For any weekday that is not a UK bank holiday (“UK banking day”), SONIA is computed as the transaction-volume-weighted interquartile average of interest rates paid on eligible sterling denominated deposit transactions. |
| Termination of Trading | Trading terminates at 9:00 am London time on the 3rd Wednesday of the last month in the quarter, (or on the next London business day, if the 3rd Wednesday is a London banking holiday). |
