All DTCC Subsidiaries Open for ‘Business As Usual,' Despite Threat of Transit Strike
New York, December 15, 2005 - The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) said today that it would be open for "business as usual" to clear and settle trades from U.S. markets, even in the event of a city-wide transit strike in New York City tomorrow.
DTCC said that all its subsidiaries, including The Depository Trust Company, National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, DTCC Deriv/SERV and Global Asset Solutions LLC, will be operating normally, even with potential transportation difficulties in the metropolitan area affecting staff levels.
"We want to assure customers that our business activities will not be impaired by a transit strike," said Stuart Z. Goldstein, managing director, DTCC Corporate Communications. "As part of our own contingency plans, we are fully prepared to shift operations as necessary to our multiple U.S. operating sites and alternate data centers to handle our normal clearing and settlement activities."
