Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator
that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3) a public statement or
publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are
not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.
