MF Global Information

MF Global Clearing Status

In connection with the commencement of SIPC insolvency proceeding against MF Global Inc., pursuant to MGEX Rule 2105.00, the MGEX Clearing House has deemed MF Global to be insolvent and MF Global no longer has trading or clearing privileges.

MF Global Update

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved a petition by the SIPC Trustee on Friday, December 9, 2011, for a third bulk transfer and distribution of up to $2.1 billion to former MF Global Inc. commodities customers.  A copy of the Court’s Order can be viewed via the Trustee’s website.  The intent of this bulk transfer and distribution is to restore 72 percent of U.S. segregated customer property to commodities customers on a pro rata basis.  U.S. segregated customer property is limited to U.S. customer accounts only.  The distribution will be administered in the same manner as in the previous two distributions and will be calculated based on the Net Liquidating Value on the day prior to transfer.  Many U.S. segregated customers who have already taken part in one of the first two distributions, or have yet to receive a distribution, may be entitled to receive further funds.
