Pursuant to The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, prior to entering into a swap transaction with counterparties who are not swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers or major security based swap participants, a swap dealer must provide certain disclosures. This includes the pre-trade mid-market mark ("DF mid") of a swap transaction.

If a counterparty, as described above, has not opted out from receiving the DF mid, one will be provided by NWM Plc in advance of such swap transaction. The DF mid provided for any such swap transaction will not include amounts for profit, credit reserve, hedging, funding, liquidity, or any other costs or adjustments, as prescribed in Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rule 23.431(d)(2).

NWM Plc will provide the DF mid in accordance to what has been agreed to in writing prior to entering into a swap transaction. Specifically, if our counterparty has provided written agreement to receive the DF mid verbally, it may be provided as such. Otherwise, the DF mid will be provided to our counterparty in writing.

If a DF mid is not provided to our counterparty with a two way price (i.e., bid and offer), the DF mid is the mean between the bid and offer. The DF mid provided is time sensitive, only valid at the time it is given, and with respect to the terms of that specific swap transaction.
