As of Dec. 31, 2022, there were 332,913 active Access checking accounts. This figure excludes high-yield savings accounts. In 2022, Citi eliminated overdraft fees, returned item fees and overdraft protection fees, representing the Company’s continued commit- ment to expand access to inclusive banking products and services that can help advance economic progress, especially for underbanked and unbanked communities. In addition to eliminating these fees, Citi will continue to offer a robust suite of free overdraft protection services for its consumers.

Climate Training: Citi has launched an enterprise-wide training module on climate risk, which covers key climate risk concepts including: definition of climate risk, emerging climate risk standards, supervisory expectations and an overview of Citi’s efforts to date and initiatives to enhance climate risk management. Citi recognizes that climate-related training needs to be tailored to different positions and teams (e.g., risk management employees, frontline bankers and industry teams) where the development of subject matter expertise is imperative. There- fore, in 2022, Citi launched two different training pilots that involved virtual and in-person workshops for colleagues in banking, risk and global functions. The first pilot focused on foundational knowledge of sustainability and climate science for a cross-business cohort of Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory (BCMA) bankers. The second of these pilots focused on a “deeper dive” in assessing transition plans and client engagement, specifically for the Energy and Power portfolios.

A Note on Materiality and Forward-Looking Statements The disclosures included in this report are being provided to the public in an effort to provide trans- parency into our environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives to respond to investor and other stakeholder requests, and to further enhance our collective understanding of ESG issues. Our approaches to the disclosures included in this report differ in significant ways from those included in mandatory regulatory reporting, including under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Thus, while certain matters discussed in this report may be significant, any significance should not be read as necessarily rising to the level of materiality used for the purposes of complying with the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations, even if we use the word “material” or “materiality” in this report. Certain statements in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. These statements are not guarantees of future results, occurrences, or performance. Actual results and financial outcomes may differ materially from those included in any of these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the precautionary statements included in this report as well as the following factors: global socio-demographic and economic trends, climate-related conditions and weather events, energy prices and technological innovations, consumer and client behavior, data limitations and uncertainty, legislative and regulatory changes, and other unforeseen events or condi- tions. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward- looking statements can be found in this report, in Citi’s filings with the SEC, including, without limita- tion, the “Risk Factors” section of Citi’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Precautionary statements included in such filings should be read in conjunction with this document. Any forward-looking state- ments made by or on behalf of Citi speak only as to the date they are made, and Citi does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made. This report contains statements based on hypo- thetical or severely adverse scenarios and assumptions, and these statements should not necessarily be viewed as being representative of current or actual risk or forecasts of expected risk. While future events discussed in this report may be significant, any significance should not be read as necessarily rising to the level of materiality of the disclosures required under U.S. federal securities laws. © 2023 Citigroup Inc.
