| Transition to Euro from 1/1/2001 |
The Derivatives Market of the Athens Exchange S.A. and the Athens Derivatives Exchange Clearing House followed the procedure of total transition (big bang) in Euro from 1/1/2001. Starting from this date, the trading, settlement and clearing of all exchange traded derivative products in Greece are conducted in Euro.

| Trading in USD |
Using the potential of our electronic trading and clearing platform to have multiple currencies for trading and clearing, the Derivatives Market initiates the exchange rate derivative products with the launch of Currency Futures on the euro/dollar exchange rate, first, and of Currency Options on these futures, consequently.
Both trading and settlement for these products will be conducted in USD. The total margin requirement, per clearing account, arising from positions on derivatives products will be expressed in Euro. At the same time, the possibility of using foreign currency as collateral for covering margin requirements will be made available for investors of the Derivatives Market.
