1. CME Now Requires a License for Delayed Data:

• Anyone redistributing delayed CME data (including EOD settlement prices) must now have a CME Information License Agreement for Delayed Distribution.

• Without this license, redistribution is not permitted.

2. Impact on MRCI (Moore Research Center, Inc.):

• To avoid paying high distribution fees, MRCI is:

>>Moving previously free content behind a subscriber-only firewall.

>>Delaying website updates until after 12:00am CT each night.

3. Why it matters:

• The CME is tightening control over who can access and share its market data.

• MRCI is complying by restricting data access to non-subscribers.
