Changes in tick sizes and Decimals parameters to take effect from 4 May 2016

Note:

To determine the tick size, the security's liquidity is taken into account in addition to its price. This allows the spread between the best bid and best ask to be narrowed, the time for orders to be filled at the best price to be reduced, and encourages investors to enter limit orders in the exchange order book. Improvement of the order book quality broadens the range of securities available for use with algorithmic strategies.

The price ticks are to be reviewed quarterly from the second quarter of 2015.

The price tick method employed by Moscow Exchange was adopted by the MICEX SE's Equity & Bond Market Committee on 27 June 2014.
