Even though the entity is opened for other products, it is outside of its KYC review date and is triggering a high risk rating.

Thank you Nina Tona From: Jane Varley Sent: Friday, March 02, 2018 11:04 AM Subject: RE: SF [I] Classification: For internal use only EFTA01402043 +Aziz and Tanu Hi Monika, This was a WM US retain from the Offboarding Clearing House process, that currently reflects in the overall CIB file colour (not coverage colour). Hence green. Nina — was NCA completed? We can't see it reflected in dbCAR (still appears delinquent) but I know that is part of the broader conversation that Julia is having with Paul Chapman. Thanks Jane From: Monika Valantiejute On Behalf Of GM ACO 11111111 Subject: RE: SF [I] Classification: For internal use only Hi Xavier The GB adoption location is Red across all business but this is CIB Green EFTA01402044 for the US adoption location — as one of the businesses has asked to retain this. @Jane please confirm which business asked to retain? In these instances, the GM products will not be offboarded if another business has asked to retain and the KYC/ACO responsibility sits with that business. However, please also be aware that this is a High Risk client which is KYC deficient and was last reviewed in 2015. Please let me know if any other questions.

Kind regards, <image002.png> Monika Valantiejute GM Project Mercury Deutsche Bank Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London, EC2N 2DB Email uoject: EFTA01402047 GM ACO, can you pls let us know what the issue is? We have a client trying to execute a transaction. Thanks From: lain Macara Sent: Thursday. March 01. 2018 11:48 AM Gm ACO — can you liaise with central merc and establish the CIB colour on the rhp below? thx From: Xavier Avila Subject: SF EFTA01402048 Ian, thanks for the call. So Rita who is the Case Manager seems to suggest that she sees Southern Financial Red and therefore we cannot extend it to Credit Derivatives, while we think we should see this Green from a KCP perspective. Bu you explain to me that the Red might be only when it comes to your ICG world. Can you pls clarify if this client is Red for everyone including KCP and if so how do we turn it Green, as discussed this is an example of a KCP Americas account that is ACOed by us, in this case myself.
