Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs)

On December 13, 2007, Citigroup announced a commitment to provide support facilities to its Citi-advised SIVs for the purpose of resolving the uncertainty regarding the SIVs’ senior debt ratings. As a result of this commitment, the Company consolidated the SIVs’ assets and liabilities onto Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 2007. This resulted in an increase of assets of $59 billion.

On February 12, 2008, Citigroup finalized the terms of these support facilities, which took the form of a commitment to provide $3.5 billion of mezzanine capital to the SIVs. The mezzanine capital facility was increased by $1.0 billion to $4.5 billion, with the additional commitment funded during the fourth quarter of 2008. During the period to November 18, 2008, Citigroup recorded $3.3 billion of trading account losses on SIV assets.

To complete the wind-down of the SIVs, Citigroup committed to purchase all remaining assets out of the SIV legal vehicles at fair value, with a trade date of November 18, 2008. Citigroup funded the purchase of the assets by assuming the obligation to pay amounts due under the medium-term notes issued by the SIVs as the notes mature. The assets purchased from the SIVs and the liabilities assumed by the Company were previously recognized at fair value on the Company’s balance sheet due to the consolidation of the SIV legal vehicles in December 2007.

The net cash funding provided by Citigroup for the asset purchase was $0.3 billion. As of December 31, 2008, the balance for these repurchased SIV assets totaled $16.6 billion, of which $16.5 billion is classified as held to maturity. See “Structured Investment Vehicles” on page 15 for a further discussion.
