CitiFirst Offerings Brochure | August 2018 3 Introduction to CitiFirst Investments CitiFirst is the brand name for Citi’s offering of investments including notes and deposits. Tailored to meet the needs of a range of investors, CitiFirst investments are divided into three categories based on the amount of principal due at maturity: CitiFirst Protection CitiFirst Performance CitiFirst Opportunity Full principal amount due Payment due at maturity may be less Payment due at maturity at maturity than the principal amount may be zero Investments provide for the full principal Investments provide for a payment due Investments provide for a payment at amount to be due at maturity, subject at maturity, subject to the credit risk maturity, subject to the credit risk of to the credit risk of the issuer, and are of the issuer, that may be less than the the issuer, that may be zero and are for investors who place a priority on the principal amount and in some cases may for investors who are willing to take preservation of principal while looking for be zero, and are for investors who are full market risk in return for either a way to potentially outperform cash or seeking the potential for current income leveraged principal appreciation at traditional fixed income investments and/or growth, in addition to partial or a predetermined rate or access to a contingent downside protection unique underlying strategy The structured investments discussed herein are not suitable for all investors. Prospective investors should evaluate their financial objectives and tolerance for risk prior to investing in any structured investment. The SEC registered securities described herein are not bank deposits but are senior, unsecured debt obligations of Citi. All returns and any principal amount due at maturity are subject to the applicable issuer credit risk, with the exception of the Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit which have FDIC insurance, subject to applicable limitations. Structured investments are not conventional debt securities. They are complex in nature and the specific terms and conditions will vary for each offering. CitiFirst operates across all asset classes meaning that underlying assets include equities, commodities, currencies, interest rates and alternative investments. When depicting a specific product, the relevant underlying asset will be shown as a symbol on the cube: Equities Commodities Currencies Rates Alternative Investments For instance, if a CitiFirst Performance investment were based upon a single stock, which belongs to an equity asset class, its symbol would be shown as follows: Classification of investments into categories is not intended to guarantee particular results or performance. Though the potential returns on structured investments are based upon the performance of the relevant underlying asset or index, investing in a structured investment is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying asset or index.

34 CitiFirst Offerings Brochure | August 2018 Overview of Key Benefits and Risks of CitiFirst Investments Benefits â–Investors can access investments linked to a variety of underlying assets or indices, such as domestic and foreign indices, exchange-traded funds, commodities, foreign-exchange, interest rates, equities, or a combination thereof. â–Structured investments can offer unique risk/return profiles to match investment objectives, such as the amount of principal due at maturity, periodic income, and enhanced returns. Risks â– The risks below are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks associated with a particular CitiFirst Structured Investment offering. Before you invest in any CitiFirst Structured Investment you should thoroughly review the particular investment’s offering document(s) and related material(s) for a comprehensive description of the risks and considerations associated with the particular investment. â–Potential for Loss â– The terms of certain investments provide that the full principal amount is due at maturity, subject to the applicable issuer’s credit risk. However, if an investor sells or redeems such investment prior to maturity, the investor may receive an amount less than his/her original investment. â– The terms of certain investments provide that the payment due at maturity could be significantly less than the full principal amount and, for certain investments, could be zero. In these cases, an investor may receive an amount significantly less than his/her original investment and may receive nothing at maturity of the investment. â– Appreciation May Be Limited – Depending on the investment, an investor’s appreciation may be limited by a maximum amount payable or by the extent to which the return reflects the performance of the underlying asset or index. â– Issuer Credit Risk – All payments on CitiFirst Structured Investments are dependent on the applicable issuer’s or guarantor’s ability to pay all amounts due on these investments, including any principal due at maturity and therefore investors are subject to the credit risk of the applicable issuer. â– Secondary Market – There may be little or no secondary market for a particular investment. If the applicable offering document(s) so specifies, the issuer may apply to list an investment on a securities exchange, but it is not possible to predict whether any investment will meet the listing requirements of that particular exchange, or if listed, whether any secondary market will exist. â–Resale Value of a CitiFirst Structured Investment May be Lower than Your Initial Investment – Due to, among other things, the changes in the price of and dividend yield on the underlying asset, interest rates, the earnings performance of the issuer of the underlying asset, the applicable issuer of the CitiFirst Structured Investment’s perceived creditworthiness, the investment may trade, if at all, at prices below its initial issue price and an investor could receive substantially less than the amount of his/ her original investment upon any resale of the investment. â– Volatility of the Underlying Asset or Index – Depending on the investment, the amount you receive at maturity could depend on the price or value of the underlying asset or index during the