Where a corporate restructuring event relates to an update of the LEI for fields other than ‘Counterparty 1’ or ‘Counterparty 2’, the trade repository shall perform such an update of the relevant derivatives only following a timely confirmation by the Counterparty 1 or the entity responsible for reporting.
