As the UK prepares to withdraw from the European Union (“EU”), I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the changes we are proposing to ensure our tailored international wealth service continues to meet your goals and aspirations. What’s changing? Currently, Citi International Personal Bank is run through Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch, headquartered in Ireland. We now intend to establish a new UK Bank, headquartered in London, and transfer our Citi International Personal Bank business to this new UK Bank (known as the “Proposed Transfer”), which is called“Citibank UK Limited”. When and how will this happen? We have already applied to the UK regulators for permission to set up the new Bank and, early next year, will ask the Court to approve the Proposed Transfer. If the UK Regulators authorise the new Bank and the Court approves the Proposed Transfer, we plan to transfer Citi International Personal Bank to our new UK Bank in March 2019, at which point it will be fully operational. What this means for you If the Proposed Transfer is approved, all of your accounts, investments and services currently held with Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch will be provided by our new UK Bank. At present, we do not expect this process to have any material impact on you and we expect your existing accounts and terms and conditions with Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch to transfer automatically to our new UK Bank. For now, it is our intention that your existing accounts and terms and conditions with Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch will transfer to our new UK Bank automatically. I look forward to keeping you fully informed of our progress, and to welcoming you to our new UK Bank in March 2019. It is an important milestone for our Citi International Personal Bank business in London, and we are dedicated to continue serving you through these changing times.
