the proxy voting services offered by CBL, please refer to the CBL Customer Handbook and, for the market specific practices, please refer to the Market Profile - Denmark.
Transaction management
Please refer to Transaction management - Denmark.
Cum/ex indicator and opt out indicator
In line with the new T2S functionalities, unless otherwise specified, the cum/ex indicator or opt out indicator can be used on the original settlement instructions as follows (for example, if the automatic compensation or transformation should not be applied by VP and Clearstream Banking). Customers should note that the fields are additional matching fields, that is matching values must be provided by both counter parties. For further details on the indicators and services available, please refer to the section “Additional matching fields” above.
Buyer protection
In line with the CA market standards (CAJWG), the T2S CA standards do not impose VP to implement buyer protection functionality. However if applied by the issuer CSD, it could be either:
- an automated buyer protection functionality in accordance with agreed market standards; or
- a manual buyer protection mechanism, via a bilateral agreement between the respective counterparties by means of a manual process (no intervention of the market infrastructure regarding the exchange of buyer protection instructions).
If the issuer CSD offers a buyer protection service, it will handle the execution of the buyer protection and take actions on the underlying transaction (Hold / cancellation / transformation).
Note: It has now been confirmed that no automated buyer protection services will be offered by VP and will therefore not be offered by Clearstream Banking.
