--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): Good morning, everyone. To frame our discussion on the proposed hedge, let's start with the current interest rate risk profile. Our month-end snapshot shows a +200bp EVE impact of -$92 million, which is within our board-approved limit of -$100 million. However, our projected 12-month NII-at-risk after April repricing is a concern. I'd like to understand the current market conditions and liquidity headroom before we proceed. Treasury, can you provide an update on our near-term liquidity position and any anticipated funding actions?
[R0.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): Good morning. Our current liquidity position is comfortable with an LCR of 118%, above our internal minimum of 110%. Regarding funding actions, we have a significant debt maturity coming up - $900 million senior notes mature on June 17, 2026, and are callable on May 17, 2026. We're also monitoring market conditions for potential new issuances. The current 5Y SOFR swap rate is 3.78% with a tight bid-ask spread of 2.5 bps, indicating favorable market conditions for hedging. I'd like to understand how the proposed hedge aligns with our risk management framework and any potential accounting implications that could impact our financial statements.
[R0.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To assess the accounting implications, I need more details on the proposed hedge design. What type of hedge is being considered, and how does it align with our existing hedge accounting documentation? Additionally, are there any plans for retrospective designation or changes to existing hedges that could impact our effectiveness testing?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): The proposed hedge is a pay-fixed, receive-SOFR swap with a notional of $1.2 billion and a maximum tenor of 5 years. We're considering this to mitigate our interest rate risk, particularly given our current exposure and projected NII-at-risk after April repricing. Regarding hedge accounting, we intend to designate it as a cash flow hedge, which aligns with our existing documentation. However, we should confirm there are no significant changes required that could impact effectiveness testing. Treasury, can you elaborate on the potential impact of our upcoming debt maturity and any new issuances on our overall funding strategy and how this hedge fits into it?
[R1.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): To align the proposed hedge with our funding strategy, it's crucial to consider our upcoming debt maturity and planned bond issuance. Our $900 million senior notes mature on June 17, 2026, and are callable on May 17, 2026. While we haven't announced our planned bond issuance, market conditions are being closely monitored for a potential $750 million issuance in May 2026. The current swap market indications show a 5Y SOFR swap rate of 3.78% with a tight bid-ask spread, suggesting favorable conditions for hedging. I'd like to understand the timing of the proposed hedge and how it fits with our funding plan and risk management objectives. Additionally, could we discuss any internal forecasts or performance commitments that are driving the urgency for this hedge?
[R1.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To ensure the proposed hedge aligns with our hedge accounting requirements, I need to confirm that the documentation will be completed within 30 days of designation. Given the Q2 close on July 8, 2026, and interim audit starting June 24, 2026, we should also consider the timing of the hedge execution. Can you clarify when you plan to execute this hedge and how it fits with our existing hedge accounting documentation?

--- Round 2 ---

We have a comfortable liquidity position with an LCR of 118%, and our current interest rate risk exposure is within the board-approved EVE limit. However, our projected 12-month NII-at-risk after April repricing is a concern. The proposed hedge is a $1.2 billion pay-fixed, receive-SOFR swap with a maximum tenor of 5 years, which we intend to designate as a cash flow hedge. We need to consider the timing of the hedge execution in light of our upcoming debt maturity on June 17, 2026, and potential new issuance in May 2026. Financial Reporting, can you confirm if designating this hedge as a cash flow hedge will comply with our hedge accounting requirements and not introduce significant financial statement volatility?
[R2.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): To ensure we're making an informed decision on the proposed hedge, I'd like to clarify how our internal forecasts and performance commitments are influencing the urgency for this hedge. Are there any specific market expectations or leadership targets that are driving our risk appetite beyond the current risk metrics? Additionally, considering our wholesale funding profile and the upcoming debt maturity, I believe it's essential to weigh the benefits of executing the hedge against our overall funding strategy and liquidity position.
[R2.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To assess the proposed hedge's impact on financial statement volatility, I need to understand the hedge's expected effectiveness and how it aligns with our existing hedge accounting documentation. Can you provide more details on the expected hedge effectiveness and any potential changes to our existing hedges that could impact our effectiveness testing? Additionally, considering our Q2 close on July 8, 2026, and interim audit starting June 24, 2026, it's crucial to finalize the hedge designation documentation within 30 days of designation.

The proposed hedge is a $1.2 billion pay-fixed, receive-SOFR swap with a maximum tenor of 5 years, which we intend to designate as a cash flow hedge.
