Citigroup Debt Ratings as of December 31, 2004

        The debt ratings of Citicorp and CGMHI at December 31, 2004 were identical to those shown above for Citigroup and the outlook for such debt ratings is "stable."

        Some of Citigroup's affiliates have credit facilities outstanding. Details of these facilities can be found in Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        Citicorp, CGMHI, and some of their nonbank subsidiaries have credit facilities with Citicorp's subsidiary banks, including Citibank, N.A. Borrowings under these facilities must be secured in accordance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding company and certain of its nonbank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from banking subsidiaries or engage in certain other transactions with or involving those banking subsidiaries. In general, these restrictions require that any such transactions must be on terms that would ordinarily be offered to unaffiliated entities and secured by designated amounts of specified collateral.

        Citigroup uses its liquidity to service debt obligations, to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, to fund acquisitions and to repurchase its shares in the market or otherwise, pursuant to Board-of-Directors approved plans.

        Each of Citigroup's major operating subsidiaries finances its operations on a basis consistent with its capitalization, regulatory structure and the environment in which it operates. Additional liquidity considerations for Citigroup's principal subsidiaries follow.
