This Amendment impacts the Broker-Dealer Operator, affiliates of the Broker-Dealer Operator, and Subscribers.

order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. A Firm-up Order generated by a CO must be submitted with a limit or peg and limit condition that is the same or better than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO. If a Participant submits a Firm-up Order with a limit or peg and limit condition that is worse than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO, the Firm-up Order will be rejected. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. A Firm-up Order generated by a CO must be submitted with a limit or peg and limit condition that is the same or better than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO. If a Participant submits a Firm-up Order with a limit or peg and limit condition that is worse than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO, the Firm-up Order will be rejected. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at one second after the MOC Cut-off Time as defined in Part III, Item 4, and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time; it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (one second after the MOC Cut-off Time), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.

Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has four (4) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; Market on Close ("MOC") Orders; and Trajectory Cross Conditional Orders ("TCCOs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders. MOC Orders and TCCOs may only be submitted by Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates--not Direct Subscribers. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders or TCCOs. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders or TCCOs. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. Citi-ONE only accepts MOC Orders from Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates. MOC Orders are prioritized by CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders, COs, or TCCOs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at one second after the MOC Cut-off Time as defined in Part III, Item 4, and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. TCCOs are messages indicating trading interest to participate in the Trajectory Cross Session on Citi-ONE and are not subject to auto-execution. The Trajectory Cross Session facilitates crossing of TCCOs at a volume-weighted average price (VWAP), as determined by reference to "qualified" executions reported on the Securities Information Processors (SIPs), over a specific duration. "Qualified" executions are round lot and mixed lot executions except those described in Part III, Item 23. Citi-ONE only accepts TCCOs from Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates. TCCOs are prioritized by Match Marketability (a combination of price and quantity, as described further in Part III, Item 11) | CGMI Capacity | Time. TCCOs do not interact with FRS Orders, COs, or MOC Orders. In the event of a potential match of a TCCO with a contra-side TCCO, Firm-up Requests will be sent to both contra-parties in the potential match (i.e., CGMI on behalf of the relevant Indirect Subscriber, CGMI Business Unit, or CGMI Affiliate), requesting that they send Firm-up Orders. Additional detail about handling of TCCOs, including their associated Firm-up Orders, is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. For TCCOs, the "block" vs. "slice" instruction (defined in Part III, Item 9) also cannot be modified. Only one time in force ("TIF") (DAY) and one price condition (limit) are permissible for TCCOs so those fields also cannot be changed either through modification or cancel/replace. Updates to any of the following order attributes--to the extent applicable to the relevant order class--will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, TIF, an increase in quantity, a change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction), or for TCCOs, a change in minimum or maximum duration (as discussed further in Part III, Item 9). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. TCCOs may only be limit orders. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order, CO (including any associated Firm-up Order), or TCCO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, TCCO, or CO or TCCO Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs, MOC Orders, or TCCOs. If COs, MOC Orders, or TCCOs are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders; TCCO orders may only be submitted as limit orders with no peg conditions. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. TCCOs will be matched if they have overlapping limit prices but will be executed at a VWAP price as described further in Part III, Item 9. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order, CO, or TCCO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order, CO, or TCCO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR TCCOs As described further in Part III, Item 9, TCCOs and their associated Firm-up Orders must be submitted with a TIF of DAY. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time; it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than On Close; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (one second after the MOC Cut-off Time), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The reasons why TCCOs may be rejected or cancelled are set forth primarily in Part III, Item 9, and include but are not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including TCCOs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at one second after the MOC Cut-off Time as defined in Part III, Item 4, and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time; it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (one second after the MOC Cut-off Time), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing orders may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.
order_types
i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, side, and order class attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price, minimum executable quantity, time in force ("TIF"), peg condition, or an increase in quantity, change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted with the order type of market and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. A Firm-up Order generated by a CO must be submitted with a limit or peg and limit condition that is the same or better than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO. If a Participant submits a Firm-up Order with a limit or peg and limit condition that is worse than the limit or peg and limit condition of the underlying CO, the Firm-up Order will be rejected. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with no peg condition. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the peg condition of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.

i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag. This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE

CitiBLOC only accepts conditional orders ("COs") marked as either limit or midpoint peg with a limit and subsequent "Firmed-up Orders" (the message to firm-up a CO submitted in response to an Invitation to Firm-Up with respect to such CO). CitiBLOC will cross COs on opposite sides of the market in the same NMS Stock (e.g. cross a buy CO with a sell CO) based first on Rank and then on Time in priority (see Part III, Item 13). When multiple COs are attributed with equal Rank, the Time that the CitiBLOC crossing platform received such COs will determine priority among such COs. Modification to an existing CO at CitiBLOC will generate a new timestamp for the modified CO, and therefore the modified CO will lose Time priority to other COs that have been attributed with equal Rank and placed at CitiBLOC prior to the timestamp generated for the modified CO. When determining the priority in which COs are sent Invitations to Firm-Up, CitiBLOC does not consider whether a CO represents a principal interest of CGMI, an order of a Client of CGMI sent through the CGMI Algorithms, or a principal interest of an Affiliate, unless a Subscriber marked the CO with "Do Not Cross Principal." COs that cross on CitiBLOC must be firmed up before an execution can occur. CitiBLOC does not aggregate multiple COs to satisfy the minimum fill quantity, whether such minimum fill quantity is the minimum fill quantity default of 5,000 shares or $100,000 USD notional value or another greater minimum fill quantity specified by the Subscriber. Invitations to Firm-up are sent to a single Potential Buyer and a single Potential Seller for each crossing opportunity (see Part III, Item 15). Only the Firmed-up Order submitted by such Potential Buyer in response to such Invitation to Firm-up and the Firmed-up Order submitted by such Potential Seller in response to such Invitation to Firm-up are executable against each other. In the event that a portion of the quantity of a Firmed-up Order remains unexecuted, such unexecuted quantity of the Firmed-up Order will be cancelled back to the originating Subscriber, leaving no remaining quantity of the Firmed-up Order outstanding in CitiBLOC. Execution for any unexecuted quantity of the Firmed-up Order requires submitting a new CO for the unexecuted quantity. CitiBLOC accepts COs submitted via the FIX protocol. CitiBLOC accepts only COs marked as either limit or midpoint peg with a limit. CitiBLOC does not accept any other peg order type, including market or primary peg. COs submitted without a limit price will be rejected. CitiBLOC also accepts Firmed-up Orders submitted in response to Invitations to Firm-up for COs that cross on CitiBLOC. COs that cross on CitiBLOC must be firmed up before an execution can occur. Only Firmed-up Orders submitted in response to Invitations to Firm-up for crossing COs are eligible for execution on CitiBLOC. Where there are COs on each side of the market with matching NMS Stocks, matching or overlapping limits and qualifying minimum fill size, an Invitation to Firm-up is sent to a single Potential Buyer and an Invitation to Firm-up is sent to a single Potential Seller for such crossing opportunity. CitiBLOC does not aggregate multiple COs to satisfy minimum fill quantity, whether such minimum fill quantity is the minimum fill quantity default of 5,000 shares or $100,000 USD notional value or another greater minimum fill quantity specified by the Subscriber. In circumstances where there are multiple Competing COs on one side of market that can cross potentially with a CO on the other side of the market, an Invitation to Firm-up is sent to (i) the single Competing CO with the highest priority of all the Competing COs on that side of the market (e.g. the Competing CO attributed with the highest Rank, or if there are multiple Competing COs attributed with the highest Rank, the Competing CO with the earliest Time of all the Competing COs attributed with the highest Rank) and (ii) the single CO on the other side of the market. A maximum of two seconds is allowed to respond to the Invitation to Firm-up by submitting a Firmed-up Order. If both the Potential Buyer and the Potential Seller respond with Firmed-up Orders within the allotted two-second response window, the Firmed-up Orders are executed at the midpoint of the NBBO at the time of execution. In the event that a portion of the quantity of a Firmed-up Order remains unexecuted, the unexecuted quantity will be canceled back to the originating Subscriber, leaving no remaining quantity of the Firmed-up Order outstanding in CitiBLOC. Execution for any unexecuted quantity of the Firmed-up Order requires submitting a new CO for the unexecuted quantity. CitiBLOC does not route COs, display COs or publish Indications of Interest ("IOIs"). CitiBLOC is designed to promote block execution and provide meaningful liquidity to Subscribers. CitiBLOC leverages COs to minimize opportunity cost typically associated with trading blocks of stock. CitiBLOC does not support orders designed or defined as adding or removing liquidity, and therefore, does not offer "post-only" order types. CitiBLOC executes Firmed-up Orders received in response to Invitations to Firm-Up at the midpoint of the NBBO at the time of execution. After a Firmed-up Order is submitted in connection with firming up a CO, an execution may nonetheless not occur for a variety of reasons. Listed below are potential reasons for non-execution: (i) could not cross as minimum quantity was not satisfied, (ii) could not cross as the CO became non-crossable because of market movement, (iii) invitation timed out on opposite side CO, (iv) market is currently locked for Subscribers who have elected the feature to opt-out of executing during locked markets, (v) market is currently crossed (bid is greater than ask or ask is lower than the bid), and (vi) too late to cross with opposite side order ('x' seconds). The 'x' denotes actual value of time delay as observed by CitiBLOC. CitiBLOC logs and reviews the time delay to account for race conditions where the shares represented by the CO were either executed away or cancelled. Execution of any unexecuted quantity of the Firmed-up Order requires submitting a new CO for the unexecuted quantity. CitiBLOC executes during locked markets by default. Subscribers can opt-out of having COs becoming eligible for Invitations to Firm-up for execution during locked markets. CitiBLOC does not execute during crossed markets. CitiBLOC does not route COs to other Trading Centers. CitiBLOC only accepts day orders as a time-in-force. All unexecuted COs will be cancelled at the market close (e.g. 4:00 PM EST) or sooner on abbreviated trading days. CitiBLOC accepts (i) COs marked as either limit or midpoint peg with a limit and (ii) subsequent Firmed-up Orders submitted in response to Invitations to Firm-up for COs that cross on CitiBLOC. Only Firmed-up Orders submitted in response to Invitations to Firm-up for crossing COs are eligible for execution on CitiBLOC. Modifications that can be made to an existing CO are specific to quantity, minimum quantity and limit price. Each modification of an existing CO generates a new timestamp for such CO. CitiBLOC rejects COs for the following reasons: (i) share quantity is greater than the threshold which is defined as the Subscribers' maximum share per order, (ii) notional Value exceeds threshold, (iii) share quantity is greater than Average Daily Volume (ADV) threshold, (iv) Market Access Rule (MAR) notional exposure for Subscriber is 100% or greater, (v) stale Subscriber CO occurs when the CO timestamp from the Subscriber and CO received timestamp by the direct FIX gateway is greater than 30 seconds, (vi) unsupported symbol (e.g. When Issued), (vii) failed to find product occurs when a Subscriber sends invalid information or a symbol is not set up in the product file (IPO, restricted stocks, etc.) or (viii) price required occurs when a limit price is not specified. When responding to an Invitation to Firm-up with a Firmed-up Order, order quantity is the only parameter that can be modified in respect of the corresponding CO. In the event that a portion of the quantity of a Firmed-up Order remains unexecuted, the unexecuted quantity will be canceled back to the originating Subscriber, leaving no remaining quantity of the Firmed-up Order outstanding in CitiBLOC. Execution for any unexecuted quantity of the Firmed-up Order requires submitting a new CO for the unexecuted quantity. COs may be entered into the CitiBLOC direct gateway via FIX (versions 4.2 or 4.4) connectivity or through CGMI's Algorithms. There are no differences in order types across versions FIX 4.2 and FIX 4.4 connectivity or through CGMIs Algorithms.

i. Citi-ONE has three (3) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; and Market on Close ("MOC") Orders. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders from Participants who have opted in to or been enabled for the MOCS are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. MOC Orders are prioritized by Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders or COs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at 3:45 PM ET and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back to Participants. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. Updates to any of the following order attributes will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, maximum quantity, time in force ("TIF"), an increase in quantity, or change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order or CO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, or Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs or MOC Orders. If COs or MOC Orders are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order or CO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order or CO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time (3:44:59 PM ET); it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (3:45 PM ET), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.

