20. Existing standards • ISIN International securities identification numbering system(ISO 6166)provides a uniform structure for a number, known as the lSIN, that uniquely identifies fungible financial instruments. Financial instruments subject to ISIN allocation include equities, debt instruments, entitlements (rights and warrants) and other instruments. • At present a revised version of the ISO Standard 6166 is in ISO voting process (deadline: July 15, 2008) The ISIN consists of - a prefix using the alpha-2 country code - the basic number, which is nine characters in length - a check digit Example DE0007100000 DaimlerChrysler AG 

21. Existing standards • CFIClassification of Financial Instruments (ISO 10962)The CFI code system provides a set of codes which can be used by all market participants in an electronic data processing environment and permits electronic communication between participants. • New version is in final ISO voting process Structure - The CFI reflects characteristics that are defined when a financial instrument is issued and remains unchanged during its entire lifetime. - The CFI consists of six alphabetical characters - The first character indicates the highest level of classification (categories) the second is the group, and the remaining letters show special attributes of the group.

22. Existing standards • MIC Market Identifier Code (ISO 10383) specifies a universalmethod of identifying exchanges, trading platforms and regulatedor non-regulated markets as sources of prices and relatedinformation in order to facilitate automated processing.The code consists of four alphabetical characters. 4 Examples The following are examples of exchange/market identifier codes (MIC): - XPAR (NYSE Euronext - Euronext, Paris) - XMAT (Euronext – MATIF, Paris) - XMON (Euronext – MONEP, Paris) - EMTS (EuroMTS, London) Regular updates are available via the ANNA homepage www.anna-web.com

23. Standards in preparation • FISN Financial Instrument Short Name (ISO 18774)has been developed to provide a consistent and uniformapproach to standardize short names for financial instruments. The FISN incorporates the issuer short name and the abbreviated characteristics for the financial instrument. It has a maximum length of 35 alphanumeric characters. The FISN is composed of: - an issuer name with a maximum length of 15 alphanumeric characters. To ensure uniformity, the same issuer short name should be used for different financial instruments of the same issuer. - a “/” as the delimiter between issuer name and instrument description an instrument description with a maximum length of 19 alphanumeric characters, assuming that the available length of the issuer name has been fully used. In the event that all the 15 characters have not been used in the issuer short name, the remaining space may be used to describe the characteristics of the financial instrument. - The FISN shall be assigned upon issuance of the related financialinstrument together with ISIN (ISO 6166) and CFI (ISO 10962).

24. Standards in preparation • IBEI International Business Entity Identifier(ISO 16372)ISO has developed the IBEIfor unambiguous entities identification, in particular with respect tocross-border business activities. The IBEI is a standardized code, which is allocated to legal entities (branches will not get an IBEI). The IBEI consists of 10 characters decomposed as follows: - a prefix which is the alpha-2-country-code specified in ISO 3166, - the basic identifier, made of 7 alphanumeric characters (digits and uppercaseletters to the exclusion of vowels *), and - a check digit, computed using the modulus 10 “Double-Add-Double” formula The IBEI structure allows identifying up to 21 870 000 000 business entities per country. ExampleDEXBC823N0 Where: DE Country code for Germany XBC823N Basic identifier 0 Check digit computed using modulus 10 “Double-Add Double” * Vowels are defined as A, E, I, O, U and Y inclusive
