Paris (France) as a member of the Vienna Stock Exchange in its function as a securities exchange to also include the Madrid branch of Société Générale S.A. effective 9 March 2015.
Therefore, the member Société Générale S.A., Paris (France), shall be permitted, effective 9 March 2015, within the scope of the freedom to provide services to take part in trading from France and through its Madrid branch, SOCIETE GENERALE SUCURSAL EN ESPANA, Madrid (Spain) on the cash market for the trading of securities through the electronic trading system XETRA® and will participate as an indirect member (non-participating clearing member) in the clearing and settlement system for trades concluded on the cash market.
Trading in financial instruments in the Third Market operated as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) is not based on any formal admission procedures to exchange trading. The requirements of the Stock Exchange Act regarding financial instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market and the obligations imposed on issuers do not apply to the financial instruments traded on the Third Market, but the bans imposed by §§48b and 38c Stock Exchange Act do.
