## Exchange Rate Calculations - Withdrawals

The lender issues a withdrawal request by indicating an amount of vault tokens to be redeemed. This will provide an indicative withdrawal amount

```javascript
Vault Tokens to be Redeemed * Exchange Rate  = Indicative Withdrawal Amount
```

The amount of vault tokens specifies the portion of the collateral to be liquidated.

```javascript
Vault Tokens to be Redeemed / Total Outstanding Vault Tokens  = % Collateral to be Liquidated
```

The Investment Advisor will liquidate the portion of the collateral corresponding to the withdrawal request and confirm the net sale proceeds. The final withdrawal repayment will equal the net sale proceeds of the sale of your collateral.&#x20;

```javascript
Early Withdrawal Amount = Net Sale Proceeds of Liquidated Collateral
```

### Example of Withdrawal Calculations

**Collateral:**

* 1,000,000.00 SHYG Shares @ $90.00 pps
* $1,000,000 cash

**Closing Price T-1:** $90.00

**Total Vault Tokens Outstanding:** 10,000,000

`[ (1,000,000.00 SHYG Shares x $90.00 pps) + $1,000,000.00 ] – ($1801.80)  / 10,000,0000 ]`

**Exchange Rate:** 9.0998198200

Client A wants to redeem 1,000,000.00 tokens on T0.

The indicative withdrawal amount is:

`1,000,000.00 x 9.0998198200 = 9,099,819.82 USDC`

Percentage of the collateral to be liquidated is:

`1,000,000.00 / 10,000,000.00 = 10%`

The net sale proceeds of 10% of the collateral is:

`$9,098,999.61`

The withdrawal amount repaid to the Lender is:

`9,098,999.61 USDC`
