CORRECTION: IT – INET Nordic – Reminder: Nasdaq Nordic introduces new market segments for instruments classed as securitized derivatives and transfers these to First North (60/17)

As previously communicated in the IT notice 55/17 , Nasdaq Nordic is planning to transfer the existing market segments for warrants and certificates on the Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm regulated markets to respective First North Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) operated by Nasdaq. The transfer is planned to be completed in a three step process where the new market segments under respective First North MTFs will be available in production on mid November 2017. A migration period for moving a limited set of existing instruments for verification will follow and as of December 1, 2017, trading will continue on the new market segments under First North in Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm. This effectively means that the last day of trading in warrants and certificates on the existing market segments on the regulated market will be November 30, 2017. Please find the detailed time schedule further down in this notice. The transfer of these products to First North is pending regulatory approval. 

 

Background

Regulation (EU) no. 600/2014 on Markets in Financial Instruments [MIFIR] has introduced, under Article 29, the clearing obligation for derivatives traded on the markets by requiring the regulated market operator to ensure that all derivative transactions concluded on the regulated market are centrally cleared by a Central Counterparty (CCP). MTFs do not fall within the scope of Article 29 and allow the current regulatory framework applicable to these financial instruments and their issuers to remain unchanged as well as the same operating characteristics in place today and similar protection for investors.

Due to the above reasons Nasdaq Nordic will close the regulated market for Securitized Derivatives (Warrants and Certificates) and at the same time launch a substitute market under the respective First North MTFs (First North Denmark, First North Finland, First North Sweden). The new market will have the same characteristics in terms of issuers’ obligations, in terms of rules for member participation and trading functionalities.

 

INET identifiers:

Current market segments will be permanently closed at the end of the trading day on November 30, 2017. The trading will continue on the new market segments on First North MTFs as of 1 th of December.
