When CB is holding the pen on the credit memo for Acquisition Financing for example, team may be informed of an opportunity on a, let's say, a Thursday and needs to revert with an approval from committee to the client early next week. Team will then have to work on the week-end to be in front of the credit committee on Tuesday midday and then inform the client that they are approved.
This normally happens less than 5 times / year.
