As previously disclosed, Markit Ltd. (“Markit”), with certain major international investment banks and ISDA, has been the subject of an investigation since 2011 of the credit default swaps information market by the Competition Directorate General of the European Commission (“EC”).

While Markit believes that it has acted appropriately at all times, Markit and the EC have agreed on a set of proposed commitments that would resolve the investigation without any finding of wrongdoing or monetary liability. In the proposed commitments, Markit has agreed to certain obligations regarding the governance and composition of its index advisory committees for its CDX and iTraxx CDS indices and the licensing of these indices for certain exchange-traded products. Management does not expect the proposed commitments to have a material adverse effect on Markit.

The proposed commitments will be posted on the EC website for a one month period of comment by interested parties.  Upon completion of the comment period the EC will make a determination as to whether the proposed commitments are suitable and, if so, adopt them. At such time, the commitments will become legally binding on, and constitute a full resolution of the investigation with respect to, Markit. Noassurance can be given that a final set of commitments will be adopted, or, if adopted, that the final commitments will not differ materially from the proposed commitments.
