This exercise has nothing to do with 'covering' anything. It is quite clear that it is an exercise in the completion of unfinished legitimate transactions. Any transactions that were instigated AFTER the DTC exited the security and were therefore 'unfinished' will be completed during the period. That is all.
Only existing transactions with unfinished clearing are to be allowed.
Furthermore, it specifically excludes the covering of any potential 'short' sale ftds by not allowing any additional transactions.
There is no 'cover' there is no squeeze, there is only minor housekeeping. Spin away.
