ICE MARKET UPDATE

LEAP SECOND IMPACT

ICE utilizes industry-standard time synchronization systems that rely on atomic time sources to maintain accuracy. On June 30th of this year, a leap second will be added after 23:59:59 GMT. A leap second is a second which is added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)/Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), in order to synchronize atomic clocks with astronomical time to keep clocks as accurate as possible. This means that on the evening of June 30th, 2015 clocks will advance in the following manner - 23:59:59, 23:59:60, 00:00:00.

ICE is confident that this will not cause any issues on our systems; however, we cannot guarantee the same for all systems used by our participants, market data vendors, and other third-parties. As a result, ICE has made the decision to delay all market state transitions which would normally occur between June 30th 23:00 GMT and July 1st 00:01 GMT. These markets will instead transition according to the schedule below:
