DISTRIBUTION OF 1099 STATEMENTS

On Thursday, January 20, 2005 the CME will distribute 1099 Statements to all member firms.  They will be available for pickup at The Office Services Window located on the 10th floor South Tower of the CME Center, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

For security purposes we ask that each firm's Back Office Manager obtain an Officers signature to pre-register the individual who will be picking up the 1099 Statements.  The attached form should be completed and faxed to Clearing by January 19, 2005. Additionally, we are requiring that individuals picking up 1099 Statements display their CME ID cards.

PLEASE PRE-REGISTER THOSE INDIVIDUALS AUTHORIZED TO PICK UP 1099’s. 
Note: Individuals not pre-registered will not be given 1099 reports

Also, any 1099’s not picked on January 28, 2005 by 5:00 p.m. will be put in member firms mailboxes. At this point the CME will not be responsible for these statements.

If you have any questions concerning 1099 processing, please contact Neal Desai at
(312) 207-2525 or via e-mail at ndesai@cme.com. Thank you.
