[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation for the Q1 2026 Allowance Committee on whether to adopt an updated CRE expected-credit-loss methodology (including any management overlay) for quarter-end financial reporting, balancing model governance/validation posture, portfolio credit conditions and concentrations, disclosure deadlines, and potential capital and P&L impacts.

[R0.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): Let's start by reviewing the current reserve baseline and any internal approval thresholds. I also want to ensure we have a comprehensive view of our portfolio's size and composition. Could you provide insights into any significant concentrations or capital headroom that we need to address?
[R0.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I appreciate the focus on the reserve baseline and internal approval thresholds. To give you a clearer picture, our portfolio currently stands at $9.6 billion, with an average loan-to-value ratio of 62%. In terms of our segment mix, we have 28% in office and 34% in multifamily. I believe understanding these dynamics will help us address any concentrations effectively. Can we also discuss the performance of our modeling assumptions on our more stressed property types, especially given our recent credit actions? This might influence our approach moving forward.
[R0.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): Thank you for the detailed overview on the portfolio. Regarding the reserve baseline, our current ACL position stands at $312 million with a coverage ratio of 3.25%. It's essential we assess our modeling assumptions thoroughly, especially for the stressed segments. Understanding how our methodology performs in these areas will be critical for our recommendation to the Allowance Committee. Are there any specific high-severity governance issues or credit events you're aware of that we should consider for additional conservatism?

[R1.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): Thank you for the insights on the portfolio and reserve baseline. Given the current ACL position and the coverage ratio, I agree that we need to analyze our modeling assumptions particularly around the stressed segments. Regarding governance issues, we have a high finding from MRM that we must consider as we prepare our recommendation. Additionally, I’d like to discuss any potential single-name concentrations that might require us to adjust our approach. Can we review any specific loans or sectors that are currently of concern?
[R1.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I appreciate the emphasis on understanding governance issues, especially with the recent findings from MRM. It’s crucial we consider these aspects as we refine our approach. Regarding the potential single-name concentrations, I want to highlight that we currently have our largest borrower at $92 million, alongside significant top-10 exposures at $420 million. This could necessitate further scrutiny in our modeling assumptions and might influence how aggressively we approach our reserves. Let's ensure we include these factors in our recommendation to the Allowance Committee. What are your thoughts on how we should integrate this into our analysis?
[R1.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): Thank you for highlighting the significant borrower exposures. Given our largest exposure of $92 million and the top-10 totaling $420 million, we certainly need to integrate these into our modeling assumptions. I suggest we conduct a deeper analysis to assess the potential impact on our allowance reserves. Additionally, we should consider how these concentrations might affect our overall governance posture and whether we need to apply a more conservative approach in our recommendations. Shall we assign someone to lead that analysis?

[R2.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): I agree that a deeper analysis of our largest exposures is necessary. Let's assign a team member to lead this effort and ensure we consider how these concentrations affect our modeling assumptions and governance posture. I suggest we also set a timeline for this analysis to align with our upcoming review for the Allowance Committee. Does that sound good to everyone?
[R2.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I think it’s vital we set a clear timeline for the analysis of our largest exposures. This will ensure we have adequate insights when we present our recommendations to the Allowance Committee. I propose we aim to have this analysis completed within the next two weeks. Can we agree on this timeline and assign someone to lead the effort?
[R2.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): I agree with the proposed two-week timeline for the analysis of our largest exposures. It's essential we have a comprehensive view before presenting to the Allowance Committee. Let's assign a team member to lead this effort and ensure they have the resources needed to complete the analysis effectively. How about we nominate someone from our current team to take this on?

[R3.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): I propose we nominate someone from the modeling team to lead the analysis of our largest exposures. This will ensure we have the right expertise in reviewing the modeling assumptions and concentrations. Let's also ensure that they have the necessary resources to complete the analysis within our two-week timeline. Can we agree on this approach?
[R3.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I agree with the suggestion to nominate someone from the modeling team to lead the analysis. Their expertise will be invaluable in ensuring we accurately evaluate our modeling assumptions and concentrations. Let's finalize this nomination and make sure they have the necessary support to meet our two-week deadline.
[R3.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): Let's finalize the nomination for someone from the modeling team to lead the analysis of our largest exposures. I recommend we provide them with the necessary resources to ensure a thorough evaluation, especially given the time sensitivity of our upcoming presentation to the Allowance Committee. Can we agree on who will take on this responsibility?

[R4.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): Let's agree to nominate a member from the modeling team who has the expertise necessary for this analysis. Once we finalize the nomination, we can ensure they have the resources and support needed to meet our two-week deadline. Shall we proceed with that?
[R4.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): Let's nominate a member from the modeling team who has a strong understanding of our portfolio's dynamics and modeling assumptions. Once we finalize this, we can ensure they have the necessary resources to conduct a thorough analysis within our two-week timeline. Can we discuss potential candidates now?
[R4.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): I believe we should consider a few candidates from the modeling team. Perhaps we can look into those who have worked closely with our portfolio's dynamics. How about we shortlist a couple of names and finalize our decision?

[R5.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): Let's shortlist a couple of candidates who have experience with our portfolio's dynamics and modeling assumptions. I suggest we focus on those who have been involved in recent modeling updates. Once we have our candidates, we can finalize the nomination and ensure they are prepared to start the analysis promptly. Does that sound good to everyone?
[R5.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I agree with the approach to shortlist candidates who have experience with our portfolio dynamics. I suggest we consider those who have been actively involved in our recent modeling updates to ensure we have the right expertise. Let's finalize our decision on candidates so we can move forward promptly with the analysis.
[R5.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): Let's consider shortlisting candidates such as Alex and Jamie from the modeling team, as they have been closely involved with the recent updates. Once we finalize their nomination, we can ensure they receive the necessary resources for this analysis. Are we all in agreement with this approach?

[R6.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): I agree with the suggestion to shortlist Alex and Jamie for the analysis. They both have valuable insights from their recent work on the modeling updates. Let's finalize their nomination and ensure they are well-supported to begin the analysis immediately. Once that's done, we can focus on reviewing the findings before the Allowance Committee meeting. Are we all in agreement?
[R6.2] Commercial Real Estate Portfolio Director (speak, public): I fully support the nominations of Alex and Jamie for the analysis. Their familiarity with our recent modeling updates will be crucial for this process. Let's ensure they receive the necessary resources and guidance to conduct a thorough evaluation. Once we finalize their roles, we can reconvene to discuss the findings ahead of the Allowance Committee meeting.
[R6.3] Finance Allowance & Reporting Manager (speak, public): Great, let's finalize the nominations for Alex and Jamie. I will ensure they are provided with the necessary resources to support their analysis. Once we have everything set, we can schedule a follow-up meeting to review their findings before presenting to the Allowance Committee.
