1 - NOTIFICATION of NON FINANCIAL COUNTERPARTY of EXCEEDING THE CLEARING THRESHOLD IN ACCORDANCE with ARTICLE 10(1) of Regulation (EU) 648/2012 (EMIR)

Purpose of this form

By submitting this form, a non-financial counterparty declares that it exceeds the clearing threshold for any of the following:

• a) OTC credit derivative contracts;
• b) OTC equity derivative contracts;
• c) OTC foreign exchange derivative contracts;
• d) OTC interest rate derivative contracts; and
• e) OTC commodity derivative contracts and other OTC derivative contracts not defined under points (a) to (d).

In order to facilitate the process for groups, this form should be used in conjunction with Section C to make a combined notification on behalf of other non-financial counterparties within a group to which the notifying counterparty belongs and which are established in the European Union. In that case the form should list all of the other relevant non-financial entities in Section C. Non-financial counterparties which do not trade OTC derivatives should not be listed.

Before sending a notification, you need to register as a user with the Authority. When your registration is complete, you need to log in and fill out the form that will appear on the page in order to complete the application.
