7 Country Hot Topic – Shorter Settlement Cycle from T+3 to T+2  DTCC commissioned the Boston Consulting Group to conduct an industry survey –Performed cost-benefit analysis of moving from T+3 to T+2 versus T+1 as noted in the chart below –Industry leaning towards T+2 followed by reassessment of T+1 –DTCC is soliciting regulatory and industry working group endorsement  The T+2 Industry Steering Committee published an Implementation Playbook developed with Deloitte Advisory. –The Playbook provides a detailed timeline, milestones and dependencies that impacted market participants should consider in order to migrate to a two-day settlement cycle (T+2) –Financial services industry has expressed support for move to T+2 by Q3 2017  Two milestones are critical as they affect an organization’s ability to plan and execute the migration to T+2 and may delay the Q3 2017 “go-live” timeframe. They are: –Regulatory certainty (Q2 2016) –Industry-wide testing (Q3 2017)  Benefits may include: –Quicker access to capital and liquidity –Reduce counterparty risk exposure –Market efficiency and stability –Earlier funding of purchases –Quicker resolution of potential fails prior to settlement day

8 Disclaimer Citi believes that sustainability is good business practice. We work closely with our clients, peer financial institutions, NGOs and other partners to finance solutions to climate change, develop industry standards, reduce our own environmental footprint, and engage with stakeholders to advance shared learning and solutions. Highlights of Citi’s unique role in promoting sustainability include: (a) releasing in 2007 a Climate Change Position Statement, the first US financial institution to do so; (b) targeting $50 billion over 10 years to address global climate change: includes significant increases in investment and financing of renewable energy, clean technology, and other carbon-emission reduction activities; (c) committing to an absolute reduction in GHG emissions of all Citi owned and leased properties around the world by 10% by 2011; (d) purchasing more than 234,000 MWh of carbon neutral power for our operations over the last three years; (e) establishing in 2008 the Carbon Principles; a framework for banks and their U.S. power clients to evaluate and address carbon risks in the financing of electric power projects; (f) producing equity research related to climate issues that helps to inform investors on risks and opportunities associated with the issue; and (g) engaging with a broad range of stakeholders on the issue of climate change to help advance understanding and solutions. Citi works with its clients in greenhouse gas intensive industries to evaluate emerging risks from climate change and, where appropriate, to mitigate those risks. efficiency, renewable energy and mitigation © 2016 Citibank, N.A.
