What do I need to do by when?

ASX confirms that as of the 13 December 2021, any valid MT 201 or 203 messages containing email address value and email purpose of values of A or B will be treated as an opt-in for the electronic communications service.

Participants should also note that in the event of a change in controlling participant, impacted HINs will retain the current communication preference. This would include any values contained within the Email Address and Email Purpose fields of the HIN registration detail. The incoming participant will be responsible for reviewing and making relevant updates using CHESS messages.

With reference to ASX Settlement Operating Rule 8.18.2, participants must satisfy themselves that they have the appropriate systems and processes in place to manage any customer requests to update registration details, including email address and email purpose.

More details around the technical requirements of electronic delivery of CHESS holding statements and notifications can be found in the Technical and Process factsheet.
