Important Notice of Trading Odd Lots:
- Only accept "Market Order" instructions.
- Only accept not more than 10 transaction instructions per trading day.
- Will not accept buying odd lots through Mobile Banking via securities margin accounts.
- Upon receipt of the customer's confirmation of the buy instruction of a Market Order, the transaction amount and additional charges (including brokerage fees and other charges) will be calculated based on the 10 spreads from the nominal price quoted at the time when the order is processed. The sum will be withheld from your available investment amount.
- For the odd lot selling order, if no "odd lot price" is input, the odd lot order would be executed at the price in the odd lot market, which may deviate by several spreads from the nominal price. The order type of such odd lot orders would be a "Market Order".
- If the proceeds of the odd lot selling order are less than the related charges, the customer must pay the difference.
- The buy instruction of a Market Order will be submitted to the market for matching once with the 10 best price queues in the prevailing market and within the range of a maximum of 10 spreads above the nominal price at the time when the order is processed, provided that the order price is not lower than 0.01 of the denominated currency of the relevant stock. The final execution price may deviate considerably from the nominal price at the time of order placement. Any unexecuted orders will be automatically cancelled at once.
- Stock transactions will be settled on the 2nd trading day after the trade day (T+2 Settlement).
- All unexecuted orders will be cancelled after the market closes.
- The processing time is related to the stock liquidity and the number of odd lot shares.
- Due to the manual processing of odd lot orders, there is no definite range of price difference between the odd lots and the board lots. Such orders may take longer to process and are not guaranteed to be executed.
- Normally, the execution price of an odd lot order will have several spreads worse than that of a board lot order. BOCHK does not guarantee that investors can execute the odd lot orders at the best prices. The odd lot selling order under monthly savings plan would be executed at the prevailing price of the board lot market.
- HKEx stipulates that the number of odd shares purchased and sold shall not exceed one board lot. When choosing odd lot order trading, an order with a share quantity equal to or exceeding one board lot of the stock will be rejected.
- The quantity of odd lot stocks can be accumulated to reach one board lot in securities account. However, BOCHK Mobile Banking and Internet Banking do not provide the service of splitting one board lot stocks into odd lots for stocks selling.
- The buying odd lot stock list is subject to change by BOCHK from time to time without prior notice.

Risk Disclosure:
The following risk disclosure statements cannot disclose all the risks involved and does not take into account any personal circumstances unknown to BOCHK. You should undertake your own independent review and seek independent professional advice before you trade or invest especially if you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of the following risk disclosure statements or the nature and risks involved in trading or investment.

Risk Disclosure of Securities Trading
Risk of Securities Trading
Monthly Stocks Savings Plan is not equivalent to, nor should it be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.
Risk of Securities Margin Trading
The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin or interest payments. If the required margin or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own risk tolerance, financial situation, investment experience, investment objectives, investment horizon and investment knowledge.
You are reminded to understand the relevant details, risks, charges and important notes before investing in Shanghai A shares or Shenzhen A shares.
