Additional Issuance of $20 Billion of Perpetual Preferred Stock and a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock under TARP

        On December 31, 2008, Citigroup raised an additional $20 billion through the sale of non-voting perpetual, cumulative preferred stock and a warrant to purchase common stock to the UST as part of TARP. All of the proceeds were treated as Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes.

        The preferred stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $20 billion and an annual dividend rate of 8%. Dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly in cash. Of the $20 billion in cash proceeds, $19.5 billion was allocated to preferred stock and $0.5 billion to the warrant on a relative fair value basis. The discount on the preferred stock will not be accreted and will only be recognized as a preferred dividend (reduction of Retained earnings) at the time of redemption. The warrant has a term of 10 years, an exercise price of $10.61 per share and is exercisable for approximately 188.5 million common shares. The value ascribed to the warrant was recorded in Citigroup's stockholders' equity and resulted in an increase in Additional paid-in capital.

        The issuance of the warrants in October and December 2008, as well as other common stock issuances, resulted in a conversion price reset of the $12.5 billion of 7% convertible preferred stock sold in a private offering in January 2008. See "Events in 2009," "Capital Resources" and Note 13 for a further discussion. As previously disclosed, Citi will continue to pay full dividends on the preferred stock up to and including the closing of the public exchange offers, at which point the dividends will be suspended.

        For both the October 2008 and December 2008 issuances under TARP, the proceeds were allocated between the preferred stock and warrants on a relative fair value basis. The fair value for the preferred stock was calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows were based on the stated dividend rate on the preferred stock. The discount rate was selected from the range of observable yield to maturities based on the secondary trading prices for similar instruments issued by Citigroup. The fair value for the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation was based on the Citigroup stock price, stock volatility, dividend yield, and the risk free rate on the measurement date for both the issuances.
