Master agreement (hereinafter MA) is an agreement between two parties (participants of the repository) on the general conditions of performing various types of unorganized bidding transactions. An example of MA can be viewed here (russian version). The MA stipulates all conditions and procedures of performing transactions, payments, as well as the rights and obligations of participants in negotiation and execution of transactions. By message of the FFMS of Russia from Dec 28, 2011 #11-68/pz-n (as amended on Dec 04, 2012) "On Approval of the Procedure of keeping an agreement registry", the information about MAs and transactions executed under such MAs shall be recorded in the repository registry. MA information will be transferred to the registry in the following cases:

The web-client’s form of the Master Agreement contains records of registered and terminated MAs (Fig. 1,1) and list of organizations the counterparty has concluded MAs with (Fig. 1,2).

Example of a printed MA form, generated in the web-clients, is shown in Fig. 2.

Master Agreements tab

The Master Agreement tab opens by default when clicking on the section (Fig. 3). It contains a table listing all the counterparty’s MAs, available for viewing by the current user.

The table displays the following MA data:

Terminated or expired agreements are written in yellow. Name of the user’s company responsible for a certain role in the thread (under the MA this thread is associated with), is written in green. The background color of a cell determines the role of the counterparty: 

 – the current user’s organization is a party to the MA;
 – the current user’s organization is the reporting agent of the second party of the MA;
 – the current user’s organization is the basic reporting agent of the second party of the MA.

As a rule, the participant performs more than one role, and this is impossible to reflect it in background color. Therefore, additional roles are written in the cells. Hovering over the table row opens a toolbar described in Table 1.

Parties tab

The form contains a table with a list of counterparties to the MAs, available to the current user's company. The parties are considered to be associated with the MA not only if they are parties to the agreement, but also if they are reporting agents under the MA. For example, one of them is a reporting agent, and the second one – a basic reporting agent.

The table shows the following information about the counterparty:

  • repository code (Fig. 5.1);
  • name of organization (Fig. 5.2);
  • role of the MA participants (Fig. 5.3);  
  • list of MAs, where the party plays a corresponding role (Fig. 5.4).
