A CIDI may incorporate information or analysis into the confidential section of its full resolution submission or its interim supplement from one or more of the following without seeking the authorization for disclosure of FDIC confidential information required under 12 CFR part 309:
(ii) Requirements for incorporation from other sources. A CIDI may incorporate information from other sources only if:
(1) Identified strategy.
(ii) A CIDI must utilize as its identified strategy the formation and stabilization of a bridge depository institution that continues operation through the completion of the resolution and exit from the bridge depository institution unless the CIDI determines and demonstrates in its resolution plan why another strategy:
(2) Failure scenario. For the identified strategy, the CIDI must use a failure scenario that demonstrates that the CIDI is experiencing material financial distress, such that the quality of the CIDI's asset base has deteriorated and high-quality liquid assets have been depleted or pledged in the stress period before failure due to high, unexpected outflows of deposits and increased liquidity requirements from counterparties that would impact the CIDI's ability to pay its obligations in the normal course of business before the FDIC's appointment as receiver.

The CIDI may not assume any regulatory waivers in connection with the actions proposed to be taken before or in resolution. To the extent that the CIDI assumes that DIF funding is used during the resolution by a bridge depository institution, it must demonstrate the capacity for such borrowing on a fully secured basis and the source of repayment.

Describe the CIDI's approach for continuing critical services in the event of the CIDI's failure. Identify contracts for critical services that contain provisions that, upon the insolvency of the CIDI or the FDIC being appointed receiver of the CIDI, purport to permit the service provider to stop providing services, to alter pricing, or to alter other terms of service. Discuss potential obstacles to maintaining critical services that could occur in the event of the CIDI's failure and steps that could be taken to remediate or otherwise mitigate the risk of interruption, to include those critical services and critical services support provided by the parent company or a parent company affiliate and addressing:

Information in the virtual data room must support the ability of the FDIC to market and execute a timely sale or disposition of the IDI franchise or the CIDI's franchise components, be appropriate for a buyer to conduct due diligence for a timely sale or disposition of the IDI franchise or the CIDI's franchise components, and be sufficient to permit a bidder to provide a competitive bid on the IDI franchise or the CIDI's franchise components. A full resolution submission must also describe expected access protocols and requirements for the FDIC to use the virtual data room in order to carry out the sale of the IDI franchise or the CIDI's franchise components, including the FDIC's ability to facilitate bidder due diligence, and describe how information populated within the virtual data room could be transferred to a virtual data room hosted by the FDIC. The full resolution submission should identify the time required to capture all elements of information in the virtual data room, indicating number of days it would take to populate each category of information described below, and the process for each, including any potential obstacles or impediments in producing accurate, timely, and complete information in a useful format. The content of the virtual data room must include the following elements, or those that are applicable in the case of a sale of a franchise component:
