--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Regulatory Capital Manager (speak, public): Let's discuss the upcoming debt maturities and regulatory capital needs. To make an informed decision about proceeding with a Tier 2 capital issuance in 2026, I need to understand the refinancing pressure we're facing and our liquidity resilience. Can you both provide your insights on these matters?
[R0.2] Treasury Funding Manager (speak, public): We have significant debt maturities coming up in 2026, including $1.2B in senior unsecured maturities and $650M in covered bond maturity. Our next issuance window is the week of May 12, and we have a blackout period starting June 20. I'd like to understand the regulatory headroom and balance-sheet growth expectations to better assess our refinancing pressure.
[R0.3] Finance & Investor Relations Partner (speak, public): To address the upcoming debt maturities and regulatory capital needs, we need to consider our baseline capital positioning and market execution conditions. I can share that our Tier 2 issuance will be amortized over 10 years with a call at year 5. Additionally, we're working on finalizing our interest expense budget for 2026, which is currently set at $420M with a variance threshold of $10M. I'd like to understand the risk-transfer approach and any strict upper bound on pricing that we're considering.

Additionally, are there any hard market-pricing ceilings or external capital-floor expectations we should be aware of?
[R1.2] Treasury Funding Manager (speak, public): To better understand the earnings impact, I can share that we're currently operating with an LCR of 128%, above our internal minimum of 115%.

Additionally, are there any unpublished performance commitments that could limit our market flexibility?
[R1.3] Finance & Investor Relations Partner (speak, public): To better understand the earnings impact and market flexibility, I can share that each 50 bps increase in funding costs reduces our NII by $18M/year.

We also have $600M Tier 2 issuance planned in our baseline capital action, which is expected to have a 0 bps impact on CET1. Additionally, our 2026 RWA outlook is $68.0B, with a modeled growth of 4.5%. Can you both confirm if there are any hard market-pricing ceilings or external capital-floor expectations that we should be aware of when considering our Tier 2 capital issuance in 2026?
[R2.2] Treasury Funding Manager (speak, public): To better understand our refinancing pressure and market flexibility, I'd like to share some Tier 2 market comparables. Recent peer Tier 2 spreads are around T+210 bps with a new issue concession of 15 bps. Additionally, I need to understand the downside-capital fragility under adverse conditions and any unpublished performance commitments that could limit our market flexibility. Can you provide insights on these matters, Regulatory Capital Manager?
