Dear Mr. Dudek,
Re: Hellenic Exchanges--Athens Stock Exchange SA —Application for Desi~natian as a "Designated Offshore Securities Market" We hereby submit a formal application for designation as a "Designated Offshore Securities Market" within the meaning of Rule 902(b)of Regulation Sissued under the Securities Act of 1933,as amended. We are seeking this designation and recognition in order to assist market participants who are eligible for the safe harbor provided by Rule 904 of Regulation S in satisfying the requirements specified in that rule when reselling securities in, on or through the facilities of the Hellenic Exchanges—Athens Stock Exchange SA(hereinafter"Athens Stock Exchange" or"ATHEX"). Rule 902(b}(2) identifies seven attributes that the Securities and Exchange Commission will consider in determining whether to designate anon-U.S securities market as a "Designated Offshore Securities Markey' within the meaning of Regulation S. In compliance with Regulation S, the SEC will reach its decision regarding the designation on a case-by-case basis through the interpretive letter procedure based upon all facts pertaining to a particular market. As set forth in detail below, Athens Stock Exchange fulfills each of the attributes listed in Rule 902(b)(2). ORGANIZATION UNDER FOREIGN LAW The Athens Stock Exchange is the only stock exchange in Greece and one of the oldest stock exchanges in Europe., founded in 1876 and having been operating continuously since then. As Greece is a full member-state of the European Union, the Athens Stock Exchange operates in compliance with the applicable European Union Directives and Regulations governing the operation and supervision of capital markets, securities trading and post-trading operations, as discussed below.
1.1 Historical background of the ATHEX corporate structure
The Athens Stock Exchange was initially founded in 1876 as a self-regulated public organization, whereas Greek Law 1308/1908 founded the Athens Stock Exchange as a public entity under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Finance. ATHEX operated apost-trading infrastructure, including clearing and settlement functions for securities until 1990, when the Central Securities Depository (CSD) was established as a separate entity, awholly-owned subsidiary of ATHEX In 1995, under Greek Law 2324/1995, ATHEX was converted into a joint stock company governed by Greek corporate law, with the State of Greece as its sole shareholder. This change from a public body to a joint stock company was deemed to be necessary for the more flexible
R '. ,-
'~ .,, rj4~ ~'~~ ins. and efficient operation of the ATHEX, especially with regard to the appointment of new specialized and 'nighiy experienced stafr` from 'the private sector, as weil as the adoption of faster procedures for the purchase of new infrastructure and equipment without public tenders. In 1997, pursuant to Greek Law 2533/1997, the Athens Derivatives Exchange (ADEX) and the Athens Derivatives Exchange Clearing House (ADECH) were established, with the Athens Stock Exchange as their mayor shareholder. r=rom ~yy~ to ~yyy, Al HEX became partly privatized through private placements of shares held by the State of Greece to the major Greek banks and certain ATHEX members, including securities firms, and ATHEX personnel. In 2000, a new joint stock company was founded with the name "Hellenic Exchanges S.A" (hereinafter "HELEX"). As the 100% holding company of the Athens Stock Exchange, the ATHEX shareholders contributed in kind their ATHEX shares (plus cash) to the founding capital of HELEX. As a result, HELEX became the parent company not only of ATHEX, buf also of its subsidiaries: ADEX, ADECH, CSD as well as the "Thessaloniki Stock Exchange Centre" (an ATHEX branch in the second largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki) and ASYK (an information technology company that develops the ATHEX trading system and distributes the ATHEX data feed). Ail the aforesaid companies constituted the "HELEX Group". After becoming the parent company of the "HELEX Group", HELEX offered a fully vertically integrated platform for dealings in Greek securities and derivatives, including trading, clearing, settlement and registry services. In 2000, HELEX listed its shares on the Securities Market of ATHEX under the trading symbol "EXAE" (after the Greek initials of the company's name). In 2002, the Athens Stock Exchange merged with the Athens Derivatives Exchange and since then ATHEX operates the only securities and derivatives regulated market in Greece. In 2005, the "Athens Exchange Clearing House" (ATHEXCIear) was founded, which provides clearing services