term of the trade as well as where the price or value of the underlying asset or index is at maturity; thus, the volatility of the underlying asset or index, which is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations in the price or value of the underlying asset or index, may result in an investor receiving an amount less than he/she would otherwise receive. â– Potential for Lower Comparable Yield – The effective yield on any investment may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of the same issuer with comparable maturity. â– Affiliate Research Reports and Commentary – Affiliates of the particular issuer may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions or provide recommendations from time to time regarding the underlying asset or index which may influence the price or value of the underlying asset or index and, therefore, the value of the investment. Further, any research, opinion or recommendation expressed within such research reports may not be consistent with purchasing, holding or selling the investment. â–The United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Structured Investments are Uncertain – No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of structured investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The tax treatment of a structured investment may be very different than that of its underlying asset. As a result, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences and treatment of an investment are not certain. The offering document(s) for each structured investment contains tax conclusions and discussions about the expected U.S. federal income tax consequences and treatment of the related structured investment. However, no ruling is being requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any structured investment and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the tax conclusions and treatment expressed within the offering document(s) of a particular structured investment. Citigroup Inc., its affiliates, and employees do not provide tax or legal advice. Investors should consult with their own professional advisor(s) on such matters before investing in any structured investment. â– Fees and Conflicts – The issuer of a structured investment and its affiliates may play a variety of roles in connection with the investment, including acting as calculation agent and hedging the issuer’s obligations under the investment. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the affiliates of the issuer may be adverse to the interest of the investor.

Therefore, all of the information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information provided in the offering documents(s) and related material for the respective structured investment. The structured investments discussed within this brochure are not suitable for all investors. Prospective investors should evaluate their financial objectives and tolerance for risk prior to investing in any structured investment. Tax Disclosure Citigroup Inc., its affiliates and employees do not provide tax or legal advice. To the extent that this brochure or any offering document(s) concerns tax matters, it is not intended to be used and cannot be used by a taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed by law. Any such taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. ERISA and IRA Purchase Considerations Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, governmental or other plans subject to laws substantially similar to ERISA, retirement accounts (including Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE plans, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities) and entities the assets of which are deemed to constitute the assets of such plans (each an “Employee Benefit Plan”) are permitted to purchase structured investments as long as (A) no Citi affiliate or employee is a fiduciary to such Employee Benefit Plan that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the structured investments or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (B) the Employee Benefit Plan’s acquisition and holding of the structured investment is not prohibited by any such provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as Employee Benefit Plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the structured investments if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citi or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of structured investments by the Employee Benefit Plan. In June 2017, new DOL regulations became applicable that revised the definition of fiduciary investment advice under ERISA. Information contained in this brochure or the applicable offering document(s) is not intended to be fiduciary investment advice. The fiduciary of the Employee Benefit Plan making the decision on behalf of the Employee Benefit Plan to purchase the structured investments (the “Plan Fiduciary”) will be deemed to represent and acknowledge that (a) the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition and continued holding by the Employee Benefit Plan of the structured investment; (b) the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Benefit Plan Investor within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Employee Benefit Plan’s acquisition, and continued holding, of the structured investments; (c) the Plan Fiduciary acknowledges that no fee or other compensation that may be paid to Citi or its affiliated entities is for the provision of investment advice regarding the decision of whether to invest or retain an investment in structured investments; (d) Citi and its affiliates have a financial interest in the Employee Benefit Plan’s investment in the structured investments, as disclosed in the applicable offering document(s); and (e) none of Citi or its affiliates is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give investment advice in a fiduciary capacity, and has not given and will not give investment advice or otherwise made or will make a recommendation, in connection with the Employee Benefit Plan’s initial or continued investment in the structured investments. You should refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in the applicable offering document(s) for more information.
