Stock Option Programs

        The Company has a number of stock option programs for its directors, officers and employees. Generally, since January 2005, stock options have been granted only to CAP participants who elect to receive stock options in lieu of restricted or deferred stock awards, and to non-employee directors who elect to receive their compensation in the form of a stock option grant. All stock options are granted on Citigroup common stock with exercise prices equal to the fair market value at the time of grant. Options granted since 2003 have six-year terms; directors' options vest after two years and all other options granted since January 2005 typically vest 25% each year over four years. Options granted in 2004 and 2003 typically vest in thirds each year over three years, with the first vesting date occurring 17 months after the grant date.    The sale of underlying shares acquired through the exercise of employee stock options granted since January 2003 is restricted for a two-year period (and the shares are subject to the stock ownership commitment of senior executives thereafter). Prior to 2003, Citigroup options, including options granted since the date of the merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group, Inc., generally vested at a rate of 20% per year over five years, with the first vesting date occurring 12 to 18 months following the grant date. Certain options, mostly granted prior to January 1, 2003, permit an employee exercising an option under certain conditions to be granted new options (reload options) in an amount equal to the number of common shares used to satisfy the exercise price and the withholding taxes due upon exercise. The reload options are granted for the remaining term of the related original option and vest after six months. An option may not be exercised using the reload method unless the market price on the date of exercise is at least 20% greater than the option exercise price.

        To further encourage employee stock ownership, the Company's eligible employees participate in WealthBuilder, CitiBuilder, or the Citigroup Ownership Program. Options granted under the WealthBuilder and the Citigroup Ownership programs vest over a five-year period, whereas options granted under the CitiBuilder program vest after five years. These options do not have a reload feature. Options have not been granted under these programs since 2002.

Stock Option Programs

        The Company has a number of stock option programs for its directors, officers and employees. Options are granted on Citigroup common stock at the market value at the time of grant. Options granted in 2004 and 2003 typically vest 33% each year for three years, with the first vesting date occurring 17 months after the grant date. The options granted in 2004 and 2003 have a term of six years. Also, the sale of underlying shares acquired through the exercise of options granted in 2004 and 2003 is restricted for a two-year period. Prior to 2003, options were granted for a period of ten years. Generally, prior to 2003, Citigroup options, including options granted under Travelers' predecessor plans and options granted since the date of the merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group Inc., vest at a rate of 20% per year, with the first vesting date generally occurring 12 to 18 months following the grant date. Generally, 50% of the options granted under Citicorp predecessor plans prior to the merger were exercisable beginning on the third anniversary and 50% beginning on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted under Associates' predecessor plans vested in 2001 at the time of the merger with Citigroup. Certain options, mostly granted prior to January 1, 2003, permit an employee exercising an option under certain conditions to be granted new options (reload options) in an amount equal to the number of common shares used to satisfy the exercise price and the withholding taxes due upon exercise. The reload options are granted for the remaining term of the related original option and vest after six months.

        To further encourage employee stock ownership, the Company's eligible employees participate in WealthBuilder, CitiBuilder, or the Citigroup Ownership Program. Options granted under the WealthBuilder and the Citigroup Ownership program vest over a five-year period, whereas options granted under the CitiBuilder program vest after five years. These options do not have a reload feature. Beginning in 2003, new options are no longer being granted under these programs.

        The Company redesigned its equity incentive programs for the 2004 compensation year. In January 2005, equity incentive awards were granted to eligible employees in the form of restricted or deferred stock under the Capital Accumulation Program (CAP), and stock options are only granted to CAP participants who elect to receive them. The stock options carry the same vesting period as the restricted or deferred stock awards, have a six-year term and an exercise price equal to 100% of fair market value on the grant date.
