UMICORE Brasil Ltda Gold Bars
The Exchange has complied with regulatory requirements by filing with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission notification of approved amendments to Supplement No. 1, "Official List of Approved Refiners and Brands" of the Gold Futures Contract to be implemented effective Monday, August 6, 2007. The approved amendments change the hallmark or brand insignia incised on the gold bars produced by UMICORE Brasil Ltda from "DEGUSSA S.A. (with ½ sun and moon within diamond)" to "UMICORE BRASIL." Production of the "DEGUSSA S.A. (with ½ sun and ¼ moon within diamond)" terminated on December 31, 2005. Since there are gold bars bearing the "DEGUSSA S.A. (with ½ sun and ¼ moon within diamond)" in the Exchange Licensed Depositories for gold, this brand may not be delisted and will continue to be deliverable. However, it will be marked with an asterisk * indicating that it is no longer produced. The attached amendments are effective Monday, August 6, 2007.
