[R0.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, private to=Treasury Derivatives Operations Lead): To support our ALCO decision, I'd like to discuss the operational readiness for implementing a cleared interest-rate swap overlay and its designation as IFRS 9 cash flow hedges.

We're also staffed with 9 FTEs in derivatives ops, with on-call coverage on weekends by 1 analyst. For clearing, we're looking at an earliest go-live date of May 6, 2026, following a 15 business day legal documentation process with our clearing broker. Additionally, our collateral operations currently issue CSA margin calls at 10:00 ET, with an average dispute rate of 3.2%.
