June 28, 2018

Mexico City & New York – Citibanamex, a subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), and Chubb Seguros México, an affiliate of Chubb Limited (NYSE:CB), announced today a definitive long-term agreement whereby Chubb will offer a broad range of non-life insurance products to Citibanamex's consumer bank clients in Mexico, subject to regulatory approvals.

Under the terms of the agreement, Citibanamex will distribute Chubb non-life insurance products through Citibanamex branches and a variety of digital and direct marketing channels. The agreement encompasses property and casualty (P&C) coverages for auto, home, individuals and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), accident and health (A&H) insurance products, and commercial P&C coverages for larger businesses. Citibanamex and Chubb have also entered into a separate agreement covering surety, whereby Chubb will market surety products to Citibanamex commercial customers. The consumer and small business products will be distributed under Chubb's well-known Mexican brand, ABA Productos. Citibanamex and Chubb expect to commence distribution in early 2019.

The agreement is part of Citi's emphasis on expanding access to best-in-class products and offerings, complementing the life insurance products offered by Citibanamex Seguros.
