5/12/2020 Treasury Announces Pricing of Citigroup Common Stock Offering U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Press Center Treasury Announces Pricing of Citigroup Common Stock Offering 12/6/2010 TREASURY EXITS CITIGROUP COMMON STOCK POSITION NETTING A CUMULATIVE PROFIT FOR TAXPAYERS OF $12.0 BILLION WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced today that it priced an underwritten public offering of approximately 2.4 billion shares of Citigroup Inc. common stock at $4.35 per share. This offering disposed of Treasury’s remaining shares of Citigroup common stock. The aggregate proceeds to Treasury from the offering are expected to be $10.5 billion. The total amount of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds returned and cancelled guarantee commitments now exceeds approximately $269 billion. "By selling all the remaining Citigroup shares today, we had an opportunity to lock in substantial profits for the taxpayer and avoid future risk. With this transaction, we have advanced our goals of recovering TARP funds, protecting the taxpayer, and getting the government out of the business of owning stakes in private companies,” said Tim Massad, Acting Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability. Treasury received approximately 7.7 billion shares of Citigroup common stock at a price of $3.25 per common share from the exchange offers in July 2009 in exchange for the $25 billion in preferred stock received in connection with Citigroup’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The exchange was part of exchange offers conducted by Citigroup to strengthen its capital base. Treasury had disposed of approximately 5.3 billion shares to date in at-the-market sales with an average price of $4.05. Following the completion of the offering at $4.35 per share, Treasury’s average selling price for the entire 7.7 billion shares is $4.14. Treasury invested a total of $45 billion in Citigroup pursuant to the TARP (and made a $5 billion commitment under the Asset Guarantee Program that was never funded). With this offering, Treasury has recovered all of the $45 billion plus approximately $12.0 billion in profits, consisting of dividends, interest and gain on the sale of Citigroup common stock and other securities.
