The credit rating agencies continuously review the ratingsof <strong>Citigroup</strong> and its subsidiaries, and have particularlyfocused on the impact of the Financial Reform Act onthe ratings support assumptions of U.S. bank holdingcompanies, including <strong>Citigroup</strong>. Reductions in <strong>Citigroup</strong>’sand its subsidiaries’ credit ratings could have a significantand immediate impact on Citi’s funding and liquiditythrough cash obligations, reduced funding capacity andcollateral triggers.Each of <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s and Citibank, N.A.’s long-term/senior debt and shortterm/commercialpaper ratings are currently rated investment grade by Fitch,Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (S&P). The rating agencies continuouslyevaluate <strong>Citigroup</strong> and its subsidiaries, and their ratings of <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s andits subsidiaries’ long-term and short-term debt are based on a number offactors, including financial strength, as well as factors not entirely withinthe control of <strong>Citigroup</strong> and its subsidiaries, such as conditions affecting thefinancial services industry generally.Moreover, each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P has indicated that they areevaluating the impact of the Financial Reform Act on the rating supportassumptions currently included in their methodologies as related to largeU.S. bank holding companies, including <strong>Citigroup</strong>. These evaluationsare generally a result of the rating agencies’ belief that the FinancialReform Act, including the establishment and development of the neworderly liquidation regime, increases the uncertainty regarding the U.S.government’s willingness and ability to provide extraordinary support to suchcompanies. Consistent with this belief and to bring <strong>Citigroup</strong> in line withother large U.S. banks, during 2010, S&P and Moody’s revised their outlookson <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s supported ratings from stable to negative, and Fitch placed<strong>Citigroup</strong>’s supported ratings on negative rating watch. The ultimate timingof the completion of the credit rating agencies’ evaluations, as well as theoutcomes, is uncertain.In light of these reviews and the continued focus on the financial servicesindustry generally, <strong>Citigroup</strong> and its subsidiaries may not be able to maintaintheir current respective ratings. Ratings downgrades by Fitch, Moody’s orS&P could have a significant and immediate impact on Citi’s funding andliquidity through cash obligations, reduced funding capacity and collateraltriggers. A reduction in <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s or its subsidiaries’ credit ratings could alsowiden Citi’s credit spreads or otherwise increase its borrowing costs and limitits access to the capital markets. For additional information on the potentialimpact of a reduction in <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s or its subsidiaries’ credit ratings,see “Capital Resources and Liquidity—Funding and Liquidity—CreditRatings” above.The restrictions imposed on proprietary trading and fundsrelatedactivities by the Financial Reform Act and theregulations thereunder will limit <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s trading forits own account and could also, depending on the scope ofthe final regulations, adversely impact <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s marketmakingactivities and force Citi to dispose of certain of itsinvestments at less than fair market value.The so-called “Volcker Rule” provisions of the Financial Reform Act restrictthe proprietary trading activities of depository institutions, entities thatown or control depository institutions and their affiliates. The ultimatecontours of the restrictions on proprietary trading will depend on thefinal regulations. The rulemaking must address, among other things, thescope of permissible market-making and hedging activities. The ultimateoutcome of the rulemaking process as to these and other issues is currentlyuncertain and, accordingly, so is the level of compliance and monitoringcosts and the degree to which <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s trading activities, and the results ofoperations from those activities, will be negatively impacted. In addition, anyrestrictions imposed by final regulations in this area will affect <strong>Citigroup</strong>’strading activities globally, and thus will likely impact it disproportionatelyin comparison to foreign financial institutions which will not be subject tothe Volcker Rule provisions of the Financial Reform Act with respect to theiractivities outside of the United States.In addition, the Volcker Rule restricts <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s funds-related activities,including Citi’s ability to sponsor or invest in private equity and/or hedgefunds. Under the Financial Reform Act, bank regulators have the flexibility toprovide firms with extensions allowing them to hold their otherwise restrictedinvestments in private equity and hedge funds for some time beyondthe statutory divestment period. If the regulators elect not to grant suchextensions, Citi could be forced to divest certain of its investments in illiquidfunds in the secondary market on an untimely basis. Based on the illiquidnature of the investments and the prospect that other industry participantssubject to similar requirements would likely be divesting similar assets atthe same time, such sales could be at substantial discounts to their otherwisecurrent fair market value.The establishment of the new Bureau of ConsumerFinancial Protection, as well as other provisions of theFinancial Reform Act and ensuing regulations, could affectCiti’s practices and operations with respect to a number ofits U.S. Consumer businesses and increase its costs.The Financial Reform Act established the Bureau of Consumer FinancialProtection (CFPB), an independent agency within the Federal ReserveBoard. The CFPB was given rulemaking authority over most providers ofconsumer financial services in the U.S. as well as enforcement authorityover the consumer operations of banks with assets over $10 billion, such asCitibank, N.A. The CFPB was also given interpretive authority with respectto numerous existing consumer financial services regulations (such asRegulation Z, Truth in Lending) that were previously interpreted by theFederal Reserve Board. Because this is an entirely new agency, the impacton <strong>Citigroup</strong>, including its retail banking, mortgages and cards businesses,74
