Sensitivity: C2 Public 14 The move to T+1 at Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) accelerates the settlement cycle, boosts efficiency and international alignment, and preserves an almost frictionless client experience. Tangible impact on internal operations; limited impact for clients on the trading side. Cycle Shortening − Reduced risk and capital usage thanks to lower overnight exposure. Convergence with key international standards, facilitating global investment flows. − Shorter processing windows and greater intraday discipline. − Optimization of critical post-trade processes without altering the client value proposition. Corporate Events and NAV Trading − Harmonization of milestones across all markets: ex-date and record date occur on the same day, eliminating current timing gaps. − Equities: In NAV-based trading, the trade date coincides with NAV availability. Settlement will remain on T+1. Readiness and Impact for Trading Clients − Stable experience: no material changes expected in channels, fees, or usual flows. − Greater certainty and transparency: clearer calendars and references for corporate actions. − No complex reconfigurations: BME’s internal adjustments absorb the bulk of the change. Trading Cycle Shortening Corp.Events / NAV trading Readiness Trading T+1: High level analysis
Sensitivity: C2 Public 15 Compression of CCP processes − T+1 requires a compression of CCP process timelines, especially in the Spanish market, where several activities currently take place on T+1 (allocations, transfers, hold & release, netting) − The cut-off times for these processes will be moved from T+1 to T (15-30 minutes after Spanish market closure) − Netting reports will be available on T, around 21:00, once previous processes have been completed Alignment and functional enhancements − Harmonized model of hold & release, including partial release − POA where supported by the CSD − The physical delivery of equity Exchange-Traded Derivatives (ETDs) will follow a T+1 settlement cycle Preparation − The migration to the new clearing platform will incorporate most of the changes required for T+1 ahead of T+1 go-live Clearing Process compression Alignment / enhancements Preparation Clearing T+1: High level analysis

Sensitivity: C2 Public 23 Summary − Additional partial settlement window in the first cycle of the Night-Time Settlement (NTS). − Allows the early release of securities and liquidity following the C1S4 sequence. − Netting and optimisation processes are strengthened, reducing the volume carried forward to Real- Time Settlement Main changes − A time gap is introduced between the C1S3 and C1S4 sequences. − The C1S4 sequence is delayed to 00:00. − A new C1SX sequence is introduced to enable partial settlement during the NTS. − An additional time gap is introduced between the C1SX sequence and the start of the second NTS cycle (02:00). Operational impact − Settlement-related messaging will not be received until the completion of the C1S4 sequence. − This highlights the need for automation among participating entities. − Review of participants’ internal processes to adapt to the new timetable.