i. Citi-ONE has four (4) main classes of orders (each an "Order Class"): Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders; Conditional Orders ("COs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders; Market on Close ("MOC") Orders; and Trajectory Cross Conditional Orders ("TCCOs"), which include associated Firm-up Orders. MOC Orders and TCCOs may only be submitted by Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates--not Direct Subscribers. FRS Orders are auto-executable orders. FRS Orders are prioritized for matching by Order Class | Price | Broker | Inclusion Level | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. See Part III, Item 11. Prioritization by Order Class means that FRS Orders will seek to interact with other FRS Orders before COs, to the extent they are configured to interact with COs, as described further in the next paragraph. FRS Orders do not interact with MOC Orders or TCCOs. COs are messages indicating trading interest and are not subject to auto-execution. COs are prioritized by Order Class | Price | Broker | CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Time. Prioritization by Order Class means that COs will seek to interact with other COs before interacting with FRS Orders that have been configured on an order level to interact with COs ("Eligible FRS Orders"). COs will not interact with FRS Orders that have not been configured to interact with COs. Additional detail about handling of COs is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. COs do not interact with MOC Orders or TCCOs. Upon a Firm-up Request being triggered as a result of a potential match between an Eligible FRS Order and a CO, each order will be "reserved" for no longer than the period of time (500ms) that the Participant representing the CO has to respond to a Firm-up Request (the "Firm-up Period"). If the CO responds with a Firm-up Order within the Firm-up Period, the orders will be matched for the lesser quantity of the Eligible FRS Order quantity or the Firm-up Order. However, if at the time the Firm-up Order arrives, there is one or more higher-ranked FRS Order(s) on the same side of the market as the Eligible FRS Order that initiated the Firm-up Request with the initial CO, the Firm-up Order will first interact with the higher-ranked FRS Order(s) and any remaining quantity may interact with the initial Eligible FRS Order. Such higher-ranked FRS Order(s) may not have interacted with the CO initially because (i) it was not an Eligible FRS Order or (ii) it arrived or was reprioritized after the Firm-up Period started. As further described in Part III, Item 9, the unmatched quantity of a Firm-up Order will be cancelled and the unmatched quantity of an Eligible FRS Order will remain on the order book. MOC Orders are orders designated to participate in the MOCS on Citi-ONE. Citi-ONE only accepts MOC Orders from Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates. MOC Orders are prioritized by CGMI Capacity (only for matches where a CGMI principal order would otherwise match against another CGMI principal order) | Size. MOC Orders do not interact with FRS Orders, COs, or TCCOs. MOC Orders will only match with other MOC Orders at one second after the MOC Cut-off Time as defined in Part III, Item 4, and any unmatched MOC Orders will be cancelled back. MOC Orders matched on Citi-ONE subsequently will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. Additional detail about handling of MOC Orders is included in Part III, Item 11 and Item 17. TCCOs are messages indicating trading interest to participate in the Trajectory Cross Session on Citi-ONE and are not subject to auto-execution. The Trajectory Cross Session facilitates crossing of TCCOs at a volume-weighted average price (VWAP), as determined by reference to "qualified" executions reported on the Securities Information Processors (SIPs), over a specific duration. "Qualified" executions are round lot and mixed lot executions except those described in Part III, Item 23. Citi-ONE only accepts TCCOs from Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates. TCCOs are prioritized by Match Marketability (a combination of price and quantity, as described further in Part III, Item 11) | CGMI Capacity | Time. TCCOs do not interact with FRS Orders, COs, or MOC Orders. In the event of a potential match of a TCCO with a contra-side TCCO, Firm-up Requests will be sent to both contra-parties in the potential match (i.e., CGMI on behalf of the relevant Indirect Subscriber, CGMI Business Unit, or CGMI Affiliate), requesting that they send Firm-up Orders. Additional detail about handling of TCCOs, including their associated Firm-up Orders, is included in Part III, Item 9 and Item 11. The symbol, participant, capacity, side, order class, and peg condition attributes of an existing order in Citi-ONE cannot be updated. For TCCOs, the "block" vs. "slice" instruction (defined in Part III, Item 9) also cannot be modified. Only one time in force ("TIF") (DAY) and one price condition (limit) are permissible for TCCOs so those fields also cannot be changed either through modification or cancel/replace. Updates to any of the following order attributes--to the extent applicable to the relevant order class--will generate a new timestamp (timestamp precision is discussed in Part III, Item 11), and therefore, could cause an order to lose matching priority - price (including the limit price assigned to an order with a peg condition), minimum executable quantity, TIF, an increase in quantity, a change in post-only instruction (either adding or removing the instruction), or for TCCOs, a change in minimum or maximum duration (as discussed further in Part III, Item 9). ii. The price conditions that may be applied to FRS Orders and COs are: (i) limit or (ii) peg condition (primary, midpoint, or market peg) with a limit. An order with a peg condition must have a limit applied. TCCOs may only be limit orders. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders with a TIF of "at the close" and will be priced as determined by the primary listing exchange for the NMS Stock. When an FRS Order, CO (including any associated Firm-up Order), or TCCO (including any associated Firm-up Order) is entered into Citi-ONE, the ATS will use the side and price conditions of the inbound FRS Order, CO, TCCO, or CO or TCCO Firm-up Order to derive an "Assigned Limit Price." The Assigned Limit Price is defined as the highest price for a buy order (lowest for a sell order) at which an order may be matched at or within the National Best Bid and Offer ("NBBO") after applying the price conditions selected by the Participant. An Assigned Limit Price is applied in this manner including when an order is entered into the ATS with (i) a limit price above the NBO for a buy order or below the NBB for a sell order (i.e., an aggressive limit), or (ii) a peg condition including an aggressive limit. Market conditions that can affect the Assigned Limit Price of an order are Price Collars, NBBO, and / or LULD bands. Citi-ONE adjusts the Assigned Limit Price as necessary over the life of an order. These Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an order will not change time priority. For NMS Stocks priced under $1.00, if the Assigned Limit Price of an order would be the midpoint of the NBBO and the midpoint price extends to five decimal places, Citi-ONE will round the Assigned Limit Price to four decimal places as follows: the price of a buy order will be rounded down, and the price of a sell order will be rounded up. Citi-ONE supports five contra-party Inclusion Levels for FRS Orders that add liquidity. Upon order entry, a Participant can denote the Inclusion Level as one of Levels 1 - 5 through a FIX tag (or a Direct Subscriber can contact CGMI to set a default Inclusion Level, as described in Part III, Item 13). This Inclusion Level affects which liquidity-taking orders liquidity-providing FRS Order may interact with, based on the Taker Levels of the liquidity-taking orders. See Part III, Item 13. As described more fully in Part III, Item 15, aggregated information about Participant FRS Orders is provided to CGMI's algos and SOR for use solely in connection with making decisions about where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE and the price conditions and quantity of orders routed to Citi-ONE. iii. FRS Orders with a time-in-force designation of DAY (see below) may be submitted with a "post only" instruction. FRS Orders designated as "post only" are eligible to interact with subsequent contra-side FRS Orders (including Firm-up Orders), or (if configured to be an Eligible FRS Order) COs. As Citi-ONE processes two orders for a potential match, the liquidity-providing order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. In the event an FRS Order marked "post only" is marketable against another FRS Order that is "post only," the two opposing "post-only" orders will not match with each other. Both FRS Orders will be accepted, reside in Citi-ONE and will only match against a subsequently entered contra-side order that is not marked "post only." The "post only" designation does not apply to COs, MOC Orders, or TCCOs. If COs, MOC Orders, or TCCOs are marked "post only," they will be rejected. iv. Regarding order types that adjust their price as changes to the order book occur, Citi-ONE supports three types of peg conditions with respect to FRS Orders and COs (i.e., primary peg, midpoint peg, and market peg), all of which are also required to have limit prices. MOC Orders may only be submitted as market orders; TCCO orders may only be submitted as limit orders with no peg conditions. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will be priced to the near side of the NBBO (i.e., NBB for buy orders, NBO for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a primary peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will be priced to the midpoint of the NBBO and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a midpoint peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will be priced to the far side of the NBBO (i.e., NBO for buy orders, NBB for sell orders) and are subject to price changes upon a change to the NBBO. FRS Orders and COs that include a market peg condition will represent a bid price up to, or offer price down to, a Participant's limit price or an Assigned Limit Price if the Participant's original limit is aggressively priced through the NBBO. The price at which two FRS Orders and/or COs match will depend on the attributes of both the buy order and the sell order involved in the match (i.e., a sell order with a market peg condition may match on the bid, at the midpoint, or at the offer). FRS Orders and COs that include peg conditions in addition to the Participant's limit price will match at the price closest to the midpoint of the NBBO that is compatible with both orders (e.g., taking into consideration whether one or both orders includes a limit governing the matching price). If the Assigned Limit Price of one or both of the matching orders resides at the midpoint, or if both straddle the midpoint, the matching price will be at the midpoint. When the buy and sell order Assigned Limit Prices straddle a five-decimal midpoint price, the matching price will be rounded based on the side of the earlier (resting) order to the nearest four-digit price. TCCOs will be matched if they have overlapping limit prices but will be executed at a VWAP price as described further in Part III, Item 9. Citi-ONE adjustments to the Assigned Limit Price of an FRS Order or CO will not change time priority. This includes FRS Orders or COs with peg conditions that are updated in accordance with an NBBO update. If a Participant amends the limit price of an FRS Order, CO, or TCCO, Citi-ONE will update the Assigned Limit Price as appropriate. This type of update by a Participant would affect the time stamp (and therefore potentially the priority) of the FRS Order, CO, or TCCO. In addition, although a change in the NBBO would not affect the relative priority of FRS Orders or COs that include a peg condition, an NBBO change could affect whether FRS Orders or COs that include peg conditions may become eligible for matching and the price at which those orders are matched. v. Citi-ONE does not route orders to other Trading Centers. See Part III, Item 16. vi. TIF INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE FOR FRS ORDERS Citi-ONE supports DAY and Immediate-or-Cancel ("IOC") time-in-force designations for FRS Orders. An FRS Order with a TIF of DAY will remain in Citi-ONE until it is cancelled, fully executed, or at market close. FRS Orders with a TIF of DAY may be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant; modifications may affect priority (see above). An FRS Order with a TIF of IOC will only attempt to match immediately with resting contra-side FRS Orders. If the IOC order cannot be partially or completely matched immediately, Citi-ONE will cancel the balance of the unmatched quantity of the IOC order. IOC orders may not be modified, replaced, or cancelled by a Participant. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR COs Citi-ONE supports only the DAY TIF designation on COs, including Firm-up Orders. Firm-up Orders must be submitted during the Firm-up Period, which is 500 milliseconds, beginning when the Firm-up Request is sent by Citi-ONE. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR MOC ORDERS Citi-ONE supports only the On Close TIF instruction on MOC Orders. TIF INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE FOR TCCOs As described further in Part III, Item 9, TCCOs and their associated Firm-up Orders must be submitted with a TIF of DAY. vii. Any combinations of FRS Order conditions or attributes described above, with the exception of "post only" together with the "IOC" attribute, are valid (including peg conditions with a TIF of IOC). Participants can change a TIF designation on an FRS Order from DAY to IOC (which would create a new time stamp on the order). However, Participants may not change a TIF from IOC to DAY. In the event that a Participant changes a TIF designation on a FRS Order from DAY to IOC, Citi-ONE will (a) re-evaluate and update the Assigned Limit Price of the order as may be necessary, (b) scan the book for available contra-side interest, treating the order as a liquidity-taking order, and (c) match or cancel the order. An FRS Order must include each of the following key order attributes or it will not be accepted: order type, order capacity, participant, side, symbol, quantity, and price (limit price) (certain other FIX fields are or may be required as provided in detailed specifications provided to Subscribers). Any FIX tag not supported by Citi-ONE, as per the Citi-ONE FIX specification, will be ignored. An FRS Order will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons including incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including FRS Orders, will be cancelled on disconnect ("COD"). COs, including Firm-up Orders, will be rejected or cancelled for various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including COs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. An MOC Order will be rejected or cancelled if: it is submitted after the MOC Cut-off Time; it contains incomplete order instructions; it contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity); it is marked short or short exempt; it is for a symbol that is halted or paused; it includes a TIF other than DAY; or it contains a conditional tag. All orders, including MOC Orders, will be COD. If the disconnect occurs at or after the designated match time for MOC Orders (one second after the MOC Cut-off Time), COD will not apply, even if the Participant has not yet received notice of the execution. The reasons why TCCOs may be rejected or cancelled are set forth primarily in Part III, Item 9, and include but are not limited to incomplete order instructions or if the order message contains an invalid instruction or parameter (e.g., missing side, capacity). All orders, including TCCOs and their Firm-up Orders, will be COD. The Citi-ONE FIX specification, which applies to all Participants' orders and is provided at onboarding, details all cancel and reject reasons for orders. In addition, Citi-ONE accepts new orders, modifications, and cancellations when the market for an NMS Stock is locked or crossed. During the RTS, Citi-ONE will prevent matching in NMS Stocks with an NBBO that is locked or crossed. viii. The order types and attributes noted above are all available on FIX version 4.2 which is the only protocol supported by Citi-ONE.

