THE CITIGROUP GLOBAL ANTI-BRIBERY & CORRUPTION (AB&C) COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

Citigroup Inc. (“Citi”) is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical standards
and in full compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations, including the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and the applicable local anti-bribery and corruption laws of
the countries in which Citi operates.

One of Citi’s core principles is its commitment to responsible finance – conduct that is transparent, prudent,
and dependable. Citi’s AB&C Program embodies this principle.

Citi has in place written policies, procedures, and internal controls reasonably designed to comply with anti-
bribery laws (the “Anti-Bribery & Corruption Compliance Program”). The Anti-Bribery & Corruption
Compliance Program includes: oversight and governance; a risk assessment process; communication and
training; review and pre-approval processes; due diligence on third party relationships; confidential reporting;
financial controls and record-keeping; and independent testing processes.

Bribery and corruption have no place at Citi. Personnel are prohibited from offering, requesting, or accepting
bribes and other improper financial advantages:

 Personnel may not provide anything of value to obtain or retain business or any advantage, financial
or otherwise. “Anything of value” extends beyond cash to include improper gifts, entertainment,
charitable and political contributions, and employment or internships for clients, government officials,
or their related persons.
 The prohibition against the provision of anything of value applies not only to government officials and
employees or officials of organizations with government ownership or control, but also includes
clients, suppliers, and any person with whom Citi does or anticipates doing business. Citi expressly
prohibits the provision of facilitation payments.

Citi expects all of its agents and suppliers to act at all times in compliance with applicable anti-bribery and
corruption laws and regulations.

Citi reserves the right to immediately terminate any business relationship that violates our high ethical
standards and our commitment to responsible finance.
