Estimated Regulatory Timeline* Q4 2014* Once the Mandate is announced: 90 day comment period is opened Q1 2015 Q2 2015 Q3 2015 Entered into Federal Register: After the comment period, the implementation “clock” starts, meaning 90 day implementation for the first phase of participants • Currently there is not a draft proposal on the desk of the CFTC Chairman, but there is still the possibility of a Q4 2014 public proposal for an FX mandate, with implementation starting Q2 2015 (assuming a Q4 announcement): - Information at this point is the CFTC is fully focusing on equivalency before mandating more products. • Still expecting that a move to MAT status for NDFs could occur quickly, which means trading moves to SEFs (assuming no “no-action” letters are implemented) - In order to ensure we offer our clients choice in execution, we are engaged with multiple SEFs to get them connected to CME • FX Options are not expected in the initial mandate, but are expected at some point in the future as they are classified as swaps *All dates indicated are subjective, timeline is based on a beginning Q1 announcement. © 2014 CME Group.

Futures and swaps trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures and swaps are leveraged investments, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money initially deposited for a futures and a swap position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. CME Group is the trademark of CME Group, Inc.
