BSBY Cessation

The Bloomberg Index Services Limited (Bloomberg) discontinued publishing BSBY on November 15, 2024. As a result, the Corporation was required to “de-designate” $7.0 billion of interest rate swaps used in cash flow hedges of certain BSBY-indexed loans and reclassify amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. For each de-designated swap, settlement of interest payments and changes in fair value were recorded as risk management hedging losses within other noninterest income instead of net interest income until re-designation. All impacted swaps were re-designated as of April 1, 2024.

BSBY cessation positively impacted interest income on commercial loans by $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of re-designated interest rate hedges.

The Corporation has substantially completed its BSBY transition efforts and effectively all BSBY-based contracts have transitioned to other reference rates. Any BSBY-based contract that did not transition to SOFR or other indices in 2024 are expected to either not reprice prior to maturing in 2025 or convert to SOFR or another index at their next repricing date. 

 Sources of Liquidity

The Corporation maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately satisfy its financial obligations while taking into account potential commitment draws and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. The majority of the Corporation's balance sheet is funded by customer deposits. Cash flows from loan repayments, increases in deposit accounts (including brokered deposits), activity in the securities portfolio and wholesale funding channels serve as the Corporation's primary liquidity sources.

The Corporation satisfies incremental liquidity needs with either liquid assets or external funding sources. Available liquidity includes cash, FHLB advances and FRB borrowing through the discount window, as well as the market value of unencumbered investment securities, which, if needed, could be utilized as collateral for FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. The Corporation has pledged a portion of its investment securities portfolio to access wholesale funding as needed.

The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Dallas, Texas, which provides short- and long-term funding to its members through advances collateralized by real estate-related loans, certain
