I have\nreviewed the prospectus relating to Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2026-MFAM1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series\n2026-MFAM1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-S, Class B and Class C (the “securities”) and am familiar with,\nin all material respects, the following: The characteristics of the securitized assets underlying the offering (the “securitized\nassets”), the structure of the securitization, and all material underlying transaction agreements as described in the prospectus;\n\n2. Based\non my knowledge, the prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to\nmake the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading;\n\n3. Based\non my knowledge, the prospectus and other information included in the registration statement of which it is a part fairly present, in\nall material respects, the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization and the risks of ownership of\nthe securities, including the risks relating to the securitized assets that would affect the cash flows available to service payments\nor distributions on the securities in accordance with their terms; and\n\n4. Based\non my knowledge, taking into account all material aspects of the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization,\nand the related risks as described in the prospectus, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the securitization is structured to\nproduce, but is not guaranteed by this certification to produce, expected cash flows at times and in amounts to service scheduled payments\nof interest and the ultimate repayment of principal on the securities (or other scheduled or required distributions on the securities,\nhowever denominated) in accordance with their terms as described in the prospectus.\n\nThe foregoing certifications are\ngiven subject to any and all defenses available to me under the federal securities laws, including any and all defenses available to an\nexecutive officer that signed the registration statement of which the prospectus referred to in this certification is part.\n\nDate: July 15, 2026\n\n/s/ Richard Simpson\n\nName: Richard Simpson\n\nTitle: President (chief executive officer)\n\n*CGCMT 2026-MFAM1 – Depositor CEO Certification*"}
