Tokyo Stock Exchange: Change In Schedule For Activating "Tdex+"

The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) has been developing the new options trading system (Tdex+), with the aim of activating it this summer (around July 2009). However, part of the system development has been delayed at the current stage.

In order to take all possible measures to ensure stable system operation, the TSE will postpone the implementation by about 2 months.

The TSE will determine a new implementation date in early June of this year, and will issue notification once more.
