The Chief Executive Officers of All Approved Exchanges The Chief Executive Officers of All Approved Clearing Houses Dear Sir REVISION OF ANNUAL FEES FOR APPROVED EXCHANGES AND APPROVED CLEARING HOUSES WITH EFFECT FROM 1 JULY 2017 We wish to inform you that MAS will be revising the annual fees for approved exchanges (AE) and approved clearing houses (ACH) with effect from 1 July 2017. 2 This is the first revision in 12 years since the annual fees were introduced in 2005 and is necessary to improve MAS’ cost recovery. The revised annual fees will be based on the annual turnover for the AE or ACH in the preceding calendar year1 . 3 MAS will be phasing in the revised annual fees over the next two billing cycles. Please refer to the table below for the annual fees payable on 1 July 2017 and from 1 July 2018: - Annual Turnover Bands Annual fees payable On 1 July 2017 From 1 July 2018 Derivatives: Annual turnover volume of < 50 million or Securities: Annual turnover value of < $200 billion $175,000 $250,000 Derivatives: Annual turnover volume of between 50-100 million or Securities: Annual turnover value of between $200-400 billion $350,000 $500,000 Derivatives: Annual turnover volume of > 100 million or Securities: Annual turnover value of > $400 billion $525,000 $750,000

1 The annual turnover in the preceding calendar year will be used to determine the fee payable as at 1 July. For example, the fees payable as at 1 July 2017 will be based on the annual turnover from 1 January – 31 December 2016. AEs and ACHs which were not operational in the preceding year would pay annual fees in the lowest band.
