Information Only / Not an Offer or a Recommendation
The information contained in the Content of the Website is provided solely for information purposes with respect to the indices discussed in the Website (each an "Index") and nothing in the Website constitutes (a) a recommendation, an offer or a solicitation to deal in any financial product, enter into any transaction or adopt any investment strategy or (b) legal, tax, regulatory, financial or accounting advice. If you are in any doubt about the Content of the Website, you should obtain independent professional advice.
No Representations or Warranties
Neither CGML (the "Index Sponsor" and which may also referred to as the "Index Administrator" in the Content), the entity named as acting as calculation agent for any Index (each an "Index Calculation Agent"), any other member of Citi nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, delegates or agents (together with the Index Sponsor, each Index Calculation Agent and each member of Citi, each a "Relevant Person") makes any express or implied representations or warranties as to (i) the advisability of purchasing or entering into any financial product the performance of which is linked, in whole or in part, to any Index (an "Index Linked Product"), (ii) the levels of any Index at any particular time on any particular date, (iii) the results to be obtained by the issuer of, counterparty to or any investor in any Index Linked Product or any other person or entity, from the use of any Index or any data included therein for any purpose, (iv) the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of any Index, or (v) any other matter.
Index Conditions and Risk Factors
Each Index is described in full in the applicable Index Conditions which are available on this Website or upon request from the Index Sponsor. This Website also contains a description of each Index and related risk factors as well as summary information about each Index. You should carefully consider the information on this website concerning an Index before investing in any Index Linked Product (in addition to the information contained in the associated prospectus, offering or other legal document relating to the relevant Index Linked Product).
No Index is in any way sponsored, endorsed or promoted by the issuer or sponsor, as applicable, of any of its constituents.
The Content (including without limitation text, graphics, links, models, financial information or other items) is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Each Relevant Person makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Content and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expressly disclaims any implied, express or statutory representations and warranties of any kind with respect thereto, including but not limited to, warranties as to accuracy, adequacy, timeliness, availability, currentness, reliability, completeness, non-infringement of third party rights, title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and freedom from computer virus.
Limitation of Liability
Each Relevant Person hereby expressly disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any Index. No Relevant Person shall have any liability (direct or indirect, special, punitive, consequential or otherwise) to any person even if notified of the possibility of damages, provided that this exclusion of liability shall not exclude or limit liability under any law or regulation which may not be excluded or restricted.
Neither the Index Sponsor nor any Index Calculation Agent is under any obligation to continue the calculation, publication and dissemination of any Index nor shall they have any liability for any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays relating to any Index.
No Agency or Fiduciary Relationship
The Index Sponsor and each Index Calculation Agent shall each act as principal and not as agent or fiduciary of any other person.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
During the normal course of its business, any Relevant Person may enter into or promote, offer or sell transactions or investments (structured or otherwise) linked to any Index and/or any of its constituents. In addition, any Relevant Person may have, or may have had, long or short principal positions and/or actively trade, by making markets to its clients, positions in or relating to any Index or any of its constituents, or may invest or engage in transactions with other persons, or on behalf of such persons relating to any of these items. Relevant Persons may also undertake hedging transactions related to the initiation or termination of financial products or transactions, which may adversely affect the market price, rate or other market factor(s) underlying any constituents or any Index. Relevant Persons may have an investment banking or other commercial relationship with and access to information from the issuer(s) of constituents. Such activity may or may not have an impact on the level of any Index but potential investors and counterparties should be aware that a conflict of interest could arise where anyone is acting in more than one capacity, and such conflict may have an impact (either positive or negative) on the level of any Index.
Notional Exposures
Each Index reflects the performance of notional investment positions in its constituents. There is no actual portfolio of assets to which any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership interest. Each Index merely identifies certain hypothetical investment positions, the performance of which will be used as a reference point for the purpose of calculating the level of the relevant Index.

Any numbers or figures presented as past performance in the Content of the Website may include performances calculated from back-testing simulations. Any back-testing information provided in the Content of the Website is illustrative only and derived from proprietary models based on certain historic data and assumptions and estimates.
