('Clearstream'), a 100 per cent subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG, decided to enter into a settlement with the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ('OFAC') based on a payment of USD 151,902,000. OFAC had investigated Clearstream's maintenance of an omnibus account in the United States and certain securities transfers within the Clearstream settlement system in 2008. These transfers had related to the decision taken by Clearstream in 2007 to close its Iranian customers' accounts. The settlement will close the matter without a final agency finding that a violation by Clearstream of U.S. sanctions regulations has occurred. Today, OFAC has notified Clearstream that it has signed the settlement. Therefore the settlement has become effective.
