  2. Framework SECURITIES BORROWING AND LENDING (SBL) • There are currently two SBL models; • SBL – Central Lending Agency (SBLCLA) Model where the Clearing House acts as the central lending agency for all SBL activities. • SBL – Negotiated Transaction (SBLNT) that offers an option to borrow and lend on an over-the-counter (OTC) basis.

  4. Recent Changes in SBL • New Regulation and Withholding From Buying-in Facility • i) The introduction of a new Regulation to allow Sale before Recall • In general, a person must not sell securities unless he has reasonable grounds to believe he has a right to vest the securities in a purchaser. • A new Regulation was introduced on 9 January 2012 which allows SBL lenders to sell the loaned securities before recalling the loaned securities from the borrower provided the sale of the loaned securities is settled on the settlement date (T+3). • The introduction of Withholding From Buying-in Facility • The obligation to deliver the shares by Lender for the “Sell” transaction is on T+2, whereas the Loan Return arising from a recall can only be initiated by a SBL Borrower on T+3 when the securities purchased from the market are credited into his account. This will result in Lenders being unable to deliver for the “Sell” transaction on T+2. • The following diagram gives an illustration of this process: Page 6

  5. Recent Changes in SBL (Continued) What happens with the introduction of the Withholding From Buying-in Facility? This facility is to provide SBL Lenders to withhold their sell transaction from being bought-in when the SBL loaned securities is sold and recalled on the same day. The withholding from buying-in will be effective for one (1) business day only (T+3). The following diagram gives an illustration of the withholding from buying-in process: The introduction of the Withholding From Buying-in Facility was implemented to the 2 SBL systems on the following dates: SBLNT - 13 January 2012; and SBLCLA - 30 March 2012.

  6. Recent Changes in SBL (Continued) • Exemption of Substantial Shareholding Reporting • Substantial shareholding reporting is a requirement when an investor has an interest of 5% or more of the aggregate (total) voting shares in a company. • As SBL is deemed to be a loan the Companies Commission of Malaysia has exempted this reporting requirement for Lenders. • 3. Liberalisation of Criteria for Eligible/Approved Securities for SBL and RSS • With this liberalisation, there is a remarkable increase in the number of Eligible/Approved Securities for SBL and RSS, from 100 previously to 218 currently. • Permitted An Approved Reasons For Transfer Arising From Corporate Actions • This permits a borrower to return the relevant securities received arising from corporate actions back to lender under the No Change In Beneficiary Owner approved reasons. • Publication on the Exchange website • Daily RSS trades are currently published on the Bursa Malaysia’s website