pricing_methodology
Citi-ONE matches RTS orders using an NBBO constructed by Ocean. Ocean constructs the NBBO using a combination of full network redundant direct market data feeds and market data disseminated by the Securities Information Processors ("SIPs") (the "Constructed NBBO"). Specifically, Citi-ONE uses direct market data feeds for U.S. exchanges with the exception of the Long-Term Stock Exchange. Separately, Citi-ONE uses full network redundant SIP feeds as a secondary source for the Constructed NBBO. The Constructed NBBO is used to price, prioritize, and match RTS orders. The ATS will arbitrate between the two market data feeds, direct and SIP, to the extent available, based on the detection of any market data latency. If there is an issue with the Constructed NBBO, transactions in Citi-ONE during the RTS will be priced solely using the NBBO disseminated by the SIPs. Accordingly, all RTS matches in Citi-ONE are programmed to match at or within the Constructed NBBO or the SIP NBBO. Citi-ONE determines VWAP prices for the Trajectory Cross Session by reference to the SIPs. VWAP calculations exclude odd lot trades and trades with prices unrelated to the current market (e.g., trades priced in an opening auction) or trades with special settlement instructions (e.g., cash trade). Citi-ONE is designed to operate in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations (e.g., Regulation ATS, Regulation NMS, etc.). Citi-ONE uses the SIPs to identify market trading status pertaining to the following regulatory events: Regulation SHO Short Sale Restriction Activated, Regulation SHO Short Sale Restriction Removed, Trading Halted, Quote Only, Resumed Trading, Trading Paused, LULD Circuit Breaker, Volatility Indicator, Market Open and Close events for each symbol.

Item 13 (Part II)
counterparty_selection
Orders can be designated to interact or not interact with certain orders based on the following items: SELF-MATCH PREVENTION This feature allows Participants to prevent their own buy and sell orders from matching with one another. This feature is set at the FIX session level. It is enabled by default for Participants. Direct Subscribers may have this feature disabled during the onboarding process or by contacting the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Indirect Subscribers may have this feature disabled by contacting their Client Coverage representative. Participants can also request that self-match prevention apply to not only the Participant's own buy and sell orders but also to buy and sell orders from the Participant's affiliates. DO NOT CROSS PRINCIPAL Citi-ONE supports a DNCP instruction, which, if selected, prevents orders from matching with the principal orders of CGMI. Direct Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis via FIX tag or can contact the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) to have the DNCP instruction set at the FIX session level. Indirect Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis or they can contact their Client Coverage representative to enable the DNCP instruction on a default basis. If the DNCP instruction is enabled on a FIX session-level or default basis, it will be applied to all orders, i.e., a Subscriber cannot override that selection on an order-by-order basis. If the DNCP instruction is not enabled on a FIX session-level or default basis, the Subscriber's order-by-order instruction will have priority over the FIX session-level or default instruction. The DNCP instruction will not prevent Subscriber orders from interacting with orders that may be on behalf of CGMI Affiliates' principal accounts as CGMI handles such orders in an agency capacity. INCLUSION SELECTION Participants sending FRS Orders to Citi-ONE that provide liquidity may select one of five Inclusion Levels for contra FRS Orders. Inclusion Level 5 is the most inclusive level of interaction with counterparties and Inclusion Level 1 is the most exclusive level of interaction with counterparties. See Part III, Item 13. MINIMUM EXECUTABLE QUANTITY ("MinQty") MinQty allows Participants to specify a minimum quantity for execution against any single contra-side order. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis. Citi-ONE does not aggregate contra-side orders to meet the MinQty; the MinQty specified on an order can only be filled by a single contra-side order. Participants may specify the method by which the MinQty instruction is to be applied in the event a leaves quantity is less than the MinQty specified. A Participant may specify that the order becomes All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity, or a Participant may specify that the order is cancelled back to the Participant if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. Under the default setting, an order will become All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. ORDER TYPE INTERACTION Participants can choose to allow FRS Orders to interact with Conditional Orders (by default, COs will only interact with other COs), making them "Eligible FRS Orders." See Part III, Items 7, 9, and 11.

Inclusion Level 5 is the most inclusive level of interaction with counterparties and Inclusion Level 1 is the most exclusive level of interaction with counterparties. See Part III, Item 13. MINIMUM EXECUTABLE QUANTITY ("MinQty") MinQty allows Participants to specify a minimum quantity for execution against any single contra-side order. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis. Citi-ONE does not aggregate contra-side orders to meet the MinQty; the MinQty specified on an order can only be filled by a single contra-side order. Participants may specify the method by which the MinQty instruction is to be applied in the event a leaves quantity is less than the MinQty specified. A Participant may specify that the order becomes All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity, or a Participant may specify that the order is cancelled back to the Participant if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. Under the default setting, an order will become All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. MAXIMUM QUANTITY ("MAX QTY") MaxQty allows Participants submitting liquidity-providing FRS Orders (not including Eligible FRS Orders) to specify that they are only willing to execute against a contra-side order with a quantity that is equal to or smaller than the Participant's MaxQty. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis to be applied to an FRS Order only. MaxQty is only enforced when an FRS Order interacts with another FRS Order. If the MaxQty instruction is applied to COs, MOC Orders, or Eligible FRS Orders, those orders will be rejected. Both a MaxQty and a MinQty instruction can be applied to the same order, in which case MinQty must be equal to or less than MaxQty or the order will be rejected. The MaxQty instruction will only be enforced for liquidity-providing orders; the liquidity-providing order in a match is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. Any MaxQty instruction on a liquidity-taking order will be ignored. In practice, this means that if a Participant wishes to ensure that MaxQty will be enforced on a given order, it should send the order with the "post only" designation, as defined in Part III, Item 7, such that the order will only be represented in Citi-ONE as a liquidity-providing order. While Participants submitting liquidity-providing orders may specify a MaxQty instruction, any such instruction will be constrained by a pre-defined cap that is 10 times the order quantity. If a Participant's MaxQty exceeds the pre-defined cap, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap. For example, if a Participant submits a 100-share order with a 500-share MaxQty, the MaxQty is below the pre-defined cap of 1,000 shares, so will be accepted as is (500 shares). By contrast, if a Participant submits a 100-share order with a 2,000-share MaxQty, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap of 1,000 shares. Thus, in certain instances, a Participant submitting a MaxQty order will be limited in its ability to interact with contra-side orders based on the application of the pre-defined cap, notwithstanding the Participant's larger MaxQty instruction. Application of the pre-defined cap does not impact priority. If a Participant amends the quantity of their liquidity-providing order, the pre-defined cap will be recalculated based on the amended order quantity. For example, if a Participant amends the same 100-share order in the immediately preceding example to 50 shares and keeps its 2,000-share MaxQty, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap of 500 shares (50 shares times multiplier of 10). If a Participant amends the same 100-share order to 300 shares and keeps its 2,000-share MaxQty, the requested MaxQty will be below the pre-defined cap of 3,000 shares, so will be accepted as is (i.e., 2,000 shares). However, increasing order quantity could cause the order to lose matching priority, as described in Part III, Item 7. If a Participant's liquidity-providing order is partially filled, the originally applicable MaxQty (as modified by any pre-defined cap) will apply. For example, if 50 shares of a 100-share order with a MaxQty of 2,000 shares (which is being treated by Citi-ONE as having a MaxQty of 1,000 due to the pre-defined cap) is executed, the remaining 50 shares will still be treated as having a MaxQty of 1,000 shares. ORDER TYPE INTERACTION Participants can choose to allow FRS Orders to interact with Conditional Orders (by default, COs will only interact with other COs), making them "Eligible FRS Orders." See Part III, Items 7, 9, and 11.

Accordingly, the DNCP instruction will not prevent crossing with the principal interest of CBNA. Direct Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis via FIX tag or can contact the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) to have the DNCP instruction set at the FIX session level.

Inclusion Level 5 is the most inclusive level of interaction with counterparties and Inclusion Level 1 is the most exclusive level of interaction with counterparties. See Part III, Item 13. MINIMUM EXECUTABLE QUANTITY ("MinQty") MinQty allows Participants to specify a minimum quantity for execution against any single contra-side order. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis. Citi-ONE does not aggregate contra-side orders to meet the MinQty; the MinQty specified on an order can only be filled by a single contra-side order. Participants may specify the method by which the MinQty instruction is to be applied in the event a leaves quantity is less than the MinQty specified. A Participant may specify that the order becomes All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity, or a Participant may specify that the order is cancelled back to the Participant if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. Under the default setting, an order will become All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. ORDER TYPE INTERACTION Participants can choose to allow FRS Orders to interact with Conditional Orders (by default, COs will only interact with other COs), making them "Eligible FRS Orders." See Part III, Items 7, 9, and 11.

Orders can be designated to interact or not interact with certain orders based on the following items: SELF-MATCH PREVENTION This feature allows Participants to prevent their own buy and sell orders from matching with one another. This feature is set at the FIX session level. It is enabled by default for Participants. Direct Subscribers may have this feature disabled during the onboarding process or by contacting the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Indirect Subscribers may have this feature disabled by contacting their Client Coverage representative. Participants can also request that self-match prevention apply to not only the Participant's own buy and sell orders but also to buy and sell orders from the Participant's affiliates. DO NOT CROSS PRINCIPAL Citi-ONE supports a DNCP instruction, which, if selected, prevents orders from matching with the principal orders of CGMI or the principal orders of any CGMI Affiliate. Direct Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis via FIX tag or can contact the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) to have the DNCP instruction set at the FIX session level. Indirect Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis or they can contact their Client Coverage representative to enable the DNCP instruction on a default basis. If the DNCP instruction is enabled on a FIX session-level or default basis, it will be applied to all orders, i.e., a Subscriber cannot override that selection on an order-by-order basis. If the DNCP instruction is not enabled on a FIX session-level or default basis, the Subscriber's order-by-order instruction will have priority over the FIX session-level or default instruction.

The default for CitiBLOC is set as "Do Not Cross Self" (DNCS) to prevent a Subscriber's MPID from executing against the same Subscriber MPID. Subscribers have the ability to turn off this feature, by submitting a request to citibloc.ats@citi.com. Subscribers may also opt-out of executing against any principal orders with a "Do Not Cross Principal" (DNCP) tag as previously noted in Part II, Item 3 (a) and (b) above.

This feature is set at the Participant level. It is enabled by default for Participants. Direct Subscribers may have this feature disabled during the onboarding process or by contacting the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Disabling the self-match prevention does not permit two principal orders from the same Direct Subscriber to match. Indirect Subscribers may have this feature disabled by contacting their Client Coverage representative. Participants can also request that self-match prevention apply to not only the Participant's own buy and sell orders but also to buy and sell orders from the Participant's affiliates.

