A firm may provide the client with the information referred to in this Annex using standard codes if it also provides an explanation of the codes used.

5Firms are reminded that COBS 16.2.1R only requires a retail client to be provided with the trade confirmation information that applies to them. Where a piece of information is not applicable to the circumstances of a particular trade, the firm is not required to report that information to the client or to include the field on the confirmation.

5The following Notes explain certain of the information requirements in the table above.

5Note 1

This is the instrument identification applicable to the security that is the underlying asset in a derivative contract.

5Note 2

This is the harmonised classification of the instrument that is the subject of the transaction (e.g. equity, bond). This item is only required when an explanation of the instrument type has not been provided in relation to the instrument identification in line 7.

5Note 3

This is the maturity date of a bond or other form of securitised debt, or the exercise date/maturity date of a derivative contract. Where the derivative type is spread bet on an equity option or contract for difference on an equity option, the expiry of the option must be indicated.

5Note 4

This is the harmonised description of the derivative type (e.g. option, future, contract for difference, complex derivative, warrant, spread bet, credit default swap or other swap).

5Note 5

This is only relevant when the instrument is an option, warrant, spread bet on an equity option or contract for difference on an equity option. Where the instrument is a spread bet on an equity option or a contract for difference on an equity option this field should be used to indicate the put/call status of the equity option.

5Note 6

This is only relevant when the instrument is an option, warrant, spread bet on an equity option or contract for difference on an equity option. Where the instrument is a spread bet on an equity option or a contract for difference on an equity option this field should be used to indicate the strike price of the equity option.

5Note 7

This is the number of units of the instrument in question which are contained in a trading lot; for example, the number of derivatives or securities represented by one contract.

5Note 8

This should be used to indicate whether the quantity is the number of units of the instrument, the nominal value of bonds, or the number of derivative contracts.

5Note 9

This should be the unique identification number for the transaction provided by the firm.

5Note 10

This is the identity of the client or customer on whose behalf the firm was acting.
