Citi Recognized for Innovation, Leadership in Derivatives Clearing

Bank Wins Americas Derivatives House of the Year, Research and
Strategy House of the Year Awards

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Citi has once again been named Derivatives Clearing Bank of the Year by
GlobalCapital for the sixth straight year. The award was presented at
the annual Americas Derivatives Awards gala in New York which honor the
companies, innovations and people that have had the biggest impact on
the derivatives markets in the region during the past 12 months.

“We are extremely proud to have won this award for our sixth consecutive
year,” said Jerome Kemp, Global Head of Futures, Clearing and
Collateral. “It’s a testament of our continued success and our ability
to deliver innovative solutions to the market year after year.”

“The derivatives clearing business continues to be a top priority for
the firm as regulatory reform is implemented globally, and the market
moves away from bilateral swaps and towards cleared products,” said
Mariam Rafi, North American Head of OTC Clearing. “We have invested
strategically to grow the business and are well positioned to meet the
needs of our clients.”

“Once again Citi has distinguished itself, not just in its expertise and
ability to innovate for more efficient derivatives clearing, but also in
its advocacy for a better functioning industry,” said GlobalCapital
editors.

Citi Futures is one of the world’s largest participants in
exchange-traded derivative markets and has also established itself as a
market leader in the evolving OTC Clearing world.

In addition to Derivatives Clearing Bank of the Year, Citi also won
Derivative House of the Year and Research and Strategy House of the year
awards.

accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions.
