Nominating and Compensation Committees. Ms.&nbsp;Silcock&#146;s decision follows a Citigroup policy change
regarding service on boards of public companies. &#147;Julie&#146;s presence on the Board will be missed and
we wish her all the best in her continued success at Citigroup,&#148; said Jonathan Ornstein.
