U.S. Government Finalizes Terms of Citi Guarantee Announced in November
Washington, DC – The Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation have finalized the terms of the guarantee
agreement with Citigroup that was previously announced on November 23, 2008.
The agreement provides protection against the possibility of unusually large losses
on an asset pool of approximately $301 billion of loans and securities backed by
residential and commercial real estate and other such assets, which will remain on
Citigroup's balance sheet.
The capital investment finalized last month and asset protections finalized today
provide support as Citigroup executes its ongoing restructuring plans. This
agreement was previously announced on November 23, 2008. No new money has
been committed today and no government funds have been transferred. The U.S.
government will continue efforts to strengthen our banking institutions and support
financial markets.
