Decisions of the Moscow Exchange Board of Directors

On September 17, 2012 the Board of Directors approved Moscow Exchange Group IT strategy until 2015. Participants of the discussion underscored that the IT strategy was a key condition for completion of the integration processes in the Exchange and required condition for implementation of the Moscow Exchange Development Strategy as well as improvement of its global competitiveness. The main points of the IT strategy implementation include design and development of platforms based on internal resources; opportunity to use solutions of third-party providers as to systems components; creation of an infrastructure for highly reliable data centers; design and creation of new trading and clearing systems.

The IT strategy will be implemented strictly in accordance with the parameters of the approved Business Plan of the Exchange.

Creation of a single cross-market IT platform in 2015 was announced to be the outcome of the strategy successful realization.

The Board also adopted an approach for establishing a new Moscow Exchange indices family and changing the current products on indices until the end of 2012.

In addition, the Board's members looked through the Moscow Exchange results report for the first half of 2012, discussed projects progress and preparation to an IPO, passed the procedure for admission of non-banking organizations to the on-exchange FX market.
