Q: How can I submit my Proxy Instructions if I am a holder of Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities that is participating in the Exchange Offers?

A: If you are a holder of record of Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities and you wish to tender your securities in the Exchange Offers, then you need only comply with the requirements for participating in the Exchange Offers set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal to tender your securities and to give your Proxy Instructions to approve the Common Stock Amendments (which instructions will become irrevocable following expiration of the Exchange Offers).

By tendering your Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities in the Exchange Offers in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal, you irrevocably (i) agree and consent to all of the Common Stock Amendments, (ii) instruct BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, as trustee (the Voting Trustee) of the voting trust (the Voting Trust) established pursuant to the voting trust agreement, dated June 15, 2009 (the Voting Trust Agreement) to grant an irrevocable proxy to the individuals designated by Citigroup in the Voting Trust Agreement to execute a written consent to approve each of the Common Stock Amendments in respect of the common stock to be issued to you in the Exchange Offers (the Proxy Instructions), (iii) subject to and effective upon acceptance for exchange of your tendered Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities, agree to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement and (iv) acknowledge that by tendering your Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities, you will become a party to the Voting Trust Agreement. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Offers will be delivered to the Voting Trust on the settlement date of the Exchange Offers to be held in trust. The Voting Trustee, pursuant to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement, will execute and deliver a proxy in respect of such common stock to the individuals named in the Voting Trust Agreement to execute a written consent in favor of the Common Stock Amendments. The shares of common stock exchanged for your tendered Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities will thereafter within one business day be released from the Voting Trust and will be distributed to DTC for allocation to your account.

If you currently hold Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities that are held by a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares, and these proxy materials, together with the Prospectus, are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee. When you contact your bank, broker, custodian or other nominee promptly to instruct it to tender your Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities, you must also instruct it to give your Proxy Instructions and agree to be bound by the Voting Trust Agreement, in each case, pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal (which will result in your Proxy Instruction becoming irrevocable following the expiration date of the Exchange Offers).

We will not be holding a stockholders meeting to consider these proposals, and therefore you will be unable to vote by attending a stockholders meeting.
