Capital Distribution (CAPD)

SFTR Report - NONE | Corporate Action Cluster - Economic outside SFT | Cash Move - Y>

SFTR Report - NONE | Corporate Action Cluster - Economic outside SFT | Cash Move - Y

Description:
The Corporate event pays shareholders an amount in cash issued from the Capital account. There is no reduction to the face value of a single share (or the share has no par value). The number of circulating shares remains unchanged.

Best Practice:
For cash payments which do not affect the open SFT, the beneficial counterparty is contractually due payment in full on pay date. If payment is not received, counterparties should raise a query on pay date + 1.

A claim needs to submitted via email as soon as possible after announcement date in order for a payment to be made, the minimum field list for claims can be found https://www.islaemea.org/isla-best-practice-handbook/subsection/COAC-141/" target="_blank">here.

If payments are not made on pay date the recipient counterparty should provide a valid reason for non-payment.

In addition to reviewing Contract Compare prior to and on pay date, Contract Compare should be checked on pay date+1 to ensure newly created positions are reconciled. Any differences need to be escalated to counterparties immediately. (COAC-30)
