There are several types of
transaction which can be
undertaken on the DME CR System
– “issuance” and “cancellation”
of DME CRs, “endorsement by way
of transfer” of DME CRs,
“pledge” of DME CRs,
“endorsement by way of security”
of DME CRs, and “Release of
Security” over DME CRs.
Issuance is the action whereby a
DME CR is created, and can only
be undertaken by a DME CR Issuer.
Following issuance of a DME CR
DGME prints a DME CR “original”
which it retains in its role as
Depository. DME CR Members are
able to print copies of DME CRs
to which they are entitled
access. DGME provides a
certified copy of a DME CR to
those entitled to receive it.
Cancellation is the action by
which the DME CR ceases to exist.
It can only be undertaken by the
Issuer of the DME CR that is
being cancelled. If an Issuer
wishes to cancel a DME CR
relating only to some part of
the subject goods he must cancel
the existing DME CR and issue a
new DME CR in respect of that
portion which is to remain the
subject of a DME CR.
A DME CR can be transferred from
one member of the system to
another, by way of a “Transfer
Endorsement”. This is effected
by the transferor issuing an
instruction via the DME CR
System to DGME who endorses
accordingly the relevant printed
DME CR that it is holding.
To best protect the interests of
lenders who wish to take
security over DME CRs, security
over a DME CR is created by way
of pledge and Security
Endorsement.
(a)
A pledge can be
created under three alternative
scenarios:
|
|
An Originator or a
subsequent transferee
can issue an instruction
(a “Pledge
Notification”) to DGME
to hold the DME CR as a
pledge for a named
Security Beneficiary; or
|
| |
A
prospective transferee
of the DME CR can issue
a ”Standing Pledge
Instruction (Existing
DME CR)” to DGME to hold
the DME CR as a pledge
for a named Security
Beneficiary if and when
the DME CR is endorsed
by way of transfer to
that prospective
transferee
|
| |
Prior to goods being
delivered to an Issuer’s
warehouse, the
prospective Originator
can issue a “Standing
Pledge Instruction (Goods
in Transit)” instructing
that Issuer, upon
receipt of those goods,
to issue a “Pre-Pledged
DME CR” naming the
Security Beneficiary who
proposes to finance
those goods. |
(b)
When a pledge is
created under any of the
scenarios described in
(a) above DGME as agent
for the Owner of the goods to be
pledged shall also endorse by
way of security the relevant DME
CR that it is holding, naming
the Security Beneficiary in
whose favour the security has
been created.
|
|
A Security Beneficiary
may release security
over a DME CR by issuing,
via the DME CR System, a
Form of Security
Release. Release of
security over only part
of the goods which are
the subject of a DME CR
can also be effected by
the Security Beneficiary
who issues appropriate
instructions.
