In 2006, Transaction Services will work to grow revenues and earnings
organically while funding strategic investments. The recent investments in
funds services, cross-border payments and liquidity management will drive
some of this growth. The recent U.S. interest rate increases are expected to
have a positive impact on revenue; however, this may be partially offset by
industry-wide spread compression, especially in trade financing. Global
Securities Services is well positioned to capitalize on the momentum in the
global capital markets, especially in emerging markets.

GLOBAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK
Certain of the statements below are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See “Forward-
Looking Statements” on page 111.
Smith Barney —In 2006, Smith Barney expects to see continued asset
and revenue growth resulting from the 2005 investments in its wealth
management platform, as well as from the acquisition of the Legg Mason
private client business.
Investments are expected to continue in 2006 and will include expanded
fee-based services (wealth management, advisory, and liability management
among others) as well as selective recruiting and training of financial advisors.
In Citigroup Investment Research, major initiatives include strategically
expanding research coverage in targeted sectors, continuing expense
management, and refining the scope and management structure of the
global research platform.
Private Bank —In 2006, the Private Bank will continue to focus on
expansion in geographic markets, adding onshore offices and bankers in
India, Brazil, China, Mexico, the United Kingdom and select cities in North
America. Moreover, the Private Bank will continue to invest in building out
new product capabilities, maintain and expand successful partnerships with
other Citigroup entities, and develop its team of bankers.
In 2006, the Private Bank expects growth in recurring fee-based revenue
and transactional revenue to be partially offset by a decline in net interest
revenue due to the flat-yield-curve environment. Investments in origination,
product and onshore market build-outs will negatively affect net income
growth, as the associated revenues will trail the costs in the near term.

changes, as well as more gradual rate changes. Other factors such as changes
in volumes, spreads, margins, and the impact of prior period pricing decisions

While IRE assumes that businesses make no additional changes in pricing or

may alter their portfolio mix, customer pricing and hedge positions, which
could significantly impact reported NIR.
Citigroup employs additional measurements, including stress testing the
impact of non-linear interest rate movements on the value of the balance

yielding an average rate of 2.6%, compared to 1.9% in the prior year. The 2005
increase in deposits was driven mainly by increases in corporate and retail
banking deposits, slightly offset by a decline in private banking mainly due

The growth in corporate interest-bearing deposits, mainly in the Europe

Regulatory Capital and Accounting
Standards Developments
Citigroup supports the move to a new set of risk-based regulatory capital
standards, published on June 26, 2004 (and subsequently amended in
November 2005) by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel
Committee), consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13
countries. Basel II will allow Citigroup to leverage internal risk models used
to measure credit, operational, and market risk exposures to drive regulatory
capital calculations. On September 30, 2005, the U.S. banking regulators
delayed the U.S. implementation of Basel II by one year. The current U.S.
implementation timetable consists of parallel calculations under the current
regulatory capital regime (Basel I) and Basel II, starting January 1, 2008, and
an implementation transition period, starting January 1, 2009 through year-
end 2011 or possibly later. The U.S. regulators have also reserved the right to
change how Basel II is applied in the U.S., and retain the existing Prompt
Corrective Action and leverage capital requirements applicable to U.S.
banking organizations. The new timetable, clarifications, and other proposals
will be set forth in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR), which the U.S.
banking regulators are expected to issue during 2006.
Citigroup continues to monitor and analyze the developing capital
standards in the U.S. and in countries where Citigroup has significant
presence, in order to assess their collective impact and allocate project
management and funding resources accordingly.

collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional
clients and retail customers, which match the clients’ investment needs and
preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors’ risk to a pool of
assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The VIEs, which
are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability
corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or
distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may
repackage the investment with higher-rated debt CDO securities or U.S.
Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the
return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the
VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it
or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also
provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate
fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity

instruments, as well as the purchasing and warehousing of securities until

Assumptions
The discount rate and future rate of compensation assumptions used in
determining pension and postretirement benefit obligations and net benefit
expense for the Company’s plans are shown in the following table:
(1) Weighted average rates for the U.S. plans equal the stated rates.
(2) Future compensation increase rate for small groups of grandfathered employees is 3.0% or 6.0%.
A one percentage-point change in the discount rates would have the following effects on pension expense:
One percentage-point increase One percentage-point decrease

(1) Includes 45.16 million shares issuable upon the vesting of deferred stock awards. Does not include an aggregate of 8.53 million shares subject to outstanding options granted by predecessor companies under plans
assumed by Citigroup in connection with mergers and acquisitions. Citigroup has not made any awards under these plans, and they are not considered as a source of shares for future awards. The weighted-average
exercise price of such options is $40.86 per share. Some of the assumed options also entitled the holders to receive Litigation Tracking Warrants (LTWs) upon exercise, in addition to the shares underlying the options. The
LTWs were issued in 1998 to holders of the outstanding common stock of Golden State Bancorp Inc. (GSB), and assumed by Citigroup upon the acquisition of GSB in 2002. In 2005, following resolution of certain litigation
against the U.S. government by Glendale Federal Bank, FSB, the LTWs became exercisable for a 60-day period entitling the holders to receive upon exercise 0.02302 share of Citigroup common stock and $0.6725 net
cash payment after deducting the $0.0002 exercise price per LTW. Holders of unexercised GSB options who would have received LTWs had their options been exercised before the start of the LTW exercise period are
entitled to receive the LTW consideration whenever the underlying GSB options are exercised. This could result in the issuance of up to an additional 4,429 shares of Citigroup common stock if all the LTW options are
exercised in full.
(2) As described in footnote 1 above, does not include 8.53 million shares subject to outstanding options under certain plans assumed by Citigroup in connection with mergers and acquisitions, and 45.16 million shares
subject to deferred stock awards.
(3) Does not include shares that were available for issuance under plans approved by shareholders of acquired companies but under which Citigroup does not make any awards. Of the number of shares available for future
issuance, 303.73 million of such shares are available under plans that provide for awards of restricted stock, in addition to (or in lieu of) options, warrants and rights.
(4) Includes 3.14 million shares issuable upon the vesting of deferred stock awards. Does not include 310,609 shares subject to outstanding options under a plan assumed by Citigroup in a merger. Citigroup has not made
any awards under this plan, and it is not considered as a source of shares for future awards by Citigroup. The weighted-average exercise price of such options is $45.37 per share.
(5) As described in footnote 4 above, does not include 310,609 shares subject to outstanding options under a plan assumed by Citigroup in a merger, and 3.14 million shares subject to deferred stock awards.
(6) Does not include plans of acquired companies under which Citigroup does not make any awards. Also does not include up to 4.7 million shares available for purchase pursuant to the Travelers Group Stock Purchase Plan
for PFS Representatives. This plan allows eligible Primerica Financial Services (PFS) representatives to use their earned commissions to periodically purchase shares of Citigroup common stock at current market prices. A
limited number of high performers may purchase shares, subject to plan limits, at discounts of up to 25%. The discount is funded by Primerica Financial Services and is considered additional compensation. Shares are
purchased on the open market; no newly-issued or treasury shares are used in this program.
