RTS Stock Exchange: Settlement Fees For DVP Transactions To Be Lowered As Of March 1st, 2006

Date 22/02/2006

Effective March 1st, 2006, RTS Group will lower fees for settling DVP transactions in US dollars. The appropriate amendments were made to the new "RTS Settlement Chamber" Rules of Operation.

The clients' expenses were lowered due to the new settlement technology implemented after the system of settlement of DVP transactions in US dollars has joined "Depositary and Clearing Company" as a clearing member. As of February 6th, 2006, the DVP settlement system has been using two settlement organizations – JPMorgan Chase Bank and "RTS Settlement Chamber". In the past DVP settlement through RTS required opening a separate account with JP Morgan Chase Bank.
