ICE Benchmark Administration Publishes the Results of the Survey on the Use of LIBOR

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading operator of global
exchanges and clearing houses and provider of data and listings
services, today announced that ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(IBA) has published the results of its survey on the use of LIBOR
currencies and tenors.

IBA launched the survey on the use of LIBOR on December
4, 2018 in order to identify the LIBOR settings that are most widely
used. The survey closed on February 15, 2019, and the results have been
published on IBA’s
website.

Using the results of this survey and other outreach work, IBA will work
with globally active banks to seek to publish certain LIBOR settings
after year-end 2021. IBA expects to issue further press releases
regarding this work as it progresses.

The primary goal of IBA’s work in seeking to obtain sufficient banking
industry support to publish certain LIBOR settings after year-end 2021
is to provide these settings to users with outstanding LIBOR-linked
contracts that are impossible or impractical to modify. Any such
settings will need to be compliant with relevant regulations and in
particular those regarding representativeness.

IBA’s work is also designed to facilitate the industry’s progress
towards an orderly adoption of alternative ‘risk-free’ reference rates
into the financial system, as called for by the Financial Conduct
Authority and the central banks.

Notwithstanding the results of the survey and IBA’s work, there is no
guarantee that any LIBOR settings will continue to be published after
year-end 2021. Users of LIBOR should not rely on the continued
publication of any LIBOR settings when developing transition or fall
back plans.
