Investigations of Euro Zone Government Bonds Trade

        On August 2, 2004, Citigroup Global Markets Limited executed certain large trades in Euro Zone Government bonds in London that were carried out on the MTS trading platform. On August 19, 2004, the UK Financial Services Authority commenced an enforcement investigation into certain aspects of these trades. Other European regulators have also commenced similar investigations. The German regulator, BaFin, referred the results of its investigation into the trades to prosecutors for possible prosecution against employees of the Company. The German prosecutors have declined to take any action against the employees and the BaFin declined to pursue the matter. Eurex found the firm not liable on the substantive charge but found the firm liable for a registration violation. Citigroup is cooperating with these investigations.