Direct Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis via FIX tag or can contact the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) to have the DNCP instruction set at the Direct Subscriber level. Indirect Subscribers are able to self-select the DNCP instruction on an order-by-order basis or they can contact their Client Coverage representative to enable the DNCP instruction on a default basis. If the DNCP instruction is enabled on a Direct Subscriber-level or default basis, it will be applied to all orders, i.e., a Subscriber cannot override that selection on an order-by-order basis. If the DNCP instruction is not enabled on a Direct Subscriber-level or default basis, the Subscriber's order-by-order instruction will control. The DNCP instruction will not prevent Subscriber orders from interacting with orders that are on behalf of CGMI Affiliates' principal accounts as CGMI handles such orders in an agency capacity. INCLUSION SELECTION Participants sending orders to Citi-ONE that provide liquidity may select one of five Inclusion Levels for contra orders. Inclusion Level 5 is the most inclusive level of interaction with counterparties and Inclusion Level 1 is the most exclusive level of interaction with counterparties. See Part III, Item 13. MINIMUM EXECUTABLE QUANTITY ("MinQty") MinQty allows Participants to specify a minimum quantity for execution against any single contra-side order. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis. Citi-ONE does not aggregate contra-side orders to meet the MinQty; the MinQty specified on an order can only be filled by a single contra-side order. Participants may specify the method by which the MinQty instruction is to be applied in the event a leaves quantity is less than the MinQty specified. A Participant may specify that the order becomes All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity, or a Participant may specify that the order is cancelled back to the Participant if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. Under the default setting, an order will become All or None if the leaves quantity is less than the minimum executable quantity. MAXIMUM QUANTITY ("MAX QTY") MaxQty allows Participants submitting liquidity-providing FRS Orders (including Eligible FRS Orders) to specify that they are only willing to execute against a contra-side order with a quantity that is equal to or smaller than the Participant's MaxQty. Participants can select this feature on an order-by-order basis to be applied to an FRS Order (including an Eligible FRS Order) only. MaxQty is only enforced when an FRS Order (including an Eligible FRS Order) interacts with another FRS Order (or Eligible FRS Order). If the MaxQty instruction is applied to COs, MOC Orders, or Eligible FRS Orders matched with COs, it will be ignored. Both a MaxQty and a MinQty instruction can be applied to the same order, in which case MinQty must be equal to or less than MaxQty or the order will be rejected. The MaxQty instruction will only be enforced for liquidity-providing orders; the liquidity-providing order in a match is the order that was received by Citi-ONE first-in-time and the liquidity-taking order is the order that was received by Citi-ONE second-in-time. Any MaxQty instruction on a liquidity-taking order will be ignored. In practice, this means that if a Participant wishes to ensure that MaxQty will be enforced on a given order, it should send the order with the "post only" designation, as defined in Part III, Item 7, such that the order will only be represented in Citi-ONE as a liquidity-providing order. While Participants submitting liquidity-providing orders may specify a MaxQty instruction, any such instruction will be constrained by a pre-defined cap that is 10 times the order quantity. If a Participant's MaxQty exceeds the pre-defined cap, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap. For example, if a Participant submits a 100-share order with a 500-share MaxQty, the MaxQty is below the pre-defined cap of 1,000 shares, so will be accepted as is (500 shares). By contrast, if a Participant submits a 100-share order with a 2,000-share MaxQty, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap of 1,000 shares. Thus, in certain instances, a Participant submitting a MaxQty order will be limited in its ability to interact with contra-side orders based on the application of the pre-defined cap, notwithstanding the Participant's larger MaxQty instruction. Application of the pre-defined cap does not impact priority. If a Participant amends the quantity of their liquidity-providing order, the pre-defined cap will be recalculated based on the amended order quantity. For example, if a Participant amends the same 100-share order in the immediately preceding example to 50 shares and keeps its 2,000-share MaxQty, Citi-ONE will treat the order as if it has a MaxQty equal to the pre-defined cap of 500 shares (50 shares times multiplier of 10). If a Participant amends the same 100-share order to 300 shares and keeps its 2,000-share MaxQty, the requested MaxQty will be below the pre-defined cap of 3,000 shares, so will be accepted as is (i.e., 2,000 shares). However, increasing order quantity could cause the order to lose matching priority, as described in Part III, Item 7. If a Participant's liquidity-providing order is partially filled, the originally applicable MaxQty (as modified by any pre-defined cap) will apply. For example, if 50 shares of a 100-share order with a MaxQty of 2,000 shares (which is being treated by Citi-ONE as having a MaxQty of 1,000 due to the pre-defined cap) is executed, the remaining 50 shares will still be treated as having a MaxQty of 1,000 shares. ORDER TYPE INTERACTION Participants can choose to allow FRS Orders to interact with Conditional Orders (by default, COs will only interact with other COs), making them "Eligible FRS Orders."

However, increasing order quantity could cause the order to lose matching priority, as described in Part III, Item 7. If a Participant's liquidity-providing order is partially filled, the originally applicable MaxQty (as modified by any pre-defined cap) will apply. For example, if 50 shares of a 100-share order with a MaxQty of 2,000 shares (which is being treated by Citi-ONE as having a MaxQty of 1,000 due to the pre-defined cap) is executed, the remaining 50 shares will still be treated as having a MaxQty of 1,000 shares. ORDER TYPE INTERACTION Participants can choose to allow FRS Orders to interact with Conditional Orders (by default, COs will only interact with other COs), making them "Eligible FRS Orders." See Part III, Items 7, 9, and 11.

There are no subscription fees for accessing Citi-ONE. Subscribers may access Citi-ONE directly (as Direct Subscribers), indirectly (as Indirect Subscribers), or both directly and indirectly. CGMI does not charge Direct Subscribers for a primary and secondary FIX port for each of the RTS and MOCS (see Part III, Item 4). In certain instances, CGMI may charge a monthly fee for additional ports. That fee ranges, at the discretion of CGMI management, from $0 to $250 per FIX session depending upon minimum volume thresholds. Third-party service providers, including datacenters, co-location facilities, and service bureaus may charge Direct Subscribers for connectivity to venues, including Citi-ONE.

CGMI charges Subscribers that are only Indirect Subscribers a bundled services fee, as described in Part III, Item 19(b). CGMI charges Subscribers that are both Direct and Indirect Subscribers in one of two ways. The first option is that the fees/charges associated with the client's Direct Subscriber connectivity and executions are those described here in Part III, Item 19(a), and rates for bundled services associated with the client's Indirect Subscriber relationship are those described in Part III, Item 19(b). The second option is that both Direct Subscriber and Indirect Subscriber fees/charges are part of the bundled services rates described in Part III, Item 19(b). Whether a Direct Subscriber pays a fee per share matched (Part III, Item 19(a)) or a bundled services fee (Part III, Item 19(b)) for their Direct Subscriber connectivity and executions, and the amount of any such fee, depends on each Subscriber's overall relationship with CGMI and variables such as: client type, products and services provided to the client, type of trading flow, trading volume, markets traded, and overall CGMI revenue. The fee does not differ depending on whether the share(s) added or removed liquidity. CGMI does not charge CGMI Business Units or Affiliates fees for shares matched on Citi-ONE. CGMI Affiliates may charge their clients for shares matched on Citi-ONE. Indirect Subscribers are not charged connectivity fees to Citi-ONE.

CGMI is a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., a global financial services firm ("Citi"). Many Affiliates of CGMI have the ability to send orders to a CGMI trading desk or to a CGMI Algorithm. The determination as to whether a CO is sent to CitiBLOC on behalf of a CGMI affiliate is made by the CGMI Algorithm. CGMI Affiliates are authorized to act as broker dealers or banks (or the local equivalent). Each Affiliate may enter orders for its Clients acting as agent, or may enter orders for its account as principal. While Affiliates can send COs marked as principal, executions within CitiBLOC are reported as an agency cross to the Nasdaq trade reporting facility (TRF).

Item 23 (Part III)
compliance_officer
DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes information from Ocean for inclusion in feeds to the CGMI algos and/or SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's and Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through an Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS) and an ATS-specific review and approval process. Direct managers log and manage access using EERS. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager, and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures and written operating procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and/or the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and/or the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the EmDD platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's written supervisory procedures and a plan of supervision, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI.

Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's plan of supervision and written procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about Citi-ONE FRS Orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the algos and the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the algos and the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the algo and SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the algos and the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The algos and SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR), and from the DMA offered by CGMI, and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes information from Ocean for inclusion in feeds to the CGMI algos and/or SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel (including temporary personnel) who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. The DMA platform offered by CGMI has access to information about orders routed through it, including Direct Subscribers' intraday (real-time) order and matching information. Employees of the third-party DMA platform provider have access to such information for purposes of providing technological support. The identities of Direct Subscribers are not visible to employees of the third-party DMA platform. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's and Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. Shared employees are required to receive training specific to the handling of Citi-ONE CTI in advance of receiving access to an application that contains Citi-ONE CTI and annually thereafter. The manager of each shared employee is responsible for ensuring timely completion of the CTI training. The Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor and approved Series 24 Delegate(s) also complete the annual CTI-specific training. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through the following review and approval processes. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). Depending on the means of access, a shared employee may also need approval from the application (technology) manager aligned to the specific application in which the Citi-ONE CTI resides (which could be the same as their direct manager). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate will also be required to review and respond to a CMP request, and, depending on the application for which access is sought, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager aligned to the specific application in which the Citi-ONE CTI resides (which could be the same as their direct manager) may also be required to review and respond to a CMP request. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, direct managers conduct semi-annual reviews of such access in CGMI's Enterprise Entitlement Review System. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly and quarterly reviews related to shared employees who have access to Citi-ONE CTI. On a semi-annual basis, direct managers of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI perform entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, including to confirm that these shared employees only have entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CGMI requires entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI to be removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE CTI. Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures and written operating procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE CTI. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and/or the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and/or the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination. The DMA platform offered by CGMI, has access to information about orders routed through it, including Direct Subscribers' intraday (real-time) order and matching information. Employees of the third-party DMA platform provider have access to such information for purposes of providing technological support. The identities of Direct Subscribers are not visible to employees of the third-party DMA platform. The provider attests each quarter to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) that each employee with access to the DMA platform data requires such access to perform their roles and responsibilities.

