--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): Let's start by reviewing our Q2 2026 CECL allowance for credit losses. Our model-implied ACL is $126.4M, representing an $8.1M increase from last quarter. I'd like to discuss the drivers behind this movement and any emerging risk signals from the portfolio.
[R0.2] Commercial Portfolio Manager (speak, public): The $8.1M ACL increase is concerning. I'd like to understand how our model assumptions translated into this reserve movement. Are there specific factors driving this change?
[R0.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): The $8.1M ACL increase is indeed significant, and we'll need to ensure we can support it with appropriate disclosure. Our ACL overlay documentation policy requires us to document three drivers for any overlay, which we'll need to align with the model outputs. Have we identified the key drivers behind this ACL movement?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): The $8.1M increase in ACL is primarily driven by our model's response to changing macro-economic conditions, reflected in our scenario weights - we're currently using a 70% Base and 30% Adverse scenario weighting. I'd like to hear from you, Commercial Portfolio Manager, about any emerging risk signals from the portfolio that we should consider when finalizing our ACL recommendation.
[R1.2] Commercial Portfolio Manager (speak, public): I've observed some emerging risk signals that could be relevant. Our watchlist loans have increased by $95M QoQ to $612M, and we've seen a median value decline of 9% in 45 recent CRE appraisals. These factors may be contributing to the ACL increase, but I'd like to understand better how our model is capturing these risks.
[R1.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on the ACL movement, I'd like to confirm that our disclosure materiality threshold is triggered since the $8.1M ACL increase exceeds $10M. We'll need to prepare for expanded footnote disclosure in our 10-Q filing. Additionally, have we assessed how sensitive our ACL is to further changes in macro-economic conditions?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, private to=Finance Controller): To address the emerging risk signals, our model incorporates various macro-economic factors through our scenario weighting approach. The 70% Base and 30% Adverse scenario weights help capture potential downside risks. Regarding the sensitivity of our ACL to further macro-economic changes, I'd like to discuss this further with you, Finance Controller, to ensure we're aligned on the potential impacts.
[R2.2] Commercial Portfolio Manager (speak, private to=Credit Risk Modeling Lead,Finance Controller): To better understand the ACL sensitivity to macro-economic conditions, I'd like to share that our next-quarter expected net charge-offs are $22M, with 3 deals exceeding $5M in expected net charge-offs. This information might help us gauge the potential impact of further economic changes on our ACL.
[R2.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): The information about expected net charge-offs is helpful. To ensure we're aligned on the potential impacts, I'd like to discuss how our current ACL position and model outputs align with the emerging risk signals you've observed. Have we considered how these factors might influence our capital position, particularly given our current CET1 ratio of 10.6%?

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): To address the emerging risk signals and potential capital impacts, let's review our model's performance and key drivers. Our backtest mean absolute error is 0.42%, indicating reasonable model accuracy. However, we do have two monitoring thresholds currently breached, which we'll need to consider when finalizing our ACL recommendation. I'd like to discuss how these factors might influence our capital position and disclosure requirements further.
[R3.3] Finance Controller (speak, private to=Commercial Portfolio Manager,Credit Risk Modeling Lead): To address the potential capital impacts and ensure we're aligned on our risk appetite, I'd like to clarify that our current CET1 ratio is 10.6%, and we need to be mindful of our capital planning. Regarding hidden capital-management guardrails, let's focus on the publicly disclosed capital requirements and our model's outputs. We can discuss the specifics of our capital planning in a separate forum if needed.

--- Round 4 ---
[R4.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on our ACL recommendation, let's summarize our key findings. We've observed an $8.1M ACL increase driven by macro-economic conditions and emerging risk signals, including a $95M QoQ increase in watchlist loans and a 9% median value decline in recent CRE appraisals. Our model performance is reasonable, with a 0.42% backtest mean absolute error, but we have two monitoring thresholds breached. I'd like to discuss how these factors influence our final ACL recommendation and disclosure requirements.
[R4.2] Commercial Portfolio Manager (speak, public): To finalize our ACL recommendation, let's align on the key drivers and disclosure requirements. We've identified emerging risk signals, including a $95M QoQ increase in watchlist loans and a 9% median value decline in recent CRE appraisals. Our model's performance is reasonable, but we have two monitoring thresholds breached. I'd like to confirm that our disclosure materiality threshold is triggered, given the $8.1M ACL increase exceeds $10M.
[R4.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To finalize our ACL recommendation, let's confirm that we've addressed all key considerations. We've identified the drivers behind the $8.1M ACL increase, assessed the emerging risk signals, and reviewed our model's performance. Given that our ACL increase exceeds the $10M disclosure materiality threshold, we'll need to prepare for expanded footnote disclosure in our 10-Q filing. I'd like to confirm that we're aligned on these points and ready to move forward with our final ACL recommendation.

--- Round 5 ---
[R5.1] Credit Risk Modeling Lead (speak, public): To finalize our Q2 2026 CECL allowance recommendation, let's summarize our findings and align on the key drivers and disclosure requirements. We've observed an $8.1M ACL increase driven by macro-economic conditions and emerging risk signals, including a $95M QoQ increase in watchlist loans and a 9% median value decline in recent CRE appraisals. Our model performance is reasonable, with a 0.42% backtest mean absolute error, but we have two monitoring thresholds breached. Given that our ACL increase exceeds the $10M disclosure materiality threshold, we'll need to prepare for expanded footnote disclosure in our 10-Q filing. I recommend we proceed with the $126.4M model-implied ACL, ensuring our disclosure narrative accurately reflects these key drivers and emerging risk signals.
[R5.2] Commercial Portfolio Manager (speak, public): I agree with the recommendation to proceed with the $126.4M model-implied ACL. The emerging risk signals we've discussed, including the watchlist migration and CRE appraisal updates, support this decision. I'm comfortable with the disclosure narrative reflecting these key drivers and risk signals.
[R5.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): I agree with the recommendation to proceed with the $126.4M model-implied ACL. Given our current CET1 ratio of 10.6% and the ACL sensitivity to CET1, we should continue to monitor our capital position closely. I'm comfortable with the disclosure narrative reflecting the key drivers and emerging risk signals we've discussed. Let's ensure we're prepared for the expanded footnote disclosure in our 10-Q filing.
