TLDRS:
- The Government Securities Division (GSD) and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (MBSD) are asking their members to submit an Officers' Certificate by September 20, 2023. This certificate is a confirmation that these members have included their financial obligations under the Capped Contingency Liquidity Facility (CCLF) in their liquidity plans.
- The CCLF is a pool of resources that can be drawn upon if a member defaults, to ensure market stability. Each member's contribution to this pool is based on their activity level and is referred to as their Individual Total Amount (for GSD members) or Defined Capped Liquidity Amount (for MBSD members).
- If a member's projected contribution shows a significant increase, they may need to provide an interim attestation confirming they can meet this higher obligation.
- FICC will also request additional information and a written liquidity plan from each member to demonstrate how they've incorporated the CCLF into their liquidity planning.
- Failure to submit the required certificate or meet these obligations could result in disciplinary action and/or fines by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC).
- These requirements are part of the broader financial infrastructure that supports trading in securities, including GameStop shares.
- Ensuring that all members can meet their obligations under the CCLF helps maintain market stability and confidence, which is crucial for all publicly traded companies, including GameStop.
