  11. NCC Treasury performance using online real-time express transfer system - ORTET. Conducting oftreasury operations using ORTETallows to: - obtain real-time information on state of correspondent account, on the amount of the set limit of intraday credit and overnight credit, and as a consequence,plan cash flows more precisely; - significantly mitigate liquidity risk and credit risk; • increase payments transfer speed; • real-time payments transfer facilitates more precise liquidity planning and thus more efficient usage of free cash funds; • lengthen a trading day in the course of making transactions with regional counterparties.

  12. Simplification of settlements with regions using ORTET ORTET provided NCC a possibility to make settlements with regional clearing participants without a settlement session joint with the Bank of Russia. Currently transfer of funds between regional settlement centers on total liabilitiesof clearing participants is made by NCC through ORTET upon such obligations/claims of the clearing participants are determined at the close of trading. Settlements with regional clearing participants can also be made by NCC using ORTET (if the clearing participant has an access hereto). 12

Benefits of Central Counterparty in the market(according to the data of the Bank of Finland) • Trading benefits: • Protection of (in case of a CCP functioning) absolute anonymity of transaction parties upon its conclusion; • A CCP’s presence on the market leads to trade spreads narrowing. This allows market participants to offer to their clients narrower spreads on instruments thus increasing the market liquidity. • Benefits related to risks mitigation: • Minimization of a counterparty credit risk. A CCP accepts risks of participants’ default; • A participant needs to assess risks of one, but not all counterparties. • Balance benefits : • Higher return on a participant’s capital in the market by means of lowering of costs in transactions with CCP; • Capital release in using limited deposit model and calculationsT+n allows to more efficiently meet regulatory bodies’ requirements in respect of equity capital adequacy.
