--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): Good morning, everyone. To decide whether the proposed hedge is necessary and appropriately sized, I need to understand our near-term liquidity headroom and current market execution conditions. Can you provide an update on these, Treasury Markets & Funding Manager?
[R0.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): Our current liquidity position is comfortable with an LCR of 118%, above our internal minimum of 110%. Regarding market execution conditions, today's 5Y SOFR swap rate is 3.78% with a tight bid-ask spread of 2.5 bps, indicating favorable conditions for executing a hedge using vanilla swaps.
[R0.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To ensure the hedge is reportable with minimal earnings volatility, I need to understand the intended hedge design. Can you provide details on the proposed hedge structure and any assumptions used in its construction?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): Thank you for the update, Treasury Markets & Funding Manager. That's reassuring to hear that our liquidity position is comfortable and that market conditions are favorable for executing the hedge. Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller, I shared the proposed hedge structure earlier - pay-fixed/receive-SOFR swaps with a notional of $1,200,000,000 and a maximum tenor of 5Y. The assumptions used are based on our standard IRRBB modeling framework, which incorporates our behavioral deposit repricing assumptions. I'd like to understand any constraints that might affect the feasibility and timing of executing this hedge.
[R1.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): To better understand the risk framework we're operating within, can you elaborate on the specific interest rate risk we're trying to hedge here? Additionally, are there any internal forecasts or leadership performance commitments that are influencing our risk appetite or the urgency to execute this hedge?
[R1.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To assess the hedge's reportability and potential earnings volatility, I need to understand the model governance status and any hidden behavioral-model assumptions. Can you confirm if there are any undisclosed balance-sheet actions or model governance issues that could affect the hedge designation or its reported outcomes?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): To address your questions, Treasury Markets & Funding Manager, the specific interest rate risk we're trying to hedge is the exposure to parallel shifts in the yield curve, given our current EVE sensitivity is -$92,000,000 for a +200bp shock. Regarding internal forecasts, we're projecting a 12-month NII-at-risk of -7.4% post-April repricing, which exceeds our risk appetite. As for leadership performance commitments, there's an expectation to manage IRRBB within policy limits. Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller, our IRR model validation status is publicly available, with the last validation in Dec 2025 and one high finding open. I'll share our current exposure snapshot to help you assess the hedge's reportability.
[R2.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (speak, public): To support our recommendation, I still need to understand any accounting constraints that might limit our instrument choices or timing. Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller, can you share any such constraints you've identified?
[R2.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To address your question, Treasury Markets & Funding Manager, our hedge accounting eligibility rules require hedge documentation within 30 days of hedge inception and an effectiveness assessment between 80%-125%. Additionally, we have close and audit timing constraints to consider, with Q2 close on Jul 8, 2026, and interim audit starting Jun 24, 2026. These constraints might impact our instrument choices or timing.

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): Thank you for sharing the accounting constraints, Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller. To summarize, we have a comfortable liquidity position, favorable market conditions for executing the hedge, and we've identified key accounting constraints. Treasury Markets & Funding Manager, are there any signs of upcoming funding actions or hidden collateral or counterparty frictions that we should consider before making a final decision on the hedge?
[R3.2] Treasury Markets & Funding Manager (leave, public): 
[R3.3] Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller (speak, public): To finalize our decision on the hedge, I need to confirm if there are any hidden behavioral-model assumptions or undisclosed balance-sheet actions that could affect the hedge designation. ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead, can you provide more details on any such assumptions or actions?

--- Round 4 ---
[R4.1] ALM / Interest Rate Risk Lead (speak, public): To address your question, Financial Reporting & Hedge Accounting Controller, our IRR model is based on our standard IRRBB modeling framework, which has been validated recently with one high finding open. We don't have any undisclosed balance-sheet actions that would affect the hedge designation. However, our behavioral deposit repricing assumptions are critical to the model's output. I'm comfortable with the current framework and don't see any hidden assumptions that would materially impact our hedge decision.
