Asx Limited Confirms Chess Release 1 Ready for Market Open ASX Limited has reached an important milestone for the CHESS Project, with Release 1 of the application ready to provide clearing services. All Approved Market Operators (AMO) have advised they successfully connected ahead of market open. There has been extensive testing as part of the readiness and the application will be closely monitored throughout. CHESS Release 1 offers clearing services on a modern platform that is designed to be sustainable, secure and resilient, and importantly, able to accommodate significantly higher trading volumes. The increased market volatility we’ve witnessed in the past few weeks highlights the importance of providing resilient infrastructure that can process increased volumes, and CHESS also has the ability to scale further when needed. Release 1 of the CHESS Project is a key step in the execution of the technology modernisation strategy, and the design of the solution we’ve chosen will enable further innovation to meet the evolving needs of the market. This morning we cut over to the new clearing component of the CHESS system, with users connected ahead of market open. While company have seen successful connections from CHESS users to the new clearing component, the true test will come from meeting key milestones including market open and trading, batch settlement, and end-of-day processing. The teams are closely monitoring for normal operation of clearing services and supporting CHESS users. The CHESS Project’s two-release approach reflects consultation feedback, reduces delivery risk, and manages change impact across the industry. More broadly, how company reassessed the CHESS Project and how we’ve delivered Release 1 is a direct translation of the transformation strategy; elevating the importance of stakeholder engagement and building a modern technology stack that is sustainable, secure and resilient. As we monitor go-live activities through market open, commencement of trading, and batch settlement, company have contingency plans available to address a range of technical issues should they arise, and company will engage with the industry participants if company need to activate them. Updates on CHESS system performance will be made available on ASX’s system status page or otherwise advised to the market. Project costs for CHESS Release 1 are expected to be within the previously provided estimate of around AUD 125 million. Work on Release 2 – which will provide settlement and sub register services – is progressing and on 30 March 2026 the project team opened the industry test environment to support software providers with readiness activities. ASX continues to work with the industry towards 2029 for the delivery of CHESS Release 2. Duyuru • Feb 12
