To carry out gold settlement in case the asset is deposited in collateral, the customer needs to withdraw this asset, transferring it to the gold-free portfolio, and thus, the settlement takes place. The improvement proposes that settlement can take place directly in the collateral portfolio, with no need for a prior withdrawal.

Currently, the coffee depositor is able to check their balances of certified batches only through the agribusiness depositary. With the implementation of this initiative, we will forward, on a weekly basis, to the depositor’s registered email, a report on certified batches. This report gathers detailed information on each batch, such as: (I) the place of deposit; (II) quality characteristics; and (III) packaging used. Accordingly, B3 will consolidate the balance of certified batches of each client, providing agility in the obtainment of the balance and reliability of the data.

A subscription right is when a company decides to increase its capital by issuing new shares. In this situation, the company's shareholders have preference right to purchase the assets in the new lot. Currently, the posting of subscription rights (transfer of rights from the Company's Registration Book to B3’s environment) is carried out entirely manually with physical documents sent to B3, which makes the whole process time-consuming and with a lead time of approximately 3 days. Through this initiative, we intend to automate the entire flow, providing process autonomy to requesters while eliminating operating risks and physical documentation flows. Furthermore, lead time will be reduced by 60%.

B3 created an automatic Income Tax (IR) withholding transaction for CFF – Closed-End Fund Shares. If the IR withholding transaction for CFF is entered before 10.00 AM, the event settlement message will be sent in Gross settlement mode with the tax amount already withheld.  On the other hand, if the IR withholding transaction is entered after 10:00 AM or the event is entered in T0, the flow will be the same as that currently adopted. In other words, two messages will be generated: one with the full amount of the event and one with the amount to be withheld from IR.
