Ratings

Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust will issue the Class 2012-A1 notes only if they are rated by the following nationally recognized statistical rating organization as follows:

 

Fitch, Inc.

   AAAsf*  

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services

   AAA(sf)*  

A rating addresses the likelihood of the payment of interest on a note when due and the ultimate payment of principal of that note by its legal maturity date. A rating does not address the likelihood of payment of principal of a note on its scheduled principal payment date. In addition, a rating does not address the possibility of an early payment or acceleration of a note, which could be caused by an amortization event or an event of default. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold notes and may be subject to revision, withdrawal or qualification at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating is based on the corresponding rating agency’s independent evaluation of the receivables and the availability of any credit enhancement for the notes. Ratings will be monitored by the applicable rating agencies while the notes are outstanding and, in certain instances described herein, Citibank, N.A. or its affiliates may from time to time request the applicable rating agencies to confirm their ratings with respect to the notes. A rating, or a change, withdrawal or qualification of a rating, by one rating agency will not necessarily correspond to a rating, or a change, withdrawal or qualification of a rating, from any other rating agency.
