The provision of information in this communication is not based on your individual circumstances and should not be relied upon as an assessment of suitability for you of a particular product or transaction. It does not constitute investment advice and Citi makes no recommendation as to the suitability of any of the products or transactions mentioned. Even if Citi possesses information as to your objectives in relation to any transaction, series of transactions or trading strategy, this will not be deemed sufficient for any assessment of suitability for you of any transaction, series of transactions or trading strategy. Save in those jurisdictions where it is not permissible to make such a statement, we hereby inform you that this communication should not be considered as a solicitation or offer to sell or purchase any securities, deal in any product or enter into any transaction.

Prior to dealing in any product or entering into any transaction, you and the senior management in your organisation should determine, without reliance on Citi, (i) the economic risks or merits, as well as the legal, tax and accounting characteristics and consequences of dealing with any product or entering into the transaction (ii) that you are able to assume these risks, (iii) that such product or transaction is appropriate for a person with your experience, investment goals, financial resources or any other relevant circumstance or consideration. Where you are acting as an adviser or agent, you should evaluate this communication in light of the circumstances applicable to your principal and the scope of your authority.

Although all information has been obtained from, and is based upon sources believed to be reliable, it may be incomplete or condensed and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Citi makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of the information, the reasonableness of any assumptions used in calculating any illustrative performance information or the accuracy (mathematical or otherwise) or validity of such information.

Provision of information may cease at any time without reason or notice being given.

Where the communication contains “forward-looking” information, such information may include, but is not limited to, projections, forecasts or estimates of cashflows, yields or return, scenario analyses and proposed or expected portfolio composition. Any forward-looking information is based upon certain assumptions about future events or conditions and is intended only to illustrate hypothetical results under those assumptions (not all of which are specified herein or can be ascertained at this time).

Specific information for Switzerland

Services of Citi Commercial Banking ("CCB") offered in Switzerland do not involve or relate to financial instruments or transactions in financial instruments as defined in the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services of 15 June 2018, as amended from time to time ("FinSA"). CCB's referral or introduction activities to other Citi businesses, such as 'Markets' and 'Treasury and Trade Solutions', do not constitute an offer, insofar as (i) CCB is not acting on behalf of such other Citi businesses but introducing prospects and clients ("Clients") to the relevant contacts within such Citi businesses, which will in turn discuss with Clients and offer their respective financial services or products; and (ii) there is no offer made by CCB which Clients may accept, in terms of financial services, and/or recommendation on transactions in financial instruments as defined in FinSA. The services of CCB offered in Switzerland therefore do not constitute financial services under FinSA.
