        Citigroup's pension funding policy for U.S. plans and non-U.S. plans is generally to fund to applicable minimum funding requirements, rather than to the amounts of accumulated benefit obligations. For the U.S. plans, the Company may increase its contributions above the minimum required contribution under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), if appropriate to its tax and cash position and the plan's funded position. As of September 30, 2009, the Company contributions to the U.S. pension plan include $9 million relating to certain investment advisory fees that were paid by the Company. There were no minimum required contributions and no discretionary cash or non-cash contributions are currently planned for the U.S. plans. For the non-U.S. plans, the Company contributed $124 million as of September 30, 2009. Citigroup presently anticipates contributing an additional $113 million to fund its non-U.S. plans in 2009 for a total of $237 million.
