Most DTCC Processing to be Normal During September 11

Media Advisory

New York, September 9, 2002 - The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's subsidiaries processing for most clearance and settlement functions will occur according to normal schedules on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002, despite the late opening of U.S. stock exchanges due to 9/11 observances. That processing involves the flow of trade data and settlement information into and out of DTCC's subsidiaries, and settlement activities involving the movement of money and securities.

The DTCC subsidiaries that will operate according to their normal schedules include: The Depository Trust Company, National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation. MBS Clearing Corporation will observe normal processing schedules for almost all functions, but will extend the cutoff of its clearing application until 10:50 a.m. from its normal 10:30 a.m. close on Sept. 11 to accommodate earlier moments of silence recommended for observance by The Bond Market Association.
