In the case of CFD trades with individual shares, dividend settlement will be used as follows:

• Clients holding long positions of individual shares (CFDs) and cash indices will be credited with dividends based on ex-dividend settlement.

• Clients holding short positions of individual shares (CFDs) and cash indices will be deducted from dividends based on ex-dividend settlement.
