Citigroup (C)

Citigroup's Debt Ratings as of December 31, 2005

        The outlook for all Citigroup Inc. and Citigroup Funding Inc. debt ratings is "stable." Moody's Investors Service assigned a "positive" outlook to the long-term rating for Citibank, N.A. in December, 2005. The outlook for all other Citibank, N.A. ratings is "stable."

        Some of Citigroup's affiliates have credit facilities outstanding. Details of these facilities can be found in Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 136.

        Some of Citigroup's nonbank subsidiaries, including CGMHI, have credit facilities with Citigroup'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 obtain credit from banking subsidiaries or engage in certain other transactions with them. In general, these restrictions require that transactions be on arms-length terms and be 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, 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. Particular attention is paid to those businesses that for tax, sovereign risk, or regulatory reasons cannot be freely and readily funded in the international markets.
