Vikram ResignationOn October 16, 2012, Pandit unexpectedly resigned as Citigroup CEO. Michael Corbat, previously Citigroup's CEO of Europe, Middle East, and Africa, was named as his replacement.Bloomberg News cited anonymous board sources indicating that Pandit was forced out by the board after eroding investor confidence and damaging company relations with regulators over an extended period. TheNew York Timeslater identified ChairmanMichael E. O'Neillas the driving force behind a months-long secret effort to oust Pandit, which culminated in a surprise ultimatum to Pandit stating that he must resign immediately, resign at the end of the year, or be fired.His resignation followed multiple payouts to investors during ongoing fraud allegation.About 55% of shareholders reject Pandit's $15 million 2011 pay package in a non-binding vote. Pandit would walk away with $7 million. CITIS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN OBJECTIVESCitis Compensation Philosophy includes designing compensation programs and structures that fulfill four primary objectives: 1) align compensation to shareholder interests; 2) manage risks to the firm by encouraging prudent decision-making; 3) implement evolving regulatory guidance; and 4) attract and retain the best talent to lead the Company to success.

DRIVERS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONRole of the Personnel and Compensation CommitteeThe committee is responsible for evaluating the performance of and determining the compensation structure for theCEOas well as for others in Citigroup. Each of the factors comprising the performance results are considered in determining each executives compensation. Formulaic approaches are not used to weight these factors, consistent with the committees and Citigroups belief that the adoption of any given formula could inadvertently encourage undesirable behavior (e.g., favoring one financial measure to the exclusion of other important values). Accordingly, each named executive officers incentive and retention compensation is determined using a balanced scorecard approach that considered, in the context of a competitive marketplace, factors contributing to the financial performance of Citigroup and the executives individual leadership.Basic Citi performance criteria used in evaluations - Citigroup and individual performance were measured by evaluating the following factors against actual performance :COMPENSATION OVERVIEW OF 2008-2010DRIVERS FOR COMPENSATION 2007-2010

The objective performance criteria listed above were a basis for determining incentive compensation, no specific performance targets were used in developing specific compensation recommendations, approving specific compensation amounts, or in any other aspect of Citis executive compensation process.The committee followed a similar process in evaluating the recommendations made by management regarding compensation for the Top 100. The same scorecard was used for the Top 100, except that executives in the Global Banking business used a more detailed scorecard that was tailored to the financial metrics used in that business. These metrics included information on percentage of overall industry fees, industry rankings, and volume metrics, by products.

APPENDIX C - TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) AND ITS EFFECT ON CITIGROUPGetting Out from Under the Special Masters Purview Was a Factor for Repayment of TARP Exceptional Assistance by Bank of America and Citigroup; exited in year 2009.The seven companies that received assistance that was exceptional because of the amount and the nature of their bailouts stood out from the more than 700 financial institutions in the Capital Purchase Program. Those seven companies were American International Group, Inc. (AIG), Bank of America Corporation (Bank of America), Citigroup Inc.(Citigroup), Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC (Chrysler Financial), Chrysler Holding LLC (Chrysler), General Motors Corporation (GM), and Ally Financial Inc.(Ally), formerly GMAC, Inc. The Special Masters authority was narrowly limited to setting pay for the Top 25 most highly paid employees at these companies, and approving compensation structures, rather than individual pay, for the next 75 most highly compensated employees.The Special Master worked under six principles developed by Treasury: (1) avoiding incentives to take risks; (2) keeping the company competitive and retaining and recruiting employees who would contribute to the companys success and its ability to repay TARP; (3) allocating compensation between salary and incentives; (4) basing pay on performance metrics; (5) setting compensation consistent with similar peers at similarly situated companies; and (6) setting compensation that reflects an employees contribution to the companys value.In proposing high pay packages based on historical pay prior to their bailout, the TARP companies failed to take into account the exceptional situation they had gotten themselves into that necessitated taxpayer bailout as Citigroup executives were highly paid than others in the industry.