is largely uncertain. However, any new regulatory requirements, or modifiedinterpretations of existing regulations, will affect Citi’s U.S. Consumerpractices and operations, potentially resulting in increased compliance costs.Moreover, the Financial Reform Act also provides authority to the SEC todetermine fiduciary duty standards applicable to brokers of retail customers.Any new such standards could also affect <strong>Citigroup</strong>’s business practices withretail investment customers and could have indirect additional effects onstandards applicable to business with certain institutional customers.In addition, the Financial Reform Act fundamentally altered the currentbalance between state and federal regulation of consumer financial law.The provisions of the Financial Reform Act relating to the doctrine of“federal preemption” may allow a broader application of state consumerfinancial laws to federally chartered institutions such as Citibank, N.A.and Citibank (South Dakota), N.A. In addition, the Financial Reform Acteliminated federal preemption protection for operating subsidiaries such asCitiMortgage, <strong>Inc</strong>. The Financial Reform Act also allows state authoritiesto bring certain types of enforcement actions against national banksunder applicable law and granted states the ability to bring enforcementactions and to secure remedies against national banks for violation ofCFPB regulations as well. This additional exposure to state lawsuits andenforcement actions, which could be extensive, could subject Citi to increasedlitigation and regulatory enforcement actions, further increasing costs.Recent legislative and regulatory changes have imposedsubstantial changes and restrictions on Citi’s U.S. creditcard businesses, leading to adverse financial impactand uncertainty regarding the nature of the credit cardbusiness model going forward.In May 2009, the U.S. Congress enacted the Credit Card AccountabilityResponsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) which, among other things,restricts certain credit card practices, requires expanded disclosures toconsumers and provides consumers with the right to opt out of certaininterest rate increases. Complying with these changes, as well as therequirements of the amendments to Regulation Z adopted by the FederalReserve Board to implement them, required <strong>Citigroup</strong> to invest significantmanagement attention and resources to make the necessary disclosure,system and practices changes in its U.S. card businesses, and has negativelyimpacted Citi’s credit card revenues.While Citi has fully implemented all of the provisions of the CARD Act thathave taken effect, the so-called “look-back” rules, requiring a re-evaluationof rate increases since January 2009, remain to be implemented during 2011,and could further adversely impact Citi’s credit card revenues.In addition to any potential ongoing financial impact, the CARD Act hasraised uncertainties regarding the nature of the credit card business modelgoing forward. These uncertainties include, among others, potential changesto revenue streams, reduction in the availability of credit to higher riskpopulations, and reduction in the amount of credit to eligible populations,all of which may impact the traditional credit card business model,including Citi’s.There has been increased attention relating to mortgagerepresentation and warranty claims, foreclosure processissues and the legitimacy of mortgage securitizationsand transfers, which has increased, and may continue toincrease, Citi’s potential liability with respect to mortgagerepurchases or indemnification claims and its foreclosuresin process.<strong>Citigroup</strong> is exposed to representation and warranty claims relating to its U.S.Consumer mortgage businesses and, to a lesser extent, through private-labelresidential mortgage securitizations sponsored by Citi’s S&B business. Withregard to the U.S. Consumer mortgage businesses, as of December 31, 2010,Citi services approximately $456 billion of loans previously sold. During2010, Citi increased its repurchase reserve from approximately $482 millionto $969 million at December 31, 2010. See “Managing Global Risk—CreditRisk—Consumer Mortgage Representations and Warranties” below.Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, <strong>Citigroup</strong> is required to use certain assumptionsand estimates in calculating repurchase reserves. If these assumptions orestimates prove to be incorrect, the liabilities incurred in connection withsuccessful repurchase or indemnification claims may be substantially higheror lower than the amounts reserved.With regard to S&B private-label mortgage securitizations, S&B has todate received only a small number of claims for breaches of representationsand warranties. Particularly in light of the increased attention to these andrelated matters, the number of such claims and Citi’s potential liability couldincrease. <strong>Citigroup</strong> is also exposed to potential underwriting liability relatingto S&B mortgage securitizations as well as underwritings of other residentialmortgage-backed securities sponsored and issued by third parties. See Note 29to the Consolidated Financial Statements.In addition, allegations of irregularities in foreclosure processes acrossthe industry, including so-called “robo-signing” by mortgage loan servicers,and questions relating to the legitimacy of the securitization of mortgageloans and the Mortgage Electronic Registration System’s role in trackingmortgages, holding title and participating in the mortgage foreclosureprocess, have gained the attention of the U.S. Congress, Department ofJustice, regulatory agencies, state attorneys general and the media, amongother parties. Numerous governmental entities, including a number offederal agencies and all 50 state attorneys general, have commencedproceedings or otherwise sought information from various financialinstitutions, including <strong>Citigroup</strong>, relating to these issues. Governmental orregulatory investigations of alleged irregularities in the industry’s foreclosureprocesses, or any governmental or regulatory scrutiny of <strong>Citigroup</strong>’sforeclosure processes, has resulted in, and may continue to result in, thediversion of management’s attention and increased expense, and could resultin fines, penalties, other equitable remedies, such as principal reductionprograms, and significant legal, negative reputational and other costs.75
