This excerpt taken from the C 8-K filed Jul 15, 2009. Bill Rhodes: Mr.
Rhodes is the Senior International Officer for Citi. He has specific
responsibilities for client relationships worldwide, as well as for
relationships with governments and other official institutions.
Mr.
Rhodes gained a reputation for international financial diplomacy in the 1980s as
a result of his leadership in helping manage the external-debt crisis that
involved developing nations and their creditors worldwide. During that period
and in the 1990s, he headed the advisory committees of international banks that
negotiated debt-restructuring agreements for Argentina, Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico,
Peru, and Uruguay. In 1998, when the Republic of Korea experienced liquidity
problems, he chaired the international bank group that negotiated the extension
of short-term debt of the Korean banking system. In early 1999, at the request
of the government of Brazil, he acted as worldwide coordinator to help implement
the maintenance of trade and inter-bank lines by foreign commercial banks to
Brazil.
