I am Caroline woods for Thomson Reuters, recent regulatory

investigations that centered on the unauthorized use of multilateral
chance. Let's help some writers to work with a group of leading
financial institutions to address this issue. Bilateral chats
exclusively available on icon messenger are user creating conversations
that automatically enforce advanced compliance controls.

Thompson Reuters on boarding process creates every user and signs up to

a single company in our database. Only members from one or two companies
can participate in a bilateral chat. Only if there are no other
compliance controls that would otherwise prohibit them. If members of
the bilateral chat attempts to add a user from a third company to the
conversation, the invitation is blocked.

Reading a bilateral chat is as simple as starting a conversation. Click

the create a bilateral chat icon and give it a name. Bilateral chance
always require a name to assist a compliance reporting, then select the
users you wish to invite. Like creating. You can also drive contacts
from your roster on to the bilateral chat to add them to the

chap, or they'll automatically be joined to it if they are a trusted,
existing contact.

Bilateral chats appear in a new folder in your contact roster.

Bilateral chats systematically block an invitation to more than two

firms. If you attend to add a third firm into the conversation, all of
the regular icon, messenger features, such as buzz, chaproom alerts,
personal alerts and merge rooms are available in bilateral chats.
Remember, bilateral chats are exclusively available on icon messenger,
