This message contains important information regarding the Genium INET upgrade to 4.0201 for

NASDAQ OMX Commodities. Members and ISVs are advised to analyze this information and its possible impact on member´s technical interfaces to the Exchange or Clearinghouse.

Genium INET will be upgraded to version 4.0201 during the weekend 15-16 March, 2014.

Genium INET Infrastructure Changes
NASDAQ OMX is upgrading to a faster infrastructure which will reduce the latency of all broadcast including BO5 and BD70. To this, the structure of the Match ID and the maximum size of the OMnet API broadcasts will change as described in the Changes to NASDAQ OMX Infrastructure document attached.

It is of great importance that members, 3rd party application developers review the attached document which contains the full description of the changes. In connection to the changes on MatchID, members are recommended to upgrade their Trading Workstations in order to still be able to reconcile leg trades in the outright symbols from matched combination orders with the combination order book symbol, as well as with each other.

Intra-day funding of ICA Accounts
For members who act as a clearing broker, it will be possible to post excess collateral into a specific account in the member´s name. This account is segregated from the house business and can only be used to cover client´s intraday margin requirement. The collateral on this account can be used to cover several ICA-accounts exposure, for example if the member funds 100 million intraday all ICA accounts linked to the intraday funding account can take on an aggregated margin requirement of 100 million.
