Citigroup (C)

Legal Settlements and Charges for Enron and WorldCom Class Action Litigations and for Other Regulatory and Legal Matters

        The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of alleged misconduct in connection with:

(i)

underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom;



(ii)

underwritings for Enron and other transactions and activities related to Enron;



(iii)

transactions and activities related to research coverage of companies other than WorldCom; and



(iv)

transactions and activities related to the IPO Securities Litigation.

        During the 2004 second quarter, in connection with the settlement of the WorldCom class action, the Company re-evaluated and increased its reserves for these matters. The Company recorded a charge of $7.915 billion ($4.95 billion after-tax) relating to (i) the settlement of class action litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities, and (ii) an increase in litigation reserves for the other matters described above. Subject to the terms of the WorldCom class action settlement, and its eventual approval by the courts, the Company will make a payment of $2.57 billion pretax to the WorldCom settlement class. In addition, subject to the terms of the Enron class action settlement, and its eventual approval by the courts, the Company will make a payment of $2.01 billion pretax to the Enron settlement class.

        During the fourth quarter of 2005, in connection with an evaluation of these matters and as a result of the favorable resolution of certain WorldCom/Research litigation matters, the Company re-evaluated its reserves for these matters and released $600 million ($375 million after-tax) from this reserve. As of December 31, 2005, the Company's litigation reserve for these matters, net of settlement amounts previously paid, the amounts to be paid upon final approval of the WorldCom and Enron class action settlements and other settlements arising out of the matters above not yet paid, and the $600 million release that was recorded during the 2005 fourth quarter, was approximately $3.3 billion.

        The Company believes that this reserve is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, the novel issues presented, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and seek to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interests of the Company.

        The Company continues to evaluate its reserves on an ongoing basis. See Legal Proceedings on page 175.

Acquisition of Federated Credit Card Portfolio and Credit Card Agreement With Federated Department Stores

        On June 2, 2005, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to enter into a long-term agreement with Federated Department Stores, Inc. (Federated) under which the companies will partner to manage Federated's credit card business, including existing and new accounts.

        Under the agreement Citigroup will acquire Federated's approximately $6.3 billion credit card receivables portfolio in three phases. For the first phase, which closed on October 24, 2005, Citigroup acquired Federated's receivables under management, totaling approximately $3.3 billion. For the second phase, additional Federated receivables, which total approximately $1.2 billion, are expected to be transferred to Citigroup in the 2006 second quarter from the current provider. For the final phase, Citigroup expects to acquire, in the 2006 third quarter, the approximately $1.8 billion credit card receivable portfolio of The May Department Stores Company (May), which recently merged with Federated.

        Citigroup is paying a premium of approximately 11.5% to acquire each of the portfolios. The multi-year agreement also provides Federated the ability to participate in the portfolio based on credit sales and certain other performance metrics of the portfolio after the receivable sale is completed.

        The Federated and May credit card portfolios comprise a total of approximately 17 million active accounts.

Legal Settlements and Charges for Enron and WorldCom Class Action
Litigations and for Other Regulatory and Legal Matters

        On June 10, 2005, Citigroup announced that it had agreed to a settlement in the Enron class action litigation Newby, et al. v. Enron Corp., et al., currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Under the terms of the settlement, Citigroup will make a pretax payment of $2.01 billion to the settlement class, which consists of all purchasers of all publicly traded equity and debt securities issued by Enron and Enron-related entities between September 9, 1997 and December 2, 2001. As noted below, this settlement, which is subject to court approval, is fully covered by Citigroup's existing litigation reserves.

        The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of alleged misconduct in connection with:

(i)

underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom;



(ii)

underwritings for Enron and other transactions and activities related to Enron and Dynegy;



(iii)

transactions and activities related to research coverage of companies other than WorldCom; and



(iv)

transactions and activities related to the IPO Securities Litigation.

        During the 2004 second quarter, in connection with the settlement of the WorldCom class action, the Company reevaluated and increased its reserves for these matters. The Company recorded a charge of $7.915 billion ($4.95 billion after-tax) relating to (i) the settlement of class action litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities, and (ii) an increase in litigation reserves for the other matters described above (WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge). Subject to the terms of the WorldCom class action settlement, and its eventual approval by the courts, the Company will make a payment of $2.575 billion, or $1.59 billion after-tax, to the WorldCom settlement class. Subject to the terms of the Enron class action settlement, and its eventual approval by the courts, the Company will make a payment of $2.01 billion (pretax) to the Enron settlement class. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's litigation reserve for these matters, net of the amounts to be paid upon final approval of the WorldCom and Enron class action settlements and other settlements arising out of the matters above not yet paid, was approximately $3.9 billion on a pretax basis.

        The Company believes that this reserve is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, the novel issues presented, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and seek to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interests of the Company.

        The Company continues to evaluate its reserves on an ongoing basis.
