Know Your Customer Participant Guide

Importance of the AML and Sanctions Program Governments and regulatory agencies in jurisdictions impose specific requirements on financial institutions globally in order to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion and other criminal activities (collectively referred to herein as “Money Laundering”).

Financial institutions must comply with all Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Sanctions laws and regulations in jurisdictions of operation. Due to State Street’s international presence, the institution must comply with various AML and Sanctions regimes.

The purpose this training is to provide State Street’s Business Units with uniform and detailed guidance to prevent the Business Unit and its employees from involvement in money laundering, fraudulent activity, and the financing of terrorist activities.

It is the Business Unit who ultimately owns the risk any customer relationship poses to State Street. The AML requirements and controls in place for specific customer types and risk levels for the Business Unit to comply with State Street’s Global AML and Sanctions Policies.

Topics

1. Know Your Customer Components2. Consequences of Non-Compliance3. First, Second, and Third Lines of Defense4. Customers at State Street5. Accounts6. Customer Types7. New and Existing Customers8. Know Your Customer Lifecycle and Escalation9. Opening an Account10. Overview of the AML Toolkit

IntroductionThe AML and Sanctions policies were developed using a Risk-Based Approach. This approach allows State Street to identify, assess, and understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risks that State Street is exposed to, by categorizing its customers as High, Medium, or Low.

The higher the risk, the more due diligence is required to prevent and mitigate these risks.

A critical part of this process is to Know Your Customer (KYC).

OverviewState Street is committed to complying with AML regulations, as implemented by the State Street AML and Sanctions Programs. KYC encompasses standards and procedures designed to ensure State Street knows with they are doing business with.

KYC is the process used by State Street to verify the identity of their customers. KYC is becoming increasingly important globally to prevent identity theft, financial fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. State Street is committed to complying with AML regulations, as implemented by the State Street AML and Sanctions policies.

The objective of KYC is to prevent State Street from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities. Our policies and procedures enable State Street to know and understand our customers, and their financial dealings better. This helps State Street to manage their risks prudently.

Topic 1: Know Your Customer ComponentsOverviewKYC is comprised of the following three components:

Customer Identification Program (CIP)

This process is a risk-based approach designed to enable the First Line of Defense to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the customer. This process involves the collection and verification of a customer’s identification information before the customer is onboarded.

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

This process allows the First Line of Defense to assess the AML and Sanctions risk associated with the customer and obtaining information sufficient to develop an understanding of normal and expected activity.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

This process provides for a closer review of High-risk customers. Their activities are reviewed more closely at the time the account is opened and more frequently throughout the term of the relationship.

Topic 6: Customer Types

OverviewOnce the customer and the account have been identified, before we can determine what KYC requirements are needed, we need to determine the customer type.

The following table lists State Street’s customer types and their definitions.

Customer Type Definitions

Bank (Foreign and Domestic)

Banks are financial institutions licensed to receive deposits, and are categorized as either Retail/Commercial or Investment Banks. Retail/Commercial Banks manage deposits and withdrawals from customers, while Investment Banks provide services to clients. Custodial Banks are included in the definition of "Banks," however, financial institutions such as MSBs, insurance companies and Investment Advisors are not.

Charities, Religious Group and Non-Profit

Non-Profits are organizations that use surplus revenue to achieve goals rather than distributing the revenue as profits or dividends. Charities receive donations which are used to administer a specific program for the greater good. Charities are unique types of non-profit organizations in that the Charity administers funds to meet non-profit and philanthropic goals, as well as social well-being, and are exempt from federal income tax. Religious Groups also receive donations which are used to carry out specific programs related to the mission of the religious organization. Religious groups are also non-profits and are tax exempt.

Foundations/ Endowments

A foundation is a type of private tax-exempt nonprofit organization that supports charitable activities in order to serve the common good through grants. Foundations are often created with endowments, or money given by individuals, families or corporations, which may or may not be managed by an investment advisor. They generally make grants with the income earned from investing the endowments, and do not carry out their own programs. Foundations and Endowments do not have to operate for charitable purposes. Institutions such as hospitals or universities and those that generally have broad public support or actively function in a supporting relationship to such organizations are exempt from the definition of a Private Foundation.

Government, Government Agency and Central Bank/Monetary Authority

Governments, Government Agencies and Central Banks/Monetary Authorities are those Customers whose sole existence is to perform government functions. They are fully owned, established and operated by a local, regional or national government, and all activities performed by the Customer are in the public sector.

Hedge Fund, Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund(Closed-Ended)

Hedge Funds, Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds all pool and invest their clients’ money in an effort to make a positive return, and are generally characterized as posing a higher risk to Investors due to limited redemption cycles, ability to borrow against the funds capital and lack of regulatory oversight. The Investments are managed by the heads of each fund, and can be used to purchase debt or equity in a company.

Individual - Citizen/ Non-Citizen

All accounts opened solely for Individuals (and not companies), regardless of the Individual's country of citizenship, fall under the Customer Type of Individual-Citizen/Non-Citizen.

The following table lists State Street’s customer types and their definitions.

Customer Type Definitions

Insurance Company

All accounts opened for Customers in the business of offering any type of Insurance Policy to the public, regardless of whether or not the company is publically or privately held, should be classified under Insurance Companies.

Investment Advisor (Regulated)

Regulated Investment Advisors are comprised of Individuals registered with the SEC, State Securities Agency, FSA (or local equivalent) acting on behalf of a fund. A Regulated Investment Advisor is a person or group that makes investment recommendations or conducts securities analysis in return for a fee, whether through direct management of client assets or via written publications. Investment Managers act on behalf of a fund, and are responsible for executing the investments recommended by the Advisors. Promoters also fall within this definition as they are the individuals responsible for setting up funds. Typically, the promoter raises the cash for the fund but doesn't invest themselves (in many jurisdictions promoter regime currently only applies to UCITS funds).

Investment Advisor (Unregulated)

Unregulated Investment Advisors are comprised of Individuals not registered with the SEC, State Securities Agency, FSA (or local equivalent) acting on behalf of a fund. An Unregulated Investment Advisor is a person or group that makes investment recommendations or conducts securities analysis in return for a fee, whether through direct management of client assets or via written publications. Investment Managers act on behalf of a fund, and are responsible for executing the investments recommended by the Advisors. Promoters also fall within this definition as they are the individuals responsible for setting up funds. Typically, the promoter raises the cash for the fund but doesn't invest themselves (in many jurisdictions promoter regime currently only applies to UCITS funds).

Money Service Businesses (MSB)

Money Service Businesses are defined as those who, whether or not on a regular basis, act as currency dealers or exchangers, cash checks, issue traveler's checks, money orders or stored value, sell or redeem traveler's checks, money orders or stored value or transmit money. Traditional financial institutions who are regulated are exempt from the definition of MSB. In many jurisdictions, MSBs are subject to regulation.

Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds and Commingled Trusts are investment vehicles made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets for the sole purpose of generating investor profit. Mutual Funds and Commingled Trusts are operated by money managers, who invest the fund's capital in accordance with objectives set out in the prospectus, and attempt to produce capital gains and income for investors. Mutual Funds are regulated by the SEC, FSA, or local equivalent, while Commingled Trusts are not.

Pension Plans

Pension Plans are a means for an employee to save for retirement. Pension plans allow for an employer to make contributions toward a pool of funds set aside for an employee's future benefit. The pool of funds is then invested on the employee's behalf, allowing the employee to receive benefits upon retirement. Pension plans can be set up by employers (private or public corporations), as well as a Government Agency.

Know Your Customer Participant Guide

The following table lists State Street’s customer types and their definitions.

Customer Type Definitions

Personal Investment Vehicle/ Personal Holding Company/ Personal Investment Company

Personal Investment Vehicles are investment entities which are privately owned. Private Investment Vehicles tend to be complex, and enable a high level of anonymity. Personal Holding Companies are corporations where at least 60% of the adjusted gross income for a tax year is income of the Personal Holding Company, and who have more than 50% of the value of the corporation's outstanding stock is directly or indirectly owned by five or fewer individuals. Personal Investment Companies are private limited companies used as long term investment vehicles and are subject to tax benefits due to the fact they are often located in offshore investment jurisdictions.

Private Company

Private Companies are companies whose shares are not available for public purchase or listed on a stock exchange. Private companies may be regulated or unregulated, and can be established as Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, Limited Partnerships, Corporations, Unincorporated Businesses or General Partnerships.

Public Company

Public Companies are companies whose shares are available for public purchase and listed on an approved stock exchange. All public companies are regulated, and can be established as Publically Traded Partnerships (limited public stock offering and ownership by partners which can be individuals or corporations) or Corporations.

Securities & Commodities (Broker/Dealer)

Securities and Commodities Broker/Dealers are firms or individuals who serve as Agents by executing orders to buy or sell securities or commodities on behalf of clients and charges them a commission for conducting trades.

Special Purpose Vehicle

Special Purpose Vehicles ("SPVs") are legal entities created to fulfill narrow, specific or temporary objectives usually created to isolate a company from financial risk. The SPV is usually a subsidiary company with an asset/liability structure and legal status that makes its obligations secure even if the parent company goes bankrupt. Regardless of whether or not the SPV's parent is private or public, Customers meeting this definition should be categorized as SPVs.

Supra National Organization

A Supranational Organization is an organization, or union of multiple countries whose members share in the decision-making and vote on issues pertaining to the wider grouping. Supranational Organizations are not considered Government Agencies due to the fact they are made up of multiple governments. Examples of Supranational Organizations include the United Nations and the European Union.

Trusts (Corp & Individual)

A Trust is a relationship whereby property is held by one party for the benefit of another. A trust is created by a settlor, who transfers some or all of his or her property to the trust. Trustee(s) hold that property for the trust's beneficiaries, who are Corporations, not Individuals. The trust itself is not a legal entity, but the relationship is formed for the benefit of a stand-alone company. The Trustee(s) are responsible for affairs attendant to the trust, which may include prudently investing the assets of the trust for the Corporate Beneficiaries; however the Trustee(s) sole purpose is not to create profit for the ultimate beneficiaries.

Many State Street Business Units utilize sub-accounts to support their internal or customer's operational purposes, for example, a foreign exchange customer with Sub-Accounts in different fiat currencies.

These Sub-Accounts have no AML obligations under the Global AML Policy; all AML responsibilities will be executed at the Master Account level. Sub-Accounts under this construct will not be included as part of KPI/KRI reporting.

Topic 8: Know Your Customer Lifecycle and Escalation LifecycleThe following table provides information related to the timelines associated for completing KYC.

Customer Type KYC Timing

New Customer

For new customers and accounts, CIP, CDD, AML Customer Risk Rating (CRR), and EDD, if applicable, must be conducted prior to opening an account and rendering services.

In the event that the new customer and account holder are separate legal entities, CIP, CDD, AML CRR, and EDD, if applicable, must be conducted on the contracting and account holder before the account is opened and services are rendered.

New Account Existing Customer Same as Account Holder

For existing customers who are establishing a new account with either the same or different division of State Street, where the contracting party is the same as the account holder, the existing customer’s CIP data must be verified before the account is opened and services are rendered.

CDD, AML CRR, and EDD, if applicable, must be completed within 30 calendar days of account opening.

The existing customer maintains its current risk rating until the risk rating for the new account is calculated. The new account risk rating is factored into the AML CRR upon completion.

Existing Customer Different from Account Holder

For existing customers who are establishing a new account with either the same or different Business Unit of State Street, where the contracting party is different from the account holder, the existing customer’s CIP (contracting entity’s CIP) data must be verified before the account is opened or services are rendered.

Customer and account related CDD, AML CRR, and EDD, if applicable, must be performed within 30 calendar days of account opening.

The existing customer maintains its current risk rating until the new risk rating for the new account is calculated.

The new account risk rating is factored into the AML CRR on completion, though the account is a separate legal entity entering the organization through the original customer.

Before opening the account and rendering services, CIP, CDD, AML CRR, and EDD, if applicable, must be conducted at both the customer and account level.

Existing Customer New Sub-Account

For existing customers opening a new sub-account, full KYC is only required when the master and sub-account are different legal entities and have different ultimate beneficial ownership. Additional guidance can be found in the AML and Sanctions Business Unit Standard Operating Procedures.

In instances where CDD is required for a sub-account, the existing customer’s CIP data must be verified before the sub-account is opened and services are rendered. CDD, EDD (if applicable), and AML CRR must be completed within 30 calendar days of account opening.

EscalationIf within 30 calendar days of account opening there is still outstanding information required to complete CIP, CDD or EDD, a plan to remediate the situation, signed by the Business Unit Executive Management Committee member, shall be submitted to the Global Chief AML Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer.

If, after 60 calendar days of account opening, there is still outstanding information required to complete the CDD or EDD process, a plan to terminate the customer (including a termination date) will be submitted to the full State Street Executive Management Committee for approval by Business Unit management.

Additionally, the Global Chief AML Officer will report to the AML Compliance Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) all accounts with incomplete CDD or EDD after 60 calendar days from account opening (and any accounts terminated within this timeframe due to incomplete CDD or EDD) for consideration of SAR filing.

Topic 9: Opening an Account OverviewThe relationship with the customer begins when the account is opened and services are rendered.

There are three types of established relationships within State Street:

1. Custody Relationship/Account2. Bank Account 3. Services Rendered

The following table describes the type of established relationships within State Street.

Type of Account Description

Custody Relationship/Account

Overview:When describing a custody relationship, Business Units refers to its customers as “Bundled” or “standalone.”

Standalone: Term used when a Business Unit is the primary owner of the custody relationship.

Bundled: Term used when a Business Unit is NOT the primary owner of the custody relationship. In this case, the Business Unit is a secondary provider of products or services to an existing custody relationship with a different Business Unit.

Definition:No later than the day prior to the first transaction date on the account, it is considered an open “live” account.

Example: Initial Securities Movement on June 30, 20XX; KYC should be complete no

later than June 29, 20XX.

Therefore, in certain circumstances, an account can be opened and account numbers can be added to subscription documents in advance of a fund going live.

Bank Account

Overview:This is a traditional DDA account. This type of relationship is uncommon at State Street, due to our lack of retail banking operations, and comprises only a small percentage of our total relationships.

Definition:Once an account is ready to transact or is capable of receiving a deposit, it is considered an open “live” account.

Example: Once an account is open on the Hogan deposit system, it is considered an

open “live” account.

The following table describes the type of established relationships within State Street.

Type of Account Description

Services Rendered

Overview:These are “service” oriented activities provided to the customer.

Definition:The earlier of:

1) The date the contract has been signed, or

2) After the first service has been provided to the customer.

Examples: When the first State Street generated report from the account is delivered to

the customer.

When servicing commences, generally by way of a signed agreement noting that services should not be performed until the agreement is signed.

Topic 10: Overview of the AML Toolkit OverviewThe AML KYC Toolkit sets the foundation of our AML Program. The following table describes the components of the AML KYC toolkit.

Component Description

Global AML and Sanctions Policies

The Global Policies establish comprehensive policies, principles and standards to protect State Street’s, and its employees, shareholders’ and customers’ from exposure to AML and Sanctions risks.

Global AML and Sanctions Business Unit Standard Operating Procedures

The Global AML and Sanctions Business Unit Standard Operating Procedures are designed to assist the First Line of Defense in meeting regulatory expectations as well as State Street’s expectations on processes, activities, and controls defined as part of the AML and Sanctions’ control environment.

Customer Translation Table

The Customer Translation Table helps the Business Unit map their existing customer types to the new State Street customer types.

KYC Requirements Matrix

The KYC Requirements Matrix outlines the Policy requirements for KYC at State Street. It includes a description of each requirement including data and evidence that must be acquired, verified and recorded by customer type.

KYC Platform

The KYC Technology Platform is a tool created to:

Facilitate communication and workflow between Business Units and AML KYC CoE (Shared Services).

Provide a facility for uploading and storing of documents.

Create a record of compliance with KYC Procedures.

The KYC Technology Platform supports all components of KYC as well as risk rating calculations for customers, where State Street has a regulatory obligation.

KYC Platform functionality allows a user to:

Establish a Legal Entity.

Manage KYC tasks and workflow.

Upload documents to the customer’s file for evidence, including the AML risk rating and screening results.

Have one enterprise-wide record and repository to ensure compliance with AML regulations related to KYC.

Know Your Customer Participant Guide

The following table describes the components of the AML KYC toolkit.

Component Description

AML CRR

State Street’s policy requires the First Line of Defense to assess each customer’s money laundering risk.

A customer relationship includes accounts, products, services, and regulatory and geographic risks that vary across accounts; so each is addressed separately when conducting the risk rating.

An overall rating is assigned based on the evaluation of the customer’s characteristics.

Risk Forms (EDD Customer Profile and the Low/Medium and High Periodic Review Forms)

The EDD Customer Profile Form and the Periodic (Low/Medium or High) Review Forms are designed to provide the First Line of Defense uniform documents for use when executing either EDD or periodic review activities.

Lesson 1: Summary KYC is comprised of the following three components: CIP, CDD, and EDD. State Street has no tolerance for breaches within its AML and Sanctions Programs. The

consequences of breaches can be significant. To support the activities within the Target Operating Model (TOM), the First, Second, and Third Lines

of Defenses have been formed. A customer is a person contracting directly with State Street for the provision of products and

services. A customer can be either a Non-Individual or an Individual. An "account" is a formal banking or brokerage relationship established to provide or engage in

services, dealings, or other financial transactions, and includes a deposit account, a transaction or asset account, investment management account, credit account, or another extension of credit.

Once the customer and the account have been identified, before we can determine what KYC requirements are needed, we need to determine the customer type.

Completing KYC varies depending on whether the customer is New or Existing. The relationship with the customer begins when the account is opened and services are rendered. There are three types of established relationships within State Street: Custody Relationship/Account,

Bank Account, and Services Rendered. The AML KYC Toolkit comprises: Global AML & Sanctions Policies, Global AML and Sanctions

Business Unit Standard Operating Procedures, Customer Translation Table, KYC Requirements Matrix, KYC Platform, AML CRR, and Risk Forms (EDD Customer Profile and the Low/Medium and High Periodic Review forms).

Lesson 2: Customer Identification Program

Topics

1. Customer Notice (US Customers Only)

2. Required Information for Customer Identification

3. Customer Identification Program Exemptions and Simplified Due Diligence

4. Customer Verification

5. Material Discrepancies

IntroductionThe State Street Global AML Policy requires the First Line of Defense to implement CIP. The CIP includes risk-based procedures designed to enable the Business Unit to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of each customer.

As per this policy:

The Business Unit must be able to identify the true identity of the customer. The Business Unit obtains and validates the identification information for each customer. The KYC Shared Service performs verification for each customer.

29

The First Line of Defense will utilize the AML KYC Requirements Matrix and the procedure template to determine what information must be obtained and verified for each customer type.

Know Your Customer Participant Guide

Topic 1: Customer Notice (US Customers Only)OverviewAll Business Units are required to provide U.S. customers with adequate notice that State Street is requesting information to verify their identity.

The customer notice should/will be:

Available in various forms depending on the manner in which the customer opens an account. Adequate if the Business Unit gives a general description of the identification requirements.

Adequate if the Business Unit provides it in a way that is reasonably designed to ensure that customers can see it or know about it before opening an account.

At a minimum, the following text needs to be provided:

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, law requires all FIs to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.”

Topic 3: Customer Identification Program Exemptions and Simplified Due DiligenceOverviewA CIP exemption, often referred to as Simplified Due Diligence (SDD), is a reduced form of due diligence in specific circumstances only, and is considered appropriate for certain customers where the money laundering or terrorist financing risk is deemed to be lower.

SDD must adhere to relevant legislation, and in line with State Street’s AML Risk Assessment.

Customers qualifying for CIP exemption do not need to share copies of licenses or charters.

The following table provides details related to verification for exempted customers.

Exempt Customer Validation

Financial Institutions (FIs) with an approved regulator

Note: Accounts opened for the purpose of participating in an employee benefit plan established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), or similar is excluded from the definition of an account and not subject to CIP.

Confirmation of the regulated status for FIs must be established through the regulator’s or self-regulatory organization’s website

Public Companies traded on an approved Stock exchange

Confirmation must include their listed status established through appropriate market data sources, such as Stock Exchange website, and supporting documentation obtained concerning exchange and registration.

Governmental entities Confirmation must provide documentation certifying their exempt status.

Important Notes If a customer is flagged as eligible for CIP Exemption/SDD, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

must validate and approve eligibility based upon the requirements. Evidence of this review and sign off, by a supervisor/manager as specified in local procedures, must be in writing and uploaded to the KYC Platform.

CIP Exemption/SDD does not preclude the necessity of performing due diligence on a customer. It simply precludes the necessity for having to verify the identity of a customer.

Topic 4: Customer VerificationOverviewAs part of the CIP, AML KYC CoE (KYC Shared Services) must verify the customer identification information collected during the CIP, to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the customer.

Two types of verification methods are available: Documentary verification and Non-Documentary verification. AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) may use one or both of those methods when verifying the identity of customers.

The following table describes the Documentary and Non-Documentary Methods of verification.

Documentary Method Non-Documentary Method

Purpose

Methods that rely on verifying the customer’s identity through the inspection of physical documents.

Methods that rely on verifying the customer’s identity through the collection of customer information using non-documentary sources, for example:

documents meet current standards and were valid at the time obtained

Customer verification can be performed via a public domain using:

Email Faxed copy or hard copy

Note: If documents are not in English, a certification that confirms the appropriateness of the document may be relied upon.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow FIs to make a photocopy of a customer’s identification document.

If a photocopy or image of the document is not retained, a record must be made with a description for the relevant document.

If documentary verification is used, the following needs to be retained:

Description of the document that was used, noting the type of document

Any identification number contained in the document Place of issuance Date of issuance Expiration date

A copy or screen print of the non-documentary source should be retained.

If a copy of the non-documentary report or print screen is not retained, a record must be made to verify the identity of the customer, such as the name of the source and the unique identifier provided for future reference purposes. The record should include the following:

Date of the review of the non-documentary source Description of the method used Results, including if no record was found.

All non-documentary verification must be retained as part of the customer profile within the KYC Platform for five years after the record is made or longer, if required by local regulations. This may include:

The results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of the customer.

The results of any measures undertaken to verify the identity of additional controlling persons.

A description of resolution of any substantive discrepancies that were discovered when verifying identifying information.

Topic 5: Material DiscrepanciesOverviewIn the course of verifying the identity of a customer, material discrepancies may arise between:

Information obtained from the customer Information obtained during the verification process

Example: TIN or address that does not match with what the customer originally provided.

Resolving DiscrepanciesAML KYC CoE (Shared Services) may use one or more of the following steps to resolve such material discrepancies before the customer’s account is opened:

1. Confirm information received from the customer is correct.

2. Verify identity through additional means.

Escalating DiscrepanciesIf material discrepancies cannot be resolved, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) is responsible for:

Alerting the Business Unit AML Officer Providing details of what customer information does not match, including the documentation

sources where the customer information can be found. Maintaining a record of such material discrepancies by documenting it and its resolution in the

customer’s profile.

If the material discrepancy cannot be resolved and verification cannot be completed, the customer’s account cannot be opened and the matter must be considered by AML Compliance for suspicious activity reporting.

Discrepancies not deemed to be material might include inability to verify an address – for instance, a recent change of resident/office.

All records related to the discrepancies made in the course of verifying identification of customers and how the discrepancy was resolved must be documented in the customer’s profile and maintained for a period of at least five years from the date of the record.

4. Standard CDD: Source of Wealth

5. Standard CDD: Screening

6. Targeted CDD: Customer Finances

7. Customer Risk Rating

Introduction

The First Line of Defense assesses the AML and Sanctions risks associated with the customer by collecting and analyzing additional information and conducting name and country screening.

The First Line of Defense is responsible for obtaining and collecting customer information to:

Anticipate the types of transactions in which a customer is likely to engage.

Provide information that can be used in monitoring and reporting of suspicious activity.

Assess the money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with a customer.

Obtain documentation that identifies whether that entity’s shares are held in bearer form or that the entity is authorized to issue bearer shares for privately-held legal entities.

The CDD process includes screening, risk rating and the KYC requirements by customer type. In addition, the CDD process outlines the required KYC information and identifies specific documentation and information requirements by customer type for both new and existing customers.

Standard CDD vs. Targeted CDDWithin CDD, there are two types:

1. Standard CDD: Completed for all customers, regardless of the Customer Type2. Targeted CDD: Completed only for certain Customer Types.

43

CDD begins with the identification and verification of the customer’s identity. In the CDD process, the Business Unit must obtain information and AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) which will validates the information provided by the Business Unit which will be sufficient to develop an understanding of normal and expected activity for the customer’s occupation, business operations, and financial situation.

Know Your Customer Participant Guide

Topic 1: Standard CDD: Purpose of an AccountOverviewThe Business Unit must:

Gather information about the customer’s anticipated activity. Ensure that information required is commensurate with the risk associated with the products and

services to be delivered and/or the customer segment. Include details of what products and services are being provided to the customer and intended

use of the product. Complete the applicable CDD process requirements and include the customer’s account profile in

the customer’s KYC file in the customer database system to ensure that the appropriate CDD information is captured to clearly evidence and document the CDD process.

Important Note Determining the purpose of an account is a qualitative assessment based on the information that is gathered from the customer. Within the KYC Platform, there is a list of reasons and you must choose the one that best fits the customer. (For example - Investments in Stock Market, Retirement Investments, Estate Planning etc.)

Topic 2: Standard CDD: Building Customer’s Anticipated Activity ProfileOverviewBefore the customer’s account opening process is complete, the Business Unit must collect information to cover:

Anticipated account activity - Reflect higher risk activities that are expected- Transactions that are not routine (i.e., a one-time transaction as a result of the sale of a

property or a loan disbursement) Source of funds Source of wealth

High-risk transactions will be documented as part of the customer profile and is a factor in determining the customer’s risk rating. High Risk transactions can include international wires to/from High-risk jurisdictions or international ACH transactions (IAT).

The Business Unit will accept only those customers whose source of funds and source of wealth can be reasonably established to be legitimate. In the case of UBOs, it may be necessary to establish the ultimate source of funds for the account and whose source of wealth should be subject to due diligence.

Refer to the AML KYC Requirements Matrix for relevant documentation that needs to be collected per category.

To help build the anticipated activity profile, the Business Unit must obtain the following information:

Country of formation/operations

Type of business

Products and services requested

Legal entity structure

Topic 4: Standard CDD: Source of WealthOverviewIn order to evaluate the source of a customer’s wealth, the Business Unit should gather information relevant to the manner in which the customer’s assets were obtained. This is the accumulation of the customer’s net worth which includes, in part, the funds held by State Street.

For example, the information collected by the Business Unit will differ depending on whether the wealth was acquired through:

Investments or investment returns Ownership of a business Employment Professional practice or otherwise.

The following table provides detailed information related to a customer’s source of wealth.

ExampleThe tables below walks through a mutual fund example, the following 4 factors are used to satisfy the Source of Wealth requirement for a customer from the KYC Platform. The following factors work together to tell a story of the customer, from the identification of the customer type, nature of business, the sources, and the overall justification statement.

Customer Type Nature of the Business Source of Wealth Justification

This begins the KYC process defining the requirements for each customer type.

Identification of the customer type offers immediate, inherent information related to the customer itself. For example if the customer is an open ended mutual fund, it can be assumed already that the fund has many investors that participate or contribute to the fund, and that the assets are from the investors.

Mutual Fund Individuals Banks Investment Advisor

(regulated) Pension Fund Charity Endowment

The nature of business has a risk rating associated with it and is essential information to understanding the customer, as well as contributing to the understanding of the operations and reasonableness of the source of wealth.

The type of business in which the customer engages can be found through the SIC/NAICS/NACE codes which should already be entered in the KYC Platform (reused from requirement #21 in the KYC Platform). The industry of best fit for an open ended mutual fund, identified in the previous box example is in bold below.

525910 - Open-End Investment Funds

531 - Real Estate 525 - Funds, Trusts, and

Other Financial Vehicles 5251 - Insurance and

Employee Benefit Funds 525110 - Pension Funds 525930 - Real Estate

Investment Trusts

The source of wealth requirement states: Verify from the customer the source of wealth. (This is not simply the name of the institution from which the funds are coming, but the accumulation of the customer’s net worth, which includes, in part, the funds held by State Street).

Following the open ended mutual fund example, given that the fund has many investors and is a vehicle to make investments and returns for its investors the below options fit as sources of wealth for the fund, bolded below.

Pick list Drop Down of the various sources of wealth:

Investment Income/Returns Business Operations Subscriptions Government Donations Earnings (Sale of Shares) Earnings (Sale of Business) Earnings (Sale of Property) Earnings (Sale of Investments) Earnings (Maturing investments or policy claim) Earnings (Investment related income - e.g., dividends) Employment (Salaried) Employment (Retirement Income) Employment (Self-employed) Inheritance/Family Gift Insurance Proceeds/Settlement Divorce Settlement Winnings (Government Lottery) Winnings (Non-Government Lottery)

The source of wealth takes a number of factors into consideration. An assessment must be conducted utilizing the information collected from previous requirements during KYC. Factors contributing to the Source of Wealth's accuracy and reasonableness include:

From where the funds came; How the customer came into the funds; From whom, if received from another individual, or entity; When the funds were acquired; and The location(s) from where the funds came.

Free form text

The above parameters, combined with the industry, and customer type, as well as the sources of income over time lead to a narrative regarding the source of wealth. For example:

An Investment Manager recently brought in a Mutual Fund, which is an open-ended investment fund (525910), with thousands of investors, and is targeted for long term investment returns.

(This leads one to assess that a mutual fund which accepts a large amount of capital from investors to grow the investment returns is reasonable. This source of wealth is justified as one can expect that operations, fees, investments and earnings all contribute to the source of wealth, and the immediate source of funds are directly attributable to investments from new shareholders).

Topic 5: Standard CDD: ScreeningOverviewAML KYC CoE Shared Services conducts screening on the names and countries associated with customers, all UBOs, and any other related and specified controlling parties, and associated third parties prior to opening the customer’s account.

Screening consists of the following searches:

Global, Local, and State Street Sanctions Lists World Check Iran Economic Interest Database (IEI Database) AML Compliance Counterparty AML Watch List Negative news Search (through World Check or another vendor) PEP Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Section 311 Special Measures

Sanctions ScreeningsAt customer onboarding, names and countries of all customers, UBOs and any other related and specified controlling parties, and associated third parties must be screened for Sanctions purposes using the following lists:

Global, Local, and State Street Sanctions Lists

World Check IEI Database

AML Compliance Counterparty AML Watch List

After running the searches noted above, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) will review all potential and partial search results. The Business Unit will review each potential match to determine whether the results are false positives or confirmed matches.

Negative NewsAll customers, UBOs and any other related and specified controlling parties, and associated third parties must be screened for negative news items, and once analyzed, should be designated as relevant or non-relevant.

Negative news can be classified as relevant negative news and non-relevant negative news.

The following table provides details related to relevant negative news and non-relevant negative news.

Relevant Negative News Non-Relevant Negative News

Relevant Negative News is when the customer poses a High-risk.

Generally, only negative information that reflects the reputation of the customer for legal or regulatory compliance is relevant, such as:

Criminal or regulatory enforcement actions

Money laundering or Sanctions violations

Other illegal activity that was conducted by or facilitated by the customer

Negative financial news or information about litigation with customers or competitors also generally is not relevant. Crimes committed against the customer generally may not be relevant, such as embezzlement and/or traffic violation. If there is any doubt whether negative news is relevant, the Business Unit AML Officer must be consulted.

In the case of a confirmed match and materiality, the Business Unit will contact the Business Unit AML Officer and AML Compliance Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) on the same day.

Non-relevant negative news largely pertains to less significant instances of the activities described above. The offenses are typically isolated and/or minor in nature.

Non-relevant negative news corresponds to incidents that reflect no significant reputational, legal, or financial impact on the customer.

It should be noted that, multiple instances of a non-relevant behavior that appear to suggest control issues for an individual or institution may collectively be interpreted as relevant.

Politically Exposed Person (PEP)

PEP Definition

PEP Customer Onboarding

A PEP is defined as a current or former:

Senior official (i.e., individual with substantial authority over policy, operations, or use of government-owned resources) in the executive, legislative, administrative, military, or judicial branches of a foreign government whether elected or not

Senior official of a major foreign political party

Senior executive of a foreign government-owned commercial enterprise

A corporation, business, or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, any such Individual

A corporation, business, or other entity whereby more than fifty percent (%) of the board members or ownership rights are (controlled by) such individual(s)

An immediate family member of any such individual (i.e., spouse, parent, sibling, children, or spouse’s parents and siblings)

A person who is widely and publicly known (or actually known by State Street) to be a close associate of such individual, i.e., senior level advisor

Note: The term PEP refers to foreign and domestic Non-Individuals/Individuals.

State Street and Business Unit management are responsible for ensuring that State Street do not knowingly or unwittingly assist in hiding or moving funds that represent the proceeds of corruption by PEPs, where AML Compliance is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the control environment around PEPs at the Business Unit level.

After a PEP is identified through the CDD process, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) should collect specific CDD information via the Business Unit or documentation related to the PEP and assess the associated AML risk.

In determining the level of risk, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) should consider factors such as:

Official duties of the individual

Nature of the title (e.g., honorary or salaried)

Level of authority over government activities or other government officials

Access to significant government assets or funds

Control over the account

Negative news or other reports

55

In order to meet its regulatory obligations State Street is required to identify customers, and nominal or UBOs, who are PEPs. PEPs may generally be viewed as High-risk customers.

The following table provides detailed information related to a PEP.

FinCEN Section 311 Special MeasuresSection 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 311) grants the Secretary of the Treasury the authority, upon finding that reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a foreign jurisdiction, foreign FI, class of transaction, or type of account is of “primary money laundering concern,” to require domestic FIs and financial agencies (such as banks) to take certain “special measures” against the entity identified as a primary money laundering concern.

These special measures, which may be proposed and implemented by Treasury's FinCEN, range from requiring additional due diligence and special attention concerning particular account transactions among U.S. FIs to prohibiting the opening or maintenance of any correspondent or payable through accounts.

The following special measures can be imposed individually, jointly, in any combination and in any sequence:

Recordkeeping on and reporting of certain transactions

Collection of information relating to beneficial ownership

Collection of information relating to certain payable-through accounts

Collection of information relating to certain correspondent accounts

Prohibition or conditions on the opening or maintaining of correspondent or payable-through accounts

Topic 6: Targeted CDD: Customer FinancesOverviewFor all relevant customer types, the Business Unit seeks to obtain financial information, as a source of CDD information for the customer. It should be noted that obtaining these documents is mandatory for Financial Institutions (FIs).

The following table provides details related to Separate Annual Report and Consolidated Annual Report.

Separate Annual Report Annual Report Consolidated into Parent Report

The following should be documented from the company website, audited financial statements or provided by the entity:

Name of external auditors

Evidence of audit

The most recent audited financial statements, within the last two years

Jurisdictional equivalent to audited financials

Justification/attestation, approved by AML Compliance, for lack of information

Note: Some jurisdictions may not have these available due to jurisdictional regulations, in those instances, the jurisdictional equivalent; justification and an attestation are acceptable.

There may be circumstances where the customer is either a wholly or majority owned subsidiary or a Branch, that does not have its own separate annual report, but has their financial information consolidated into its Parent's report and accounts.

In these circumstances, the Parent’s consolidated report and accounts should be used, provided these are audited by a reputable auditor appropriate for the size and nature of the customer.

If the Business Unit has any concern in this regard, the matter should be referred to the Business Unit AML Officer for agreement or otherwise that the auditor is appropriate and the Parent’s financials may be relied upon.

Discussion Question

While obtaining financial information, as a source of CDD information for the customer, when should the Business Unit use the Parent’s consolidated report and accounts?

Topic 7: Customer Risk RatingOverviewAfter all of the necessary information has been obtained from the Business Unit, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) risk rates the customer prior to opening the customer’s account to assess the AML Risk of conducting business with this customer.

The AML CRR:

Drives decisions to initiate, maintain, limit, or terminate particular customer relationships.

Triggers approval requirements for KYC and exception processes.

Effectively monitor High-risk customers by resource devotion.

Determines the frequency of periodic reviews.

Allows for the application of different levels and aspects of surveillance, including transaction monitoring.

AML KYC CoE (KYC Shared Services) classifies its customers as High, Medium, or Low based on the AML CRR scoring methodology and documents this score in the customer’s KYC file.

Key Points The CDD process is designed to cover both new and existing customers.

In instances where an additional customer, controlling party or associated third party is added to a relationship after it is established, the Business Unit must document the additional KYC information when required, as part of the addition to the customer’s account relationship.

When a customer refuses to provide information this raises concerns in the context of the broader due diligence, these instances will be escalated to the Global Chief AML Officer via the Unusual Activity Report. The Global Chief AML Officer or delegate will determine whether the on-boarding should continue, based on the information the customer is refusing to provide and the overall due diligence results.

Discussion Question

What should be the acceptable course of action in instances where a customer refuses to provide

information requested per the process requirements?

