News Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
19 December 2007
New York, NY- Markit, the leading provider of independent data, portfolio valuations and OTC
derivatives trade processing and owner of the Markit ABX.HE index, today announced that the roll of
the Markit ABX.HE has been postponed for three months. The Markit ABX.HE is a synthetic index of
U.S. home equity asset-backed securities.
The new series, the Markit ABX.HE 08-1, was scheduled to launch on 19 January 2008. The decision
to postpone its launch was taken following extensive consultation with the dealer community. It
follows a lack of RMBS deals issued in the second half of 2007 and eligible for inclusion in the
forthcoming Markit ABX.HE roll. The Markit ABX.HE 07-2 remains the on-the-run series until further
notice.
Under current index rules, only five deals qualified for inclusion in the Markit ABX.HE 08-1. Markit
and the dealer community considered amending the index rules to include deals which failed to
qualify initially but decided against this approach at this time.
Markit and the dealer community remain fully committed to the index and will update the market as
and when appropriate.
