5. The Margin Percentage for any particular CFD is calculated as a percentage of the opening value of the transaction. Margin requirements for particular shares vary according to volatility and market conditions.The Margin Percentage for a Limited Risk CFD transaction is equal to the amount which would be lost if the Stop were triggered, plus a variable % to cover interest and dividend adjustments.We reserve the right to alter the Margin Percentage at any time.

7. Dealing hours are as follows:SA Shares: 09:00-16:50 (SA time)
8. For CFDs on individual shares, adjustments to reflect the effect of interest and dividends are calculated daily and posted to the client's account daily.
   • Interest adjustments are calculated as follows:
     D = n x C x i / 360

     D	Daily interest adjustment
     n	Number of shares
     C	Current share price
     i	Applicable annual interest rate. Interest in respect of long positions is debited from a client's account and interest in respect of short positions is credited to a client's account at rates which are agreed with each client.

   • A dividend adjustment is applied when a share passes its ex-dividend date (including the ex-date of any special dividend) in the underlying stock market. In the case of long positions, the dividend adjustment is credited to the client's account. In the case of short positions, the dividend adjustment is debited from the client's account. The dividend adjustment is equal to the amount of the net dividend.
9. An annualized administration fee of 0.5% will apply to all short positions on stocks. This is calculated on a daily basis and equates to approximately 0.001% on positions held overnight.
