Amendments to ASX Settlement Operating Rules – removal of rules and procedures related to registering as a Securities Lending Participant and reporting of certain securities lending activity.

On 27 August 2025, ASX Settlement published a Notice identifying that it had formally lodged with ASIC amendments to the ASX Settlement Operating Rules relating to securities lending requirements, intended to become effective on 22 September 2025 (subject to regulatory clearance).

Regulatory clearance has now been received on the rule amendments.

This Notice confirms that the rule and procedure amendments and related modifications to securities lending reporting activity as set out in the earlier Notice, will come into effect from 22 September 2025.

What do I need to do by when?

Effective 22 September 2025, ASX Settlement Participants that engage in, or have non-participant related body corporates that engage in, securities lending activity will no longer be required to submit daily and quarterly securities lending reporting to ASX Settlement.

Settlement Participants must continue to identify if transfer messages submitted to CHESS relate to a securities lending transaction.
