Service Announcement

The Exchange continues to investigate technical issues and a further
announcement concerning the timing of market open will be made shortly. 

Firms and software vendors need to be aware that as a result of these technical
issues, some data from yesterday was re-published in error earlier this morning.
  When the market opens, this means that Level 1 and Level 2 data displays may
show some erroneous data.  These are errors in display only, and will have no
impact on data integrity within the Exchange's systems, or on trade execution.

The Exchange is in contact with customers and will provide details of the
re-published data, which includes orders and trades, as soon as possible.
