--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, public): Let's discuss the proposed interest-rate swap overlay. I've analyzed the risk reduction potential and have some insights to share. Who's ready to dive in?
[R0.2] Treasury Derivatives Operations Lead (speak, public): I'm ready to dive in. From an operations perspective, we've been preparing for the potential implementation of the interest-rate swap overlay. I'd like to understand the expected scale and cadence of activity, as well as any governance checkpoints we need to be aware of.
[R0.3] Finance Controller (Hedge Accounting) (speak, public): I'm ready to discuss the proposed interest-rate swap overlay from a hedge accounting perspective. To assess feasibility, I need to understand the stability of the risk analytics and assumptions used in your analysis, as well as the operational readiness for derivatives operations, including collateral management and staffing processes. Can you both provide insights into these areas?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, public): I've shared some details on the risk reduction potential and governance path already. To address your questions, I'll provide some additional context on our risk analytics. The model performance has been robust, with a deposit beta backtest MAPE of 6.1% and only 2 model overrides logged in 2025. Our EVE sensitivity snapshot shows +$210,000,000 under -100 bp and -$185,000,000 under +100 bp. I'd like to hear from both of you: Can you confirm operational readiness for executing the swap overlay and discuss any accounting implications or financial reporting requirements we should be aware of?
[R1.2] Treasury Derivatives Operations Lead (speak, public): I'm preparing for operational readiness, but I still need clarity on the expected scale and cadence of activity, as well as governance checkpoints. On the operational side, I can share that our trade capture platform has a limit of 1,800 derivatives tickets per month and is currently at 62% utilization. Additionally, our clearing broker onboarding is on track, with legal docs expected to be completed within 15 business days and an earliest go-live date of May 6, 2026. We also have 9 FTEs in derivatives ops, with on-call coverage on weekends by 1 analyst. However, I'd like to understand if there are any trade sizing or finance-imposed constraints that could impact our operations.
[R1.3] Finance Controller (Hedge Accounting) (speak, public): I've received some valuable information on risk analytics stability and operational readiness. To further assess hedge accounting feasibility, I'd like to understand the underlying exposure that's driving the interest rate risk and whether we're approaching any internal limits. Additionally, are there any operational break patterns or edge cases that we should be aware of that could impact our ability to maintain hedge designation or satisfy audit requirements?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, public): To address your questions, I'd like to share that the estimated risk reduction from the proposed swap overlay is an expected NII improvement of $28,000,000, bringing our residual NII sensitivity to -$68,000,000. On the underlying exposure, we're primarily concerned about the sensitivity of our deposit betas and loan prepayments to interest rate changes. As for internal limits, we're currently at 120% of our NII sensitivity limit, which is -$80,000,000, and our current NII sensitivity stands at -$96,000,000. I'd appreciate your insights on whether this poses any accounting or operational challenges.
[R2.2] Treasury Derivatives Operations Lead (speak, public): To commit to the rollout, I need to understand the governance checkpoints and the expected scale and cadence of activity. I've shared our operational readiness details, including system capacity, clearing and onboarding timeline, and staffing coverage. Now, I'd like to know if there are any trade sizing or finance-imposed constraints that could impact our operations. Additionally, can you share the governance checkpoints we need to be aware of?
[R2.3] Finance Controller (Hedge Accounting) (speak, public): To further assess hedge accounting feasibility, I need to understand if there are any operational break patterns or edge cases that could impact our ability to maintain hedge designation or satisfy audit requirements. Can you share any insights on this?

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, public): To address your questions, I'd like to share that we've assessed operational break patterns and edge cases. We've identified potential risks related to trade capture platform capacity and clearing broker onboarding timelines. However, our current capacity utilization and onboarding status suggest we can manage the expected scale and cadence of activity. I'd like to hear from both of you: Can you confirm if there are any remaining concerns regarding operational readiness or accounting implications that we haven't addressed yet?
[R3.2] Treasury Derivatives Operations Lead (speak, public): I've received valuable insights from both of you. To confirm, we've discussed operational readiness, risk analytics, and hedge accounting feasibility. I'm still awaiting clarity on governance checkpoints and trade sizing or finance-imposed constraints. Can we get an update on these aspects to finalize our operational commitment?
[R3.3] Finance Controller (Hedge Accounting) (speak, public): I've gathered sufficient information to assess hedge accounting feasibility. To finalize, I'll summarize my findings and provide a recommendation for ALCO. The risk analytics and assumptions appear stable, with robust model performance and a clear understanding of the underlying exposure. Operational readiness is also confirmed, with adequate capacity and staffing in derivatives operations. However, we need to be mindful of the internal limits and potential operational break patterns. I'll share my final recommendation with both of you.

--- Round 4 ---
[R4.1] Interest Rate Risk Manager (speak, public): I've received valuable insights from both of you. To confirm, we've discussed operational readiness, risk analytics, and hedge accounting feasibility.

Can we get an update on these aspects to finalize our recommendation for ALCO?