GENERAL BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CitiBLOC is comprised of standalone hardware (i.e., servers) and application software (collectively, the "Crossing Platform"). CitiBLOC does not share the Crossing Platform with any other CGMI systems; however, the Crossing Platform resides in the same datacenter (Equinix, NY4) cage as other CGMI systems. As referenced below, CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of confidential information of Citi and of Citi's clients to those that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. In addition, as referenced below, CitiBLOC has written procedures in conjunction with a plan of supervision designed to ensure compliance with applicable industry rules and regulations with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CitiBLOC considers Subscribers' Identities, COs in CitiBLOC, Invitations to Firm-up in CitiBLOC, Firmed-up Orders in CitiBLOC, executions in CitiBLOC and reports relating to the foregoing ATS data to be Subscriber confidential trading information. Access to Subscriber confidential trading information is limited to those that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS and they may use that access for the sole purpose of their ATS responsibilities. Below are references to functional groups and systems that have access to Subscriber confidential trading information, as well as an overview of the applicable safeguards and oversight procedures regarding Subscriber confidential trading information. EMPLOYEES WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CGMI has a dedicated CitiBLOC employee and shared employees from CGMI, or an Affiliate, as described in Part II, Item 6(a). These employees have access to confidential trading information in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS, and are prohibited from sharing confidential trading information with Persons not authorized to receive such information. CitiBLOC does not provide Subscriber confidential trading information to CGMI business units for the purpose of principal trading or any other purpose. SYSTEMS WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- All COs that enter CitiBLOC pass through CGMI's direct gateway. This direct gateway does not communicate confidential trading information to any other CGMI system. It is the only gateway into CitiBLOC. COs sent through direct FIX connectivity to CitiBLOC do not pass through any CGMI system. CGMI trading systems used by shared employees within Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage, as described in response to Part II, Item 6(a), can transmit confidential trading information to the extent orders handled by the Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage are routed to CitiBLOC. These systems convey information to those shared employees with respect to where their Clients' orders were routed or executed, which involve various market centers, including CitiBLOC. To the extent that CGMI's Algorithms route COs on behalf of CGMI, CGMI Clients, or CGMI Affiliates to CitiBLOC (see Part III, Item 5), CGMI's Algorithms access and transmit confidential trading information relating to such COs. CGMI's Algorithms make subsequent routing decisions based upon orders previously placed by Algorithms. Responses received pertaining to previously placed orders are used to update statistics (e.g. hit rate, fill rate) and to maintain status of whether most recent order placements resulted in a complete execution, partial execution or no execution. This information is maintained by symbol and side across all venues including CitiBLOC and used as a factor in subsequent allocation decisions. CitiBLOC executions (trade reports) are electronically reported to the FINRA/Nasdaq trade reporting facility (TRF) in Carteret through Citi's trade reporting services. As an alternative, CitiBLOC has the ability to submit trade reporting to the back-up FINRA/Nasdaq TRF in Chicago. This trade reporting service provides limited shared employees (e.g. Production Support) the ability to manually enter, modify, cancel and upload trade reports in the event the automated trade reporting fails. CBNA maintains a database that contains transaction related data. CitiBLOC data is segregated from other CGMI data. The CitiBLOC employee and shared employees of the ATS leverage a proprietary application for real-time monitoring. FIX Engineering, Production Support, U.S. Connectivity and the ATS Supervisor use this application to query and monitor Subscribers' COs, Invitations to Firm-up, Firmed-up Orders and Executions. This real-time monitoring tool is also used to monitor the health of CitiBLOC and the FIX gateway (e.g. alerts for rejects, market conditions and RegSHO messages). In addition, shared employees also leverage third-party monitoring tools to monitor various components of infrastructure, related to the Crossing Platform. SAFEGUARDING AND OVERSEEING SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- Access to CitiBLOC Crossing Platform, relevant CGMI applications to CitiBLOC, and Subscriber Confidential Trading Information: Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS, requests for access to the CitiBLOC Crossing Platform must be submitted through a formal process and are subject to approval by the ATS Supervisor (see Part II, Item 7 (d)). The ATS Supervisor is responsible for determining whether requesting personnel are required to gain access to support the operation or compliance of the ATS prior to access being approved. Shared employees requesting access to CitiBLOC are also required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the CitiBLOC Application (Technology) Owner and then the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate). Any CitiBLOC employee or shared employee seeking access to CitiBLOC data must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") for a specific role. The role chosen determines the type of access in consideration to be approved. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) must review any request as the final approver before a Person is approved for access to CitiBLOC data. In reviewing access requests, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) considers factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to CitiBLOC. An employee request to gain access may be denied if their access is deemed to be unnecessary or inappropriate with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Additionally, approved access requests are subject to a quarterly review by the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) to confirm the appropriateness of access to CitiBLOC data. Access to CitiBLOC data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee at CitiBLOC whose role has changed to a role where access to CitiBLOC data is unnecessary or inappropriate or any employee who has been inactive, transferred or terminated. Also pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor, Legal, Compliance, Technology and Business Management gather monthly for a CitiBLOC governance meeting to review and confirm the appropriateness of shared employees' access to CitiBLOC data. In addition to reviewing who has access to CitiBLOC data, Subscriber response ratios including Ranks, previous months' ATS performance, considerations for material or non-material technology or business related changes, regulatory updates, compliance and legal matters are amongst the primary topics discussed. CGMI employee entitlements are captured in an internal system, Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS). Citi managers that have direct reports that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information must review their employee application entitlements at a minimum semi-annually. The CitiBLOC Supervisor is required to attest CitiBLOC shared employees entitlements have been reviewed in a timely basis by the shared employees' direct manager. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) also conducts semi-annual reviews to ensure managers of CitiBLOC shared employees are reviewing entitlements of the shared employees, and the ATS shared employees only have access to ATS applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS: Citi employees, including those with access to Subscriber confidential trading information, are subject to Citi policies that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi has a Personal Trading and Investment Policy that defines permitted and prohibited trading and investment activities, preclearance requirements, and requirements regarding the maintenance, disclosure and surveillance of a personal brokerage or trading accounts. Employees and their families ("related persons") may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any confidential information for personal trading. Employees (depending on their role) must enter a pre-approval request to trade via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account, which among other things, requires the approval of the employees' direct manager. Employees' personal investment positions are subject to a holding period. Employees are generally restricted from trading New Issues and in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Personal trades in securities or related derivatives on the Firm's Restricted List may be prohibited. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each employees' manager considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the employee's daily business activities. The employees' manager considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. Trading activity of employees of CGMI is reviewed by the employees' manager via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system to ensure that Subscriber confidential information is not used for employee personal trading. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. The ATS Supervisor and CitiBLOC shared employees are subject to the CGMI employee trading policy and are monitored on a regular basis via the CGMI Employee Due Diligence (EmDD). On an annual basis, CGMI employees must confirm through the EmDD platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand, and will abide by, Citi's Employee Trading Policy. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) conducts a monthly review of the employee's managers of the ATS shared employees to ensure that they are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply by the Citigroup Code of Conduct, which includes provisions that address safeguarding confidential information of Citi and others. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, on a semi-annual basis, the CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) attests that ATS shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding confidential trading information. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to manage cyber risks. The intelligence-led strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to CitiBLOC. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as positions that can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such activities to occur are subject to a mandatory absence. The objective of the policy is for employees to be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time. The CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor attests annually that ATS shared employees who are subject to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy have satisfied their mandatory absence requirement.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes information from Ocean for inclusion in feeds to the CGMI algos and/or SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's and Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. Each shared employee is required to complete assigned annual compliance training, which covers safeguarding client confidential information, which is defined as any information regarding a client's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, directional exposure or trading strategy or related non-public transactional information. The manager of each shared employee is responsible for ensuring timely completion of the training. The Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor and approved Series 24 Delegate(s) also complete this annual training. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through the following review and approval processes. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager and, depending on the means of access, either or both of (i) the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager aligned to the specific application in which the Citi-ONE CTI resides (which could be the same as the direct manager), and (ii) the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. Depending on the application for which access is sought, the application (technology) manager and/or the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate may also be required to review and respond to a CMP request. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, direct managers conduct semi-annual reviews of such access in CGMI's Enterprise Entitlement Review System. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly and quarterly reviews related to shared employees who have access to Citi-ONE CTI. On a semi-annual basis, direct managers of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI perform entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, including to confirm that these shared employees only have entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CGMI requires entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI to be removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE CTI. Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures and written operating procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE CTI. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and/or the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and/or the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes Firm Regular Session Order information from Ocean for inclusion in the feeds to the CGMI algos and SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services.

FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through an Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS) and an ATS-specific review and approval process. Direct managers log and manage access using EERS. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager, and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's plan of supervision and written procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about Citi-ONE FRS Orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds.

The CGMI algos and SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE.

S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI.

GENERAL BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CitiBLOC is comprised of standalone hardware (i.e., servers) and application software (collectively, the "Crossing Platform"). CitiBLOC does not share the Crossing Platform with any other CGMI systems; however, the Crossing Platform resides in the same datacenter (Equinix, NY4) cage as other CGMI systems. As referenced below, CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of confidential information of Citi and of Citi's clients to those that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. In addition, as referenced below, CitiBLOC has written procedures in conjunction with a plan of supervision designed to ensure compliance with applicable industry rules and regulations with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CitiBLOC considers Subscribers' Identities, COs in CitiBLOC, Invitations to Firm-up in CitiBLOC, Firmed-up Orders in CitiBLOC, executions in CitiBLOC and reports relating to the foregoing ATS data to be Subscriber confidential trading information. Access to Subscriber confidential trading information is limited to those that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS and they may use that access for the sole purpose of their ATS responsibilities. Below are references to functional groups and systems that have access to Subscriber confidential trading information, as well as an overview of the applicable safeguards and oversight procedures regarding Subscriber confidential trading information. EMPLOYEES WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CGMI has a dedicated CitiBLOC employee and shared employees from CGMI, or an Affiliate, as described in Part II, Item 6(a). These employees have access to confidential trading information in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS, and are prohibited from sharing confidential trading information with Persons not authorized to receive such information. CitiBLOC does not provide Subscriber confidential trading information to CGMI business units for the purpose of principal trading or any other purpose. SYSTEMS WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- All COs that enter CitiBLOC pass through CGMI's direct gateway. This direct gateway does not communicate confidential trading information to any other CGMI system. It is the only gateway into CitiBLOC. COs sent through direct FIX connectivity to CitiBLOC do not pass through any CGMI system. CGMI trading systems used by shared employees within Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage, as described in response to Part II, Item 6(a), can transmit confidential trading information to the extent orders handled by the Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage are routed to CitiBLOC. These systems convey information to those shared employees with respect to where their Clients' orders were routed or executed, which involve various market centers, including CitiBLOC. To the extent that CGMI's Algorithms route COs on behalf of CGMI, CGMI Clients, or CGMI Affiliates to CitiBLOC (see Part III, Item 5), CGMI's Algorithms access and transmit confidential trading information relating to such COs. CGMI's Algorithms make subsequent routing decisions based upon orders previously placed by Algorithms. Responses received pertaining to previously placed orders are used to update statistics (e.g. hit rate, fill rate) and to maintain status of whether most recent order placements resulted in a complete execution, partial execution or no execution. This information is maintained by symbol and side across all venues including CitiBLOC and used as a factor in subsequent allocation decisions. CitiBLOC executions (trade reports) are electronically reported to the FINRA/Nasdaq trade reporting facility (TRF) in Carteret through Citi's trade reporting services. As an alternative, CitiBLOC has the ability to submit trade reporting to the back-up FINRA/Nasdaq TRF in Chicago. This trade reporting service provides limited shared employees (e.g. Production Support) the ability to manually enter, modify, cancel and upload trade reports in the event the automated trade reporting fails. CBNA maintains a database that contains transaction related data. CitiBLOC data is segregated from other CGMI data. The CitiBLOC employee and shared employees of the ATS leverage a proprietary application for real-time monitoring. FIX Engineering, Production Support, U.S. Connectivity and the ATS Supervisor use this application to query and monitor Subscribers' COs, Invitations to Firm-up, Firmed-up Orders and Executions. This real-time monitoring tool is also used to monitor the health of CitiBLOC and the FIX gateway (e.g. alerts for rejects, market conditions and RegSHO messages). In addition, shared employees also leverage third-party monitoring tools to monitor various components of infrastructure, related to the Crossing Platform. SAFEGUARDING AND OVERSEEING SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- Access to CitiBLOC Crossing Platform, relevant CGMI applications to CitiBLOC, and Subscriber Confidential Trading Information: Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS, requests for access to the CitiBLOC Crossing Platform must be submitted through a formal process and are subject to approval by the ATS Supervisor (see Part II, Item 7 (d)). The ATS Supervisor is responsible for determining whether requesting personnel are required to gain access to support the operation or compliance of the ATS prior to access being approved. Shared employees requesting access to CitiBLOC are also required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the CitiBLOC Application (Technology) Owner and then the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate). Any CitiBLOC employee or shared employee seeking access to CitiBLOC data must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") for a specific role. The role chosen determines the type of access in consideration to be approved. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) must review any request as the final approver before a Person is approved for access to CitiBLOC data. In reviewing access requests, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) considers factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to CitiBLOC. An employee request to gain access may be denied if their access is deemed to be unnecessary or inappropriate with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Additionally, approved access requests are subject to a quarterly review by the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) to confirm the appropriateness of access to CitiBLOC data. Access to CitiBLOC data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee at CitiBLOC whose role has changed to a role where access to CitiBLOC data is unnecessary or inappropriate or any employee who has been inactive, transferred or terminated. Also pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor, Legal, Compliance, Technology and Business Management gather monthly for a CitiBLOC governance meeting to review and confirm the appropriateness of shared employees' access to CitiBLOC data. In addition to reviewing who has access to CitiBLOC data, Subscriber response ratios including Ranks, previous months' ATS performance, considerations for material or non-material technology or business related changes, regulatory updates, compliance and legal matters are amongst the primary topics discussed. CGMI employee entitlements are captured in an internal system, Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS). Citi managers that have direct reports that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information must review their employee application entitlements at a minimum semi-annually. The CitiBLOC Supervisor is required to attest CitiBLOC shared employees entitlements have been reviewed in a timely basis by the shared employees' direct manager. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) also conducts semi-annual reviews to ensure managers of CitiBLOC shared employees are reviewing entitlements of the shared employees, and the ATS shared employees only have access to ATS applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS: Citi employees, including those with access to Subscriber confidential trading information, are subject to Citi policies that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi has a Personal Trading and Investment Policy that defines permitted and prohibited trading and investment activities, preclearance requirements, and requirements regarding the maintenance, disclosure and surveillance of a personal brokerage or trading accounts. Employees and their families ("related persons") may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any confidential information for personal trading. Employees (depending on their role) must enter a pre-approval request to trade via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account, which among other things, requires the approval of the employees' direct manager. Employees' personal investment positions are subject to a holding period. Employees are generally restricted from trading New Issues and in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Personal trades in securities or related derivatives on the Firm's Restricted List may be prohibited. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each employees' manager considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the employee's daily business activities. The employees' manager considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. Trading activity of employees of CGMI is reviewed by the employees' manager via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system to ensure that Subscriber confidential information is not used for employee personal trading. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. The ATS Supervisor and CitiBLOC shared employees are subject to the CGMI employee trading policy and are monitored on a regular basis via the CGMI Employee Due Diligence (EmDD). On an annual basis, CGMI employees must confirm through the EmDD platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand, and will abide by, Citi's Employee Trading Policy. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) conducts a monthly review of the employee's managers of the ATS shared employees to ensure that they are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply by the Citigroup Code of Conduct, which includes provisions that address safeguarding confidential information of Citi and others. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, on a semi-annual basis, the CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) attests that ATS shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding confidential trading information. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to manage cyber risks. The intelligence-led strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to CitiBLOC. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as positions that can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such activities to occur are subject to a mandatory absence. The objective of the policy is for employees to be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time. The CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor attests annually that the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) who are subject to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy have satisfied their mandatory absence requirement.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes information from Ocean for inclusion in feeds to the CGMI algos and/or SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's written supervisory procedures and a plan of supervision, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through an Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS) and an ATS-specific review and approval process. Direct managers log and manage access using EERS. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager, and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's plan of supervision and written procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and/or the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and/or the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's and Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. Each shared employee is required to complete assigned annual compliance training, which covers safeguarding client confidential information, which is defined as any information regarding a client's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, directional exposure or trading strategy or related non-public transactional information. The manager of each shared employee is responsible for ensuring timely completion of the training. The Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor and approved Series 24 Delegate(s) also complete this annual training. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through the following review and approval processes. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager and, depending on the means of access, either or both of (i) the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager aligned to the specific application in which the Citi-ONE CTI resides (which could be the same as the direct manager), and (ii) the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. Depending on the application for which access is sought, the application (technology) manager and/or the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate will also be required to review and respond to a CMP request. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, direct managers conduct semi-annual reviews of such access in CGMI's Enterprise Entitlement Review System. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly and quarterly reviews related to shared employees who have access to Citi-ONE CTI. On a semi-annual basis, direct managers of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI perform entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, including to confirm that these shared employees only have entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CGMI requires entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI to be removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE CTI. Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures and written operating procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE CTI. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI.

Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

GENERAL BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CitiBLOC is comprised of standalone hardware (i.e., servers) and application software (collectively, the "Crossing Platform"). CitiBLOC does not share the Crossing Platform with any other CGMI systems; however, the Crossing Platform resides in the same datacenter (Equinix, NY4) cage as other CGMI systems. As referenced below, CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of confidential information of Citi and of Citi's clients to those that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. In addition, as referenced below, CitiBLOC has written procedures in conjunction with a plan of supervision designed to ensure compliance with applicable industry rules and regulations with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CitiBLOC considers Subscribers' Identities, COs in CitiBLOC, Invitations to Firm-up in CitiBLOC, Firmed-up Orders in CitiBLOC, executions in CitiBLOC and reports relating to the foregoing ATS data to be Subscriber confidential trading information. Access to Subscriber confidential trading information is limited to those that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information that have a "need-to-know" in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS and they may use that access for the sole purpose of their ATS responsibilities. Below are references to functional groups and systems that have access to Subscriber confidential trading information, as well as an overview of the applicable safeguards and oversight procedures regarding Subscriber confidential trading information. EMPLOYEES WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- CGMI has a dedicated CitiBLOC employee and shared employees from CGMI, or an Affiliate, as described in Part II, Item 6(a). These employees have access to confidential trading information in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS, and are prohibited from sharing confidential trading information with Persons not authorized to receive such information. CitiBLOC does not provide Subscriber confidential trading information to CGMI business units for the purpose of principal trading or any other purpose. SYSTEMS WITH ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- All COs that enter CitiBLOC pass through CGMI's direct gateway. This direct gateway does not communicate confidential trading information to any other CGMI system. It is the only gateway into CitiBLOC. COs sent through direct FIX connectivity to CitiBLOC do not pass through any CGMI system. CGMI trading systems used by shared employees within Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage, as described in response to Part II, Item 6(a), can transmit confidential trading information to the extent orders handled by the Cash Sales Trading, Cash Trading and EE Coverage are routed to CitiBLOC. These systems convey information to those shared employees with respect to where their Clients' orders were routed or executed, which involve various market centers, including CitiBLOC. To the extent that CGMI's Algorithms route COs on behalf of CGMI, CGMI Clients, or CGMI Affiliates to CitiBLOC (see Part III, Item 5), CGMI's Algorithms access and transmit confidential trading information relating to such COs. CGMI's Algorithms make subsequent routing decisions based upon orders previously placed by Algorithms. Responses received pertaining to previously placed orders are used to update statistics (e.g. hit rate, fill rate) and to maintain status of whether most recent order placements resulted in a complete execution, partial execution or no execution. This information is maintained by symbol and side across all venues including CitiBLOC and used as a factor in subsequent allocation decisions. CitiBLOC executions (trade reports) are electronically reported to the FINRA/Nasdaq trade reporting facility (TRF) in Carteret through Citi's trade reporting services. As an alternative, CitiBLOC has the ability to submit trade reporting to the back-up FINRA/Nasdaq TRF in Chicago. This trade reporting service provides limited shared employees (e.g. Production Support) the ability to manually enter, modify, cancel and upload trade reports in the event the automated trade reporting fails. CBNA maintains a database that contains transaction related data. CitiBLOC data is segregated from other CGMI data. The CitiBLOC employee and shared employees of the ATS leverage a proprietary application for real-time monitoring. FIX Engineering, Production Support, U.S. Connectivity and the ATS Supervisor use this application to query and monitor Subscribers' COs, Invitations to Firm-up, Firmed-up Orders and agency crosses. This real-time monitoring tool is also used to monitor the health of CitiBLOC and the FIX gateway (e.g. alerts for rejects, market conditions and RegSHO messages). In addition, shared employees also leverage third-party monitoring tools to monitor various components of infrastructure, related to the Crossing Platform. SAFEGUARDING AND OVERSEEING SUBSCRIBER CONFIDENTIAL TRADING INFORMATION -- Access to CitiBLOC Crossing Platform, relevant CGMI applications to CitiBLOC, and Subscriber Confidential Trading Information: Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS, requests for access to the CitiBLOC Crossing Platform must be submitted through a formal process and are subject to approval by the ATS Supervisor (see Part II, Item 7 (d)). The ATS Supervisor is responsible for determining whether requesting personnel are required to gain access to support the operation or compliance of the ATS prior to access being approved. Shared employees requesting access to CitiBLOC are also required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the CitiBLOC Application (Technology) Owner and then the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate). Any CitiBLOC employee or shared employee seeking access to CitiBLOC data must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") for a specific role. The role chosen determines the type of access in consideration to be approved. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) must review any request as the final approver before a Person is approved for access to CitiBLOC data. In reviewing access requests, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) considers factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to CitiBLOC. An employee request to gain access may be denied if their access is deemed to be unnecessary or inappropriate with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Additionally, approved access requests are subject to a quarterly review by the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) to confirm the appropriateness of access to CitiBLOC data. Access to CitiBLOC data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee at CitiBLOC whose role has changed to a role where access to CitiBLOC data is unnecessary or inappropriate or any employee who has been inactive, transferred or terminated. Also pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor, Legal, Compliance, Technology and Business Management gather monthly for a CitiBLOC governance meeting to review and confirm the appropriateness of shared employees' access to CitiBLOC data. In addition to reviewing who has access to CitiBLOC data, Subscriber response ratios including Ranks, previous months' ATS performance, considerations for material or non-material technology or business related changes, regulatory updates, compliance and legal matters are amongst the primary topics discussed. CGMI employee entitlements are captured in an internal system, Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS). Citi managers that have direct reports that have been approved for access to Subscriber confidential trading information must review their employee application entitlements at a minimum semi-annually. The CitiBLOC Supervisor is required to attest CitiBLOC shared employees entitlements have been reviewed in a timely basis by the shared employees' direct manager. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) also conducts semi-annual reviews to ensure managers of CitiBLOC shared employees are reviewing entitlements of the shared employees, and the ATS shared employees only have access to ATS applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS: Citi employees, including those with access to Subscriber confidential trading information, are subject to Citi policies that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi has a Personal Trading and Investment Policy that defines permitted and prohibited trading and investment activities, preclearance requirements, and requirements regarding the maintenance, disclosure and surveillance of a personal brokerage or trading accounts. Employees and their families ("related persons") may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any confidential information for personal trading. Employees (depending on their role) must enter a pre-approval request to trade via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account, which among other things, requires the approval of the employees' direct manager. Employees' personal investment positions are subject to a holding period. Employees are generally restricted from trading New Issues and in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Personal trades in securities or related derivatives on the Firm's Restricted List may be prohibited. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each employees' manager considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the employee's daily business activities. The employees' manager considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. Trading activity of employees of CGMI is reviewed by the employees' manager via the Citi Employee Due Diligence (EmDD) system to ensure that Subscriber confidential information is not used for employee personal trading. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. The ATS Supervisor and CitiBLOC shared employees are subject to the CGMI employee trading policy and are monitored on a regular basis via the CGMI Employee Due Diligence (EmDD). On an annual basis, CGMI employees must confirm through the EmDD platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand, and will abide by, Citi's Employee Trading Policy. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with CitiBLOC's written procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) conducts a monthly review of the employee's managers of the ATS shared employees to ensure that they are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply by the Citigroup Code of Conduct, which includes provisions that address safeguarding confidential information of Citi and others. Pursuant to CitiBLOC's plan of supervision and in conjunction with its written procedures, on a semi-annual basis, the CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 delegate) attests that ATS shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding confidential trading information. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to manage cyber risks. The intelligence-led strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to CitiBLOC. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as positions that can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such activities to occur are subject to a mandatory absence. The objective of the policy is for employees to be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time. The CitiBLOC ATS Supervisor attests annually that ATS shared employees who are subject to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy have satisfied their mandatory absence requirement.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade aggregated and anonymized information to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes Firm Regular Session Order information from Ocean for inclusion in the feeds to the CGMI algos and SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance For You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's written supervisory procedures and a plan of supervision, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through an Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS) and an ATS-specific review and approval process. Direct managers log and manage access using EERS. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager, and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's plan of supervision and written procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about Citi-ONE FRS Orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

DEFINITION OF CTI AND CITI-ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CGMI maintains policies and standards designed to limit sharing of Citi's and Citi's clients' confidential information with only those who have a need to know such information in order to perform their job functions. These policies and standards also apply to CGMI personnel and shared personnel involved in the operation of Citi-ONE or responsible for the ATS's compliance with applicable laws. As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes Firm Regular Session Order information from Ocean for inclusion in the feeds to the CGMI algos and SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's written supervisory procedures and a plan of supervision, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. On a semi-annual basis, the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) attests that shared employees have completed assigned annual compliance training which covers safeguarding CTI. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through an Enterprise Entitlement Review System (EERS) and an ATS-specific review and approval process. Direct managers log and manage access using EERS. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager, the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager, and the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, semi-annual reviews of such access are managed and captured in EERS. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly reviews related to shared employees who have real-time access to Citi-ONE. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) also conducts quarterly reviews with respect to persons with access to Citi-ONE information/CTI on a T+1 basis. On a semi-annual basis, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts reviews of those shared employees within a direct manager's reporting line. Specifically, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a review to confirm that direct managers of Citi-ONE shared employees are performing timely access and entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, and that these shared employees only have access to ATS-related applications that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. Access to Citi-ONE data is removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE data. Citi-ONE's plan of supervision and written procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to intraday and historical order and matching information and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE data. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about Citi-ONE FRS Orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI.