Lesson 3: Summary Within CDD, there are certain tasks that need to be completed for all customers, no matter what

the Customer Type. We refer to this as Standard CDD.

The Business Unit will accept only those customers whose source of funds and source of wealth can be reasonably established to be legitimate. In the case of UBOs, it may be necessary to establish the ultimate source of funds for the account and whose source of wealth should be subject to due diligence.

Part of building the Customers anticipated account profile; the Business Unit must take adequate measures to establish the source of funds that are involved in the proposed relationship or occasional transaction.

In order to evaluate the source of a customer’s wealth, the Business Unit should gather information relevant to the manner in which the customer’s assets were obtained. This is the accumulation of the customer’s net worth which includes, in part, the funds held by State Street.

The third step in CDD is when the Business Unit conducts screening on the names and countries associated with customers, all UBOs, and any other related and specified controlling parties, and associated third parties prior to opening the customer’s account.

Negative news can be classified as relevant negative news and non-relevant negative news.

Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 311) grants the Secretary of the Treasury the authority, upon finding that reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a foreign jurisdiction, foreign FI, class of transaction, or type of account is of “primary money laundering concern,” to require domestic FIs and financial agencies (such as banks) to take certain “special measures” against the entity identified as a primary money laundering concern.

In order to meet its regulatory obligations State Street is required to identify customers, and nominal or UBOs, who are PEPs. PEPs may generally be viewed as High-risk customers.

Once all the customer information is gathered from the customer, the Business creates a Separate Annual Report and Consolidated Annual Report.

After all of the necessary information has been obtained from the Business Unit, KYC Share Services risk rates the customer prior to opening the customer’s account to assess the AML Risk of conducting business with this customer.

Generally, only negative information that reflects on the reputation of the customer for legal or regulatory compliance is relevant, e.g., criminal or regulatory enforcement actions, money laundering or Sanctions violations, or other illegal activity that was conducted by or facilitated by the customer. Negative financial news or information about litigation with customers or competitors also generally is not relevant.

The ability to fund the account or the entitlement to the funds of the account alone, however, without any corresponding authority to control, manage or direct the account (such as in the case of a minor child beneficiary), does not cause the individual to be a Beneficial Owner.

Risk Category Customer Risk Rating - Customer Risk Rating as used herein refers to the money laundering risk of the customer based upon State Street’s standard methodology.

Management Indicate whether a material match has been found for all Management personnel screened.

Lesson 5: Summary Within CDD, there are certain tasks that need to be completed for all customers, no matter what

the Customer Type, referred to as Standard CDD. Before the customer’s account opening process is complete, the Business Unit must collect

information to cover anticipated account activity, source of funds, and source of wealth. Part of building the Customers anticipated account profile; the Business Unit must take adequate

measures to establish the source of funds that are involved in the proposed relationship or occasional transaction.

In order to evaluate the source of a customer’s wealth, the Business Unit should gather information relevant to the manner in which the customer’s assets were obtained. This is the accumulation of the customer’s net worth which includes, in part, the funds held by State Street.

The third step in CDD is when the Business Unit conducts screening on the names and countries associated with customers, all UBOs, and any other related and specified controlling parties, and associated third parties prior to opening the customer’s account.

Negative news can be classified as relevant negative news and non-relevant negative news. Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 311) grants the Secretary of the Treasury the

authority, upon finding that reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a foreign jurisdiction, foreign FI, class of transaction, or type of account is of “primary money laundering concern,” to require domestic FIs and financial agencies (such as banks) to take certain “special measures” against the entity identified as a primary money laundering concern.

In order to meet its regulatory obligations State Street is required to identify customers, and nominal or UBOs, who are PEPs. PEPs may generally be viewed as High-risk customers.

For all relevant customers, the Business Unit seeks to obtain financial information, as a source of CDD information for the customer. It should be noted that obtaining these documents is mandatory for FIs.

After all of the necessary information has been obtained from the Business Unit, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) risk rates the customer prior to opening the customer’s account to assess the AML risk of conducting business with this customer and decide any risk mitigating strategies using CRRM.

The components of the KYC Platform Main Screen are Queues Tab, Dashboard Tab, Search Tab, Search Details Section, and Search Results Section.

Enhanced Due Diligence Customer Profile Form8. Risks and Mitigants9. Record Retention10. How to conduct PEP Identification11. How to conduct EDD

IntroductionEDD is a process that provides for a closer review of High-risk customers. EDD is required for High-risk State Street customers based on the AML Customer Risk Rating (CRR) and certain High-risk customer types notwithstanding the AML CRR.

EDD may be necessary when issues:

Arise in the course of conducting CDD (such as relevant negative news is identified). Are covered through account/transaction monitoring and require the AML CRR to be elevated to

High-risk.

Know Your Customer Participant Guide

Topic 1: Required and Triggered Enhanced Due DiligenceOverviewEDD is critical to identify a High-risk customer’s anticipated transactions.

A High-risk customer’s activities should be reviewed more closely at the time the account is opened and more frequently throughout the term of the relationship.

The following table provides details related to Required EDD and Triggered EDD.

Required EDD Triggered EDD

EDD is always required for customers rated High and for the following customers types, regardless of their AML CRR, including but not limited to:

Correspondent accounts for Foreign Financial Institutions (FIs) (as required by Section 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act)

Correspondent accounts for Foreign Banks (as required by Sections 313 and 319(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act)

Foreign private banking customers (as required by Section 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act)

Note: For additional guidance on required information, data, and/or documentation for customer types, refer to the AML KYC Requirements Matrix in the AML Toolkit.

Customer accounts not subject to EDD requirements at the time of account opening may later become subject to EDD requirements if:

The customer’s risk attributes and the AML CRR has changed, as a result of information updates during a periodic or event driven review of the relationship or other information that comes to the Business Unit’s or AML Compliance’s attention.

Material risk-related information, adverse or otherwise, concerning the customer is identified and elevates the AML CRR.

AML Compliance increases the AML CRR.

Discussion Question

EDD is always required for certain customer types notwithstanding their AML CRR. Provide two

examples of customer types for which EDD is mandatory.

Topic 3: General Enhanced Due Diligence Requirements OverviewTo better understand the risks posed by a customer who requires EDD, the Business Unit obtains additional information about the customer, UBOs, and any other related and specified controlling parties and associated third parties.

For UBOs, the First Line of Defense collects information on beneficial owners with ten percent (%) (for High-risk) or more ownership of the entity, based on State Street's policy requirements, through documentary means.

This includes:

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) uses the KYC Requirements Matrix to determine what information, data, and/or documentation is required by customer type and jurisdiction and provides to AML Compliance to so they can do the following:

Identify the risks posed by the customer. Prescribe any unique mitigants that may need to be implemented.

Topic 4: Source of WealthOverviewPart of CDD is to identify the Source of Wealth, and for high risk customers Source of Wealth needs to be verified. The customer’s source of wealth is a combination of data points collected through the KYC process. The information collected will differ depending on whether the wealth is acquired through:

Ownership of a business Employment or professional practice Inheritance Investments

Documentation that contains information can be used in conjunction with other data points to validate the customer’s source of wealth.

The following table provides details about the type of documents are used to identify the source of wealth for a customer.

Non-Individual Individual

Letter/contract note from previous investment company giving notification of proceeds of maturing investment/claim

Signed tax return from a certified accountant

Completed sales contract

Loan agreement

Recent loan statements

Letter from donor confirming details of a gift and acknowledging the source of the donated funds

Legal sale document(s) (such as contract notes)

Signed letter from the Attorney

Signed letter from a certified accountant

Last three months’ pay slips

Confirmation from the employer of income and bonuses for last two years

Bank statements that clearly show receipt of the most recent three months’ regular salary payments from the named employer

Latest accounts, if self-employed

Grant of Probate (with a copy of the will) that must include the value of the estate

Loan agreement

Attributes contributing to the accuracy and reasonableness of the customer’s source of wealth include:

From where the funds came

How the customer acquired the funds

From whom, if received by an individual or entity

When the funds were acquired

The location(s) from where the funds came

Source of wealth can be either Reasonable or Unreasonable.

The following table provides a Reasonable Example and an Unreasonable Example to help determine a customer’s source of wealth.

Reasonable Example Unreasonable Example

A Regulated Investment Advisor in the non-bank financial services industry (NAICS: 523930) recently had their initial public offering/stock market launch to investors to raise capital for an acquisition of a competitor for increased market share.

(This leads one to conclude that a financial institution has recently accepted a large amount of investments from investors to grow the company. This source of wealth is reasonable as one can expect that operations, fees, investments, and earnings all contribute to the source of wealth, whereas the immediate source of funds from the offering are directly attributable to investments from new shareholders).

Therefore, the following must be included:

Customer Type + Nature of Business + Source(s) of Wealth + Justification = Reasonable Assessment that the source of wealth is accurate

An unregulated Investment Manager located in Spain, whose profile had traditionally been investing in equities, is now heavily investing in Chilean mines, and wants to expand investments into the landscaping industry in Qatar. (This leads one to ask the question of why an investment manager is changing his investment profile from consistent investment in equities to investments in High-risk industries and countries without providing a reasonable explanation).

Topic 5: Site VisitsOverviewSite visits are an important part of the EDD process for MSBs, and other customer types, to confirm the veracity of the information provided by the customer.

The following table provides information about Site Visits, Trigger Events, Report Requirements, and Key Elements.

