7.     RESTRUCTURING

        In the fourth quarter of 2008, Citigroup recorded a pretax restructuring expense of $1.581 billion related to the implementation of a Company-wide re-engineering plan. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, Citigroup recorded a pretax net restructuring release of $34 million composed of a gross charge of $12 million and a credit of $46 million due to changes in estimates. The charges related to the 2008 Re-engineering Projects Restructuring Initiative are reported in the Restructuring line on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income and are recorded in each segment.

        In 2007, the Company completed a review of its structural expense base in a Company-wide effort to create a more streamlined organization, reduce expense growth, and provide investment funds for future growth initiatives. As a result of this review, a pretax restructuring charge of $1.4 billion was recorded in Corporate/Other during the first quarter of 2007. Additional net charges of $151 million were recognized in subsequent quarters throughout 2007, and net releases of $31 million and $3 million in 2008 and 2009, due to changes in estimates. The charges related to the 2007 Structural Expense Review Restructuring Initiative are reported in the Restructuring line on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income.

        The primary goals of the 2008 Re-engineering Projects Restructuring Initiative and the 2007 Structural Expense Review Restructuring Initiative were:

    eliminate layers of management/improve workforce management;

    consolidate certain back-office, middle-office and corporate functions;

    increase the use of shared services;

    expand centralized procurement; and

    continue to rationalize operational spending on technology.

        The implementation of these restructuring initiatives also caused certain related premises and equipment assets to become redundant. The remaining depreciable lives of these assets were shortened, and accelerated depreciation charges began in the second quarter of 2007 and fourth quarter of 2008 for the 2007 and 2008 initiatives, respectively, in addition to normal scheduled depreciation.

7.     Restructuring

        During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed a review of its structural expense base in a Company-wide effort to create a more streamlined organization, reduce expense growth and provide investment funds for future growth initiatives.

        The primary goals of the 2007 Structural Expense Review are as follow:

    Eliminate layers of management/improve workforce management;

    Consolidate certain back-office, middle-office and corporate functions;

    Increase the use of shared services;

    Expand centralized procurement; and

    Continue to rationalize operational spending on technology.

        In March 2007, Citigroup recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1.377 billion in accordance with SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). This pronouncement permits charges recorded under other accounting standards to be presented along with those recorded under SFAS 146 in a separate line, Restructuring expense, on the Consolidated Statement of Income, provided those costs are incurred in connection with a restructuring event. The charge included $961 million related to employee severance, of which $950 million is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 112, "Employer's Accounting for Post Employment Benefits" (SFAS 112), and $11 million accounted for in accordance with SFAS 146, $352 million related to the write-down to estimated salvage value of assets available for disposal accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144), $25 million related to exiting leasehold and other contractual obligations, and $39 million related to other costs (including employee termination costs). The severance costs reflect the accrual to eliminate approximately 17,300 positions, after considering attrition and redeployment within the Company.

        The implementation of these restructuring initiatives also caused certain related premises and equipment assets to become redundant. The remaining depreciable lives of these assets were shortened, and accelerated depreciation charges will begin in the second quarter of 2007 in addition to normal scheduled depreciation.

        Additional charges totaling approximately $200 million, pre-tax, are anticipated to be recorded by the end of 2007.

        Separate from the restructuring charge, additional implementation costs related to these initiatives of approximately $100 million pretax are expected throughout 2007.

        The status of the 2007 Structural Expense Review is summarized in the following table:
