How to register for pre-LEI applications on the NordLEI web portal Part of the NordLEI web portal, clients can apply for pre-LEIs for its legal entities. Furthermore, NordLEI also allows for so called assisted registration (pre-LEI application on behalf of others) as well as bulk registration (pre-LEI registrations for multiple legal entities using Excel-templates). Both assisted and bulk registrations are further described in the appendix found in the last section of this document. In order to complete a standard pre-LEI application for your own legal entity, simply enter http://nordlei.org/index in your internet browser, and then follow the below steps: 1. Register an Account: By clicking menu “REGISTER ACCOUNT” in the main page of the NordLEI web portal (nordlei.org), you will be redirected to an account registration form whereby you are requested to: a. Enter the name of the legal entity (e.g. company name, fund company name, etc.) you represent b. Enter a valid e-mail address to be used for any future login to the NordLEI portal c. A password fulfilling the following requirements: 8-20 letters long and a mixture of lower case, upper case and numbers d. Clicking the “terms and conditions” checkbox Once the above is completed, click the “Register” button. Within a minute, you will receive a verification e-mail in which a link is attached. The contents of the e-mail looks as follows: Från: [email protected] Datum: torsdagen den 26:e december 2013 Ämne: NordLEI confirmation email Till: [email protected] This is an automatic email from NordLEI.

Note – If you haven’t received the verification e-mail within one minute after registering your account details, check your spam filter for ([email protected]), or otherwise contact [email protected] for assistance. Once redirected to the NordLEI pre-LEI registration form, the registration form will be shown (see next page), and step 2 of the registration process can proceed. 2. Enter details for your legal entity: Once redirected to the registration form shown in menu “ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT” / “NEW LEI APPLICATION”, you can start applying for one or more pre-LEIs. In the registration form, a number of legal entity details need to be entered. All fields marked by a star (*), are mandatory, and will hence be required as a minimum amount of submitted information. The green question marks on the right hand side of each field provide guidance on the details to be submitted for each specific field. Note: Only set the “Registration Status” field to THIRD_PARTY if you register an pre-LEI application on behalf of others as further explained in the Appendix section of this document. Where registrations concern your own legal entity, chose PRIMARY_PARTY. When all required company/legal entity details are entered, press the "Register" button. Please note that for any future registrations of additional pre-LEI applications, you do not need to register new accounts. Instead, simply log in to the web portal (nordlei.org) using the credentials chosen once you registered for your account (blue log in button found in the upper right corner of the NordLEI web portal). 3. Await validation and pre-LEI generating: For any pre-LEI applications undertaken, the status of each of your registered applications is shown under menu "REGISTERED LEIS" found in the "ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT" section of the portal (note that these menu items are available only once you’ve to logged in to the NordLEI web portal). Most commonly the turnaround time for pre-LEI issuance is 5-7 banking days. Once your pre-LEI is generated and published, you will receive a notification e-mail. Remember: For any questions with regards to registration or the NordLEI services in general, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Appendix: Assisted and bulk registrations with NordLEI 1. Assisted registration For any client seeking the means to facilitate the LEI registration process of others, NordLEI supports what is commonly referred to as an assisted registration process. The service thereby allows for LEI registration on behalf of third parties. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to:  A parent company applying for LEIs on behalf of its subsidiaries  A fund company applying for LEIs on behalf of its funds  A financial institution seeking to facilitate its end-clients LEI registration process, and therefore perform the registration on behalf of its client under a power of attorney. The process for assisted registrations follows the standard process as described in previous sections. However, in order for NordLEI to accept assisted registrations, clients are obliged to collect and store any relevant documentation (e.g. signed power of attorneys, etc.) and eventually provide NordLEI this on request. Furthermore, as part of the registration forms (as well as the bulk registration Excel templates mentioned in the below section) on the NordLEI web portal, registrants are requested to indicate if a LEI registration is on behalf of others (having “Application status” set to “THIRD_PARTY”, thereby committing to the mentioned provision of documentation). NordLEI accepts such approving documentation issued by the party for which a LEI registration is intended, in any of the languages spoken in the NordLEI home markets in addition to English. One important aspect of the NordLEI Assisted registration service is that it distinguishes between the registrant and the final beneficiary of the registration, hence ensuring any future invoices are directed to the legal entity for which the pre-LEI issuance is intended and thus not yourself as registrant (where preferred). In the case the above situations concerns multiple legal entities, the process can be further simplified from an operational point of view, by using the NordLEI service for bulk registration explained below. 2. Bulk-registration For clients having a larger number of LEIs subject to pre-LEI applications, registering these one at a time in the NordLEI portal quickly becomes time consuming. Therefore, clients also have the option of using NordLEIs bulk registration service whereby the information required for valid pre-LEI applications instead can be filled in into an Excel template. Populated templates (available to logged in users of the NordLEI web portal) are then sent to NordLEI using e-mail address [email protected]. Any users of the NordLEI bulk registration service are requested to specify the email address entered when registering the NordLEI account, as part of the Excel file submitted. Furthermore, all Excel file fields marked in light green are mandatory and hence require data (all mandatory fields have comments explaining in detail what information is required).
