How it was checked · 2 checks
- Rule re-applied. The Not Bearer rule (v1.0), re-applied to the stored facts, gives the same result as the code-only Mastermind v3 run of 2026-09-25 (deterministic extraction, no model).
- Quote verified. The clause quoted for the form of the notes appears verbatim in the cited section.
Not Bearer
The obligation must not be a bearer instrument, unless interests in it are cleared via Euroclear, Clearstream or another internationally recognised clearing system.
These checks are CDSBench's provisional reading of the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, not legal advice.
