Citigroup (C)

Sale of Nikko Cordial Securities

        On October 1, 2009, Citigroup completed the sale of its domestic Japanese domestic securities business, conducted principally through Nikko Cordial Securities Inc. (NCS) to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation in a transaction with a total cash value of approximately $8.7 billion (¥776 billion). The transaction will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. After considering the impact of foreign exchange hedges of the proceeds of the transaction (most of which has been recorded in the second and third quarters of 2009), the sale will result in an immaterial after-tax gain to Citigroup.

        Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the results of NCS and its related companies are reflected as Discontinued Operations in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2009, assets of $23.6 billion and liabilities of $16.0 billion are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Assets/ Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale", respectively, including $3.8 billion of identifiable goodwill and intangibles.
