On January 31, 2025, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) elected Titilope Cole as a director of Citigroup. Ms. Cole is the former Head of Legacy Franchises of Citigroup.

CITI BOARD ELECTS TITI COLE TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
New York, NY – Citi’s Board of Directors announced today that it has elected Titi Cole as a new Director, with service commencing January 31, 2025. A Citi alumna, Ms. Cole joined Citi in 2020 as the Head of Operations for Global Consumer Banking, before serving as Head of Legacy Franchises. The Board determined to elect Ms. Cole in anticipation of Barbara Desoer’s not standing for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, in accordance with Citi’s corporate governance guidelines which provide that a director shall not stand for election at the annual meeting following their 72nd birthday.
Citi Chair John C. Dugan said, “We’re pleased to welcome Titi to Citi’s Board of Directors. Having spent three decades in financial services, Titi has vast experience in this sector and a strong track record of delivering results. As Head of Legacy Franchises at Citi, Titi led a major part of Citi’s strategic simplification through our international consumer divestitures. Her deep knowledge of our firm will be a valuable asset to the Board.
“While Barbara continues to serve on the Board until the Annual Meeting, I’d like to offer the Board’s deep gratitude to her given the numerous contributions she’s made to this firm as both a leader and board member. Barbara joined the Board upon retiring as the CEO of Citibank, N.A., and brought with her extensive experience and expertise. Her leadership has been invaluable to Citi,” Mr. Dugan concluded.
