TMX GROUP AND CLEARSTREAM ANNOUNCE PLANS TO LAUNCH NEW CANADIAN COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE

TMX Group Ltd. and Clearstream Banking SA, the international central securities depository of Deutsche Borse Group, plan to launch a new, automated Canadian collateral management service, or CCMS. Together, TMX Group and Clearstream are working to leverage the combined strength of their complementary services to develop and deliver the CCMS, which will include the introduction of Canada's first domestic triparty repo capability.

"We are pleased to work together with Clearstream, a world leader in posttrade infrastructure and securities services in pursuit of a customized mobility and liquidity solution for Canada's secured finance industry," said John McKenzie, chief executive officer of TMX Group. "In keeping with our purpose to make markets better and empower bold ideas, TMX is firmly committed to seeking out innovative, workable solutions to client challenges and strengthening Canada's financial ecosystem. The new CCMS will enable our clients to better meet the continuously evolving collateral requirements of today's markets, while supporting the growth of repos as an investment product for Canadian buy- and sell-side clients."

Sam Riley, chief executive officer of Clearstream Securities Services, added: "It is at the heart of Clearstream's collateral management strategy to provide our clients with reliable and scalable state-of-the-art solutions that reduce the frictional costs of trading through transparency and automation. In TMX, we have found an excellent partner to deliver our proven first-class triparty repo capability to the Canadian market. CCMS will deliver increased liquidity and efficiency while minimizing exposures, supporting the Canadian market on its endeavour to move to T+1. Clients will also benefit from Clearstream's industry-leading technology and digital innovation, such as the cloud-based, digital collateral schedule capability known as Oscar."

Targeted for launch in the third quarter of 2023, the new CCMS will facilitate optimization and collateralization of securities finance activities throughout the Canadian market.

The initial phase of the CCMS will be offered to market participants in Canada's secured financing market, providing an automated and efficient process throughout the transaction cycle. The CCMS will also support the industry shift to a T+1 settlement cycle for the Canadian and U.S. markets in 2024 to promote increased efficiencies and collateral mobility while reducing operational risk.

To celebrate the collaboration, executives from TMX and Clearstream will close the market at the TMX Market Centre on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at 4 p.m. ET.

For market closes: Media may pick up a feed from the TOC (television operations centre) for all market close ceremonies. The feed is named TSX Transmit 1 (HD-SDI) and is produced at the TMX Market Centre and sent live to the TOC. To pick up the feed through the Dejero network, please contact avservices@tmx.com. The client feature video will begin playing on the TMX media wall at approximately 3:59 p.m. ET, and the markets will close with the sound of a siren at 4 p.m. ET.
