      Markit temporarily suspends calculation and publication of UBS Commodity Indices MBCIBLXA, MBCIBSXA and MBCIBCXA

      Markit is the Administrator of the below UBS owned Indices. Please be advised that UBS Index Group, the previous Index Administrator of the below Indices, has advised Markit that an incorrect schedule of Basis Contracts for Silver (Ticker: SI) and Gold (Ticker: GC) was provided to Markit as part of the transfer of administration of the Indices. Markit has therefore suspended calculation and publication of the Indices. Markit will backtest the Indices using the correct Basis Contracts and will discuss the results of that backtest with identified stakeholders.

      Index Name BBG Code RIC
      UBS Commodity Capped Basis ex Agriculture ex Livestock Index MBCIBLXA UBSIBLXA=UBSL
      UBS Commodity Capped Short Basis ex Agriculture ex Livestock Index MBCIBSXA UBSIBSXA=UBSL
      UBS Commodity Capped Basis Long-Short Basis ex Agriculture ex Livestock Index MBCIBCXA UBSIBCXA=UBSL

      Markit will provide further information in due course.
