AMERICAN MANGANESE INC. RECEIVES LEGAL ENTITY IDENTIFIER (LEI) FOR EUROPEAN UNION TRADE ASSURITY THROUGH GERMAN FIRM WM DATENSERVICE

American Manganese Inc. has been assigned legal entity identifier No. 5493005WVFCG4EGQEN69 through registration with WM Datenservice. The European Union has adopted regulations that require use of the LEI as a barcode equivalent aimed at reducing risks to investors.

What is the global legal entity identifier (LEI)?

The legal entity identifier is an internationally standardized and globally valid identifier for participants in the financial market and serves to unambiguously identify business partners (such as companies, banks or investment funds) and to fulfill certain reporting obligations to supervisory authorities. What is new in comparison with existing systems is the global solution across all countries, markets and legal systems. The global adoption of a unified legal entity identification system is expected to reduce costs for businesses, as well as the financial market as a whole, improve risk management and promote transparency in the financial markets.

American Manganese meets the requirement for all companies listed on German Stock Exchanges (such as Frankfurt Stock Exchange) to have an LEI number by Jan. 3, 2018.

According to the website of the Deutsche Borse Group, the LEI number will affect most aspects of the securities markets in Europe, including trading, clearing, settlement, custody, collateral and liquidity management, market data, and indices.
