Important Notes: (1) The new intermediate points and LLPs described above will come into effect on 1 January 2022.(2) Due to the IBOR transitions and subject to market developments of the new OIS swaps, the intermediate points, the Last Liquid Point (LLP) and the type of instrument for the GBP, CHF and the JPY will be subject to additional changes in 2021Q4. Subject to maket developments, similar changes may occur also for the USD." Do we get it right, that the first month end date with new data (including intermediate points, the Last Liquid Point (LLP) and the type of instrument for the GBP, CHF and the JP) due to IBOR transition will be the end of january 2022 (and not the end of december 2021)? And the "additional changes in 2021Q4" are not knowed respectively released yet?
