Gross short positions are defined as the aggregated short selling positions of the trading Member and its clients for each security, regardless of whether these positions are set-off or netted by corresponding positions.

The timing of reporting has been amended to reflect the Exchange's Sunday-Thursday trading times. The reports are made to Nasdaq Dubai in confidence.
