Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On October 26, 2008, Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"), one of the initial nine
institutions participating in the U.S. Department of the Treasury's previously
announced TARP Capital Purchase Program, signed an agreement to issue to the
Treasury $25 billion of its perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase
common stock. The transaction settled on October 28, 2008.
All of the proceeds will be treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory
purposes. Taking this issuance into account, on a pro forma basis, at
September 30, 2008, Citigroup's Tier One capital ratio would have been
approximately 10.4%.
The Securities Purchase Agreement and the preferred stock contain
limitations on certain actions by Citigroup, including but not limited to
payments of dividends, redemptions and acquisitions of equity securities, and
compensation of senior executive officers. You should refer to the documents
incorporated herein by reference for a complete description of these
limitations.
On October 27, 2008, Citigroup filed a Certificate of Designations
establishing the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of a
new series of Citigroup fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series
H. The Certificate of Designations amended Citigroup's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and was effective immediately upon filing.
The Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock is being filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K, the Warrant is being filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this
Form 8-K, the Letter Agreement is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K,
the Securities Purchase Agreement Standard Terms are being filed as Exhibit 10.2

warrant is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. These documents are
