(a) For Card Member receivables in GCS, delinquency data is tracked based on days past billing status rather than days past due. A Card Member
account is considered 90 days past billing if payment has not been received within 90 days of the Card Member’s billing statement date. In
addition, if the Company initiates collection procedures on an account prior to the account becoming 90 days past billing, the associated Card
Member receivable balance is classified as 90 days past billing. These amounts are shown above as 90+ Days Past Due for presentation
purposes.
(b) Delinquency data for periods other than 90 days past billing is not available due to system constraints. Therefore, such data has not been
utilized for risk management purposes. The balances that are current to 89 days past due can be derived as the difference between the Total
and the 90+ Days Past Due balances.
