Citigroup Board of Directors Approves $1.165 Billion Common Stock Repurchase Program

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a $1.165 billion common stock repurchase program through the first quarter of 2015. As previously announced, this repurchase plan was permitted pursuant to the 2014 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and is intended to offset estimated dilution created by Citi's annual incentive compensation grants.

Repurchases by Citi under the common stock repurchase program may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules or other means, depending on satisfactory market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate Citi to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at Citi’s discretion.