for all transactions executed on the Securities Market and the Derivatives Market. In 2006, HELEX absorbed its subsidiary companies, "Central Securities Depository" and the "Athens Derivatives Clearing House" (ADECH) into the HELEX Group. In December 2013, an intra-group restructuring of the HELEX Group of companies took place, as part of the general effort to upgrade the services offered by the HELEX Group and to harmonize its rules of operation with international standards and practices. The restructuring was designed to achieve an effective and smooth adjustment to the future implementation of a wide set of measures at the European and world level (e.g. EMIR Regulation, Central Securities Depositories Directive of the European Union) applicable to the HELEX Group. Following the intra-group restructuring in 2013, the Athens Stock Exchange was merged into its parent company HELEX. Thus, the new entity derived from
the merger now operates as a fully private joint stock company under the Greek corporate laws, under the new name "Hellenic Exchanges—Athens Stock Exchange SA" and the marketing name Athens Stock Exchange or ATHEX. The market ra~itali7ation of th? Athens Stock Exchange, including its subsidiaries, as of April 28, 2016, was about €325 million, with 65,368,563 outstanding shares traded on ATHEX, of try 1 ~

After the 2013 restructuring, ATHEX now has only two wholly-owned subsidiaries and no statute in any other company:
"Athens Exchange Clearing House" (ATHEXCIear) which provides clearing services for trades executed on the markets operated by ATHEX (Securities Market and Derivatives Market). "Hellenic Central Securities Depository SA" (ATHEXCSD) which provides the settlement and registry services for all trades executed on the markets operated by ATHEX (Securities Market and Derivatives Market). ATHEXCSD manages the Dematerialized Securities System (DSS), which is the electronic system for the book entry and monitoring of all transferable securities traded on the ATHEX markets. ~

5. REPORTING OF TRANSACTIONS IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS
TO GOVERNMENTAL OR SELF-REGULATORY BODY
All market orders are included in the electronic order-book and all over-the-counter OTC trades in financial instruments admitted to trading on ATHEX are communicated to the market via the ATHEX trading infrastructure. All trades are effected on the regulated market or reported to the market in the case of OTC trades by the ATHEX Members. The trading hours for the Securities Market and the Derivatives Market are specified respectively in the Appendices 4 and 5 attached hereto. All members of ATHEX have access to OASIS, an electronic platform used by ATHEX for trading in its markets. In order to gain access to OASIS, a member must be connected to ATHEX-Net System via one or more connection nodes to ATHEXNet upon authorization by ATHEX for the use of the software by the member. Furthermore, all members of the ATHEX have direct or indirect access to the Security Settlement System operated by the ATHEXCSD for the clearing and settlement of the transactions they conclude in the Athex Securities Market and the Derivatives Market. Members use the OASIS platform for trading purposes, either for securities or for derivatives trading, and report to the regulator all relevant details for individual trades concluded on ATHEX. The reports are submitted after trading has closed, and until the following working day at the latest, directly through an enriched settlement feed to the ATHEXCSD which handles the settlement processes through the Dematerialized Securities System ("DSS"). The reports include details of the names and number of the instruments bought or sold, the quantity, the dates and times of execution and the transaction price and means of identifying the investment firms who effected the transactions. The information received by ATHEX (including the transaction related information received by the ATHEXCSD) can also be seen by HCMC who is connected to the DSS. Investment firms which, either in their own account or on behalf of clients, conclude transactions in shares admitted to trading on a regulated market, outside a regulated market or multilateral trading facilities, make public the volume and price of those transactions and the time at which the transactions were concluded. This information is made public as close to real-time as possible, on a reasonable commercial basis, and in a manner which is easily accessible to other market participants. Greek Law 3606/2007 also provides for pre-trade and post-trade transparency of the regulated markets and the multilateral trading facilities:
,, , ,:. w.
