FINDINGS:

Pursuant to an offer of settlement that ICAP Corporates, LLC (“ICAP”), presented at a hearing on May 28, 2015, in which ICAP neither admitted nor denied the factual allegations or rule violations upon which the penalty is based, a Panel of the NYMEX Business Conduct Committee (“Panel”) found that ICAP consented to the jurisdiction of the Exchange for purposes of resolving this matter for the time period of January 2012 through August 19, 2012, and was subject to the jurisdiction of the Exchange for the time period of August 20, 2012 through June 2013 pursuant to Exchange Rules 402 and 418. The Panel found that during the time period of January 2012 through June 2013, ICAP executed multiple block trades for customers that were not reported to the Exchange within the applicable time limit following execution, incorrectly reported the true and accurate time of execution of block trades to the Exchange, and also incorrectly reported Exchange for Swap (“EFS”) transactions as block trades to the Exchange.

The Panel concluded that ICAP violated Exchange Rule 526.F. (“Block Trades”) and Legacy Exchange Rule 538.G (“Exchange for Related Positions”).

PENALTY:

In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered ICAP to pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $40,000.
