In the context of the LIBOR-to-SOFR transition, why is 'compounding in arrears' necessary for floating-rate notes referencing SOFR?

  1. SOFR embeds a significant bank credit risk premium
  2. Compounding in arrears prevents the issuer from calling the bond
  3. SOFR is an overnight rate with no inherent term structure
  4. It allows the coupon to be known at the start of the period