_? regulated market. Details of all such transactions are made public, on a reasonable commercial basis, as close to real-time as possible. All trades effected on the regulated market or OTC are disseminated to the public immediately on the ATHEX ticker and with a 15-minute delay on the ATHEX's own website Information disseminated to the public includes, security name, volume transacted and price. ATHEX disseminates publicly the information mentioned for all listed financial instruments. The information available to the public does not include any personal or client data due to confidentiality restrictions. ATHEX has entered into a market data dissemination agreement with all major international data vendors, such as Thomson-Reuters, Bloomberg, Six Financial, Interactive Data, Morningstar for global real-time dissemination of the Athens Markets data feed. Furthermore, sub-vendors and local data vendors also participate in the pre- and post-trade data feed. Index values as well as other aggregated trading statistics may also be found on the ATFiEX website: www.athexgroup.qr. Price lists are also issued on a daily basis and include security name, total volume traded, number of trades and prices. These may also be accessed on the ATHEX website.

ATHEX relevant trading session. The limit is dynamic when a certain variable price is used as the reference price for its calculation, such as its closing trade price before the respective order to be executed. Asa rule, the price limits are determined as percentages of divergence from their reference prices. On the basis of the price limits set by the AVIM, the OASIS system checks the price of each intended trade at the time of its execution, i.e. at the time of fulfillment of the necessary criteria for the matching of the orders comprising the trade. If the price of the intended trade is within the price limits set by the AVIM, including also cases where the said price is equal to the respective price limit, the trade is executed as normal. If, however, it is beyond the said limits, the trade is not executed. In the event of an order that may be partially filled, the filling of which —according to the matching criteria —entails the execution of more than one trade, only part of which is within the price limits set by the AVIM, execution shall take place onlywith respect to those trades that are within the respective limits, including those cases where they are equal to the said limits. Trades which are beyond the said limits are not executed. The AVIM applies only to shares listed on the Main Market. Alf trading periods with method (1) Continuous Automatic Trading and method (2) Call Auctions are included in AVIM. AVIM applies the following price limits:
o A static limit of 10%. The above static limit does not apply to shares that have a low velocity; and <> a dynamic limit of 3°/o. Since October 1, 2015 AVIM, will be deactivated for trading in shares on the Main Market Segment in the following situations:
c~ At the end of each trading day, a check of the closing prices of the shares will be carried out, for the last three trading sessions. Since the closing prices of the stocks during the aforementioned check period remain below the price of 0,05 euro, the AVIM of those stocks will be deactivated, two working days after the day of the check. , v For the shares for which AVIM has been deactivated, the maximum daily fluctuation limit of prices, will be based on a progressive scale ± 10%, ± 20%, ± 30% on the start of day price of the security (reference price), for all the trading sessions until the next regular (monthly) calculation of the AVIM activation (namely, if buy orders to the ceiling or sell orders at the floor, remain unexecuted at the best buy or selling prices (Best Bid Offer BBO) for fifteen (15) minutes, the daily price fluctuation limit will be extended to ± 20% and then to ± 30%). c• In case the closing prices of those stocks remain above €0.05 in all trading days of a whole calendar month, then the AVIM will be reactivated. In order to evaluate a stock under the aforementioned criterion, it must have participated in, at least, 10 trading sessions in the calendar month. 'i 7 ~

~ v, i..~rt~~ :~ t l
For the shares traded on the Main Market Segment but which belong to the low velocity category, no progressive scale limits will apply and the maximum daily fluctuation limit of prices is set to ± 10%. In extraordinary or emergency cases, especially when there are significant changes in market data (ind~cat~vely in the prices, volume ofi transactions) or when the smooth funciion of the market is disrupted. the Market Operation &Member Support Division of ATHEX can, upon the approval of the Cryairman of the ATHEX Board of Directors, change the abovementioned percentages for a certain period of time that it deems appropriate. A real time pre-order risk management model, based on credit limits guaranteed before the beginning of each trading day, is also applied. ATHEX may suspend trading in a financial instrument where, in the opinion of the ATHEX:
