  3. Overview • The proposed sale of the LaSalle Bank Corporation (“LBC”, in conjunction with a proposed merger or sale of the remaining ABN AMRO group) has changed our risk state from “business as usual” to “business in transition.” • While LBC can be isolated as a legal entity with separate financial statements, the Group structure requires Business Unit North America (“BU NA”) to continue until a final transaction is completed. • The uncertainty over the deal structure and the potential acquirer raises issues around how to match incentive programs to an uncertain deal horizon; how to best retain customers and employees; and how to proactively protect the local interests of LBC. • This growing uncertainty lends itself to increasing risk levels. • As a result, the ERM Working Group has detailed questions for the RMC to discuss (and potentially address) in this time of uncertainty.

  5. Top questions for the RMC External Issues Internal Issues • Customers – What has the RMC done to ensure that there is a consistent message communicated to customers regarding press information? • Competitors – Does the RMC have a contingency plan if revenue falls by 20% in the next six months? What steps can the RMC take to discourage employee “poaching”? • Regulators – Has the RMC evaluated staffing levels to address heightened regulatory scrutiny and deal execution? Has the RMC discussed the possibility of reprioritizing/deferring certain exams? • Rating Agencies – What will the impact be of a drop in ratings? • Shareholders – How can LaSalle (and its employees) ensure that the shareholders support the best long-term value proposition? • BU NA • How will the RMC ensure adequate BU NA representation (i.e. is the RMC too LaSalle focused)? • If the deal progresses with Barclays, how will the RMC oversee the disentanglement of Global Clients and Global Markets (without disruption to LaSalle or GC/GM)? • How will the RMC oversee cross-border self interest between ABN AMRO and LaSalle? • Employees • How will the RMC react to whole team defections (e.g. derivatives, payroll, loan syndications, etc.)? • What steps is the RMC taking to reduce the “distraction effect” (i.e. employee apathy, frustration and/or anxiety) leading to reduced efficiency?

  6. Top questions for the RMC External Issues Internal Issues • Liquidity – What steps have been taken to protect liquidity in the event of a ratings decrease or litigation charge? • Legal • How will the DOJ issue be resolved? Who maintains contingent liability (Group vs. BU NA)? • Who is overseeing legal issues from a LaSalle perspective? • Human Resources – How quickly can HR implement appropriate incentives to curb undesirable behavior (e.g. minimize suboptimal behavior in short term)? • Operations – What steps has the RMC taken to protect the bank against heightened operational risk? • IT / Access security? • Data loss / privacy protection? • Disaster recovery? • Sabotage / Fraud? • IT contracts / Outsourcing? • Protection of Intellectual Property (e.g. trademarks and trade secrets)

  7. Top questions for the RMC External Issues Internal Issues • Execution Risk • Has the RMC considered all of the legal and transactional steps necessary to “break apart” LaSalle Bank as a standalone entity from the ABN AMRO group? • What risks increase if the transaction takes longer than expected? • Deal quality – How will the RMC ensure that underwriting standards do not fall (particularly if competition increases and our loss horizon shortens)? • Compliance – What steps will the RMC take to ensure all employees continue to fulfill compliance requirements? • Capital management – How will the RMC ensure discipline is maintained? Do we continue costly hedges?

  9. Historical Loss Perspective • In April, the ERM Committee (“ERM-C”) requested that Risk Management provide a historical loss perspective with which the members could assess the survey results. • This historical loss perspective should be used to determine whether the average loss impact was “on target” or “needs adjustment.” • Risk Management utilized average gross credit and operational losses as a point of comparison. Losses are based upon General Ledger effective dates.

  17. What do we need from the ERM-C? • Review list of “Top Risks” • Determine if this list is still representative and fully comprehensive • Review “business in transition” scenarios to identify risks and mitigants • Determine how each risk should be monitored • ERM-C members to discuss “Top Risks” with respective MTs Next Steps...