Task Description

Site Visits

The Business Unit AML Officer performs site visits at the customer’s primary place of business at the onset of the relationship and annually thereafter. Information collected during the course of a site visit is NOT limited to the following examples:

Establishing the physical location of the customer

Validating the existence of a Compliance Officer

Evaluating the AML training material

Assessing that operations are in line with the expectations for that customer type

Validating the presence of a current AML Program

Affirming that the personnel representing the customer are present

Trigger Events

A site visit may be trigged by events identified by the First Line of Defense and escalated to the Business Unit AML Officer, or directly by concerns raised through processes within AML Compliance.

Some examples of trigger events include:

Events that may indicate a heightened AML risk, such as regulatory action, relevant negative news, and additions to Sanctions lists.

Transaction monitoring findings and SAR filings.

Customers in High-risk jurisdictions, determining that the Parent does not have either financial control of the account or adequate oversight over the activity of the subsidiary in question.

The impact of such trigger events on site visitation requirements depends on the specifics of the trigger event and is determined by the Business Unit AML Officer in discussions with the Business Unit Chief Operating Officer and/or delegate and AML Compliance.

Note: Where a site visit is determined to be appropriate as a result of a SAR filing, care must be taken to avoid “tipping off” the customer.

Topic 6: PEP IdentificationOverviewState Street is not prohibited from establishing relationships with PEPs, or from establishing relationships with customers who have PEPs within their organizational structure, unless there is reliable information that the PEP is improperly profiting from his/her public office.

Customer accounts for all PEPs require the application of EDD. Reasonable steps must be exercised to identify customers who are PEPs prior to opening the customer’s account.

PEPs may be identified through the checks against local or regional lists, which are conducted at the time the customer’s account is opened.

PEP MatchesIn the event that a match occurs, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must review the match and eliminate any false potential name matches.

In the case of a possible or confirmed match, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must review the match and provide documentation and an explanation as to why the match is either a false positive or confirmed match, and keep the record on file.

Any potential matches must be escalated to the OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring, if there is any question about the customer’s PEP status.

If a PEP is identified in overnight or periodic batch screening, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) has 30 calendar days to conduct EDD using the KYC Requirements Matrix and obtain required approvals.

Reviews and verifies the required information, data, and/or documentation received and the Business Unit contacts the customer for any remaining information that is missing.

Verifies information, data, and/or documentation received is valid and performs EDD prior to informing AML Compliance using the Enhanced Due Diligence Customer Profile.

During the course of the relationship, the level and nature of risk associated with the PEP account may change.

AML Compliance, in conjunction with the First Line of Defense, is responsible for conducting ongoing High-risk customer reviews throughout the course of the relationship, if the customer is a PEP entity or the individual customer is a PEP.

PEP accounts along with High-risk accounts are re-assessed within six months of account opening and annually thereafter.

Topic 8: Risks and MitigantsOverviewFor customers requiring EDD, the First Line of Defense may open a customer’s account only after the:

Business Unit Chief Operating Officer, equivalent, and/or delegate approves the request. Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) where applicable, receives and acknowledges their

review of the risks and any unique mitigants in the FIU assessment from AML Compliance.

Unique mitigants are based on the situation and circumstances specific to each customer and may consist of one or more controls that are:

Established at onboarding Performed throughout the existence of a High-risk account, such as enhanced transaction

monitoring, which could dictate tighter algorithms or more frequent review cycles.

Important NoteOnly the Business Unit AML Officer can override the AML CRR for Medium and Low-risk customers and only the AML Compliance FIU can override the AML CRR of a High-risk customer.

The following are examples of potential mitigants that may be used for monitoring High-risk customers:

Enhanced transaction monitoring

Documenting existing relationships

Repute and/or verification of customer directors

Site visits

Ongoing screening of key principles, Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) outside of automated sanctions screening

Discussion Question

Identify the controls that may apply to unique mitigants.

Topic 10: How to Conduct PEP IdentificationOverviewThe following table lists the steps that the First Line of Defense performs during PEP identification and screening.

Step Action Owner

1. Enter the following information into WorldCheck and check the following information against local or regional lists in {insert list screening tool} for non-individual customers at the time of onboarding:

Full legal and any “trading as” name;

City and country of registered office address in country of incorporation; and

City and country of business address (if different from registered address).

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

2. Enter the following information into WorldCheck and check the following information against local or regional lists in {insert list screening tool} for individual customers at the time of onboarding:

Full legal name (last name, first name, and middle initial); and

City and country of residence.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

3. Enter the following information into WorldCheck and check the following information against local or regional lists in {insert list screening tool} for other related parties (if applicable) at the time of onboarding:

Information required to be identified in relation to third parties (such as Beneficial Owners, controlling parties, and associated third parties) each as defined in the Global AML Policy, must be screened at the time of account opening.

The following table lists the steps that the First Line of Defense performs during PEP identification and screening.

Step Action Owner

4. Compare the name of the customer or related party being screened to the name of the PEP identified in WorldCheck or local or regional lists in {insert list screening tool}. If no combination of the first and last names of the individual or

entity matches the PEP, this should be considered a “Negative Match” (as defined below) and there is no need to proceed to the next steps.

It is important to also compare the name of the individual or entity identified being screened to all alternate names, or “AKA” shown for identified PEPs.

In the case of businesses/organizations, perform this analysis for the business/organization name:

Compare the individual’s Date of Birth (“DOB”) with those shown for identified PEPs.

Compare the individual’s or entity’s identification data to that shown for the identified PEP.

If information is sufficient to clear the potential match cannot be obtained, the potential match should be forwarded to the respective Business Unit.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

5. If a potential match is received, determine which of the below four scenarios applies:

1. Two or more pieces of the individual’s or non-individual’s demographic data (including the name) match to that of the identified PEP. This should be considered a “Positive Match” and must be forwarded to OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring

2. There is no demographic data provided in the PEP list or database. Since there is insufficient information to resolve the potential match, it should be forwarded to OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring who will consult with the source issuing the PEP list or database.

3. The PEP list or database provides demographic data, but demographic data is missing from the individual or entity’s record. The Business Unit maintaining the account that generated the potential match must obtain the missing data to evaluate the match status.

4. There is enough data on both, the individual or entity being screened and the PEP list or database to determine that it is not a match. Specifically, nothing on either record, other than the name or portions of the name, matches. This should be considered a “False Positive Match” and documented accordingly.

Lesson 6: Summary A High-risk customer’s activities should be reviewed more closely at the time the account is

opened and more frequently throughout the term of the relationship.

After completing CDD and determining that the customer is High-risk or the customer type requires mandatory EDD, AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must perform EDD.

To better understand the risks posed by a customer who requires EDD, the Business Unit obtains additional information about the customer, UBOs, and any other related and specified controlling parties and associated third parties.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) uses the KYC Requirements Matrix to determine what information, data, and/or documentation is required by customer type and jurisdiction.

The information collected to determine a customer’s source of wealth will differ depending on whether the wealth is acquired through ownership of a business, employment or professional practice, inheritance, and investments.

Source of wealth can be either Reasonable or Unreasonable.

Site visits are an important part of the EDD process for MSBs, and other customer types, to confirm the veracity of the information provided by the customer.

PEPs may be identified through the checks against local or regional lists, which are conducted at the time the customer’s account is opened.

When it has been determined that a customer is or has a PEP associated with it, additional KYC must be performed on the PEP. The information, data and/or documentation required to complete the additional KYC is detailed in the KYC Requirements Matrix.

Unique mitigants are based on the situation and circumstances specific to each customer and may consist of one or more controls.

AML records must be maintained for a minimum of five years (from the end of the customer relationship in the case of identity records) or longer, if local regulation requires.

Topic 1: Periodic ReviewsOverviewIn accordance with State Street’s Global AML Policy, the Business Unit and the AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) will conduct risk-based periodic reviews on all customers in order to ensure KYC information is accurate and revise where appropriate the customer’s risk rating. Business Units will be notified of upcoming reviews 90 days prior to the due date of the review, according to the established timeline by risk level (below), by the Shared Service.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) will initiate and complete, in conjunction with AML Compliance and the Business Unit, periodic reviews of customer accounts in accordance with the below schedule:

Customer Type Frequency

High-risk Customer Every year; the first review should be scheduled after six months from the date in which the entity’s status in the KYC Platform reflects “complete.”

Medium-risk Customer

Every two years

Low-risk Customer Every three years

The timeline for conducting periodic reviews begins when a customer has been fully onboarded and approved.

Discussion Question

Do you think periodic reviews of medium risk customer should be done annually instead of every two

years? Will it help to identify more customers with financial irregularities?

Topic 4: Event Driven ReviewsOverviewThe event driven review process involves reviewing issues arising from customer and transaction monitoring and screening. These issues will be handled at the time they arise. An event driven review may be warranted before the next scheduled periodic review due to certain trigger events or changes related to the customer or related parties.

Where concerns are raised through these processes, these will be escalated to the Business Unit AML Officer who will determine the required course of action, which may result in closing the customer’s account, refreshing of the KYC file, or modifying the risk rating.

An event is any activity that could negatively impact the overall AML and/or Sanctions risks associated with the customer.

The Business Unit identifies an event through:

Manual monitoring

Information provided by the customer or from other sources

If an event is identified, the Business Unit conducts an event driven review depending on the type of event, and should notify AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) and AML Compliance.

An event driven review resets the scheduled periodic review.

Discussion Question

How does the Business Unit identify an event?

