Section 306a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, an issuer to provide timely notice to its directors and executive officers and to the Commission of the imposition of a blackout period that would trigger a trading prohibition under Section 306a1 of the SarbanesOxley Act. Section 306a1 prohibits any director or executive officer of an issuer of any equity security, from directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or transferring any equity security of that issuer during the blackout period with respect to such equity security, if the director or executive officer acquired the equity security in connection with his or her service or employment.

II. Clearing Agencys Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, ICE
Clear Europe included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below.
ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A Clearing Agencys Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change a Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule changes is for ICE Clear Europe to reduce the clearing fees for Three Month SARON in line with the changes to the notional size of the contract, which the Exchange is proposing to decrease in size by a factor of four. Equivalent reductions in the trading fee are being proposed by the Exchange.
As there is no current Open Interest in the Three Month SARON contract, the proposed change to the notional size of the contract is being made to help simplify the transition of Open Interest from the existing ICE Futures Europe Three Month Euroswiss futures contract Three Month Euroswiss, which references Three Month Swiss Franc LIBOR, to the Three Month SARON
contract which references the Swiss Average Overnight Rate. Currently, Three Month SARON is four times larger in notional size than Three Month Euroswiss so this proposed change will enable the transition of Open Interest on a one to one futures contract basis. As the contract size of the Three Month SARON contract is reducing by a factor of 4, so the trading and clearing fees will reduce by the same amount. Attached sic as Exhibit 5 is an attachment containing tables listing the new fee schedules and a Circular in advance of the proposed effective date. The new fees are intended to come into effect on 01 March 2021 subject to regulatory approval. The proposed revisions to the fees are described in detail as follows.
5 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings specified in the ICE Clear Europe Clearing Rules.