The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE.

Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals.

As noted in Part II, Item 6, any information regarding a Participant's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, risk exposure or trading strategy, or similar non-public transactional information related to that Participant is considered CTI. CGMI does not consider post-trade information that is aggregated and anonymized, or otherwise presented in a way that does not reveal a client to be a Subscriber to Citi-ONE, including the example described above in Part II, Item 6, to be CTI. The Citi-ONE matching engines and gateway ("Citi-ONE infrastructure") are hosted and operated by Ocean, as described in Part II, Item 6. This Citi-ONE infrastructure resides in an Ocean cage within the Equinix NY4 datacenter and is physically separated from other CGMI systems (including the CGMI algos and SOR) and operated on hardware separate from other systems hosted and operated by Ocean. Citi-ONE infrastructure also is separate from that of the Nasdaq exchanges. All Citi-ONE orders pass through the Citi-ONE gateway as the access point to the Citi-ONE ATS. CGMI utilizes the standard Exegy Ticker Plant (XTP) market data solution, which processes information from Ocean for inclusion in feeds to the CGMI algos and/or SOR as described in Part III, Item 15. The XTP is hosted by CGMI, on CGMI leased premises, in a third-party data center and is controlled and secured by Citi firewalls. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Access to Citi-ONE CTI is limited to Citi personnel who have a need to know in order to support the operation and compliance of the ATS. Employees of CGMI and its Affiliates support the operation of the Citi-ONE ATS and other businesses (shared employees), as described in Part II, Item 6. These shared employees as well as certain CGMI applications have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Also, Ocean employees responsible for the daily operation of Citi-ONE have access to Citi-ONE CTI in the form of Citi-ONE intraday and historical order and matching information. These Ocean employees reside in a separate physical location from CGMI shared employees. Separately, certain Exegy employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI as it is processed in the XTP as well as when providing Citi-ONE-related services. See Part III, Item 15 for additional information about services provided by Exegy. Set forth below are the written standards and oversight procedures to safeguard Citi-ONE CTI. CGMI POLICIES AND STANDARDS The following CGMI policies and standards, as well as the CGMI access and information barriers, apply to the Citi personnel identified in Part II, Item 7(d), except to the extent the description of a particular control or safeguard reflects a more limited application (e.g., the Mandatory Absence policy). PERSONAL TRADING: Citi employees, including those with access to Citi-ONE CTI, are subject to Citi policies, which apply to CGMI, that prohibit personal trading based on non-public or other confidential information. Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy defines permitted and prohibited trading and provides rules for the maintenance and review of internal and external brokerage activities of Citi employees who are involved in the purchase and sale of investment products as well as certain senior officers of Citi (together with their other covered household members, "Covered Persons"). The ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate) and Citi-ONE shared employees are subject to Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Covered Persons may only trade securities in Firm-approved outside brokerage accounts, and they are not allowed to use any Citi-ONE CTI for personal trading. Covered Persons' personal investment positions are subject to a 30-day holding period. Covered Persons are generally restricted from trading New Issues and engaging in certain trading strategies involving Citi securities. Covered Persons must enter a pre-approval request for every purchase and sale of a security executed in an employee investment account. The Compliance Department reviews these requests. Covered Persons that are responsible for the operation of Citi-ONE and certain others must also obtain the approval of their direct manager prior to a transaction. The investment activities of Covered Persons, including Citi preclearance requirements and the disclosure and surveillance of personal brokerage or trading accounts are monitored by each Covered Person's direct manager. Prior to approving or rejecting any personal trading request, each Covered Person's direct manager (or the Compliance Department, as the case may be) considers various factors that touch upon how closely related the proposed trade is to the Covered Person's daily business activities. The approver considers whether the proposed transaction potentially raises a conflict of interest or is otherwise not in the best interests of Citi. On a post-trade basis, CGMI direct managers use the Compliance for You (CoFY) system to review Covered Persons' personal trading activities. Accounts that do not permit trading in individual securities, derivatives, futures, or commodities (e.g., cryptocurrency accounts, mutual funds, unit investment trusts) are not subject to this review. During the review of employee trading activity, managers of the employee look for pre-approvals, indications of improper trading activity that might interfere with such person's job responsibilities, and excessive trading. CGMI's Employee Trading Surveillance Team also monitors activity in employee personal trading accounts. On an annual basis, Covered Persons must confirm through the CoFY platform that the information about their reportable accounts on record is accurate, as well as certify that they understand and will abide by Citi's Personal Trading and Investment Policy. Pursuant to CGMI's and Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures, the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts a monthly review to ensure that the managers of the ATS's shared employees are conducting their reviews of employee personal trading in a timely manner. FIRM-WIDE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION RESTRICTIONS: As a general matter, Citi employees are required to read and comply with the Citi Code of Conduct, Citi Privacy and Confidentiality Policy and Citi Electronic Communications Policy, which include provisions that address safeguarding sensitive information. Each shared employee is required to complete assigned annual compliance training, which covers safeguarding client confidential information, which is defined as any information regarding a client's identity, orders, trading interest or intentions, positions, directional exposure or trading strategy or related non-public transactional information. The manager of each shared employee is responsible for ensuring timely completion of the training. The Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor and approved Series 24 Delegate(s) also complete this annual training. CYBER RISK: Citi has adopted and implemented an intelligence-led strategy to establish, implement, review, and adjust its approach to managing cyber risks. The strategy is supported by corresponding information security programs, policies and procedures, governance and management structures, reporting, and metrics. This strategy is applicable to Citi-ONE. MANDATORY ABSENCE: Pursuant to the Citi Mandatory Absence Policy, employees who have the authority to execute transactions on behalf of CGMI and its Clients, or authority to make entries in Citi's books and records, as well as employees who can authorize, approve, or otherwise directly cause such transactions, are subject to a mandatory absence. As a compliance control, the policy requires such employees be absent from sensitive positions for a prescribed period of time so that their activities may be performed by others. CGMI ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS In addition to the above-referenced policies, Citi has information barriers to separate personnel and systems with access to ATS CTI from those not permitted to access such information. Citi also relies on information barriers to distinguish among personnel and systems permissioned to access different types of Citi-ONE CTI. Citi also restricts access to Citi applications containing Citi-ONE CTI through the following review and approval processes. Shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI are required to obtain approval from their direct manager and, depending on the means of access, either or both of (i) the Citi-ONE application (technology) manager aligned to the specific application in which the Citi-ONE CTI resides (which could be the same as the direct manager), and (ii) the primary business information owner (the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate). The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) oversees access to Citi-ONE CTI by shared employees who are managed by persons other than the ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). Any shared employees seeking access to Citi-ONE CTI must submit a request through Citi's Marketplace ("CMP") and such request for access is considered based on the role of the requestor. Direct managers are responsible for reviewing the request for access to Citi-ONE CTI prior to providing approval. In considering such requests, direct managers consider factors including the employee's current role and whether the employee performs a function related to Citi-ONE. Depending on the application for which access is sought, the application (technology) manager and/or the ATS Supervisor or approved Series 24 Delegate may also be required to review and respond to a CMP request. An employee's access request will be denied if the employee's role does not require such access in order to operate Citi-ONE or support Citi-ONE compliance efforts. Subsequent to initial approval of a request for access, direct managers conduct semi-annual reviews of such access in CGMI's Enterprise Entitlement Review System. The ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate) conducts monthly and quarterly reviews related to shared employees who have access to Citi-ONE CTI. On a semi-annual basis, direct managers of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI perform entitlements reviews of the shared employees reporting to them, including to confirm that these shared employees only have entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI that are appropriate and necessary for their roles with respect to supporting the operation and compliance of the ATS. CGMI requires entitlements to applications containing Citi-ONE CTI to be removed with respect to any employee previously classified as a shared employee of Citi-ONE whose role has changed and, as a result, no longer requires access to Citi-ONE CTI. Citi-ONE's written supervisory procedures and written operating procedures also require a monthly governance meeting of a group consisting of the ATS Supervisor (and approved Series 24 Delegate), Legal, Compliance, and Operations personnel. During this Citi-ONE governance meeting, amongst a variety of ATS-related topics, the group reviews additions and subtractions to the list of shared employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI and the appropriateness of shared employees' access to Citi-ONE CTI. The Exegy data feeds (the anonymized, aggregated information about certain Citi-ONE orders, as described in Part III, Item 15) that are used by CGMI algos and/or the SOR are considered Citi-ONE CTI. Access to this Citi-ONE CTI contained in the data feeds is confined to the CGMI algos and/or the SOR in the following ways: First, access to the Exegy data feeds containing Citi-ONE information is via physical cable, which allows CGMI to limit access to the data feeds. Only the CGMI algos and/or the SOR have this physical connection to the Exegy data feeds--they are not physically connected to any other CGMI infrastructure. Second, once connected, the CGMI algo and/or SOR are still required to provide login credentials to Exegy in order to receive the data. Third, the programmed use of the Citi-ONE data feeds by the CGMI algos and/or the SOR (i.e., to make efficient real-time decisions regarding where to route orders generated based on the underlying logic of the algos and/or SOR, including whether to route orders to Citi-ONE, and the size and price conditions of orders sent to Citi-ONE) was subject to appropriate development and testing. The CGMI algos and/or SOR are not programmed to use the Citi-ONE data feeds for any other purposes, such as when performing risk checks or undergoing transaction cost analysis. THIRD-PARTY ACCESS AND INFORMATION BARRIERS Ocean and Nasdaq employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI include Ocean and Nasdaq staff from Compliance, Operations, Technology Development (including trading and surrounding systems), Product Management, and Business Management (collectively, "Ocean employees"). These persons have access to Citi-ONE CTI consisting of individual orders and matches, client identifiers of Participants, and volume of orders pertaining to Citi-ONE. Ocean's policies and procedures employ a three-pronged approach to permission access to Citi-ONE. First, an employee must complete compliance training specific to the Ocean business unit responsible for Ocean's Citi-ONE activities. Second, an Ocean employee must request, and Ocean Compliance must approve, access to each specific Ocean system based on the employee's designated role and responsibilities. Third, once approved, the Ocean employee must complete Ocean's annual compliance training. Ocean employees with access to Citi-ONE CTI are subject to Ocean's Information Barriers and Conflict Management Policies and Procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, Ocean employees are prohibited from sharing Citi-ONE CTI with other employees (including at Nasdaq) who are not expressly authorized to receive such information. All Ocean employees are subject to Nasdaq's Global Trading Policy ("GTP"), which outlines all requirements and restrictions related to personal trading activity including holding periods, annual attestations, IPO restrictions, and a prohibited list. Ocean employees are required to disclose personal investment and brokerage accounts, positions, and transactions to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's Global Ethics Team monitors personal trading activities against the GTP. Ocean also conducts electronic communications reviews to identify policy violations including noncompliance with the above-referenced policies and procedures. CGMI has the right to audit Ocean's operation of Citi-ONE, including Ocean's access to and use of Citi-ONE CTI either through audits conducted by CGMI's own audit team or by third-party auditors. Such audits may be conducted on-site or off-site. Ocean also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Ocean outsources Consolidated Audit Trail submission responsibilities on behalf of Citi-ONE to S3. Accordingly, certain S3 employees have access to Citi-ONE CTI. Such access is limited to S3 employees who require it to complete S3's contractual work for Ocean on behalf of Citi-ONE. Such access approval is granted by S3 consistent with S3's policies and procedures regarding information security and data confidentiality. S3 personnel with access to Citi-ONE CTI must complete training and sign an acknowledgment regarding handling of confidential information. S3 conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized S3 employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). S3 also is obligated to notify CGMI of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to confidential information, which includes Citi-ONE CTI, in a timely manner. Exegy employees can gain access to the Citi-ONE CTI only with proper Exegy approvals. Approval is only granted to Exegy employees who require such access to complete Exegy's contractual work for CGMI, such as monitoring, maintaining, and incident troubleshooting with respect to the data provided by Exegy to CGMI. Such access approval is granted by Exegy senior management, and a record of approval is automatically and securely maintained for future audit purposes. Exegy conducts audits each quarter to confirm that only authorized Exegy employees have been granted access and that access is used only as required to complete Citi-ONE-related services. The results of audits are documented and a written attestation is provided to the Citi-ONE ATS Supervisor (or approved Series 24 Delegate). If remedial actions are required, they are taken within 24 hours and the audit results are updated and applicable records are maintained. All violations of the Exegy policy are reported to senior Exegy executive management and the employee(s) are subject to discipline, including potential termination.

