On 3 March 2022, ASX released a Discussion Paper – Issuer Services: New Pricing which explained a proposed new pricing model for the services provided to issuers by ASX Issuer Services. These fees were previously outlined in the Issuer Administration section of the Clearing, Settlement & Issuer Administration Schedule of Fees.  In the Discussion Paper, ASX noted that it would also make changes to the existing Clearing, Settlement & Issuer Administration Schedule of Fees, separating it into 3 separate fee schedules (Clearing & Settlement; Issuer Services; Equity Derivatives) to differentiate between different sets of service fees applicable to different users.

• ASX confirms that the ASX Issuer Services fee changes will be effective 1 July 2022, and the new ASX Issuer Services Schedule of Fees is now available.
• The replacement ASX Clearing & Settlement Schedule of Fees is now available (no changes to these fees)
• The replacement ASX Equity Derivatives Schedule of Fees is now available (no changes to these fees).  ASX notes that for the avoidance of doubt, the wording for the Charge Basis description has been updated for a number of product codes to match current charges. Refer to product codes 20000005, 22000005, 06200600, 22000206, 22000207, 06200600, 20000028, 22000029, 20000096, 22000097, 20000048, 22000049, 20000102, 22000103, 20000038, 22000039, 22000214, 22000215.

The ASX Managed Fund Settlement Service (mFund) Schedule of Fees has also been updated with the changed Issuer Services fees.

All fee schedules are available from the following web pages:
