Hughes, declare and state as follows: 1. I am a Vice President of Class Actions at Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC (“KCC”). KCC is headquartered at 3301 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, California 94901. Pursuant to the Court’s September 4, 2018 Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Notice (ECF No. 134) (the “Preliminary Approval Order”), Lead Counsel was authorized to retain KCC as the Claims Administrator in connection with the proposed Settlement of the above-captioned Litigation.1 I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein and, if called upon, could and would testify thereto. 1 All terms with initial capitalization not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, dated August 20, 2018 (ECF No. 131) (the “Stipulation”). Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 3 of 35 MAILING OF THE POSTCARD NOTICE 2. In accordance with the Stipulation and Preliminary Approval Order, and as more fully described in the Declaration of Justin R. Hughes Regarding Registered Holder Data and Nominee Outreach and Response (the “Initial Hughes Declaration”), in September 2018, KCC received from Citibank, N.A.’s transfer agent, Computershare, 24 separate spreadsheets collectively containing the names, addresses and cash distribution information for 209,954 unique Registered Holder Damages Class Members (i.e., Class Members who hold (or held) their eligible American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) directly and are listed on the records of Citi’s transfer agent). 3. Pursuant to the Court’s Order Approving Modifications to Notice Plan and Schedule for Approval of Settlement, dated February 14, 2019 (ECF No. 145) (the “Notice Modification Order”), KCC was responsible for disseminating notice via postcard (the “Postcard Notice”) to Registered Holder Damages Class Members.2 A copy of the Postcard Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. In accordance with the Notice Modification Order, on March 15, 2019, KCC caused Postcard Notices to be mailed by first-class mail to 209,815 Registered Holder Damages Class Members.3 Following the initial mailing, through May 22, 2019, KCC has re-mailed 2,149 Postcard Notices that were initially returned as undeliverable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), but re-mailed based on updated addresses provided by the USPS or obtained through a third-party vendor to which KCC subscribes. 2 The efforts KCC conducted in accordance with the Preliminary Approval Order and prior to the Court’s entry of the Notice Modification Order—e.g., processing data received from Citi’s transfer agent and performing outreach to nominees, is set forth in the Initial Hughes Declaration. 3 Of the 209,954 unique Registered Holder Damages Class Members provided by Citi’s transfer agent, a total of 139 had incomplete address information and these records were removed from the mailing. 2 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 4 of 35 5. As a result of the efforts described above, as of May 22, 2019, KCC has mailed a total of 211,964 Postcard Notices. TELEPHONE HOTLINE 6. In accordance with the Preliminary Approval Order, KCC established and continues to maintain a toll-free telephone number (1-866-680-6138) for potential Class Members to call and obtain information about the Settlement, including important dates and deadlines. The telephone hotline connects callers with an Interactive Voice Recording (“IVR”), providing pre-recoded information about the Settlement and the ability to seek assistance from a live operator during regular business hours. The telephone hotline became operational on October 16, 2018. Following the Court’s entry of the Notice Modification Order, KCC updated the IVR to reflect the modifications to the notice plan approved by the Court as well as the revised Settlement-related dates and deadlines. 7. The telephone hotline is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As of May 22, 2019, KCC has received a total of 5,682 calls to the telephone hotline, of which 2,107 calls were handled by a live operator. SETTLEMENT WEBSITE 8. To further assist potential Class Members, KCC, in accordance with the Preliminary Approval Order and in coordination with Lead Counsel, designed, implemented and currently maintains a website, www.CitibankADRSettlement.com, dedicated to the Settlement (the “Settlement Website”). The address for the Settlement Website is set forth in the Postcard Notice, the long-form Notice, the Claim Form,4 and the Summary Notice utilized in the multi- 4 Copies of the Notice and Claim Form are attached hereto as Exhibits B and C. The Notice and Claim Form were updated to reflect the modifications approved by the Court’s Notice Modification Order as well as the revised Settlement-related dates and deadlines. 3 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 5 of 35 media notice campaign (“Multi-Media Notice Program”) and published in various magazines, newspapers and investment newsletters.5 9. The Settlement Website became operational on October 15, 2018, and following the Court’s entry of the Notice Modification Order, was updated to reflect the modifications to the notice plan approved by the Court and the revised Settlement-related dates and deadlines. The Settlement Website is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Settlement Website lists the exclusion, objection, and claim submission deadlines, as well as the date and time of the Final Approval Hearing. In addition, the Settlement Website contains links to downloadable copies of the Stipulation, Preliminary Approval Order, Notice Modification Order, Notice, Claim Form and operative complaint for the Litigation. The Settlement Website also contains detailed instructions for entities who wish to submit claims electronically. Finally, the Settlement Website provides Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members with the ability to file a claim online. 10. In conjunction with the Postcard Notice mailing to Registered Holder Damages Class Members, on March 15, 2019, KCC added functionality (the “Claim Portal”) to the Settlement Website so that Registered Holder Damages Class Members can access their holding and cash distribution information provided by Citi’s transfer agent using the unique Claim Number and PIN set forth on the Postcard Notice.

CITIGROUP, INC., CITIBANK, N.A., and CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., Defendants. NOTICE OF (I) PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT; (II) FINAL APPROVAL HEARING; AND (III) MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF LITIGATION EXPENSES TO: All persons or entities (1) who received cash distributions from the Depositary-sponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) listed in Appendix 1 hereto from January 1, 2006 to September 4, 2018, inclusive, and were damaged thereby (the “Damages Class”) and/or (2) who currently own the Depositary- sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto (the “Current Holder Class” and, together with the Damages Class, the “Class”). A Federal Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. This notice (“Notice”) is being issued pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and an Order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“Court”). The purpose of this Notice is to advise you of the pendency of the above-captioned class action (“Litigation”) and the proposed Settlement of the Litigation for $14,750,000 in cash and certain additional non-monetary relief (“Settlement”) on the terms and provisions contained in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated August 20, 2018 (“Stipulation”).1 The Honorable Colleen McMahon is presiding over the Litigation. Judge McMahon has provisionally certified the proposed Class for purposes of settlement only, has approved this Notice to potential members of the Class and has scheduled a final settlement hearing for July 12, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (“Final Approval Hearing”). The Final Approval Hearing will be held in Courtroom 24A of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007. The Settlement resolves claims by Benjamin Michael Merryman, Amy Whitaker Merryman Trust, and B Merryman and A Merryman 4th Generation Remainder Trust (“Named Plaintiffs”) and Chester County Employees Retirement Fund and Stephen Hildreth (“Proposed Intervenors” and, together with the Named Plaintiffs, “Plaintiffs”), that have been asserted on behalf of the Class against Citibank, N.A. (“Defendant” or “Depositary”). Plaintiffs allege that, during the relevant time period, Defendant – as depositary bank for the ADRs listed in Appendix 1 to this Notice – systematically deducted impermissible fees for conducting foreign exchange (“Conversion”) from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. A more detailed description of the claims asserted by Plaintiffs in the Litigation, as well as the history of the Litigation, is set forth in ¶¶ 11-21 below. As more fully described in ¶¶ 26-27 below, the Settlement provides for $14.75 million (“Settlement Amount”) to be paid by or on behalf of Defendant for the benefit of eligible Class Members, which amount has been deposited into an interest-bearing escrow account. The Net Settlement Fund (i.e., the Settlement Amount plus any interest earned thereon (“Settlement Fund”) less (i) any Taxes and Tax Expenses; (ii) any Notice and Administration Costs; and (iii) any attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses awarded by the Court) will be distributed to eligible Damages Class Members (i.e., “Authorized Recipients”) according to a Court-approved plan of allocation. The proposed Plan of Allocation is set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto. The Settlement also provides the additional non-monetary relief related to Conversions provided in ț 28 below. PLEASE NOTE: Those Damages Class Members who hold (or held) their eligible ADRs directly and are listed on the records of the Depositary’s transfer agent (the “Registered Holder Damages Class Members”) do not have to take any action in order to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. However, those Damages Class Members who hold (or held) their eligible ADRs through a bank, broker or other nominee and are not listed on the records of the Depositary’s transfer agent (the “Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members”) must complete and submit a valid Claim Form in order to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. See ¶¶ 38-40 below. 1 The Stipulation can be viewed at www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. Any capitalized terms used in this Notice that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stipulation. 1 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 12 of 35 Any questions regarding this Notice, the Litigation, the Settlement or your eligibility to participate in the Settlement should be directed to Lead Counsel: Sharan Nirmul, Esq., Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, 280 King of Prussia Road, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, (610) 667-7706, [email protected], www.ktmc.com.

Page 12 LISTS OF ADRS AT ISSUE IN THE LITIGATION Appendix 1 PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND Exhibit 1 SUMMARY OF THE SETTLEMENT 1. As described in more detail below (and in the operative complaint filed in the Litigation), Plaintiffs allege that during the relevant time period, the Depositary, as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible Conversion fees from dividends and/or cash distributions, and owed to ADR holders. A copy of the operative complaint in the Litigation – the Class Action Complaint dated November 20, 2015 (“Complaint”) – is available on the website for the Settlement, www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. 2. An Escrow Account has been established to hold the Settlement Amount prior to being distributed to Authorized Recipients pursuant to the Court-approved plan of allocation. After the Settlement becomes Final and pursuant to Order of the Court, the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to Authorized Recipients. As a result of the Court’s certification decision, Plaintiffs’ and the certified class’s alleged damages were approximately $4.6 million, based on the analysis of Plaintiffs’ damages expert. With the inclusion of Proposed Intervenors Chester County Employees Retirement Fund and Stephen Hildreth (intervention to which the Depositary is stipulating for purposes of the Settlement), the Class’s alleged damages range from approximately $61.9 million to $68.8 million. These amounts are only estimates. The Depositary does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ damages expert’s calculation, or that there were any damages. A Damages Class Member’s Recognized Claim, as explained in the Plan of Allocation, reflects Plaintiffs’ view of the purported margin(s) retained by the Depositary for Conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions. A Damages Class Member’s actual recovery will be based upon the Net Settlement Fund, which will consist of the Settlement Fund, less certain amounts to be deducted from the Settlement Fund as described herein and in the Stipulation, including expenses associated with providing notice to the Class, Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses (including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs for the effort and time spent by them in connection with the prosecution of the Litigation), Taxes and Tax Expenses, and other costs related to the administration of the Settlement and implementation of the Plan of Allocation, and will be allocated in accordance with the plan of allocation approved by the Court. (See ¶¶ 41-44 below and the proposed Plan of Allocation attached as Exhibit 1.) 3 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 14 of 35 3. The Class is defined as follows: All persons or entities (1) who received cash distributions from the Depositary-sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto from January 1, 2006 to September 4, 2018, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby and/or (2) who currently own the Depositary-sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto. Please Note: There are exceptions to being included in the Class. A description of those persons and entities excluded by definition from the Class is provided below in ¶ 25. 4. As with any litigation, the Parties would face an uncertain outcome of continuing this Litigation. Absent the Settlement, orders and appeals in connection with the Proposed Intervenors’ motion (see ¶ 18 below), summary judgment and a trial could result in a judgment or verdict greater or less than the recovery obtained by the Settlement, or no recovery at all. This Litigation has been hotly contested from the outset. Throughout this Litigation, Plaintiffs and the Depositary have disagreed on both liability and damages. The Depositary, among other things: (1) has denied, and continues to deny, the material allegations of the Complaint, (2) has denied, and continues to deny, any wrongdoing or liability whatsoever, (3) believes that its actions were a proper exercise of its judgment and in good faith, and were consistent with its obligations under the governing deposit agreements and complied with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes, market practices, and standards, (4) would assert certain other defenses, including statute of limitations defenses, if this Settlement is not consummated, and (5) is entering into the Settlement solely to avoid the cost, disruption, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The Parties have taken into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in this Litigation, particularly its complex nature, and have concluded that it is desirable that this Litigation be fully and finally settled on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation. 5. Over the course of this Litigation, the Parties briefed a motion to dismiss the Complaint and engaged in discovery efforts, which included the Depositary’s production of over 81,000 pages of documents, Named Plaintiffs’ production of over 2,500 pages of documents, productions from several third parties, 13 depositions and the exchange of expert reports. 6. Lead Counsel in this Litigation, on behalf of Plaintiffs’ counsel, will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed 33⅓% of the Settlement Amount and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses of Plaintiffs’ counsel in an amount not to exceed $800,000, plus interest earned on these amounts. Plaintiffs will share in the allocation of the money paid to members of the Class on the same basis and to the same extent as all other members of the Class, except that, in addition thereto, Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for Service Awards of up to $25,000 in the aggregate. Any Service Awards granted to Plaintiffs by the Court will be payable from the Settlement Fund, and will compensate Plaintiffs for their effort and time spent in connection with the prosecution of the Litigation, as supported by adequate written documentation of such effort and time. The aggregate amount of Service Awards (i.e., $25,000) is reflected in the maximum amount of Litigation Expenses set forth above. BASIC INFORMATION What Is The Purpose Of This Notice? 7. The Court has directed the issuance of this Notice to inform potential members of the Class about the proposed Settlement with the Depositary before the Court decides whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, and any related objections and appeals are favorably resolved, the Settlement Amount, net of the costs, fees and expenses described herein, will be allocated among eligible Damages Class Members according to a Court-approved plan of allocation and the Defendant Released Parties and Plaintiff Released Parties will be released from all Released Claims and Released Defendant Claims, respectively, as set forth in the Stipulation. 8. This Notice explains the Litigation, the Settlement, your legal rights (if you are a Class Member as defined in ¶25 below), what benefits are available, who is eligible for them, and how you will receive your portion of the benefits. The Notice also informs you of the Final Approval Hearing to be held by the Court to consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement and to consider Lead Counsel’s motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses from the Settlement Amount, which may include Service Awards to Plaintiffs. 9. The Final Approval Hearing will be on July 12, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Colleen McMahon in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Courtroom 24A of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007, to determine: x whether the Settlement should be finally approved as fair, reasonable and adequate; x whether the Complaint should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to the terms of the Settlement; x whether the Notice and the means of dissemination thereof pursuant to the Settlement: (i) were appropriate and reasonable and constituted due, adequate, and sufficient notice to all persons and entities entitled to such notice and (ii) met all applicable requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and any other applicable law; and x whether Lead Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, including Service Awards to Plaintiffs, should be approved. 4 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 15 of 35 10. The issuance of this Notice is not an expression of the Court’s opinion on the merits of any claim in this Litigation, and the Court still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, payment to Authorized Recipients will be made after all related appeals, if any, are favorably resolved. It is always uncertain whether such appeals can be favorably resolved, and resolving them can take time, perhaps more than a year. Please be patient. What Is This Litigation About? What Has Happened So Far? 11. On June 2, 2015, Named Plaintiffs filed a complaint in the action captioned Merryman et al. v. Citigroup, Inc. et al., 15-cv-05129-TLB (W.D. Ark.) (“Arkansas Complaint”) asserting claims against Citigroup Inc., Citibank, N.A. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively, the “Citi Defendants”). The Arkansas Complaint asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and conversion. On July 10, 2015, the Citi Defendants moved to dismiss, or, in the alternative, to transfer the Arkansas Complaint to the Southern District of New York, which Named Plaintiffs opposed on September 4, 2015. On November 19, 2015, the court granted the Citi Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Arkansas Complaint without prejudice on the grounds that the court lacked personal jurisdiction over the Citi Defendants. 12. On November 20, 2015, Named Plaintiffs filed the initial complaint in the Litigation (i.e., the “Class Action Complaint”) asserting claims against the Citi Defendants. Specifically, the Class Action Complaint asserted claims for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Citibank, N.A. and claims for conversion against all of the Citi Defendants. As noted above, Named Plaintiffs alleged that during the relevant time period, Citibank, N.A., as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible fees from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. More specifically, as Named Plaintiffs alleged, the Depositary assigned Conversion rates to the Conversion of non-U.S. dollar-based dividends and cash distributions by foreign companies, which reflected a spread that was added to the Conversion rate the Depositary actually received at the time of the Conversion. As a result of its practice of adding a spread to Conversion rates, Named Plaintiffs alleged that the Depositary improperly retained millions of dollars from dividends and cash distributions owed and payable to the class. 13. On December 28, 2015, the Citi Defendants moved to dismiss the Class Action Complaint with prejudice pursuant to the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998, 15 U.S.C. §78bb(f)(1), or Rules 8(a), 12(b)(1), and/or 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Named Plaintiffs opposed the motion on January 11, 2016, and the Citi Defendants filed a reply in support of their motion on January 19, 2016. On August 15, 2016, the Court entered its Memorandum Decision and Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (“MTD Order”). Specifically, the Court: (i) denied the motion as to Count I finding that Named Plaintiffs stated a claim for breach of contract and (ii) granted the motion, with prejudice, as to Counts II and III, dismissing Named Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of implied duty of good faith as duplicative and their claim for conversion for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted.2 By the MTD Order, the Court also (i) denied the motion, without prejudice to renewal, as to all claims asserted for the period prior to November 20, 2010, (ii) denied the Citi Defendants’ claim that the breach of contract claim was barred under SLUSA, and (iii) granted the motion and dismissed Named Plaintiffs’ claims for punitive damages. 14. The Depositary answered the Class Action Complaint on August 30, 2016. 15. On October 7, 2016, the Depositary filed a motion seeking an order certifying the Court’s MTD Order for interlocutory appeal and a partial stay of discovery related to ADRs other than those held by Named Plaintiffs and/or events prior to November 20, 2010. Named Plaintiffs opposed the Depositary’s motion on October 21, 2016 and the Depositary filed its reply in support of its motion on October 28, 2016. On January 6, 2017, the Court entered its Memorandum Decision and Order Denying Defendants’ Motion for Certification of an Interlocutory Appeal and to Stay Discovery and ordered the parties to submit a schedule for discovery. 16. Thereafter, Named Plaintiffs and the Depositary commenced discovery, which included the Depositary producing over 81,000 pages of documents, Named Plaintiffs producing over 2,500 pages of documents, document productions from several third parties, 13 depositions and the exchange of expert reports. 17. On June 30, 2017, Named Plaintiffs moved for class certification, which the Depositary opposed on August 17, 2017. Named Plaintiffs filed a reply in support of their motion on September 15, 2017, as well as a motion to exclude the Depositary’s reliance on the declaration of Scott Pollak, the Depositary’s Rule 30(b)(6) designee. On November 3, 2017, the Depositary filed a motion to preclude the proposed testimony of Named Plaintiffs’ expert G. William Brown, Jr. On March 22, 2018, the Court entered its Decision and Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification (“Class Certification Order”), certifying a class limited only to the three Depositary-sponsored ADRs personally owned by Named Plaintiffs. Also by its Class Certification Order, the Court found that Named Plaintiffs could not bring claims for injunctive relief, as no Named Plaintiff continued to hold these three Depositary-sponsored ADRs. 18. In response to the Class Certification Order, Chester County Employees Retirement Fund and Stephen Hildreth, owning 21 of the 35 ADRs covered by Named Plaintiffs’ original proposed class definition, filed a motion to intervene in the Litigation on May 9, 2018. The Proposed Intervenors also continue to hold Depositary-sponsored ADRs. The Depositary opposed the Proposed Intervenors’ motion on May 23, 2018, and the Proposed Intervenors filed a reply in support of their motion on May 31, 2018. 2 With the Court’s dismissal of Counts II and III, Citigroup Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. were dismissed from the Litigation. 5 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 16 of 35 19. During the foregoing efforts, counsel for Named Plaintiffs and counsel for the Depositary began discussing the possibility of resolving the Litigation. Following hard-fought, arm’s-length negotiations spanning the course of several months, the Parties reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the Litigation and informed the Court of this agreement on June 6, 2018. The Parties negotiated a term sheet setting forth the material terms of their agreement, which was executed on June 26, 2018. 20. Over the following weeks, the Parties negotiated and documented the specific terms and conditions of the Settlement, which are embodied in the Stipulation entered on August 20, 2018. The Stipulation can be viewed at www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. 21. On September 4, 2018, the Court entered the Preliminary Approval Order, directing notice to potential Class Members and scheduling the Final Approval Hearing to consider whether to grant final approval of the Settlement, among other things. On February 14, 2019, the Court entered an Order approving certain modifications to the notice plan. Why Is This Litigation A Class Action? 22. In a class action, one or more individuals or entities, referred to as “plaintiffs,” sue on behalf of individuals and entities who have similar claims. All of the Persons on whose behalf Named Plaintiffs in this Litigation are suing are members of a “class” referred to in this Notice as Class Members or members of the Class. Because Named Plaintiffs believe that the wrongful conduct alleged in this case affected all holders of the Depositary-sponsored ADRs at issue in the Litigation (reflected in Appendix 1 hereto) in the same way, Named Plaintiffs filed their case as a putative class action. The Class has been provisionally certified by the Court for purposes of effectuating the Settlement. Why Is There A Settlement? 23. The Court has not expressed any opinions or reached any decisions on the ultimate merits of Named Plaintiffs’ claims against the Depositary. Instead, Plaintiffs and the Depositary have agreed to a Settlement to resolve the Litigation. In reaching the Settlement, the Parties have avoided the cost and time of further litigation, including the costs and expenses involved in completing discovery, summary judgment briefing, a trial, post-trial briefing and potential appeals. As with any litigation, Plaintiffs would face an uncertain outcome if this case proceeded. Pursuing the Litigation against the Depositary could result in a verdict offering relief greater than the Settlement, a verdict for less money than Plaintiffs have obtained through the Settlement, or no recovery at all. Based on these risks and an evaluation of other unique risks presented by this case, Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe the Settlement is in the best interests of all members of the Class. Additional information concerning the Settlement is available on the website, www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. 24. As stated above, the Settlement is the product of hard-fought, arm’s-length negotiations between Lead Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel, both of which are very experienced with respect to complex litigation of this type. Lead Counsel believes the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and in the best interest of the Class. How Do I Know If I Am Part Of The Class? 25. The Court has provisionally certified the following Class: All persons or entities (1) who received cash distributions from the Depositary-sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto from January 1, 2006 to September 4, 2018, inclusive, and who were damaged thereby (i.e., the Damages Class) and/or (2) who currently own the Depositary-sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto (i.e., the Current Holder Class). The Depositary and its officers, directors, legal representatives, heirs, successors, corporate parents, subsidiaries, and/or assigns, other than Investment Vehicles (which are not excluded) are excluded from the Class only to the extent that such persons or entities had a proprietary (i.e., for their own account) interest in the ADRs listed in Appendix 1 hereto and not to the extent that they have held the ADRs in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise on behalf of any third-party client, account, fund, trust or employee benefit plan that otherwise falls within the definition of the Class. Also excluded from the Class are any persons and entities who or which exclude themselves from the Class by submitting a request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE A CLASS MEMBER AND WHETHER YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS FROM THE SETTLEMENT. IF YOU ARE A NON-REGISTERED HOLDER DAMAGES CLASS MEMBER AND YOU WISH TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A PAYMENT FROM THE SETTLEMENT, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM AND THE REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AS SET FORTH THEREIN POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN AUGUST 12, 2019. YOU CAN OBTAIN A COPY OF THE CLAIM FORM, OR SUBMIT A CLAIM ONLINE, AT WWW.CITIBANKADRSETTLEMENT.COM. What Does The Settlement Provide? 26. The Settlement provides for $14,750,000 to be paid by or on behalf of Defendant to settle the Litigation. The $14,750,000, plus interest that accrues on this amount, will be distributed to the Damages Class after costs, expenses and fees are deducted as described below. As noted above, as a result of the Court’s class certification decision, Plaintiffs’ and the certified class’s alleged damages were approximately $4.6 million, based on the analysis of Plaintiffs’ damages expert. With the inclusion of the Proposed Intervenors, the Class’s alleged damages range from approximately $61.9 million to $68.8 million. These 6 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 17 of 35 amounts are only estimates. The Depositary does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ damages expert’s calculation, or that there were any damages. A Damages Class Member’s Recognized Claim, as explained in the Plan of Allocation, reflects Plaintiffs’ view of the purported margin(s) retained by the Depositary for Conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions. A Damages Class Member’s actual recovery will depend upon the net amount in the Settlement Fund (after the deduction of certain amounts as described herein and in the Stipulation, including Notice and Administration Costs, Court-approved attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses, including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs, and Taxes and Tax Expenses), which will be allocated and paid to eligible Damages Class Members according to the plan of allocation approved by the Court. 27. The Settlement will provide for cash payments to Damages Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Class pursuant to ¶¶ 46-51 below. Registered Holder Damages Class Members do not need to submit a Claim Form in order to be eligible for a payment from the Settlement. Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members must submit a valid Claim Form in order to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. 28. In addition to the $14,750,000 cash recovery, the Settlement also provides additional non-monetary relief for the Class. Defendant has agreed to the following additional relief: (a) Definitions: As used in this ¶ 28, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: x “Conversion Provider” refers to any entity, division, or business unit affiliated with the Depositary that converts or causes to be converted cash distributions on behalf of the Depositary. A Conversion Provider may transact with an affiliated market-making desk, e.g., CitiFX, when conducting a Conversion, and that desk is entitled to make a profit on any such transactions without regard to any provision of this agreement. x “Conversion” refers to the conversion of foreign currency of any cash distribution paid by any Depositary-sponsored ADR issuer (“Issuer”) pursuant to a Deposit Agreement. Conversions may be executed in multiple subparts. (b) Conversion Charge: Defendant agrees that it and its Conversion Providers shall charge no more than 20 (twenty) basis points for any Conversion. (c) Right to Modify the Conversion Charge: Notwithstanding ¶ 28(b), Defendant and an Issuer may agree to modify the Conversion Charge set forth in the Stipulation, as required by the relevant depositary agreement and any applicable SEC rules. (d) Conversion by Unaffiliated Entities and Issuers: Notwithstanding ¶ 28(b) and the capabilities of the Depositary or its Conversion Providers to enter into a Conversion, it is agreed that (i) Conversions may be managed and executed by unaffiliated local custodians or third-parties (“Unaffiliated Conversion Providers”), and, for such Conversions, the foreign exchange rate applied by the Unaffiliated Conversion Providers will be the rate given to ADR holders and (ii) Conversions may be managed at the discretion of the Issuer, meaning the Issuer may: (a) convert foreign currency independent of the Depositary and/or its Conversion Providers and/or (b) provide dividends or cash to the Depositary in US dollars at a conversion rate determined by the Issuer. (e) Multiple Days and Transactions: It is expressly agreed that the Depositary, or its Conversion Providers, may execute Conversions through multiple transactions, or over multiple days. 29. If the Settlement is approved, the Court will enter a judgment (“Order and Final Judgment”). The Order and Final Judgment will dismiss with prejudice the claims alleged in the Litigation against Defendant and pursuant to the Order and Final Judgment, without further action by anyone, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Plaintiffs and each member of the Class, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns, in their capacities as such, shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and of the judgment shall have, fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Claim (as defined below) against any of the Defendant Released Parties (as defined below), and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Claims against any of the Defendant Released Parties. 30. In addition, pursuant to the Order and Final Judgment, without further action by anyone, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Plaintiffs and each member of the Class, on behalf of themselves and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors, and assigns, in their capacities as such, shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and of the judgment shall have, fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Claim against the Unaffiliated Conversion Providers and any Issuer (as those terms are defined above in ¶ 28(a)), as well as their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees, and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Claims against any of the Unaffiliated Conversion Providers and any Issuer, as well as their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees. 31. “Released Claims” means all claims and causes of action of every nature and description, whether known or unknown (i.e., “Unknown Claims” as defined below), whether arising under federal, state, common or foreign law, whether class or individual in nature, that (a) Plaintiffs or any other member of the Class have asserted in any complaint filed in the Litigation (“Complaints”) or (b) Plaintiffs or any other member of the Class could have asserted in any forum that arise out of or are based upon the allegations set forth in the Complaints including claims related to all Depositary-sponsored ADRs. 7 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 18 of 35 “Released Claims” do not include claims arising out of, based upon, relating to, concerning, or in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of the terms of the Settlement. 32. “Defendant Released Parties” means the Depositary and its affiliates, officers, directors and employees. 33. “Unknown Claims” means any and all claims that any Plaintiff or any other Class Member does not know or suspect to exist in his, her, or its favor at the time of the release of the Released Claims, and any and all claims that Defendant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of the release of the Released Defendant Claims, which if known to him, her or it might have affected his, her or its decision(s) with respect to the Settlement, including, but not limited to, his, her or its decision to object or not to object to the Settlement or not to exclude himself, herself or itself from the Class. With respect to any and all Released Claims and Released Defendant Claims, the Parties stipulate and agree that, upon the Effective Date, each of the Plaintiffs and Defendant shall expressly waive, and each of the other Class Members shall be deemed to have, and by operation of the Order and Final Judgment or any Alternative Judgment shall have, expressly waived and relinquished any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or any other jurisdiction, or principle of common law that is similar, comparable, or equivalent to California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. Any Plaintiff or Class Member may hereafter discover facts, legal theories, or authorities in addition to or different from those which he, she, or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but each of the Plaintiffs shall expressly, fully, and forever settle and release, and each Class Member shall be deemed to have settled and released, and upon the Effective Date and by operation of the Order and Final Judgment or any Alternative Judgment shall have settled and released, fully, finally, and forever, any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspect or unsuspected, contingent or noncontingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed or will exist, upon any theory of law or equity, including, but not limited to, conduct which is negligent, reckless, intentional, with or without malice, or breach of any duty, law, or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, legal theories, or authorities. Plaintiffs and Defendant acknowledge, and each of the Class Members shall be deemed by operation of law to have acknowledged, that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and a key element of the Settlement. 34. In addition, if the Settlement is approved, pursuant to the Order and Final Judgment, without further action by anyone, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, Defendant shall be deemed to have, and by operation of law and of the judgment shall have, fully, finally and forever compromised, settled, released, resolved, relinquished, waived and discharged each and every Released Defendant Claim (as defined below) against the Plaintiff Released Parties (as defined below), and shall forever be barred and enjoined from prosecuting any or all of the Released Defendant Claims against any of the Plaintiff Released Parties. 35. “Released Defendant Claims” means all claims and causes of action of every nature and description, whether known or unknown (i.e., “Unknown Claims” as defined below), whether arising under federal, state, common or foreign law, whether class or individual in nature, that arise out of or relate in any way to the institution, prosecution, or settlement of the claims against Defendant. “Released Defendant Claims” do not include claims arising out of, based upon, relating to, concerning, or in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of the terms of the Settlement. 36. “Plaintiff Released Parties” means Plaintiffs. 37. Please Note: The complete terms of the Settlement are set forth in the Stipulation which may be viewed on the website www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. How Do I Participate In The Settlement? What Do I Need To Do? 38. If you are a Damages Class Member who holds (or held) your eligible ADRs through a bank, broker or other nominee and are not listed on the records of the Depositary’s transfer agent (i.e., a Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Member) and you wish to be eligible to receive a payment from the proceeds of the Settlement, you must timely complete and return the Claim Form with adequate supporting documentation postmarked, or submitted online, no later than AUGUST 12, 2019. You can go to www.CitibankADRSettlement.com to submit a Claim Form. You can also obtain a Claim Form on the website, or you may request that a Claim Form be mailed to you by calling the Claims Administrator toll free at 1-866-680-6138 or by sending an email to the Claims Administrator at [email protected]. Please retain all records of your holdings in the eligible ADRs, as they may be needed to document your claim. If you are a Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Member and do not submit a timely and valid Claim Form, you will not be eligible to share in the Net Settlement Fund. 39. If you are a Damages Class Member who holds (or held) your eligible ADRs directly and are listed on the records of the Depositary’s transfer agent (i.e., a Registered Holder Damages Class Member) you do not have to take any further action in order to participate in the Settlement and be potentially eligible to receive a payment from the proceeds of the Settlement. If you are a Registered Holder Damages Class Member, you should receive/should have received a Post-Card Notice in the mail that contains a unique Claim Number and PIN. You can use this Claim Number and PIN to access information regarding the eligible ADRs you held and the cash distributions you received as a result of such holdings that was obtained from the Depositary’s transfer agent on the website, www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. Please Note: If you are a Registered 8 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 19 of 35 Holder Damages Class Member, your Recognized Claim and payment amount will be calculated pursuant to the information provided by the Depositary’s transfer agent. If the information regarding your holdings and distributions set forth on the website is incorrect or incomplete, you must notify the Claims Administrator (as set forth in ¶ 72 herein) immediately. If the Claims Administrator does not hear from you, they will assume the information provided by the Depositary’s transfer agent and set forth on the website is correct and complete and will use this information to calculate your Claim. 40. Damages Class Members who exclude themselves from the Class pursuant to ¶¶ 46-51 below, will not receive a payment from the Settlement proceeds. What Will Be My Share Of The Settlement Fund? 41. At this time, it is not possible to make a precise determination as to the amount of any payment that any individual Damages Class Member may receive from the Settlement. 42. Exhibit 1 to this Notice sets forth the Plan of Allocation for allocating the Net Settlement Fund among Authorized Recipients, as proposed by Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel. At the Final Approval Hearing, Lead Counsel will request the Court approve the Plan of Allocation. The Court may modify the Plan of Allocation, or approve a different plan of allocation, without further notice to the Class. 43. The Plan of Allocation describes the manner by which the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to eligible Damages Class Members. In general, the Net Settlement Fund will be allocated to (i) Registered Holder Damages Class Members and (ii) Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms. The amount paid to each Authorized Recipient will depend on each Authorized Recipient’s calculated Recognized Claim, relative to the Recognized Claims of other Authorized Recipients. Because the Net Settlement Fund most likely will be less than the total losses alleged to have been suffered in the Litigation, an Authorized Recipient’s proportionate recovery most likely will be less than their alleged loss. 44. The tax treatment of any distribution varies based upon the recipient’s tax status and treatment of its investments. The tax treatment of any distribution from the Net Settlement Fund is the responsibility of each recipient. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences, if any, of any distribution to you. When Will I Receive My Payment? 45. Payment is conditioned on several matters, including the Court’s approval of the Settlement and that approval becoming Final and no longer subject to any appeals. If the Court approves the Settlement and a plan of allocation, then payments to Authorized Recipients will be made after any appeals are resolved and after the completion of all Claims processing. Please be patient, as this process can take some time to complete. Can I Exclude Myself From The Class? 46. Yes. You may request to be excluded (also referred to as “opting-out”) from the Class. If you request exclusion, (a) you will not participate in any distribution of the Net Settlement Fund and you will not receive any part of the Settlement Amount; (b) you will not be bound by the terms of the Settlement, including the Releases, and you will retain any right to file your own lawsuit concerning the Released Claims; and (c) you will not be able to object to the Settlement. 47. In the event you wish to exclude yourself from the Class, you must submit a written Request for Exclusion, which must be received no later than June 7, 2019, to: Citibank ADR Settlement EXCLUSIONS c/o KCC Class Action Services 3301 Kerner Boulevard San Rafael, CA 94901 48. In order to be valid, your Request for Exclusion must set forth: (i) your name; (ii) your address; (iii) your telephone number; (iv) the identity (including quantity and dates held) of the ADRs listed in Appendix 1 that you held and the cash distributions you received per eligible ADR from January 1, 2006 to September 4, 2018, inclusive; and (v) a statement that you wish to be excluded from the Class in the Litigation. 49. To be effective, your Request for Exclusion must be received no later than June 7, 2019. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any Class Member who does not submit a timely and valid Request for Exclusion as provided herein shall be bound by the Settlement. Do not request exclusion if you wish to participate in the Settlement. 50. You cannot exclude yourself on the Settlement website, by telephone or by email. If you do not follow these procedures – including meeting the deadline for requesting exclusion set forth above – you will not be excluded from the Class, and you will be bound by all of the orders and judgments entered by the Court regarding the Settlement, including the release of claims. 9 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 20 of 35 51. Please Note: If you decide to exclude yourself from the Class, there is a risk that any lawsuit you may file to pursue claims alleged in the Litigation may be dismissed, including because the suit is not filed within the applicable time periods required for filing suit. The Depositary will have the right to assert any and all defenses it may have to any claims you seek to assert. Also, the Depositary may terminate the Settlement if potential Class Members who meet certain criteria exclude themselves from the Class. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU Do I Have A Lawyer In This Case? 52. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP is Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs and the Class in the Litigation. You will not be charged directly by Lead Counsel or any other firms representing Plaintiffs in this case. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense. How Will The Lawyers Be Paid? 53. Lead Counsel, on behalf of Plaintiffs’ counsel, will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses. Lead Counsel has fee-sharing agreements with additional counsel G. Chadd Mason, Esq. of Prevost, Shaff, Mason & Carns, PLLC (formerly of Mason Law Firm, PLC), 220 S. School Avenue, Fayetteville, AR 72701, and Amy C. Martin, Esq. of Amy C. Martin P.A. (formerly of Everett, Wales and Comstock), P.O. Box 765, Fayetteville, AR 72702, which provide that Lead Counsel will compensate these firms from the attorneys’ fees that Lead Counsel receives in this Litigation in amounts commensurate with those firms’ efforts in the Litigation. Lead Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees will not exceed 33⅓% of the Settlement Fund plus reimbursement of Litigation Expenses not to exceed $800,000 incurred in connection with the prosecution and resolution of this Litigation. Lead Counsel’s application for attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses, which may include requests for Service Awards to Plaintiffs up to an aggregate amount of $25,000, will be filed by May 24, 2019, and the Court will consider this application at the Final Approval Hearing. A copy of Lead Counsel’s application for fees and expenses will be available for review at www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. Any award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, including any Service Awards to Plaintiffs, will be paid from the Settlement Fund prior to allocation and payment to Authorized Recipients. Class Members are not personally liable for any such attorneys’ fees or expenses. 54. To date, neither Lead Counsel nor any other firms representing Plaintiffs have received any payment for their services in prosecuting this Litigation on behalf of the Class, nor have any counsel been reimbursed for their out-of- pocket expenses incurred in connection with litigating this Litigation. The attorneys’ fees requested by Lead Counsel will compensate counsel for their efforts in achieving the Settlement for the benefit of the Class and for their risk in undertaking this representation on a contingency basis. The Court will determine the actual amount of the award. 55. By following the procedures described in ¶¶ 56-62 below, you can tell the Court that you do not agree with the attorneys’ fees and expenses Lead Counsel intends to seek and ask the Court to deny its motion or limit the award. OBJECTIONS How Do I Tell The Court If I Do Not Like The Settlement? 56. Any Class Member may appear at the Final Approval Hearing and explain why he, she or it thinks the Settlement of the Litigation as embodied in the Stipulation should not be approved as fair, reasonable and adequate and why a judgment should not be entered thereon, why the attorneys’ fees and expenses of Plaintiffs’ Counsel should not be awarded, in whole or in part, or why Plaintiffs should not be awarded any Service Awards, in whole or in part. However, no Class Member shall be heard or entitled to contest these matters unless such Class Member has filed a written objection with the Court. 57. To object, you must send a letter or other written statement saying that you object to the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and/or Lead Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses (including Service Awards) in Merryman et al. v. Citigroup, Inc. et al., 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, signature, and a full explanation of all reasons why you object to the Settlement. You must also include documents sufficient to prove your membership in the Class, including any of the ADRs listed on Appendix 1 that you held and the cash distributions you received as a result of such holdings during the relevant time period. 58. Your written objection must be filed with the Court, and served by mail upon the counsel listed below by no later than June 7, 2019: CLERK’S OFFICE LEAD COUNSEL DEFENDANT’S COUNSEL United States District Court Sharan Nirmul, Esq.

Such persons may be heard orally at the discretion of the Court. 61. You are not required to hire an attorney to represent you in making written objections to any aspect of the Settlement or in appearing at the Final Approval Hearing. However, if you decide to hire an attorney, it will be at your own expense, and that attorney must file a notice of appearance with the Court and serve it on Lead Counsel and Defendant’s Counsel at the addresses set forth above so that the notice is received on or before June 7, 2019. 62. UNLESS OTHERWISE ORDERED BY THE COURT, ANY CLASS MEMBER WHO DOES NOT OBJECT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED HEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OBJECTION AND SHALL BE FOREVER FORECLOSED FROM MAKING ANY OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE PROPOSED PLAN OF ALLOCATION AND/OR LEAD COUNSEL’S REQUEST FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, LITIGATION EXPENSES, AND ANY SERVICE AWARDS.

The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing at 10:00 a.m. on July 12, 2019, before the Honorable Colleen McMahon in Courtroom 24A of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007. 64. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT, PLAN OF ALLOCATION OR THE REQUESTS FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND LITIGATION EXPENSES (INCLUDING ANY SERVICE AWARDS), YOU NEED NOT ATTEND THE FINAL APPROVAL HEARING. 65. At the Final Approval Hearing, the Court will consider whether the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. At or after the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. The Court will also consider any motions for attorneys’ fees, expenses of Plaintiffs’ counsel, and Service Awards for Plaintiffs, as well as the proposed Plan of Allocation. We do not know how long these decisions will take. Do I Have To Come To The Hearing? 66. No. Lead Counsel will answer any questions that the Court may have about the Settlement at the Final Approval Hearing. You are not required to attend the Final Approval Hearing but are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection, you do not have to come to Court to discuss it. As long as you filed your written objection on time, it will be before the Court when the Court considers whether to approve the Settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. You may also have your own lawyer attend the Final Approval Hearing at your expense, but such attendance is not mandatory. See ¶ 61 above. 67. The Final Approval Hearing may be rescheduled by the Court without further notice to the Class. If you wish to attend the Final Approval Hearing, you should confirm the date and time with Lead Counsel. May I Speak At The Hearing? 68. If you are a Class Member and you have filed a timely objection, and if you wish to speak, present evidence or present testimony at the Final Approval Hearing, you must state in your objection your intention to do so, and must identify any witnesses you intend to call or evidence you intend to present. See ¶ 60 above. IF YOU DO NOTHING What Happens If I Do Nothing At All? 69. If you are a member of the Class and do nothing and the Settlement is approved, you will be bound by the terms of the Settlement and you will be deemed to have released all Released Claims against all of the Defendant Released Parties. 70. If you are a Registered Holder Damages Class Member and do nothing, you will receive your pro rata payment from the Settlement as described in the Plan of Allocation attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The Claims Administrator will calculate your Recognized Claim using the information regarding your dividends/cash distributions provided by the Depositary’s transfer agent. However, if you are a Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Member and do nothing, you will not be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. If you are a Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Member you must submit a valid Claim Form to be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement. 11 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 22 of 35 GETTING MORE INFORMATION How Do I Get More Information? 71.

In accordance with the Settlement, the Net Settlement Fund will be allocated to (i) Registered Holder Damages Class Members and (ii) Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms. The Court may approve the below Plan, or modify it, without additional notice to the Class. Any order modifying the Plan will be posted on the website for the Settlement, www.CitibankADRSettlement.com. The objective of the Plan is to equitably distribute the Net Settlement Fund among as many Class Members as possible. The Plan is based on Plaintiffs’ view of the average annual margin per ADR that the Depositary retained on Conversions of ADR dividends and cash distributions as determined by Plaintiffs’ damages expert. The Depositary produced data concerning the Conversion rates, volumes and payable dates for the dividends and cash distributions for the ADRs listed in Appendix 1 to the Notice, as well the amount (if any) it retained for fourteen of those ADRs between January 1, 2007 and April 30, 2017. Utilizing this data, Plaintiffs’ damages expert calculated the average annual margin per ADR for each year from 2007 to 2016 and extrapolated the margins for 2006, 2017 and 2018 based on the overall average margin per ADR. The Depositary does not concede the accuracy of Plaintiffs’ damages expert’s calculation, or that there were any damages. The Plan is intended to be generally consistent with an assessment of, among other things, the damages that Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel believe could have been recovered for the claims asserted in the Litigation, and reflect Plaintiffs’ allegations that over the course of the relevant time period, Defendant, as depositary bank for the issuance of ADRs, systematically deducted impermissible fees for conducting Conversions from dividends and/or cash distributions issued by foreign companies, and owed to ADR holders. To the extent there are sufficient funds in the Net Settlement Fund, each Authorized Recipient will receive an amount equal to that Damages Class Member’s “Recognized Claim,” as described below. If, however, as expected, the amount in the Net Settlement Fund is not sufficient to permit payment of the total Recognized Claim of each Authorized Recipient, then each Authorized Recipient shall be paid the percentage of the Net Settlement Fund that each Authorized Recipient’s Recognized Claim bears to the total of the Recognized Claims of all Authorized Recipients – i.e., the Authorized Recipient’s pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. In no case shall the Plan of Allocation result in the payment of more than 100% of a Damages Class Member’s alleged damages (inclusive of alleged interest), as calculated by G. William Brown, Jr. in his expert report dated June 30, 2017 (the “Calculated Damages”). To the extent the Plan of Allocation would result in the payment of more than 100% of a Damages Class Member’s Calculated Damages, any amount in excess of 100% of the Calculated Damages (the “Excess Amount”) shall be reallocated to other Authorized Recipients. To the extent all Authorized Recipients have received 100% of their Calculated Damages, any Excess Amount shall be contributed to a nonsectarian charitable organization selected by the Court upon application by the Parties. A. Calculation of Recognized Claims Individuals and entities are potentially eligible to participate in the Settlement and the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund if they received cash distributions from the Depositary-sponsored ADRs listed in Appendix 1 to the Notice from January 1, 2006 to September 4, 2018, inclusive, and were damaged thereby. A “Recognized Loss Amount Per ADR Per Year” will be calculated according to the formula set forth below for each eligible ADR a Damages Class Member held during the relevant time period and for which they received a dividend and/or cash distribution. A Damages Class Member’s “Recognized Claim” shall be the sum of his, her or its Recognized Loss Amounts Per ADR Per Year. The formula for calculating a Damages Class Member’s Recognized Loss Amount Per ADR Per Year shall be as follows: Gross Amount of Dividends and Cash Calculated Average Margin for Distributions Received by the ADR (“Margin”) Per Year set X Damages Class Member for that forth in Table 1 below ADR Per Year 14 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 25 of 35 TABLE 1 Average Margin Per Year 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 ABB Ltd. .30% .88% .16% .32% .25% .45% .44% .36% 0% .14% .19% .30% .30% (CUSIP: 000375204) Advanced Semiconductor 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% Engineering, Inc.

Distribution to Authorized Recipients Prior to the Effective Date, the Settlement Fund shall remain in an interest-bearing escrow account, except as otherwise provided in the Stipulation. After the Court enters the Order and Final Judgment and the Settlement becomes Final, the Claims Administrator shall distribute the Net Settlement Fund, which shall be done as promptly as possible pursuant to the Class Distribution Order. The Class Distribution Order shall not authorize payments to Authorized Recipients prior to the Effective Date. C. Additional Provisions As noted above, the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to Authorized Recipients on a pro rata basis based on the relative size of their Recognized Claims. Specifically, a “Distribution Amount” will be calculated for each Authorized Recipient, which shall be the Authorized Recipient’s Recognized Claim divided by the total Recognized Claims of all Authorized Recipients, multiplied by the total amount in the Net Settlement Fund. If an Authorized Recipient’s Distribution Amount calculates to less than $1.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to such Authorized Recipient. After the initial distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, the Claims Administrator shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to have Authorized Recipients cash their distribution checks. To the extent any monies remain in the fund nine (9) months after the initial distribution, if Lead Counsel, in consultation with the Claims Administrator, determines that it is cost- effective to do so, the Claims Administrator shall conduct a re-distribution of the funds remaining after payment of any unpaid fees and expenses incurred in administering the Settlement, including for such re-distribution, to Authorized Recipients who have cashed their initial distributions and who would receive at least $1.00 from such re-distribution. Additional re-distributions to Authorized Recipients who have cashed their prior checks and who would receive at least $1.00 on such additional re-distributions may occur thereafter if Lead Counsel, in consultation with the Claims Administrator, determines that additional re-distributions, after the deduction of any additional fees and expenses incurred in administering the Settlement, including for such re-distributions, would be cost-effective. At such time as it is determined that the re- distribution of funds remaining in the Net Settlement Fund is not cost-effective, Lead Counsel shall seek an order from the Court: (i) approving the recommendation that any further re-distribution is not cost effective or efficient and (ii) ordering the contribution of the Net Settlement Fund to a nonsectarian charitable organization selected by Plaintiffs and approved by the Court. Payment pursuant to the Plan of Allocation, or such other plan of allocation as may be approved by the Court, shall be conclusive against all Authorized Recipients. No Person shall have any claim against Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs’ counsel, Plaintiffs’ damages expert, Defendant, Defendant’s Counsel, or any of the other Plaintiff Released Parties or Defendant Released Parties, or the Claims Administrator or other agent designated by Lead Counsel arising from distributions made substantially in accordance with the Stipulation, the plan of allocation approved by the Court, or further Orders of the Court. Plaintiffs, Defendant, and their respective counsel, and all other Defendant Released Parties, shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the investment or distribution of the Settlement Fund or the Net Settlement Fund; the plan of allocation; the determination, administration, calculation, or payment of any Claim or nonperformance of the Claims Administrator; the payment or withholding of Taxes and Tax Expenses or any losses incurred in connection therewith. 16 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 27 of 35 Exhibit C Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-1 Filed 05/24/19 Page 28 of 35 Citibank ADR Settlement c/o KCC Class Action Services P.O.