Citi-ONE is open for trading on the days that the national stock exchanges are open for trading, and Citi-ONE will observe the holidays and other closings of the exchanges. Citi-ONE operates three trading sessions - (i) the Regular Trading Session ("RTS"), during which Firm Regular Session ("FRS") Orders and Conditional Orders ("COs") including their associated Firm-up Orders may be matched; (ii) the Market on Close Session ("MOCS), during which Market on Close ("MOC) Orders for Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates may be matched (see Part III, Item 17); and (iii) the Trajectory Cross Session, during which TCCOs for Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates may be matched (see Part III, Item 9). These order types ("Order Classes") are defined and described further in Part III, Item 7. The hours for the RTS, MOCS, and Trajectory Cross Session are identified below. In addition, Citi-ONE will be open (though not accepting orders) for operational purposes only until 5:00 PM ET. REGULAR TRADING SESSION AND TRAJECTORY CROSS SESSION FRS Orders, Conditional Orders, MOC Orders, and TCCOs can be accepted by Citi-ONE beginning at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (ET). However, these orders, including any Firm-up Orders (all order categories are described in Part III, Item 7) will become eligible for matching in Citi-ONE only after the primary listing market has opened the NMS Stock and Citi-ONE has detected a limit up-limit down ("LULD") band for the particular NMS Stock. At 4:00 PM ET (or such earlier time in the event of a shortened trading day or early closure), any unmatched orders in Citi-ONE will be cancelled. Citi-ONE has discretion to close or not to open Citi-ONE (in whole or in part) in the event of a market disruption, technological, or other issue. MARKET ON CLOSE SESSION Only MOC Orders in NMS Stocks may be entered for trading in the Citi-ONE MOCS. Citi-ONE allows Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates who have been enabled for the MOCS (see Part III, Item 17) to enter MOC Orders beginning at 8:30 AM ET until a pre-determined cut-off time ("MOC Cut-off Time"). The MOC Cut-off Time varies based on the relevant symbol's primary listing exchange. The MOC Cut-off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is AMEX or IEX is 3:49:00 PM ET. The MOC Cut-off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is Nasdaq is 3:54:00 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is ARCA is 3:58:30 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is BATS is 3:54:00 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is NYSE is 3:58:45 PM ET. Matching of MOC Orders occurs one second following the MOC Cut-off Time, after a report is sent indicating whether an order received a match and the share quantity that matched. In the event of a shortened trading day or early closure, Citi-ONE will follow the procedures/instructions of the primary listing exchange and the MOC Cut-off Time and time for matching of MOC Orders will be adjusted in response to those procedures/instructions (for a given exchange, the adjusted MOC Cut-off Time will be the same number of seconds in advance of the adjusted closure time as the regular MOC Cut-off Time is in advance of the regular closure time; and matching will occur one second after the adjusted MOC Cut-off Time). For information about when matched orders will receive execution prices (or cancellations, as applicable), see Part III, Item 17.

The MOC Cut-off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is Nasdaq is 3:54:00 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is ARCA is 3:58:30 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is BATS is 3:54:00 PM ET. The MOC Cut-Off Time for symbols for which the primary listing exchange is NYSE is 3:58:45 PM ET. Matching of MOC Orders occurs one second following the MOC Cut-off Time, after which Participants receive a report indicating whether they received a match and the share quantity that matched. In the event of a shortened trading day or early closure, Citi-ONE will follow the procedures/instructions of the primary listing exchange and the MOC Cut-off Time and time for matching of MOC Orders will be adjusted in response to those procedures/instructions (for a given exchange, the adjusted MOC Cut-off Time will be the same number of seconds in advance of the adjusted closure time as the regular MOC Cut-off Time is in advance of the regular closure time; and matching will occur one second after the adjusted MOC Cut-off Time). For information about when matched orders will receive execution prices (or cancellations, as applicable), see Part III, Item 17.

Citi-ONE does not display information to any Person(s) for the purposes of Rule 301(b)(3) of Regulation ATS. However, Citi-ONE, via Ocean and Exegy as described below, provides three real-time, continuous data feeds to CGMI's algos and SOR that contain aggregated and anonymized buy and sell information for resting FRS Orders from all Participants. These data feeds include symbol, side (buy or sell), total (aggregate) order quantity available at or within the NBBO across all Participants, and timestamp (of the snapshot included on each continuous data feed from Citi-ONE, not the timestamp of any individual order). The aggregate quantity is represented at three price levels within the NBBO on each side: the bid (buy and sell orders at the bid price), midpoint (buy and sell orders at the midpoint price), and offer (sell and buy orders at the offer price). Ocean provides aggregated and anonymized buy and sell information for Citi-ONE Participants' resting FRS Orders to third-party data feed provider, Exegy, and Exegy puts this information into three feeds that it delivers to the CGMI algos and SOR. In a situation where all of the interest within the NBBO on a given side of the market is reflected by a single Participant FRS Order, that FRS Order will still be included in the feeds. Although it cannot be aggregated, the feeds will not reflect that the interest is comprised of a single FRS Order, and the FRS Order will still be anonymized. CGMI's algos and SOR use the data in the feeds solely to make efficient real-time decisions regarding whether and when to route orders to Citi-ONE, and what price conditions and quantity to apply to those orders. Aggregated and anonymized FRS Order information is transmitted to the CGMI algos and SOR regardless of whether the FRS Orders included were sent to Citi-ONE directly or indirectly. Participants may not opt out of having their resting FRS Orders included in the data feeds. In addition, when a CO has a potential match, a "Firm-up Request" is sent requesting the originator of the CO to send a Firm-up Order. A Firm-up Request informs the recipient (the originator of the CO) that the opportunity to match exists and the quantity associated with the smaller of the two orders that triggered the potential match (either the two COs or the CO and Eligible FRS Order), but does not provide information on price of the contra-side order or whether the contra-side order is a CO or an Eligible FRS Order (as discussed in Part III, Item 9). The CGMI algos and/or SOR have knowledge of orders that CGMI sent to Citi-ONE on behalf of Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates.

CitiBLOC does not display its order book, publish a market data feed or provide any information with respect to COs bound for CitiBLOC. In the event of an opportunity for a single Subscriber's CO to purchase ("Potential Buyer") and another single Subscriber's CO to sell ("Potential Seller") to potentially cross, an Invitation to Firm-up, in the form of a FIX version 4.2 or 4.4 message ("Invitation to Firm-up"), is sent to both the Potential Buyer and Potential Seller. In circumstances where more than one CO on one side of the market ("Competing COs") can cross potentially with a CO on the other side of the market, an Invitation to Firm-Up is sent to (i) the single Competing CO with the highest priority of all the Competing COs on that side of the market (e.g. the Competing CO attributed with the highest Rank, or if there are multiple Competing COs attributed with the highest Rank, the Competing CO with the earliest Time of all the Competing COs attributed with the highest Rank) and (ii) the single Subscriber with the CO on the other side of the market. The Invitation to Firm-up to the Potential Buyer contains trade parameters and data in respect of the Potential Buyer only, and the Invitation to Firm-up to the Potential Seller contains trade parameters and data in respect of the Potential Seller only. Trade parameters and data contained in an Invitation to Firm-up in respect of a CO include (i) side, symbol, price, order quantity and minimum quantity with respect to the CO and (ii) Conditional Order ID (used to reference a FO), Order Status (cancelled), Exec Type (cancelled) and Transaction Time (used to begin the two (2) second firm-up window). CitiBLOC will not disclose the quantity specified in the CO of either Subscriber to the other Subscriber. An Invitation to Firm-up is valid for up to two seconds after the Invitation to Firm-up is sent to the Potential Buyer and Potential Seller. For the CO of any Subscriber that is entered directly into the CitiBLOC ATS, the Subscriber will receive the Invitation to Firm-up and make its own decision to firm-up. For any CO that is entered into the CitiBLOC ATS through one of CGMI's Algorithms, the Algorithm used to send such CO will receive the Invitation to Firm-up and make the decision to firm-up through an automated firm-up process. CGMI's Algorithms do not have access to any information about resident COs in CitiBLOC's order book other than those COs previously placed into the CitiBLOC ATS by CGMI's Algorithms.

Citi-ONE does not have order types specifically designated to match on the opening, does not conduct an opening auction, and does not otherwise have special procedures to match orders at the opening. Citi-ONE is available for trading on the days that the U.S. national securities exchanges are open for trading and will observe the holidays and other closings of the exchanges. Citi-ONE operates three trading sessions - the RTS, the MOCS (for Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates--not Direct Subscribers (see Part III, Item 17)), and the Trajectory Cross Session (for Indirect Subscribers, CGMI Business Units, and CGMI Affiliates--not Direct Subscribers (see Part III, Item 9)). FRS Orders and COs can be sent to Citi-ONE beginning at 8:30 AM ET for execution in Citi-ONE in the RTS when matching becomes available. Similarly, TCCOs can be sent to the Trajectory Cross Session beginning at 8:30 AM ET. Citi-ONE is officially open for matching NMS Stocks once the matching engine detects the primary listing exchange has opened the individual NMS Stock and Citi-ONE has detected a LULD band for the particular NMS Stock. See Part III, Item 4. Once Citi-ONE is available for matching, the standard prioritization and matching logic is applied to open and inbound orders. When determining time priority, Citi-ONE uses the order arrival timestamp (in nanoseconds; see Part III, Item 11(c)) for orders received between 8:30 AM ET and 9:30 AM ET. To determine price priority where the price condition depends on the market (i.e., peg condition), the price used is the Assigned Limit Price at the time the NMS Stock opens. After a stoppage/halt of trading in an NMS Stock during regular trading hours that automatically occurs because of a regulatory halt condition, see Part III, Item 20, Citi-ONE will wait until it detects that the primary listing exchange has re-opened the NMS Stock and the corresponding LULD bands are received before reopening the NMS Stock for matching on Citi-ONE. If the primary listing exchange does not re-open trading in an NMS Stock (or pricing information is unavailable) after a stoppage, Citi-ONE will not re-open and match orders in that NMS Stock. After any other pause or stoppage/halt, there are no special reopening process; matching will resume according to the standard process and priorities. MOC Orders can be sent to the MOCS from 8:30 AM ET through the MOC Cut-off Time, as defined in Part III, Item 4. MOC Orders are matched one second after the MOC Cut-off Time. Further information regarding Citi-ONE's MOCS is described in response to Part III, Item 17.

CitiBLOC begins trading each NMS stock after the opening of trading on the primary exchange for each NMS stock. Conditional Orders can be received at 9:30 A.M. EST, however will not become eligible for crossing until the primary listing market has opened the stock and CitiBLOC receives through the SIP a status code of "Open" and Limit Up-Limit Down ("LULD") bands. CitiBLOC does not conduct an opening or closing auction nor does it permit Subscribers to enter orders specifically designated to execute on the opening. The CitiBLOC crossing platform is configured to accept COs between 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST, unless shortened or modified hours are applicable. For any NMS Stock, CitiBLOC receives a normalized market data message from the SIP indicating that a symbol is "halted," "quote only" or "resumed for trading." CitiBLOC holds existing COs when a symbol is halted. CitiBLOC will accept cancellations and modifications to existing COs during a halt. CitiBLOC also accepts new COs during a trading halt. All COs are held until CitiBLOC receives a resumed for trading message from the SIP for a halted security. Subsequently, on receipt of quote data, COs will resume status and be handled in the same fashion as regular trading described above.
