› How Maroclear's securities transactions work

 

A securities transaction (OST) refers to any action that affects the nature or value of financial securities held by an investor.

These transactions may involve various types of securities, such as stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments.
There are two main categories of OSTs: OSTs with choice of beneficiaries and ex officio OSTs.

 

OSTs without choice of beneficiaries :
Ex officio OSTs are transactions that do not require the agreement of the beneficiary and are automatically executed on his account as soon as he holds a non-zero quantity of the security. These include the following transactions

  ›  Dividend payment transactions;

  ›  Securities allocation transactions following a capital increase by incorporation of reserves;

  ›  Securities exchange transactions following a merger-absorption, demerger, division, grouping, capital reduction or a mandatory conversion.

 

OSTs with choice of beneficiaries :
OSTs with choice of beneficiaries are transactions that require the instruction of the beneficiary and relate in particular to:

  ›  Subscription transactions to a capital increase in cash;

  ›  Exchange transactions following a non-mandatory conversion;

  ›  Payment of dividends in shares;

The Securities Transactions department at a central depository is responsible for the management and execution of transactions relating to financial securities held in an account.
