A MESSAGE FROM CEO MICHAEL BODSON

As a trusted leader in protecting the security and integrity of the global financial system, DTCC and
our employees have a responsibility to act with the highest ethical standards in everything we do. We
support this by fostering a culture of respect, honesty, and diversity and inclusion – all characteristics
that sit at the heart of our values and which have served as the guiding principles of our business for
more than 40 years.

As we assume a broader mandate to help the industry during this period of market transformation,
we must always conduct ourselves with the highest integrity and “do the right thing” whenever, and
wherever, we act on behalf of the firm. This is critical to building and maintaining trust with our
stakeholders and creating a workplace where all employees feel comfortable speaking up.

It is an exciting time to work at DTCC, and as we establish a more commercially-minded and
entrepreneurial environment in order to expand our reach across the industry, we must remain true to
our core values and follow them in all of our actions.

The 2018 DTCC Code of Conduct is required reading for all employees so please make this a priority.
As always, thank you for your continued dedication to DTCC and the role you play in supporting our
integrity, values and ethics.

Sincerely,

Michael C. Bodson
President and Chief Executive Officer
