About the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) number is a 20-digit alphanumeric code. It is an internationally standardized and globally valid identifier for financial market participants. Its purpose is to clearly and unequivocally identify contracting parties (e.g., companies, banks, and investment funds). It is used to comply with a variety of financial reporting requirements. The Deutsche Bӧrse Group has stated that "the LEI will clearly assist the regulatory authorities in monitoring and analyzing threats to the stability of the financial markets, (but) it can also be utilized by counterparties internally for risk management purposes."

Southern Silver meets the requirement for all companies listed on German Stock Exchanges to have an LEI number by January 3, 2018.

Lawrence Page, President, Manex Resource Group stated, "Southern Silver and other companies under the Manex Resource Group banner have had a long history of being listed and actively trading on one or more stock exchanges or trading platforms within Germany. We are dedicated and pleased that trading of our shares on the German exchanges will continue without any hindrances. "
