To clarify, if a repo is made on the final Business Day of a particular calendar month, the maturity of the repo shall be on the final Business Day of the month in which it matures (repos are dealt on an end-end basis). For fixed periods shorter than 1 month (O/N, T/N, S/N, 1W, 2W) the Maturity Date shall be the first day which is a Business Day and falls at least one, seven, fourteen calendar days from the Value Date, regardless of whether it is in the next calendar month. Participants attempting to use odd settlement dates should specify the exact dates to the Inter-dealer Broker or to the Automated Trading System at the time the order is submitted. Market participants are encouraged to both enquire and to specify as to the exact maturity (End) dates for transactions prior to execution.
