The document is a questionnaire requesting financial institutions to report on their LIBOR transition strategies and exposures as of December 2019. It requires respondents to provide data on gross notional exposure for derivatives, assets, and liabilities across USD, GBP, JPY, CHF, and EUR, distinguishing between contracts with and without fallback provisions. Institutions must also detail their governance frameworks, progress toward alternative reference rates, and assessment of client preparedness by end-2021.

Please indicate areas of assessment
Governance framework and organisational stmcture, including having firm level plan and allocation of resources Measurement of own exposure and roll offtimelines Valuation Risk management Internal audit and conti-ols Tax and accounting implications New RFR product design Potentially required system changes Legal contract review and remediation Transition (LIBOR / RFR) client outreach Issues arising from regulatory frameworks Other (please specify)
Please discuss the progress of migration to alternative benchmarks and the adoption of
robust fallbacks (e. g. ISDA's protocols for derivatives). Please discuss targets and roll of timelines, if applicable.
Please explain how targets are set, including underlying criteria.
Please discuss intermediate targets, if any, from now until end-2021.
Please explain how targets are tracked and applied.
Please discuss if there are alternative methods to ensure continued progress in transition.
Please discuss any LIBOR exposures that cannot be transitioned. What is the reason why
the transition cannot be achieved and for which products?
Please indicate whether internal processes and organizational sti-uctures - i.e. "transition
teams" - to manage the transition to alternative reference rates.
Please discuss budget and other resources committed to the ti-ansition to alternative
reference rates by end-2021. What is the estimated cost of transition?
Please discuss work with private sector clients to mitigate issues and facilitate benchmark
transition.
What changes to systems, products or contractual amendments are used to mitigate the
impact? Are they any potential conflicts / firictions, such as re-opening of contractual negotiations, etc. expected? ISDA fallback Loan fallback System issues / changes New RFR product offerings RFR-LIBOR basis swap Other (please specify)
On a scale from 1 to 4, what is your assessment of the status of preparedness of your
clients?
1 = not aware of transition
2 = planning on transition
3 = transition in progress
4 = transition completed
Please elaborate.
What, if any, are the differences between client types? Please elaborate.
overall, what is your assessment of the main obstacles to a successful transition? Please
identify the top three from the following list by writing 1, 2 and 3 in the relevant box (where 1 is the obstacle you consider to be the biggest). Where you select 'other', please specify. Lack of liquidity in new RFRs Lack oftenn rates for new RFRs Inadequacy of fallback provisions Cross border issues Challenges agreeing contract amendments Lack of action / engagement from market participants Lack of awareness Lack of understanding on the use ofRFRs Other (please specify)
Have internal targets and deadlines for transition from LIBOR to alternative reference
rates?
Has audit (internal / external) assessed whether these targets are reasonable and effective?
If so, please describe the overall framework.
What are the key indicators that are covered under these targets? e.g. % of financial
conti-acts referencing LIB OR and alternative reference rates, % of financial contracts adopted fallback protocols.
Have any requirements been imposed by the parent company?
Have you evaluated external vendors for benchmark transition?
