How is it done?

lnvestors who use custodians must transfer

shares from their custodians to the selling
EPs before market open

CCASS will take snapshot of each DCP &

GCP's SSE Securities holdings each

business day and replicate to CSC to
facilitate Pre{rade Checking

mechanism to ensure EPs will have

sufficient sellable quantity when placing sell

Sell orders by an EP will be rejected by

CSC if the EP's cumulative sell quantity in
that stock for the day is higher than its
stockholdings during market open

Snapshot

Who to ensure investors will not oversell?

EPs' responsibility to ensure they have in

place procedures and systems to prevent
their clients from day trading and overselling
of SSE Securities

Limitations of Existing Pre-trade Checking Model

'FIK''

Pre-trade delivery of shares by investors from custodians to broker

Frequent movement of shares between custodians and brokers may

cause operational burden and costs

r
r

lnconvenient for investors to trade via multiple brokers

The design is not in line with the practice of institutional investors

where they move shares to brokers for settlement only after their
orders are executed

Solution: Develop an enhanced Pre-trade Checking Model to address ffie above limitations.
The Enhanced Model is optional and will run alongside the Existing Model.

Non-EP GCPs & Custodian Participants of CCASS can set up an SPSA via existing "Add Stock Segregated
Account" function in CCASS. Any SSA set up by Custodian within the specific range "800XXXXX" will be
classified as SPSA. CCASS will generate a unique Investor lD for each SPSA.
