EPIDEMIOLOGY AND SUPPRESSION MEASURES SUMMARY
• The epidemiology of the novel coronavirus impacts containment efforts
– R0 estimates range between 2 and 5.7, meaning each infected individual infects at least 2, and up to 5-6 others
– Median 5.5 day incubation period (from exposure to symptom onset) is longer than that of a disease like the flu, which means a longer window when unsuspecting individuals can infect others
– Studies suggest that anywhere between 18% and 60% of infected individuals remain asymptomatic for the duration of the disease, further complicating containment efforts
– Individuals have been shown to test positive and demonstrate viral shedding for 6-12 days (or more) post resolution of symptoms, creating a large window during which an individual is contagious
• Several capabilities can enable countries to relax suppression and avoid a severely damaging second wave– Healthcare system capacity recovered to the extent that normal care can be provided without overburdening
facilities or personnel– The capacity to do extensive testing, both for presence of the virus as well as for antibodies to indicate who may
have already had the disease, in order to manage the spread of the disease in a controlled manner as we try to begin opening parts of the economy
– Contact tracing, to allow a more surgical approach to managing the disease– A centralized surveillance system, at the regional or national level, that will provide an early warning and allow
quick management of new outbreaks
• Preliminary analyses suggest that parts of the US and much of Europe is several weeks to a month from scaling these capabilities

Day
Therapeutic breakthroughs (treatment, vaccine) and scaled public health tools (diagnostic
testing, contact tracing with selective quarantine, national
surveillance system) allow return to New Normal with emphasis on immediate Containment at
first sign of new outbreaks
• Cycles of relax/tighten suppression measures. Social distancing acts as the only ‘brake’ and we learn from each cycle what has greater/lesser impact on virus spread
• Ramp up diagnostic and serology testing to have sensing posts for resurgence of virus as restrictions are relaxed - The more scaled and sophisticated the public heath infrastructure, the less you have to rely on blunt instruments of stay home orders

• Community-wide stay-at-home mandates
• Widespread remote work • Border closures and travel
restrictions
• Gradually reopen some business (e.g., retail / restaurants/ manufacturing with social distancing and cleaning/protection protocols)
• Strict quarantine guidelines for confirmed cases, close associates and travellers• Stay-at-home order for at-risk people• Remote work and mask-wearing still the norm• No large gatherings (e.g. no events >50 people) so churches, sports,
entertainment venues remain closed• Travel to / from hot spots restricted
• All businesses re-open, under mandated safety protocols
• Stay-at-home reinstated in areas with renewed outbreaks
• Prevalent use of vaccines, perhaps annually

Scenario 4
Minimally invasive measures (e.g. mask wearing, contact tracing) can be successful
Scenario 1
Moderate, on and off again partial social distancing
measures can be successful
Scenario 2
Full, blunt “lockdowns” are needed to be successful
Scenario 3
Virus resurges Maintain course & monitor
Are economic consequences acceptable?
No, approach proves too difficult to
operationalize or doesn’t work well

Success in each scenario defined as keeping projected active cases below hospital system capacity
12© Oliver Wyman
Minimally invasive measures Moderate social distancing Blunt lockdowns Controlled outbreak
• We sacrifice privacy and some freedoms, but suppress the virus
• Regional borders remain controlled/closed to avoid contagion
• We have few slower-growth outbreaks over the next 18+ months
• When case counts reach a critical threshold against hospital capacities, stricter lockdowns imposed
• We will periodically be in ‘today’s world’ over the next 18+ months
• Fiscal and monetary stimulus measures expand significantly to account for future outbreaks
• The virus spreads quickly through the general population
• Potential for future outbreaks depends significantly on the immunity of those previously infected
Targets for no future outbreaks occur, and we are
able to maintain a reasonable level of economic activity
Economic impacts are significant but lower than that
with minimally invasive measures
Impact on most affected sectors of the economy will be
deep and long-lasting
Immediate impact on economy is severe, but the pandemic is
relatively short-lived

‘CRISIS MANAGEMENT’ ISN’T ENOUGHCritical considerations/impacts Key questions
01 Seemingly “random” regional shutdowns
• Supply chains and facility locations
• Travel risks
• Customer demand
• Do I have adequate insights to anticipate risks and act early (vs. just react like in Phase 1)?
• Have I begun to diversify my supply chain and distribution channels?
• Do I have adequate resiliency plans, including for locations not impacted in Phase 1?
• Do I understand my financial risks at scale?
0220% absenteeism, with some employees severely ill
• Staffing challenges and need for redundancy
• Adequate protection, and the company’s role in monitoring
• Scalability of policies and benefits
• Whom do I allow back onsite and when?
• Do I know where my “hot spots” for employee risk are?
• Do I have flexible staffing and executive coverage plans?
03Significant mental health and wellbeing challenges for employees
• Cultural fractures as employees cope with social isolation, childcare responsibilities, health concerns, and financial stresses
• Video, email, and calendar overload
• Reduced productivity and impaired decision-making
• Have I invested in culturally-appropriate, virtual mental health support for my employees? Are they using it?
• Are current work-from-home support mechanisms durable for 12-15 months?
04 Unequal economic impact across sectors
• Significant small business failure
• Some sectors never bounce back
• New services and categories arise as customer needs are shaped by COVID-19
• How are my customers and business partners affected, and how will that impact my business?
• How has strategic control in my sector shifted?
• Do I have strategic opportunities for partnership or M&A?
05Changed customer behaviors (perhaps permanently)
• Preference for digital vs. physical
• Generational risk aversion
• Reduced trust in institutions
• Doubling down on local experiences
• Do I understand how customer and employee perceptions are like to shift?
• What are the opportunities for my business?
• What are the risks for my business?

OVERVIEW OF OLIVER WYMAN’S PANDEMIC NAVIGATOR
Supports private and public sector clients
• Draws on expertise from our Health & Life Sciences and Financial Services practices
• Underlying models are physics-informed, data-driven yet causally confirmed and use-case specific
Projects detected and undetected cases under different containment choices
• Estimates future outcomes for both Detected (tested and officially confirmed) and Undetected (e.g. asymptomatic) cases
• Compartmental model covers 40 countries and the 50 US states, updated continuously for emerging data
Evidence-based causal links• Linkages with mobility and government response – core model index
compared to Google’s Community Mobility indices as well as Oxford’s Government Stringency Index
Generates 18-36 month scenarios linked to underlying epidemiology and suppression
• Primarily descriptive in nature, rather than ‘predictive’
• Validated via near-term predictive powers for a given strategy – if the model doesn’t give sensible forecasts for the next 30 days (given a set of assumptions) then I’m less likely to trust it
Economic impacts by sector modelled for scenarios
• Health outcomes are fed into modules which estimate the economic impacts on 40+ sectors of the economy

• Worker protection and support like improved/extended unemployment
• Credit support for business, especially SMEs, through direct grants, subsidized credit
• Targeted support to specific industries (e.g. airlines)
01Fiscal response on both sides of the Atlantic has been massive, on the order of 6–10+% of GDP
02Central bank actions are exceeding those from the financial crisis
03Banks remain central to effective transmission of monetary and fiscal policy
• Central banks have taken many programs from the financial crisis off the shelf
• Significant intervention to support liquidity and credit formation
• ….. in the face of interest rates that are already near or below zero
• In financial crisis they were the problem, now they need to be part of the solution
• While in better shape than 2007, some systems are fitter than others….

Key observations from estimates
• Forecast updates have been frequent and sizable –Consensus is that bad news on the virus continues to outweigh good news on policy actions
• Forecasted Q2 qoq annualized growth rate in the US (~25–40% drop) will be the worst since we have quarterly data available
• Key indicators to track include:– Trend for percent of U.S.
population infected (scenarios ranging up to 80%)3
– Reliance on “smart” mitigation strategies (e.g., mass testing, use of analytics)
– Recovery speed in China, Europe

U.S. Unemployment Forecasts – Q1, Q2, Q3, and annualQuarterly unemployment rate, by select economic analysts (7)1
Key insights
• The annual unemployment forecasts assume a linear economic recovery starting in June, and do not account for the possibility of secondary waves of infection
• 22 million unemployment claims have been filed since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown, wiping out the last eleven years of job gains3 4
• The CARES Act has allocated $349 ($659?) Bn in forgivable loans to cover small business payroll expenses, padding against additional job losses in the short term

Auto Card Residential Student
• No market for repossessions (auctions closed, extended lease terms, mfgr. incentives)
• Card spending down
• Reputational tradeoffs with line management
• Position in wallet and payment hierarchy for customers with many cards critical
• Impediments to operational processes (appraisals, closings, verifications)
• Stress on servicers – liquidity (forbearance), ops (call volume)
• Significantly greater volumes and structural changes since the last crisis creates potential blind spots
THE COVID-19 CRISIS POSES A HOST OF NEW CHALLENGES FOR CUSTOMER AND RISK MANAGEMENT
• Scale and sharpness of pandemic is creating unprecedent volumes of distressed customers seeking help, with high financial, reputational, and operational stakes
• Level of uncertainty is high, with wide range of epidemiological, economic, and policy scenarios to accounted for… including path to recovery and potential subsequent flare-ups
• Responses will be under many microscopes and must balance customer needs, government rules, employee safety, and shareholder expectations, among others
• Existing analytics and strategies are unreliable as macro factors, policy action, and changes in customer behavior go far outside historical range
• The premium on rapid response and switch to digital channel increases susceptibility to fraud and cyber risks• Coordination across numerous systems in a remote environment is stressing existing infrastructure and processes, and making seamless
customer journey management even more challenging
Example product-specific challenges

Emergency response (In the past)
Mobilizing for sustainable response (Next 1-3 months)
Navigating through and beyond the crisis (3+ months)
• Support customers: Respond to immediate queries
• Put tactical measures in place: Implement government support measures, payment holidays, and suspend decisions
• Initial impact assessment: Understand high-level P&L and Balance Sheet
• Set bank purpose and principles
• Develop customer offering and credit strategy
• Enable operational delivery at-scale
• Learn fast – real-time feedback loops
(see next page)
• Continue to learn and refine: Continue to refine risk and customer management strategies as the COVID-19 scenario unfolds
• Define your strategy and capabilities for a new normal: Look forward to the process and capabilities that must be transformed for the potentially long tail of the crisis and beyond
AS THE COVID CRISIS PERSISTS, IT IS CRITICAL FOR BANKS TO BEGIN DESIGNING AND PLANNING FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE RISK MANAGEMENT RESPONSES
Banks have already moved quickly to offer forbearance to customers, while tightly controlling new credit extensions – these actions buy time, giving some breathing space to customers and banks alike

CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE LAST CRISIS
• Duration of hardship is a key driver of lasting solutions… And solving payment affordability is key to stabilizing performance– Payment deferral helps smooth over a few of months, but “catching up” can quickly fall further out of reach for some– Sustainable alignment of payment with capacity is needed to address longer income shortfalls; there are many ways to get
there, with potentially very different costs to the bank
• Importance of a customer-level view– Many of the hardest-hit customers have several forms of debt – understanding the full picture is critical to structuring
realistic payment plans– Coordination across lenders, or with investors, create complex incentive and operational issues
• Behavioral changes under stress– Last crisis saw the rise of the “strategic default” in mortgage arena– This time the “new normal” may change relative prioritization of e.g. home vs. auto payments– Also be wary of increased attempts at fraud, cyber
• Process complexity and lack of clarity can quickly become a problem – especially given scale– The last recession left a long tail of regulatory and legal troubles for banks– Some complexity is unavoidable, i.e. imposed by overlapping regulatory and third-party requirements– Banks must design their internal offerings and processes proactively to manage and complexity, and allow scalability
• Operational teams should be prepared and cross-trained for rolling surges in load across different processes
• A well-managed customer journey can win lasting loyalty
