Clearstream Banking S.A. ('Clearstream') has agreed to settle with OFAC based on a payment of USD 151,902,000. Within the scope of its investigation, OFAC had looked into 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. Deutsche Börse AG had already informed about the opportunity to settle by way of ad hoc disclosure on 28 October 2013.
