3. Manner of reporting to CDP
3.1. Each Clearing Member shall report to CDP such information as CDP may require in relation to Position Accounts in such manner as may be determined by CDP.
4. Timelines for Position Account reporting
4.1. Each Clearing Member is required to perform the obligations required under Rule 5A.2.1 as soon as practicable, and in any event, no later than such time as may be required for timely and orderly settlement of the first trade cleared by the Clearing Member for the Customer into the intended Securities Account. Each Clearing Member is also required to perform the obligations required under Rule 5A.2.2 as soon as practicable.
4.2. For Rule 5A.2.1, each Clearing Member shall report to CDP such information as CDP may require for a Position Account opened with CDP before the Clearing Member first clears a trade for the relevant Position Account holder.
4.3. For Rule 5A.2.2, each Clearing Member shall report to CDP any change in information previously reported to CDP for any Position Account by the end of the next Market Day from the time when the Clearing Member receives notice of the change. If there is a delay, the Clearing Member shall ensure that there are valid reasons to explain the delay. An example of a valid reason for delay includes when the customer has first notified the Clearing Member of a change in information, but fails to provide sufficient or complete information in time for the Clearing Member to update the change in information by the required time, and such delay is not due to the Clearing Member's negligence and/or other internal control weaknesses.
