Please monitor open positions and margin status at all times to avoid impacting trading rights.

• Note 1：Before the Lunar New Year, banks are busy and withdrawals may be delayed. If you need to arrange funds, please submit your request early. We accept TWD withdrawal requests for all markets (including domestic and overseas futures and FX accounts) until 2/12 (Thu) 2:00 PM (FX exchange and foreign-currency withdrawal requests until 1:00 PM).
• Note 2：To improve clients' margin utilization, online applications to transfer margin from domestic to overseas remain open during the Lunar New Year period.
• Note 3：For domestic futures, because deposits and withdrawals are still processed on 2/12 (Thu), customer statements will still be printed and mailed that day.
• Note 4：During the Lunar New Year holiday, overseas products continue trading; order placement and risk control are handled per regulations.
• Note 5：Domestic futures do not trade on 2/12 (Thu) and 2/13 (Fri). The period from 2/16 (Mon) to 2/20 (Fri) is the continuous Lunar New Year holiday, and the centralized futures market is closed per regulations. Reminder: the after-hours session on 2/11 (Wed) starts at 15:00 and trades until 05:00 the next morning; positions executed in that after-hours session are merged into the 2/12 (Thu) regular session for position handling and settlement. For our margin-call release control on 2/23 (Mon) (the first trading day after the Lunar New Year for the centralized futures market), the basis is the after-hours margin-call list and amounts from 2/12 (Thu) per regulations. Please pay attention to the notifications we send.
• Note 6：For the February 2026 (202602) expiry contracts of TX futures and TX options, and the USD/CNH and Mini USD/CNH futures contracts (202602), the last trading day and final settlement day are postponed to 2/23 (Mon) due to the Lunar New Year holiday, in accordance with contract trading rules.

MSCI products follow local spot market opening/closing rules; some products open normally during the Lunar New Year period. Please refer to the Capital Futures website for details.
• Note 10：Korea: On normal trading days during the Lunar New Year period, after daily settlement we check any KRW shortfall in the futures margin and premium accounts, apply to the clearing broker for the USD-to-KRW FX amount needed to cover the margin shortfall, and execute the FX on the same day. If a trader's account has insufficient USD during this period, Capital Futures will on 2/23 (Mon) convert other currencies to USD in a batch to cover the USD shortfall.
