A. Cash Plus Introductory Offer

(1) How it works and How to Participate

• Eligible New Clients who successfully open a Moomoo AU Account and complete Enrolment in the Cash Plus program by clicking on the "Enrol Now" button on the Cash Plus information webpage and following the prompts to read and complete the consent form are eligible to receive 6.8% p.a. Introductory Rate in substitution for the Base Rate, for a period of 180 calendar days, however only applicable to uninvested cash balance of up to AUD $100,000 or equivalent. Uninvested cash balances in excess of this amount during the 180-day period and all uninvested cash balances outside of the 180-day period will accrue interest at Base Rate.

(2) Introduction and Additional Notes of Cash Plus Introductory Offer

Introductory Rate: fixed rate of 6.8% p.a. for a period of 180 calendar days. Assuming daily uninvested cash balance is maintained at exactly AUD $100,000, the maximum interest paid during the 180-day period is AUD $3,353.

Base Rate: variable rate currently 3.75% p.a.

Clarifications regarding the maximum uninvested cash balance applicable to Introductory Rate:

For avoidance of doubt, the maximum cash balance of AUD$100,000 (or equivalent) is applicable to the combined total cash balance in AUD and USD. For ease of calculation, a fixed FX reference rate of 1 AUD = 0.65 USD is used in calculating the AUD equivalent of USD cash balance. Where a client has uninvested cash balances in both currencies with a combined total amount larger than AUD$100,000, the AUD cash balance will have priority to be accounted in the maximum cash balance applicable to Introductory Rate.

 

Example 1: If the customer holds cash assets of AUD 150,000 and cash assets of USD 50,000, the interest of AUD 100,000 will be calculated at 6.8%, and the remaining cash assets of AUD 50,000 and USD 50,000 will be calculated at a basic interest rate of 3.75%p.a.

 

Example 2: If the customer holds cash assets of AUD 35,000 and cash assets of USD 50,000, the interest on the AUD 35,000 assets is calculated at 6.8%, and USD 42,250 is converted into the equivalent of AUD 65,000 at a fixed exchange rate of 0.65, calculated at 6.8% Interest, the remaining US$7,750 is calculated at a basic interest rate of 3.75%p.a.

 

Example 3: When a customer holds cash assets of AUD 20,000 and cash assets of USD 10,000 today, the interest on cash assets in both currencies is calculated at 6.8%; when the user deposits AUD 80,000 on the second day, then cash assets of AUD 100,000 are calculated at 6.8%. The interest on assets is calculated at 6.8%, and the cash assets of US$10,000 are calculated at a basic interest rate of 3.75%p.a.

 

Available Currencies: Australian Dollar (AUD) and US Dollar (USD)

 

Fixed FX Reference Rate: 1 AUD = 0.65 USD

 

Daily interest accrual cut-off period:

Funds deposited during the 24 hours from AET 12:00 on T-1 to AET 12:00 on T day will be included in the uninvested cash balance calculation on T-1 day. Funds deposited after AET 12:00 on T day will be included in the uninvested cash balance calculations on T day . Where a Client with existing uninvested cash balance in their Moomoo AU Account completes Enrolment in the Cash Plus program, the Client's uninvested balance will begin accruing interest on the same day if the Enrolment is completed by 11:59AM AET on that day (T+0). If Enrolment is completed on or after mid-day (12:00PM AET), the Client's uninvested balance will begin accruing interest on the next day (T+1).

Daily income calculation formula: Daily Interest = Uninvested cash balance (up to AUD $100,000) * 6.8%/365

 

Income display: Participating New Clients and Existing Clients can find [Cash Balance], [Total Income], [Yesterday’s Income], and Accrued interest this month] on the activity page, after completing the Enrolment process through the Cash Plus acticity page. Distribution rules: The interest distribution for the previous calendar month shall be completed within 7 working days at the beginning of each calendar month.

Tax consequences: Interest distributed in the Promotion and the Cash Plus program are taxable income which may attract tax consequences. This is dependent on each client's personal circumstances and clients should seek advice from a tax professional if necessary. There may be other applicable taxes to consider. Clients are fully responsible for any tax liabilities, if any, that may arise from interests distributed into their accounts.

Withholding tax: Clients who have not provided their TFN to Moomoo AU may be subject to 47% tax withholding on the interests when they are paid. The amount we withhold will be paid to the Australian Taxation Office. To declare your TFN to Moomoo AU and the ATO, simply navigate to "Accounts" tab - "More" - "Account Profile" and "Modify" under the "Tax Information" section at the bottom.

Additional notes:

1. For purpose of the Cash Plus program, "uninvested cash balance" is defined as the funds immediately available for withdrawal recorded at 12:00 AET daily cut-off times for interest accrual. On the daily and monthly account statements delivered to clients, this figure is displayed as "Ending Settled Cash" under the Cash section.

2. If the uninvested cash balance returns to zero during the interest accrual period due to reasons such as settlement of trades and/or withdrawal of funds, interest accrual will also stop from the same day (T+0).

3. The following actions (including but without limitation) will reduce uninvested cash balance in the account:

  a.Having in-market pending orders, which freezes part of the cash balance equivalent to consideration of the orders;

  b.Having executed orders on T day for settlement on T+2, which removes part of the cash balance equivalent to consideration of the orders on T day for ahead of settlement;

  c.Confirming participation in corporate actions which will result in payment of cash;

  d.Submitting a funds withdrawal request prior to the daily cut-off time;

  e.Any other actions and/or items which result in debiting of cash balance, including deductions of fees and charges.

4. Moomoo AU is required by law to obtain clients' agreement and instructions before investing or handling client money to earn interests. If an Eligible New Client completes account opening and deposits but fails to complete the Enrolment process through the Cash Plus information webpage, Moomoo will not have the proper authorisation in place to handle the New Client's funds accordingly to earn interest. In such scenario, the accrual of daily interest will NOT commence until the New Client completes the Enrolment process;

5. Where a Client completes Enrolment in the Cash Plus program for the first time, if the Enrolment is completed by 11:59AM AET, the interests start to accured on the date of Enrolment(T+0) and you can see such interest earnings within Moomoo App on the next day of the Enrolment; If Enrolment is completed on or after mid-day (12:00PM AET), you can start to accured on the next day of Enrolment (T+1), and you can see the previous' day 's earning within Moomoo APP on the third day of the Enrolment.

(2)Calculating the Daily Average Asset Value

For the purpose of determining the abovementioned conditions of lifting the “frozen” gift shares, the "Daily Average Asset Value" in your Account shall be calculated on the following basis:

• The Daily Average Asset Value equals to the average of your Total Assets Values (as defined below) during the 30-day Assets Maintaining Period. The formula will be : Daily Average Asset Value=(Total Assets Value of day 1+Total Assets Value of day 2+ Total Assets Value of day 3+....+Total Assets Value of day 30)/30

• The Total Asset Value of a day equals to a combined value of the cash balance that day and market value of holdings (excluding all of the gifted shares) calculating based on the closing price of such holdings as at the end of that day's regular trading sessions.

• The 30-day Asset Maintaning Period will commence from the next calendar day following the date of allocation of the gifted share.

 

For example, if you draw your gift shares on 24 January, the Daily Average Asset Value, for purposes of this promotion, will be calculated from 25 January.

Assuming the Total Assets Values of each day of Asset Maintaining Period are as follows:

25 January: AUD$200

26 January: AUD$300

27 January: AUD$500

24 February:AUD$1,000

Then the Daily Average Asset Value = AUD$(200+300+500+……+1,000)/30
