This excerpt taken from the C DEF 14A filed Mar 20, 2009. Recoupment
of Unearned Compensation
If the Board learns of any misconduct by an Executive Officer
that contributed to the Company having to restate all or a
portion of its financial statements, it shall take such action
as it deems necessary to remedy the misconduct, prevent its
recurrence and, if appropriate, based on all relevant facts and
circumstances, punish the wrongdoer in a manner it deems
appropriate. In determining what remedies to pursue, the Board
shall take into account all relevant factors, including whether
the restatement was the result of negligent, intentional or
gross misconduct. The Board will, to the full extent permitted
by governing law, in all appropriate cases, require
reimbursement of any bonus or incentive compensation awarded to
an Executive Officer or effect the cancellation of unvested
restricted or deferred stock awards previously granted to the
Executive Officer if: a) the amount of the bonus or
incentive compensation was calculated based upon the achievement
of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject
of a restatement, b) the executive engaged in intentional
misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the
restatement, and c) the amount of the bonus or incentive
compensation that would have been awarded to the executive had
the financial results been properly reported would have been
lower than the amount actually awarded. In addition, the Board
could dismiss the Executive Officer, authorize legal action for
breach of fiduciary duty or take such other action to enforce
the executives obligations to Citigroup as may fit the
facts surrounding the particular case. The Board may, in
determining the appropriate punishment factor take into account
penalties or punishments imposed by third parties, such as law
enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities. The
Boards power to determine the appropriate punishment for
the wrongdoer is in addition to, and not in replacement of,
remedies imposed by such entities.
For the purposes of this Guideline, Executive
Officer means any officer who has been designated an
executive officer by the Board.
