1.  Introduction 

With this circular, we inform you about amendments to the Agreement on the Utilization of the Exchange EDP of the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Connection Agreement), to the General Terms and Conditions of the Agreement on the Utilization of the Exchange EDP of the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Connection Agreement) and to the pertaining Price List for the Utilization of the Exchange EDP of FWB Frankfurt Stock Exchange and of the EDP XONTRO (Price List), specifically in Part B (“XONTRO Price List”), all effective as of 22 June 2026.

The amendments to aforementioned documents are required in the context of the migration of the EDP XONTRO to the Exchange EDP of Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange). With effect from 22 June 2026, the EDP XONTRO will be decommissioned. As of this date, the functionality that is currently provided for the entry of trades concluded off-exchange for the purpose of settlement will be available via the T7 infrastructure (“T7 OTC Trade Upload Service”).

Beyond the technical preparations for the migration of the XONTRO IT system that have already been carried out or are to be carried out by the Trading Participants, the contractual amendments do not require any activities on the part of the Trading Participants.

3.  Details of the initiative

In the Connection Agreement, reference to the EDP XONTRO was removed.

In the Terms and Conditions of the Connection Agreement, the regulations for usage of the T7 OTC Trade Upload Services have been added.

In the Price List, Part B “XONTRO Price List”, the changed functionality of the OTC Trade Upload Services compared to the EPD XONTRO has been reflected. The pricing model remained unchanged.
