Discrepancy Resolution for Voluntary Corporate Action Deadlines

>

Status: Best Practice Finalised, Last Updated: 29/09/2021

Description:
Where there is a disagreement between the lender and borrower regarding the deadline of a voluntary corporate action, the following action should be taken.

Best Practice:
In normal circumstances, the lender should accept the borrower's proposed deadline for voluntary corporate actions. In the instance of a deadline discrepancy, the lender should issue a recall of the stock prior to the market deadline of the corporate action.

This return deadline needs to be within a reasonable frame and at least 24 hours prior to the market deadline to allow the borrowers sufficient time to return the stock. (COAC-149)
