Record Regulatory News (REC)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 21 November 2017

RECORD PLC COMMENTS ON EMIR

Record plc ("Record"), the specialist currency manager, notes recently proposed amendments to the deliverable forward foreign exchange contract variation margin requirement under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation ("EMIR"). Record also notes media comments that these amendments may effectively be applied so as to forestall certain of its EU-based clients having to pay and receive daily variation margin from 3 January 2018, as had been expected.

Record is engaging with its affected clients and their counterparty banks, so as to ensure the best course of action allowing clients to meet their regulatory obligations whilst minimising disruption. Record will continue to monitor developments and does not expect the net revenue effect either from the introduction of mandatory variation margin, nor from any changes to its introduction, to be material.

Notes to Editors

Record is a specialist currency manager and provider of currency hedging services for institutional clients. Founded in 1983, Record has established a market leading position as a currency manager. Specifically, the Group has a leading position in managing Currency Hedging and Currency for Return for institutional clients.

The Group has four principal reporting lines:

· Passive Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate fully or partially the economic impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies;

· Dynamic Hedging, where Record seeks to eliminate the impact of currency movements on elements of clients' investment portfolios that are denominated in foreign currencies when these movements are expected to result in an economic loss to the client, but not to do so when they are expected to result in an economic gain;

· Currency for Return, in which Record enters into currency contracts for clients with the objective of generating positive returns; and

· Multi-Product, where the client mandate includes combined hedging and return-seeking objectives.
