This excerpt taken from the C DEF 14A filed Mar 20, 2009. The
Capital Accumulation Plan
None of the January 2009 awards made to the named executive
officers were made pursuant to the terms of
cap; however, the
Summary Compensation Table shows certain amortization charges
for cap awards
made in prior years to the named executive officers. The Grants
of Plan-Based Awards Table also shows that some stock awards
were made to the named executive officers under
cap in January
2008.
The incentive and retention awards made to the named executive
officers under cap
in 2008 consisted generally of a core
cap award and a
supplemental cap
award. Core cap
awards for 2008 were discounted 25 percent from market
value and typically represented 25 percent of the
executives total incentive compensation. The additional
shares that were awarded as a result of the discount are
referred to as premium cap

shares. Supplemental
cap awards were
not discounted and represented 15 percent of the
executives total incentive compensation.
cap is available
to all Citi employees whose incentive awards exceed a certain
threshold (in 2008, $20,000 for U.S. employees and
approximately $40,000 to $45,000 for
non-U.S. employees;
in 2009 the threshold was raised to $100,000 for all employees
worldwide). The discount feature was eliminated for 2009 and
future awards. cap
awards vest 25 percent per year over a four-year period,
and are cancelled upon a voluntary termination of employment
unless the recipient has met certain age and years of service
requirements. Following the vesting of each portion of a
cap award, the
freely transferable shares (subject only to the Citi Stock
Ownership Commitment) are delivered to the
cap participants.
cap awards are
granted as a part of incentive and retention compensation to a
select group of Citis global workforce. Approximately
74,500,000 shares were awarded to approximately
6,200 employees in 62 countries around the world under
cap in January
2009 in respect of 2008 performance. Of the total number of
cap shares granted
in January 2009, none were granted to the named executive
officers.
While cap awards
are generally intended to be made in the form of restricted
stock, awards to participants who meet certain age and years of
service rules or who are residents of certain countries are made
in the form of deferred stock. With respect to awards of
restricted stock, as of the date of award, the recipient may
direct the vote and receives dividend equivalents on the
underlying shares. With respect to awards of deferred stock, the
recipient receives dividend equivalents but does not have voting
rights with respect to the shares until the shares are
delivered. The dividend equivalent payment is the same amount as
the dividend paid on shares of Citi common stock. In 2008 the
named executive officers received the following amounts as
dividend equivalents on nonvested restricted or deferred stock
(note that not all Citi
equity awards provide for payment of dividend equivalents on
nonvested shares):
Employees who received
cap awards prior
to January 2009 may have elected to receive all or a
portion of the award in nonqualified stock options, in
25 percent increments, rather than restricted or deferred
stock. The options shown in the Summary Compensation Table for
Mr. Banga and Mr. Forese are option grants made in
prior years pursuant to this stock option election. The options
vest on the same schedule as the restricted or deferred stock
award, have a six-year term, and, under the stockholder-approved
1999 Stock Incentive Plan, have an exercise price no less than
100 percent of the closing price of a share of Citi common
stock on the nyse
on the trading date immediately preceding the date on
which the option was granted. If options are elected, an option
for four shares would be granted for each share by which the
restricted or deferred stock award is correspondingly reduced.
The committee has eliminated the stock option election for
future cap awards,
due to low utilization by employees and the relatively high cost
and complexity of administration.
The committee made incentive awards in January 2009 and in prior
years based on the fair value of the awards and not on the
accounting treatment of those or prior awards in Citis
financial statements under
sfas 123(r)
or other applicable accounting standards. The table in the
Awards Made by the Committee section of the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis contains the grant date fair value of
equity awards granted to each named executive officer in January
2009.

This excerpt taken from the C DEF 14A filed Mar 13, 2008. The Capital Accumulation Plan The restricted and deferred stock awards described in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table granted under CAP in January 2007 were awarded in respect of performance for 2006. For the January 2008 performance awards in respect of 2007, three of the named executive officers received awards of either restricted or deferred stock under CAP, depending on the named executive officers age and years of service. The January 2008 awards to Sir Winfried were made in the form of deferred stock because he met an age and years of service rule (the Rule of 75) and because he was a resident of the U.K. The January 2008 awards to Mr. Crittenden and Ms. Krawcheck are awards of restricted stock because they have not met an age and years of service rule. While CAP awards are generally intended to be made in the form of restricted stock, awards to participants who meet
