New Opening Hours For Bond Trading In SAXESS As From 17 October 2000

Date 17/10/2000

Danish bonds were transferred from the ELECTRA trading system to SAXESS on 16 October 2000.

On the first trading day, unsatisfactory response times were observed in connection with the closing of the Danish sub-markets due to the fact that all sub-markets close at the same time.

Consequently, the Exchange has decided to extend the opening hours of the interest sub-market by half an hour to 17:30.

No other opening hours will be affected.

The opening hours for bond trading in SAXESS as from 17 October:

The ordinary sub-market: 8:30 - 17:00.

The Electro broker sub-market: 8:30 - 17:00.

The interest sub-market: 8:00 - 17:30.

The issue sub-market: 10:00 - 16:30.
