Risk warning for Share Financing
Borrowing to finance the trading of securities (leveraging/gearing) carries a high degree of risk. If the value of the collaterals declines substantially, falling below the maintenance margin requirement, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds or reduce your loan within the specified time, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
Risk Warning for Lending Securities
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in enabling OCBC Securities Private Limited (“OSPL”) to borrow, on-lend or deliver your securities for OSPL’s discharge of OSPL’s delivery obligations of such securities to third parties. These risks include the following: (a) the borrowing and on-lending of your securities will be on a title transfer basis, which will necessarily mean that you will lose your ownership rights (including voting rights) and title to the same. In its place, you shall only have a right to request for the return of equivalent securities from OSPL; (b) where OSPL may, where relevant, have contractually agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to arrange for any voting rights to be exercised in accordance with your instructions, there is no assurance that such rights will be exercised as you wish, given that you are not entitled to personally exercise any voting rights attached to the securities lent to OSPL during the period of the loan. Therefore, where a significant corporate action or vote occurs while the securities are on loan, you may be unable to personally vote in accordance with your desired outcome or participate in the vote. Where you request for the return of the securities to you for voting, there is a risk that the securities may not be returned in time for you to exercise any voting rights; (c) your claim for the return of equivalent securities is a contractual claim against OSPL. OSPL will provide collateral to secure the obligation to return equivalent securities. Such collateral may be held by OSPL (itself or through any sub-custodian) and may be commingled together with other clients of OSPL on an aggregated and/or omnibus basis, but your interest in such collateral may not be identifiable by separate certificates or other documents or records; (d) there is a risk that any return of equivalent securities by OSPL may not occur on time for various reasons including due to settlement failures, operational errors, or disruptions in market infrastructure. OSPL may also have the right, in certain circumstances such as in an event of your insolvency, to convert the obligation to return equivalent securities to pay you the aggregate market value of the same; and (e) insofar as you will receive manufactured dividends, you may be required to treat the entire amount as income for tax purposes.
