Dear Member,

We would like to advise you of changes to the following LCH Ltd (LCH) EquityClear service fees, which will be effective on and from 1 January 2019:

• The EquityClear annual membership fee will be raised from £15,000 p.a. to £20,000 p.a.;

• The EquityClear annual Non-Member Market Participant (NCP) fee will be raised from £2,500 p.a. to £3,000 p.a. for each NCP of an EquityClear clearing member (ECM); and

• The EquityClear ‘buy-in’ administration fee, which is payable by an ECM who has failed to deliver securities to LCH in accordance with its settlement obligations, will be raised from £125 to £200 for each securities buy-in procedure, which LCH initiates in respect of such failed settlement. 

All other fees within the EquityClear service remain the same.
