Citi Prices Remarketing of 3.953% Senior Notes due June 15, 2016

Citi announced today the successful remarketing of $1.875 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities, representing the last of four series of debt securities required to be remarketed under the terms of Citi's Upper DECS Equity Units issued to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority in December 2007. Pursuant to the agreements governing the Upper DECS Equity Units, the interest rate on this fourth series of remarketed debt was reset to 3.953%. The remarketing will settle on June 15, 2011.

According to the terms of the Upper DECS Equity Units, and without giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by Citi on May 6, 2011, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is obligated to purchase a total of 235.6 million shares of Citi common stock, in four equal installments on March 15, 2010, September 15, 2010, March 15, 2011 and September 15, 2011, at a purchase price of $31.83 per share ($7.5 billion in total). The proceeds from this fourth remarketing will be used to satisfy the last stock purchase obligation on September 15, 2011. As a result of the one remaining required common stock purchase, Citi's Tier 1 Common and Tangible Common Equity is expected to increase by $1.875 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Citi's Tier 1 Capital will remain unchanged by the required stock purchase.

The terms of the Upper DECS Equity Units, including the remarketing and stock purchase requirements, were originally described by Citi in a press release and transaction summary filed on a Current Report of Form 8-K on November 27, 2007.
