(1)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase

(2)

The Total Consideration includes the early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

The Offers are being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase which sets forth in more detail the terms and conditions of the Offers. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026 (the “Withdrawal Date”) having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (as shown in the table above, with 1 being the highest) will be accepted for purchase before any tendered Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 3 being the lowest). Because the aggregate principal amount of validly tendered Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 3 would cause the amended Waterfall Cap to be exceeded, such Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis up to the amended Waterfall Cap, using a proration factor of approximately 19.7% ($146,852,000 aggregate principal amount to be accepted). All Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 3 not accepted for purchase as a result of proration will be rejected from the Offers and returned to the tendering holder.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders of Notes who validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2026 (the “Early Tender Date”) and did not validly withdraw their Notes before the Withdrawal Date and whose Notes were accepted for purchase shall be entitled to receive the total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes calculated in the manner set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Total Consideration”). The Reference Yields listed in the table above were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2026 (the “Reference Yield Determination Date”). The Total Consideration includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”).

CGMI’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in CGMI’s discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.

Payment for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Date is expected to be May 11, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Withdrawal Date for the Offers has now passed. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by CGMI).

Although the Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), because holders of Notes subject to the Offers validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes before the Withdrawal Date for which the aggregate principal amounts exceeded the amended Waterfall Cap, holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation has been retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the Notes.

For additional information regarding the terms of the Offers, please contact CGMI at either (800) 558-3745 (toll free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect). Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase and questions regarding the tender of Notes may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (855) 654-2014 (toll free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).

None of CGMI, CGMI’s board of directors, Citigroup, Citigroup’s board of directors, the depositary or the information agent makes any recommendation as to whether any holder of the Notes should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the Notes, and is not a solicitation for acceptance of any of the Offers. CGMI is making the Offers only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase. The Offers are not being made to (nor will tenders of Notes be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase.
