      What are the replacement rates for LIBOR?

      Although options for replacing LIBOR continue to evolve, Old National has currently identified the following potential replacement options for our clients:

      1. Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)
      2. Term SOFR

      The Secured Overnight Financing Rate or SOFR is the replacement benchmark recommended by the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (ARRC). (See references below for more information on the work of the ARRC.) SOFR is derived from transactions that are executed in the overnight repurchase agreement (repo) market. These transactions are executed between banks and other intermediaries and are often collateralized by US Treasury securities. The market for SOFR is very deep and liquid with nearly $1 trillion in underlying transactions executed daily. 

      While SOFR has been identified as the replacement index for LIBOR, there are multiple calculation methodologies which have been developed given that SOFR is a daily rate. The CME Term SOFR Reference Rates benchmark is a daily set of forward-looking interest rate estimates based on the SOFR futures contracts. CME Term SOFR Reference Rates are calculated and published for 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenors. Like LIBOR, CME Term SOFR Reference Rates are forward-looking, and the rate is set at the beginning of the period and interest is paid in arrears.