Topic 5: Examples of Trigger EventsOverviewSome examples of trigger events include:

The customer or related parties are added to Global or applicable Local Sanctions lists

The customer’s or related parties’ country information changes to a Sanctioned country

Payments to or from the customer are blocked or rejected for Sanctions reasons

Information is received that suggests the customer is attempting to circumvent Sanctions or is associated with Sanctioned parties

New customer relationships (i.e., change in ownership structure)

The customer undergoes a change to the legal structure/formation of the business (i.e., going public or changing from a non-profit to a for-profit business)

Suspicious account activities

The customer identifies additional controlling parties, associated third parties, or signers

If it is determined, as part of the review, that enough information has changed to warrant a change to the AML CRR, the change will be documented in the customer’s profile only after a risk rating has been generated using the most current customer information.

The following table describes the actions required for Low, Medium, and High-risk customers.

For customers who were Low or Medium-risk and have become High-risk

For customers who were High-risk and have

become Low or Medium-risk

For customers who were Low-risk and are now considered

Topic 6: Suspicious ActivityOverviewIt is the responsibility of all State Street employees to detect and prevent money laundering by escalating any activity or information that could possibly be associated with money laundering to management.

During the course of business, all State Street employees must be vigilant in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing by being alert and aware of unusual activities or “red flags” associated with potential suspicious activities.

It is State Street’s policy to identify, investigate, and report suspicious activities in a complete, accurate, and timely manner.

State Street employees must not knowingly or through willful blindness aid and abet individuals, who attempt to violate or circumvent money laundering laws or the State Street Global AML Policy, by providing:

Advice Facilitating customer transactions using personal accounts Conducting transactions that break or obscure the audit trail

Breaches of the State Street Global AML Policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, civil, and/or criminal penalties.

Suspicious Activity DefinedSuspicious activities are defined in several ways and can involve funds derived from illegal activities:

Intended or conducted to hide or disguise funds or assets derived from illegal activities.

Designed to evade AML regulatory requirements.

Suspicious activities can appear to serve no business or apparent lawful purpose, and the financial institution can determine no reasonable explanation for a transaction after examining all available facts. Suspicious activities can also involve use of a FI to facilitate criminal activities.

AML Compliance monitors suspicious activities or patterns that may be inconsistent with the anticipated or expected activities for a particular customer or account.

These activities may include:

Incoming/outgoing wires Journals of funds and securities Deposits, withdrawals, and/or asset movements

Red FlagsIdentifying red flags is an integral part of the AML and Sanctions Compliance Programs. State Street employees’ understanding of, and ability to recognize, red flags is vital to ensure timely and adequate identification and escalation of unusual or suspicious activities.

The following table lists the steps that the First line of defense performs for identifying Red Flags.

Step

Action Owner

1. Identify relevant patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that are “red flags” signaling possible unusual or suspicious activities as defined in the AML and Sanctions Compliance Programs

Business Unit

2. If a red flag, or series of red flags, is detected, document it using the Unusual Activity Form (UAF). The UAF should include:

Description of what has happened; Documentation of when it happened (list the specific

transactions/activities, dates and supporting documentation); and Description of why the transaction/activity is unusual.

Business Unit

3. Submit the UAF to AML Compliance FIU, the Business Unit AML Officer/MLRO and/or Business Unit Manager or equivalent in line with local requirements via email and confirm receipt.

Business Unit and Business Unit AML Officer

4. Any inquiries from AML Compliance FIU or Business Unit AML Officer following the UAF must be promptly responded to via email and receipt must be confirmed.

AML Compliance FIU and Business Unit AML Officer

5. Ensure AML Compliance FIU communication takes place, to enable AML Compliance to periodically update the AML and Sanctions Compliance Programs to reflect possible changes/additions in red flags.

Business Unit, Business Unit AML Officer and AML Compliance FIU

Important Notes Identifying one or more red flags in customer or transaction activity does not in and of itself

indicate suspicious activity (money laundering and/or terrorist financing). However, additional care needs to be taken, including notifying your immediate supervisor or your Business Unit AML Officer.

If not explained through further review, red flags must always be researched and investigated. It is the responsibility of all State Street employees to be alert to unusual activity and report the same.

Topic 7: Transaction MonitoringOverviewAML Compliance FIU monitors account activity for unusual size, volume, pattern, or type of transactions, taking into account risk factors and red flags that are appropriate to each Business Unit.

Monitoring can be conducted through Automated Monitoring or Manual Monitoring.

Automated Monitoring Manual Monitoring

The AML Compliance Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) uses a Windows® based desktop application to monitor customer account activity for the purpose of determining whether abnormal transaction patterns are present. This application filters, compiles, summarizes transaction data, and identifies instances of potentially suspicious behavior.

The Business Unit identifies suspicious behaviors by conducting manual monitoring of customer and account related activity.

Automated MonitoringThe AML Compliance FIU uses ASSIST//CK®, a Windows® based desktop application, to monitor customer account activity for the purpose of determining whether abnormal transaction patterns are present.

Whenever abnormal patterns are identified, the AML Compliance FIU will contact the Business Unit who:

Receives an information request from the AML Compliance FIU by email; and

Ensures a timely and accurate follow up of this information request, as detailed in the request itself.

ASSIST//CK® generates exception reports based on the degree to which actual activity exceeds pre-defined transaction profiles. On a monthly basis, account exceptions are referred by the AML Compliance FIU to the Business Unit representative responsible for the reported account. The exception report is also sent to the Business Unit AML Officer.

When the Business Unit representative receives an exception report from the AML Compliance FIU, the Business Unit must complete the following:

Step

Action Owner

1. Review the customer’s KYC file in the KYC Platform, particularly the expected activity.

Business Unit

2. Review the customer transaction history in {insert account transaction system}.

Business Unit

3. Determine whether activity identified in the exception report is outside the normal, expected activity for the account.

Business Unit

4. Inform the AML Compliance FIU of potentially suspicious/unusual activity. Business Unit

5. Investigate the case to determine if a suspicious activity report is required AML

7. Respond to the AML Compliance FIU within ten (10) calendar days. Business Unit

Manual MonitoringThere are instances where the Business Unit will identify suspicious behaviors by conducting manual monitoring of customers and customer’s accounts related to activity.

The Business Unit must adhere to procedures for monitoring customer accounts. This can also include identifying potentially suspicious customer behavior highlighted in red flags.

The following table lists the steps that the Business Unit performs for identifying suspicious behaviors by conducting manual monitoring.

Step

Action Owner

1. Assess whether customer activity or behavior triggers a red flag based on unusual or suspicious behavior identified.

Business Unit

2. Review the customer’s KYC file in the KYC Platform, particularly the expected customer activity.

Business Unit

3. Review the customer transaction history in {insert account transaction system}.

Business Unit

4. Determine whether the activity is outside the normal, expected activity for the account.

Business Unit

5. Document manual monitoring results in the UAF, including:

Describing what has happened (details of reason to start monitoring activities).

Documenting when it happened (list the specific transactions and supporting documentation).

Listing arguments whether or not this activity is suspicious.

Business Unit

6. Submit UAF to the AML Compliance FIU, Business Unit AML Officer, and/or Business Unit Manager so that a case may be opened and investigated.

Business Unit

Important NoteState Street may receive inquiries and requests from law enforcement or regulatory agencies to maintain and monitor a customer’s account(s).The Business Unit must enhance these procedures, where necessary, to comply with requirements of the regulatory and law enforcement bodies in their jurisdiction, and to notify the AML Compliance Regional Head of all such requests.

Topic 8: Employee Identification and Escalation of Suspicious Customer BehaviorOverviewIf a State Street employee identifies an activity he/she knows or has reason to believe is unlawful, otherwise potentially suspicious, or abnormal customer activity, within one business day, the employee must:

Step

Action Owner

1. Notify the AML Compliance FIU, Business Unit AML Officer/MLRO and/or Business Unit Manager.

Business Unit

2. Notification must be in writing, utilizing the UAF. The UAF should include:

Description of what has happened. Documentation of when it happened (list the specific

transactions/activities, dates and supporting documentation). Description of why the transaction/activity is unusual.

3. Submit the UAF to AML Compliance FIU, and/or MLRO (where available) via email and confirm receipt.

Business Unit and Business Unit AML Officer

4. Any inquiries from AML Compliance FIU or Business Unit AML Officer following the UAF must be promptly responded to via email and receipt must be confirmed.

AML Compliance FIU and Business Unit AML Officer

5. Upon receiving a UAF, AML Compliance FIU or equivalent will review the document and decide if the suspicious activity documentation requires additional information and/or warrants filing a report with the appropriate authorities in the form of a Suspicious Transaction Report or Suspicious Activity Report (STR/SAR) (or jurisdictional equivalent). When a STR/SAR is warranted, the AML Compliance FIU will follow the local governance structure for reporting purposes by informing the local MLRO or the SAR Review Committee (in the U.S.).

Business Unit, Business Unit AML Officer and AML Compliance FIU

Important Notes Employees should not attempt to perform their own review or investigation before referring

potentially suspicious activity. At the same time, employees should maintain a file which provides the identity of the individual or entity in question, the type of activity, and why it is considered unusual or questionable.

After submitting the UAF, the employee may be contacted by the Business Unit AML Officer or the AML Compliance FIU during the course of an investigation.

Throughout the investigation, STRs/SARs are strictly confidential, and a State Street employee’s disclosure regarding the consideration of a STR/SAR filing is strictly prohibited. Under no circumstances may any employee inform any person known to be or suspected of being involved

in the illegal or suspicious activity that the activities are believed to be suspicious or are being reported internally or to government authorities.

