Article 4
|
Where a customer of a securities firm extending margin and stock loans has entered into a margin agreement with a securities finance enterprise via the securities firm, and where such agreement is not yet terminated, if such customer enters into a separate margin agreement with the securities firm within 6 months starting from the date on which it commences the margin and stock loaning business, the restrictions imposed by Article 2 in relation to account opening thresholds do not apply.
The same shall apply to a customer of a securities firm that is extinguished as a result of a merger/consolidation or transfer of the whole of its business or property where the customer enters into a new margin agreement with the surviving securities firm within 6 months starting from the next day of the record date for the merger/consolidation or of the last business day of the transferring securities firm.
