Summary

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (CFG) filed an 8-K on February 25, 2021, to disclose that its Head of Consumer Banking, Brendan Coughlin, participated in the Credit Suisse Annual Financial Services Forum. This filing primarily serves to inform investors about the executive's participation in a public forum and that presentation materials were made available. Investors should note that while presentation slides were attached as an exhibit, this information is furnished under Item 7.01 and is not considered 'filed' for purposes of liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor will it be incorporated by reference into other SEC filings.