Impact on Customer RelationshipWhen suspicious activity has been identified, the Business Unit must:

Determine whether it will terminate the customer relationship (in some cases this may be done in consultation with law enforcement).

If suspicious activity continues, State Street may be required by law to report suspicious activity periodically via a STR/SAR.

If law enforcement requests that State Street continue the relationship while investigating the matter:

State Street must receive a letter from the investigating agency stating the purpose of the request; and

The non-U.S. Business Unit AML Officer must confirm that honoring the request is in accordance with local AML laws and regulations and obtain guidance from Legal Counsel.

If State Street files a STR/SAR on a customer, several courses of action may be taken that may require additional action by the Business Unit. These include:

Accelerating periodic or event-driven reviews

Limiting account activity of customers who have been investigated

Increasing monitoring on further account activity

Suspending payments

Closing an account(s)/terminating the customer relationship

The appropriate State Street employees (General Counsel, AML Compliance and Business Unit management, and in certain cases, in consultation with law enforcement) must determine if the customer relationship is to be terminated as a result of the identified suspicious activity.

Topic 9: Sanctions ScreeningOverviewOngoing Sanctions screening is automated and performed by OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring, and is mainly focused on existing customer screening and third party screening.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must screen the customer, both Non-Individuals and Individuals, for potential matches with Sanctioned countries at the time of onboarding.

Names and locations of the following must be screened:

Customer and other related party names, such as collective investment vehicle name, pension fund name, name of corporation for corporate cash

Beneficial Owners/Shareholders/Underlying Customers

The following table lists the steps that AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) performs to screen the customer.

Step

Action Owner

1. Check the names and locations of the following against the applicable Sanctions lists, as noted in Section 4.5.5, Screening, using Prime and WorldCheck:

Customer and other related party names and country (i.e., collective investment vehicle name, pension fund name, name of corporation for corporate cash).

Beneficial Owners/Material Shareholders names and country.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

2. Check the names of the following against the applicable Sanctions lists using Prime and WorldCheck:

Controlling parties and associated third parties.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

3. Enter the following information into Prime for individual customers:

Full legal name (last name, first name, and middle initial); and

City and country of residence.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

4. Enter the following information into Prime for other related parties (if applicable):

Refer to the KYC Requirements Matrix for the related parties’ information to be captured and Appendix G.

Information required to be identified in relation to third parties (such as Beneficial Owners) each as defined in the Global AML Policy, must be screened at the time of account opening.

The following table lists the steps that AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) performs to screen the customer.

Step

Action Owner

6. Compare the name of the customer or related party being screened to the name of the sanctioned party. If no combination of the first and last names of the individual or entity matches those of the sanctioned party, this should be considered a Negative Match (as defined below) and there is no need to proceed to the next steps.

It is important to also compare the name of the individual or entity identified being screened to all alternate names, or “AKA” shown for the sanctioned party.

In the case of businesses/organizations, perform this analysis for the business/organization name.

Compare the individual’s DOB (Date of Birth) and POB (Place of Birth if applicable/available) with those shown for the sanctioned party.

Compare the individual’s or entity’s identification data to that shown for the sanctioned party.

If information sufficient to clear the potential match cannot be obtained, the potential match should be forwarded to the respective Business Unit.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

7. If there is a potential match, determine which of the below four scenarios applies:

1. Two or more pieces of the individual’s or non-individual demographic data (including the name or jurisdiction) match to that of the sanctioned party or OFAC sanctioned country. This should be considered a “Confirmed Match” and must be forwarded to OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring.

2. There is no demographic data provided in the Sanctions List since there is insufficient information to resolve the potential match, it should be forwarded to the non-U.S. Business Unit AML Officer who will consult with the relevant governmental body that issues the Sanctions List directly.

3. The Sanctions List provides demographic data, but demographic data is missing from the individual or entity’s record. The Business Unit maintaining the account that generated the potential match must obtain the missing data to evaluate the match status.

4. There is enough data on both, the individual or entity being screened and the Sanctions List to determine that it is not a match. Specifically, nothing on either record, other than the name or portions of the name, matches. This should be considered a “Negative Match” and documented accordingly.

Confirmed match between customer’s jurisdiction and prohibited country according to OFAC or jurisdictional equivalent. Escalate to OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring immediately.

MatchesThe following table provides details about a Confirmed Match and False Positive Match.

Confirmed Match False Positive Match

A confirmed match is a Non-Individual or an Individual whose exact name, plus at least one other item of personal data, specifically the date of birth, identification number, or physical address and country (Individual)/physical and legal address (entity) match to an entry in the Sanctions lists.

Example:A transaction is processed in the name of Kindhearts. As identification located in the SWIFT message, Kindhearts included a corporate address, 125 East Main Street, Toledo OH in the details field. A match is identified to an OFAC SDN, named Kindhearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development with the same address. Since the name and address match exactly to the information in the OFAC SDN list, this is an example of a confirmed match.

A false positive match is a Non-Individual or an Individual whose name matches an entry in one of the Sanctions lists, but the accompanying personal data does not match.

Example:In a periodic update to the SDN list, OFAC adds a name with the following description:

“ABBAS, Adbul Hussein, Italy (individual) [IRAN]”

In a review of our previously cleared transactions, we identify a potential name match for a customer Issac Hussein. Issac Hussein receives monthly payments. The filter matched the last name of the individual or entity identified in the payment message with the last name of the designated individual in the Sanctions list. This instance would be considered a false positive match because the name of the individual or organization identified in the payment message and designee in the Sanctions list do not match.

Sanctions ClearingPotential matches are to be addressed with immediacy regardless of whether related to a customer or customer’s customer. Potential matches should be cleared within one (1) business day, from the day they were generated in the Sanctions screening system.

In case of a potential match at a minimum, the following activities need to be performed by AML KYC CoE (Shared Services):

Step

Action Owner

1. Assess the quality of the potential match by evaluating how much of the list’s name is matching against the transaction’s and the other identifying information provided such as date of birth, passport number, address, etc.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

2. If the potential match is deemed to be a false positive, the explanation is recorded in Prime and the KYC Platform. If any research material or information was used to clear a hit, then this is saved electronically in Prime and the KYC Platform.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services)

3. If the potential match is deemed to be a confirmed match with an individual or entity on a Sanctions List, the AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must immediately notify OFAC/Sanctions Central Monitoring by opening a case in Prime.

AML KYC CoE (Shared Services) must always save research material and information used to assess the potential match in the customer information management system and customer’s KYC file. Documentation supporting the match assessment, including arguments and conclusions, needs to be filed. Additionally all confirmed matches escalated, including documentation, need to be documented by AML KYC CoE (Shared Services).

All State Street employees must use uniform documentation when notating any cleared or confirmed Sanctions match. The following annotation standards have been outlined:

Match of False Positive Annotations Examples

Confirmed MatchThe individual or entity identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening matched that of theSanctions Lists.

The individual or entity, XXX, identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening, matched that of the Listed individual or entity, XXX.

False Positive

The individual or entity identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening matched that on the Sanctions List, which was determined to be a false positive based upon address/location not matching the Sanctions list.

The individual, Tony Blair, located in Livingston, Zambia, identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening as a potential match, was determined to be a false positive based upon location/address not matching the Sanctions List individual, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, London, England.

False Positive

The individual or entity identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening matched that on Sanctions Lists, where the potential match was determined to be a false positive based upon name and nationality/address not matching the Sanctions List.

The individual, Tony Frederick Blair, of Livingston, Zambia, identified in the new or ongoing Sanctions screening had a potential match, but was determined to be a false positive based upon name not matching the Sanctions List individual, Anthony Charles Lynton Blair of the United Kingdom.

Topic 10: Sanctions LicensesOverviewA license is an authorization from governmental authorities (such as OFAC) to engage in a transaction that otherwise would be prohibited. There are two types of licenses:

1. General Licenses: Authorizes a particular type of transaction for a class of persons without the need to apply for a license.

2. Specific Licenses: A written document issued by the governmental authority to a particular person or entity, authorizing a particular transaction in response to a written license application.

General LicensesIf a customer states that a transaction is covered by a general license, the Business Unit is required to consult with AML Compliance and receive confirmation of the license prior to trade settlement or rendering services. AML Compliance will coordinate with Corporate Legal and Legal counsel to determine if the general license applies to State Street and if the transaction is permissible.

Specific LicensesIf a specific license is granted to a customer, the Business Unit must adopt additional procedures to ensure that the terms of the license are met on an ongoing basis. These procedures must include:

Step Action

1. Uploading a copy of the license to the KYC Platform.

2. Including the license number on all transactions.

3. Ongoing monitoring of compliance with the parameters of the license.

4. Monitoring the license expiration, as applicable.

In cases where the customer provides a specific license to a Business Unit, the Business Unit must email the following information to AML Compliance and the Business Unit Sanctions Compliance Officer:

1. Customer name

2. Account number(s)

3. License number

4. Copy of the license

5. Copy of the transaction request

AML Compliance must check the validity of that license with the issuing authority, before completing the transaction.

Important NoteIf a customer wants to engage in a transaction prohibited by Sanctions regulations, the Business Unit Sanctions Compliance Officer must notify AML Compliance. AML Compliance can provide the Business Unit with information on how the customer can request a specific license with the regulator.

The Business Unit must not settle trades or render services until the license is granted by the regulator. If a license is granted, the Business Unit is responsible for adopting and developing