CITIGROUP, INC., CITIBANK, N.A., and CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., Defendants. DECLARATION OF JEANNE C. FINEGAN, APR CONCERNING IMPLEMENTATION OF NOTICE TO CLASS MEMBERS THROUGH MULTI-MEDIA NOTICE PROGRAM INTRODUCTION 1. I am President and Chief Media Officer of HF Media, LLC ("HF Media"), a division of Heffler Claims Group LLC ("Heffler"). This Declaration is based upon my personal knowledge as well as information provided to me by my associates and staff, including information reasonably relied upon in the fields of advertising media and communications. 2. Pursuant to the Order Approving Modifications to Notice Plan and Schedule for Approval of Settlement ("Notice Modification Order"), ECF No. 145 dated February 14, 2019, p. 3, my firm, HF Media, was retained by Lead Counsel to supervise and administer the multi-media notice Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 3 of 158 program in connection with the Settlement ("Multi-Media Notice Program"). 1 3. I submit this Declaration in order to provide the Court and the Parties to the Litigation a report regarding the successful implementation of the Multi-Media Notice Program, i.e., the portion of the Court-approved notice program for the Settlement conducted via print, online and social media, as well as the overall reach as it relates specifically to the Multi-Media Notice Program. 4. As described more fully below, the Multi-Media Notice Program was successfully and timely implemented. 5. In compliance with the Court's Notice Modification Order, the Multi-Media Notice Program commenced on February 22, 2019 and was substantially completed by May 17, 2019. The Multi-Media Notice Program consisted of notice via direct mail to Registered Holder Damages Class Members and media, including print, highly targeted Internet banner ads and social media. The Multi-Media Notice Program, as implemented, indeed, exceeded our original projections and reached: 1) 94% of stock owners over the age of 35 with a household income ("HHI") of $150k+ (with an average frequency of 10.7 times); 2) 90% of stock owners over the age of35 with a HHI of$100k+ (with an average frequency of 6.4 times); and 3) 84% of stock owners, regardless of age or income (with an average frequency of 5.8 times).2 6. Importantly, the successful implementation of the Multi-Media Notice Program is underscored by Class Member response, where as of May 24, 2019, a total of 69,527 users have visited the Settlement websites with over 77,476 sessions and over 121,146 page views.3 1 All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set fo11h in the Notice Morlificcition Order. 2 As set fo11h in my Declaration previously filed with the Court on January 31, 2019 (ECF No. 155-2), I estimated that: ( 1) 91 percent of stock owners over 3 5 with a HHI of$ l 50k+ would be reached, on average, 6 times; (2) 87% of stock owners over 35 with a HHI of$100k+ would be reached, on average, 4.2 times; and (3) 83% of stock owners, regardless of age or income, would be reached, on average, 4 times. 3 Thi~ u~er ~tafotic, prnviJi;;J Lu 11tl: by Kurl/.11rwr Cm:,ou Consultants LLC ("KCC"), includes 011ly Cltl users on the www.adrfxscttlcmcnt.com landing page and users who specifically typed i,, tlr~ www.citibankadrsettlement.com website address prominently displayed in the Summary Notice published in magazines and newspapers. 2 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 4 of 158 QUALIFICATIONS 7. A comprehensive description of my credentials and experience that qualify me to provide an expert opinion on the adequacy of the class action notice program in this matter was included in my Declaration previously filed with this Court on January 31, 20l9. ECF No. 155-2. In summary, I have served as an expert directly responsible for the design and implementation of hundreds of class action notice programs, including Federal Trade Commission Enforcement actions, some of which are the largest and most complex programs ever implemented in both the United States and in Canada. 8. I was extensively involved as a lead author for "Guidelines and Best Practices Implementing 2018 Amendments to Rule 23 Class Action Settlement Provisions" published by Duke University School of Law. Also, I am a member of the Board of Directors for the Alliance for Audited Media. 9. My work includes a wide range of class actions and regulatory and consumer matters, including product liability, construction defect, antitrust, asbestos, medical, pharmaceutical, human rights, civil rights, telecommunications, media, environmental, securities, banking, insurance and bankruptcy. 10. Additionally, I have been at the forefront of modern notice, including plain language as noted in a RAND study4, and importantly, I was the first notice expert to integrate digital media and social media into court-approved legal notice programs. My recent work includes: • Chapman v. Tristar Products, Case No. l:16-cv-1114, JSG (N.D. Ohio 2018); • Cook et. al v. Rockwell International Corp. and the Dow Chemical Co., Case No. l 4- md-02562-R WS (E.D. Mo. 2016); and • In re: TracFone Unlimited Service Plan Litigation, Case No. C-13-3440 EMC (N.D. Cal. 2015). 11. In evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of my notice programs, courts have repeatedly recognized my work as an expert. For example, in: Carter v Forjas Taurus S.S., Taurus International Manufacturing, Inc., Case No. 1: 13- CV-24583 PAS (S.D. Fla. 2016), the Honorable Patricia Seitz, in her Final Order and 4 Deborah R. Hensler et al., CLASS ACTION DILEMMAS, PURSUING PUBLIC GOALS FOR PRIVATE GAIN. RAND (2000). 3 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 5 of 158 Judgment Granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement, dated July 22, 2016, stated: "The Court considered the extensive experience of Jeanne C. Finegan and the notice program she developed. ... There is no national firearms registry and Taurus sale records do not provide names and addresses ofthe ultimate purchasers ... Thus the form and method used for notifying Class Members of the terms of the Settlement was the best notice practicable . ... The court-approved notice plan used peer-accepted national research to identify the optimal traditional, online, mobile and social media platforms to reach the Settlement Class Members. " Additionally, in the January 20, 2016, Transcript of Class Notice Hearing, p. 5, Judge Seitz stated: "I would like to compliment Ms. Finegan and her company because I was quite impressed with the scope and the effort of communicating with the Class. " 12. In In Re: Blue Buffalo Company, Ltd., Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, Case No. 4:14-MD-2562 RWS (E.D. Mo. 2015), the Honorable Rodney Sippel, during the hearing for final approval of the settlement (Hearing for Final Approval, May 19, 2016 transcript p. 49), said: "It is my finding that notice was sufficiently provided to class members in the manner directed in my preliminary approval order and that notice met all applicable requirements of due process and any other applicable law and considerations. " 13. A comprehensive description of my credentials is attached as Exhibit A. NOTICE PROGRAM SUMMARY 14. In compliance with the Court's Preliminary Approval Order and Notice Modification Order, the notice program for this matter included the following components: • Direct Mail via Postcard Notice to all Registered Holder Damages Class Members listed in the records of Citi' s transfer agent; • Publication of a short form notice (the "Publication Notice" or "Summary Notice") in seven (7) general circulation consumer magazines; • Publication of the Publication Notice two (2) tunes in three (J) nationally circulated ut.:w'.'.lpupt.:rs; • Banner ads in specialty investment e-newsletters; 4 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 6 of 158 • Online and cross-device display banner advertising specifically targeted to Class Members over an 82-day period; a.

Attached as Exhibit Dare copies of the hanner ads published in thee-newsletters. MEDIA OUTREACH - INTERNET 33. Internet advertising was a particularly helpful method of providing notice in this case, given that according to MRI, nearly 98 percent of the target audience is online. 34. In total, over 212 million validated online impressions were served across a whitelist8 of approximately 4,000 pre-vetted websites, multiple exchanges, and the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin. We also used retargeting9 to provide additional reminders for those who expressed interest in the ads. 35. Our media outreach included banner ads on local Business Journal websites and The Wall Street Journal online, as well as top-tier national news and local news websites. Online banner ads were served across multiple devices including desktop, tablet and mobile devices. 36. Additionally, we served banner ads via WIFI/IP address targeting to a potential Class Member list consisting of 1,543,188 unique address records provided to us by KCC. These address records were provided to KCC by nominees in response to the nominee outreach conducted by KCC early in the notice program. 37. The WIFI/IP address targeting was done by mapping the physical addresses provided to the WIFI/IP address( es) in use at that physical location. If a target location's WIFI/IP address was available, that was considered a "match." Here, we matched 85.7% of the physical addresses received from nominees to WIFI/IP addresses. The same list of physical addresses was uploaded 7 HF Media planned to run eleven insertions in Investor's Business Daily Market Prep. Due to publisher error, two insertions were missed. However, HF Media negotiated a make-good on the error which resulted in an additional IO bonus insertions at no extra charge. 8 A whitelist is a custom list of acceptable websites where ad content may be served. Creating a whitelist helps lo mitigate ad fraud, ensure ads will be served in relevant digital environments to the target audience and helps to ensure tfo1t ;:irls will not appear next to offensive or objectionable content. 9 Retargeting is an online reminder ad. Herc, HF Media served additional ads to people on Facebuuk and lnstagram who engaged with our ads, either by clicking or commenting on them. 8 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 10 of 158 into Facebook's custom audience tool, allowing us to directly target and serve ads to a Facebook user when they have a Facebook or Instagram account where their address is publicly available. 38. The online banner ads utilized in the media outreach provided information for visitors to self-identify as potential Class Members, allowing them to "click" on the banner ad and link directly to the "landing page" website (www.ADRFXSettlement.com), with a further link to the Settlement Website for more detailed information regarding the Settlement, important dates and deadlines, downloadable copies of the long-form Notice, Claim Form and other relevant documents, and the ability to submit a Claim Form online. 39. To further enhance the Multi-Media Notice Program, HF Media employed Google AdWords keyword search terms. Accordingly, when identified target phrases and keywords were used in a search on Google's search engine, a link to the Settlement website appeared on the search result page. Representative key terms included, but were not limited to: Citi ADR Settlement, ADR Settlement and ADR class action, among others. 40. Attached as Exhibit E are examples of the banner ads. SOCIAL MEDIA 41. The Multi-Media Notice Program also included the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Linkedln. On Facebook and Instagram, targeting included those who liked or followed investment pages such as Motley Fool, Investing.com, MarketWatch, Morning Star, Seeking Alpha, The Street, the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, Financial Times and others in addition to the potential Class Member matching described above. On Linkedln, targeting included individuals who are in top management positions in companies with 51 or more employees. 42. Attached as Exhibit F are copies of the social media ads. PRESS RELEASE 43. The Publication Notice was also issued across PR Newswire's USl Newslines with additional targeting to finance influencers on February 22, 2019. My staff and I monitored various media channels for subsequent news articles that mentioned our press release and identified 157 various media pick-ups. 44. Attached as Exhibit G is a copy of the pick-up report. 9 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 11 of 158 SETTLEMENT WEBSITE AND TOLL-FREE INFORMATION LINE 45. The Court-authorized Claims Administrator, KCC, maintains the Settlement Website. The Settlement Website is an important componenl of Lhe no lice program for the Settlement as it allows potential Class Members to get information about the Settlement, obtain a copy of the detailed long-form Notice, and/or submit a Claim Form. 46. I am informed by the Claims Administrator that the Settlement Website was optimized for mobile visitors so that information loads on their mobile device quickly. The Settlement Website address was prominently displayed in the Publication Notices, as well as the Postcard Notices mailed to Registered Holder Damages Class Members. KCC has informed me that, as of May 24, 2019, a total of 69,527 users visited the Settlement websites with over 77,476 sessions and over 121, 146 page views. 47. I am also informed by KCC that, as of May 24, 2019, the IVR has received a total of 5,692 calls. CONCLUSION 48. Evidence for the successful response of this notice program is found in the visitor traffic to the websites and to the call center. In my opinion, the robust outreach efforts described above reflect a particularly appropriate, highly targeted and contemporary way to employ notice to the Class in this matter, and in particular, the Non-Registered Holder Damages Class Members and Current Holder Class Members who did not receive direct mailed notice. Importantly, these outreach efforts are consistent with the flexibility of notice provided in Rule 23. 49. Through the Multi-Media Notice Program detailed above, an estimated 94 percent of targeted Class Members were reached, on average, 10.7 times. In my experience, this is an excellent result. 50. Moreover, in my opinion, the efforts used in this Multi-Media Notice Program were of the highest modern communication standards, embraced by FRCP Rule 23, and were reasonably calculated to provide notice that is not only consistent, but exceeds best practicable court approved notice programs in similar matters which are consistent with the Federal Judicial Center's g,uidclim::, cu11ccrni11g appropriate reach . .', l. l declare under the penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, that 10 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 12 of 158 the foregoing is true and correct.

View in web brnwset·, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. MARKETS It's Fed day. I'm Jessica Menton, breaking down today's trading ahead of the central bank's policy decision. The earnings calendar is thin. Investors are keeping a close eye on the latest oil-inventories report, due later this morning. Stocks have been trading in a narrow rang~ leading up to the Fed's statement this afternoon, which will also include economic projections and a press conference by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Ahead of the release, I look at how recent mixed data on the U.S. economy has sent conflicting signals lo inveslors.

Oct fei1'l9 The Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates steady at the conclusion of Wednesday's meeting, but analysts are worried that some investors are banking on a long-term dovish policy stance from the central bank. Federal-funds futures, used to place bets on the course of central bank policy, showed 25% of investors on Tuesday expected a Fed rate cut this year, while no investors predict a rate increase, according to data from CME Group. Rel'.enl mixed data on the health of the U.S. economy has senl conflicting signals to investors. Hiring unexpectedly slowed sharplx in February and manufacturing activity has cased. Investors are also grappling with political uncertainties over the U.S.-China trade spat and Brexit. In a Page 3 of 9 Case 1:15-cv-09185-CM-KNF Document 154-2 Filed 05/24/19 Page 70 of 158 shutdown and fourth-quarter earnings season was largely better than feared. "The Fed's most difficult task will be to remain dovish while not being so dovish where it raises concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy," Andrew Acheson, director of U.S. growth at Amundi Pioneer. "A surprise is unlikely, but with a press conference, a verbal mistake from [Fed Chair] Powell is the biggest risk as opposed to an actual change in policy." There are two things smne analysts and econo1nists say could push central bankers to change their tune on standing pat: a pickup in inflation or a sudden downturn in U.S. economic growth. A dent in optimism about the economy has been one of the reasons Treasury yields have come down from their November highs. Expectations for dovish policy have pushed the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note lower this year. The yield settled Tuesdax at 2.614%, compared with 2.605% Monday. That is well below November's seven-year high of 3.232%. Yields fall when bond prices rise. Another key issue for investors: the Fed's balance-sheet runoff. Investors are looking for more details on how the central bank plans to end shrinking its $4 trillion asset portfolio, which it began unwinding in October 2017. If the Fed hints that the runoff will go beyond this fall, stocks will likely take a hit in the short term, according to Bryce Doty, senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Sit Fixed Income Advisors. "Investors expect a plan that shows the Fed is going to stop reducing its balance sheet sometime this year," Mr. Doty said. If a runoff drags on, "stock investors are going to be disappointed," he said. Do you think the Fed will cut rates this year? Let the author know your thoughts atjessica.menton@w,~j.com.

Forward Sign UR Here Market Facts The S&P 500 has returned an average of 0.02% over the past five years on Fed decision days, little changed when compared with a return of 0.03% on non-Fed days, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Of the 11,021 ratings on stocks in the S&P 500 ahead of first-quarter earnings season, 54% are buy ratings, 40% are hold ratings and 6% are sell ratings, according to FactSet. The energy (67%), health-care (60%) and communication-services (59%) sectors have the highest percentage of buy ratings, the data showed. Meanwhile, the consumer-staples sector has the highest percentage of hold ratings (50%) and sell ratings (11%). On this day in 1929, the most notorious "pool," or stock manipulation of the 1920s, hit its peak as RCA rose to a new high of $115, or 73 times earnings and 17 times book value. RCA-the dot-com stock of its time-was being bought (and sold short) by such respectable figures as auto maker Walter Chrysler, General Motors executive John J. Raskob and Percy Rockefeller. They got out at the top while most retail investors suffered losses of up to 77% after the bubble burst in the Great Crash.
