Sale of the Life Insurance and Annuities Business

On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the sale of Citigroup’s Travelers Life & Annuity and substantially all of Citigroup’s international insurance businesses to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife).

During the first quarter of 2006, $15 million of the total $657 million federal tax contingency reserve release was reported in Discontinued operations as it related to the Life Insurance and Annuities business sold to MetLife.

In July 2006, Citigroup recognized an $85 million after-tax gain from the sale of MetLife shares. This gain was reported in income from continuing operations in ICG.

In July 2006, the Company received the final closing adjustment payment related to this sale, resulting in an after-tax gain of $75 million ($115 million pretax), which was recorded in Discontinued operations.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, a release of $42 million of deferred tax liabilities was reported in Discontinued operations as it related to the Life Insurance & Annuities business sold to MetLife.

In December 2008, the Company fulfilled its previously agreed upon obligations with regard to its remaining 10% economic interest in the long-term care business that it had sold to the predecessor of Genworth Financial in 2000. Under the terms of the 2005 sales agreement of Citi’s Life Insurance and Annuities business to MetLife, Citi agreed to reimburse MetLife for certain liabilities related to the sale of the long-term-care business to Genworth’s predecessor. The assumption of the final 10% block by Genworth at December 31, 2008, resulted in a pretax loss of $50 million ($33 million after-tax), which has been reported in Discontinued operations.

Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business

On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the sale of Citigroup’s Travelers Life & Annuity and substantially all of Citigroup’s international insurance businesses to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife). The businesses sold were the primary vehicles through which Citigroup engaged in the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.

Citigroup received $1.0 billion in MetLife equity securities and $10.830 billion in cash, which resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $2.120 billion ($3.386 billion pretax), which was reported in discontinued operations.

This transaction encompassed Travelers Life & Annuity’s U.S. businesses and its international operations other than Citigroup’s life insurance business in Mexico (which is now included within International Retail Banking).

During the first quarter of 2006, $15 million of the total $657 million federal tax contingency reserve release was reported in discontinued operations as it related to the Life Insurance & Annuities Business sold to MetLife.

In July 2006, Citigroup recognized an $85 million after-tax gain from the sale of MetLife shares. This gain was reported in income from continuing operations in the Alternative Investments business.

In July 2006, the Company received the final closing adjustment payment related to this sale, resulting in an after-tax gain of $75 million ($115 million pretax), which was recorded in discontinued operations.
