PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS

        The Company has several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees and has various defined benefit pension and termination indemnity plans covering employees outside the United States. The U.S.-defined benefit plan provides benefits under a cash balance formula. Employees satisfying certain age and service requirements remain covered by a prior final pay formula. The Company also offers postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible U.S. retired employees, as well as to certain eligible employees outside the United States.

        The following table shows the pension expense and contributions for Citigroup's U.S. and foreign plans:

 
  U.S. Plans
  Non-U.S. Plans
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
  In Millions of Dollars

Pension Expense   $ 196   $ 101   $ 24   $ 185   $ 158   $ 133
Company contributions(1)(2)     400     500     500     524     279     695

(1)
In 2002, the Company's contributions consisted of $500 million of Citigroup common stock and $695 million in cash.

(2)
In addition, the Company absorbed $18 million, $12 million and $41 million during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, relating to certain investment management fees and administration costs, which are excluded from this table.

        Citigroup common stock comprised 1.2%, 6.45%, and 7.87% of the U.S. plan's assets at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The Citigroup U.S. Pension Plan sold approximately $500 million of Citigroup common stock in January of 2004.

        The following table shows the combined postretirement expense and contributions for Citigroup's U.S. and foreign plans:

 
  U.S. & Non-U.S. Plans
 
  2004
  2003
  2002
 
  In millions of dollars

Postretirement expense   $ 75   $ 97   $ 105
Company Contributions     216     166     226

        All U.S. qualified plans and the funded foreign plans are generally funded to the amounts of the accumulated benefit obligations. Net pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 for the U.S. plans is expected to increase by approximately $30 million primarily as a result of lower discount rates. Net pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 for the U.S. plans increased by $95 million and $77 million, respectively, as a result of the amortization of unrecognized net actuarial losses, lower discount rates, a lower expected return on assets assumption beginning in 2003, and for 2004, an updated mortality table. As the foreign pension plans all use the fair value of plan assets, their pension expense will be directly affected by the actual performance of the plans' assets.
