Sale of Travelers Life & Annuity and Substantially All International Insurance Businesses

        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 and 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. This gain remains subject to final closing adjustments.

        The 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 Retail Banking). International operations included wholly owned insurance companies in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Poland; joint ventures in Japan and Hong

Kong; and offices in China. The transaction also included Citigroup's Argentine pension business. (The transaction described in the preceding three paragraphs is referred to herein as the Sale of the Life Insurance and Annuities Business).

        In connection with the Sale of the Life Insurance and Annuities Business, Citigroup and MetLife have entered into ten-year agreements under which Travelers Life & Annuity products will be made available through certain Citigroup distribution channels, subject to appropriate suitability and other standards. In addition, MetLife products will be added to these distribution channels.

        Also included in the sales agreement between Citigroup and MetLife are provisions related to transitional services that will be provided for a period of 24 to 30 months. These transitional service provisions may be terminated or extended. The costs associated with these provisions are not considered to be significant.

        Results for all of the businesses included in the Sale of the Life Insurance and Annuities Business, including the gain that was recorded this quarter, are reported as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented. The unrealized gain on the MetLife securities from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005, are included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity within "Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources" (net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, net of tax).
