Support of Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs)

        On December 13, 2007, the Company announced a commitment to provide support facilities to its Citi-advised Structured Investment Vehicles (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.

        On February 12, 2008, the Company finalized the terms of these support facilities, which take the form of a commitment to provide $3.5 billion of mezzanine capital to the SIVs. During March 2008, five of the six facilities were drawn in the aggregate amount of $3.4 billion.

        For the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded pretax trading account losses of $212 million related to these consolidated SIVs. See page 54 for further discussion.
