This excerpt taken from the C DEF 14A filed Mar 20, 2009. Directors
Compensation
Directors compensation is determined by the board. Since
its initial public offering in 1986, Citi has paid outside
directors all or a portion of their compensation in common
stock, to ensure that the directors have an ownership interest
in common with other stockholders. The nomination and governance
committee makes recommendations to the board with respect to
compensation of directors. The committee periodically reviews
benchmarking assessments in order to determine the level of
compensation to attract qualified candidates for board service
and to reinforce our practice of encouraging stock ownership by
our directors. In 2008, the committee reviewed the current
compensation program and determined that no changes were
required. Effective January 1, 2005, the last time director
compensation was adjusted, non-employee directors, other than
Mr. Hernández, who, except as described below, has
waived receipt of compensation for his services as a director,
receive an annual cash retainer of $75,000 and a deferred stock
award valued at $150,000. The deferred stock award is granted on
the same date that annual incentives are granted to the senior
executives. The deferred stock
award vests on the second anniversary of the date of the grant,
and directors may elect to defer receipt of the award beyond
that date. Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of
their deferred stock award and cash retainer in the form of
common stock, and directors may elect to defer receipt of this
common stock. Directors also may elect to receive their cash
retainer in the form of an option to purchase shares of Citi
common stock. Stock options are also granted on the same date
that stock options are granted to the senior executives. The
options vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of
the grant date and expire six years after the grant date.
Beginning in 2009, directors may no longer elect to receive
stock options.
Directors who are employees of Citi or its subsidiaries do not
receive any compensation for their services as directors.
Except as described below, directors receive no additional
compensation for participation on board committees or
subcommittees. Committee and subcommittee chairs receive
additional compensation of $15,000 per year, except for the
chairs of the audit and risk management committee and each
subcommittee thereof, who receive additional compensation of
$35,000 per year. This additional compensation is paid in the
same manner as the annual cash retainer, but directors may not
elect stock options for this portion of their fee. Additional
compensation for special assignments may be determined on a case
by case basis. On January 1, 2009, Messrs. Deutch,
Ricciardi and Ryan were elected to the Citibank, N.A. Board of
Directors and each will receive $50,000 as an annual retainer
for his service. Citibank, N.A. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Citi.
Citi reimburses its board members for expenses incurred in
attending board and committee meetings or performing other
services for Citi in their capacities as directors. Such
expenses include food, lodging and transportation.
