15th November 2007
Further to the implementation of the SEDOL allocation rules on 25th June 2007, we will be creating an exception for Spanish incorporated entities regarding subdivisions and consolidations.
Where a subdivision or consolidation occurs to a Spanish incorporated entity, and a new ISIN is released, we will be allocating a new SEDOL code. This exception will be effective immediately. Requests for new codes falling under this exception must be directed to smfnewissues@londonstockexchange.com and must not be created by external parties.
This exception is necessary due to a technical issue for Spanish domestic custody & settlement. We do not anticipate any further exceptions to the SEDOL allocation rules.
For specific details please refer to the attached spreadsheet ‘SEDOL Allocation Rules’.
