Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Advance Notice This Advance Notice is filed by NSCC in connection with a proposed liquidity program to raise prefunded liquidity through the issuance and private placement of short-term, unsecured notes (‘‘Prefunded Liquidity Program’’), which will consist of a combination of commercial paper notes and extendible notes. The Prefunded Liquidity Program would supplement NSCC’s existing default liquidity risk management resources. II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Advance Notice In its filing with the Commission, NSCC included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the Advance Notice and discussed any comments it received on the Advance Notice. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. NSCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A) and (B) below, of the most significant aspects of these statements. (A) Clearing Agency’s Statement on Comments on the Advance Notice Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments on the Advance Notice have not been solicited or received. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written comments received by NSCC. (B) Advance Notice Filed Pursuant to Section 806(e) of the Payment, Clearing and Settlement Supervision Act Description of Change NSCC proposes to establish the Prefunded Liquidity Program in order to raise prefunded liquidity and diversify its liquidity resources through the private placement of unsecured debt, consisting of a combination of shortterm promissory notes (‘‘Commercial Paper Notes’’), and extendible-term promissory notes (‘‘Extendible Notes’’, together with the Commercial Paper Notes, ‘‘Notes’’), to institutional PO 00000 Frm 00141 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 investors in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5 billion. The proceeds from the Prefunded Liquidity Program would supplement NSCC’s existing liquidity resources, which collectively provide NSCC with liquidity to complete end-ofday settlement in the event of the default of an NSCC Member.3 Terms of the Prefunded Liquidity Program. NSCC has engaged an issuing and paying agent, as well as certain placement agent dealers, to develop a program to issue the Notes. The Notes would be issued to institutional investors through a private placement and offered in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.4 NSCC would be party to certain transaction documents required to establish the Prefunded Liquidity Program, including an issuing and paying agent agreement, and a dealer agreement with each of the placement agent dealers. The dealer agreements would each be based on the standard form of dealer agreement for commercial paper programs, which is published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. The material terms and conditions of the Prefunded Liquidity Program are summarized below. The Prefunded Liquidity Program would be established as a combination of both Commercial Paper Notes, which typically have shorter maturities, and Extendible Notes, which typically have longer maturities, in order to facilitate the staggering of the maturities of the issued Notes. NSCC intends to structure the Prefunded Liquidity Program such that the maturities of the issued Notes are staggered to avoid concentrations of maturing liabilities. The average maturity of the aggregate Notes outstanding issued under the Prefunded Liquidity Program is broadly estimated to range between three and six months. The Commercial Paper Notes and the Extendible Notes would be represented by one or more master notes issued in the name of The Depository Trust Company (‘‘DTC’’), or its nominee. The Notes would be issued only through the 3 Terms not defined herein are defined in NSCC’s Rules and Procedures (‘‘Rules’’) available at https://dtcc.com/∼/media/Files/Downloads/legal/ rules/nscc_rules.pdf. The events that constitute a Member default are specified in NSCC’s Rule 46 (Restrictions on Access to Services), which provides that NSCC’s Board of Directors may suspend a Member or prohibit or limit a Member’s access to NSCC’s services in enumerated circumstances; this includes default in delivering funds or securities to NSCC, or a Member’s experiencing such financial or operational difficulties that NSCC determines, in its discretion, that restriction on access to services is necessary for its protection and for the protection of its membership. 4 15 U.S.C. 77d(4)(a)(2) [sic].
