Current Report on Form 8-K
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 23, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board communicated that Citigroup Inc.’s (Citi) Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) requirement would increase from the currently effective requirement of 3.0% to 4.0% for the four-quarter window of 4Q 2022 to 3Q 2023. Accordingly, effective October 1, 2022, Citi is required to maintain an 11.5% effective minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) Capital ratio under the Standardized Approach, incorporating this SCB and its current GSIB surcharge of 3.0%. Citi’s effective minimum CET 1 Capital ratio under the Advanced Approaches (using the fixed 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer) will remain unchanged at 10%. Commencing January 1, 2023, Citi’s GSIB surcharge will increase from 3.0% to 3.5%, which will be applicable to both the Standardized Approach and the Advanced Approaches, resulting in a minimum CET 1 regulatory requirement of 12% under the Standardized Approach and 10.5% under the Advanced Approaches, both as of such date. As of March 31, 2022, Citi’s CET 1 Capital ratio was 11.4% under both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches.
Citi plans to maintain the current common dividend of $0.51 per share in the third quarter of 2022. Citi’s quarterly common dividend is subject to approval by Citi’s Board of Directors and the latest financial and macroeconomic conditions.
Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of future results or occurrences. Actual results and capital and other financial condition may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a variety of factors, including, among others, the ongoing or forecasted impacts to Citigroup’s results of operations and financial condition related to or resulting from Russia’s military action in Ukraine, including the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls, as well as the broader impacts to financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments; higher inflation and its impacts; higher interest rates and the impacts on macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, as well as Citi’s funding costs; regulatory requirements; macroeconomic and other challenges and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the impacts to the U.S. and global economies; consummation of Citi’s exits and wind-down, and the impact of any additional CTA or other losses; and the precautionary statements included in this report. These factors also consist of those contained in Citi’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the "Risk Factors" section of Citi’s 2021 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Citi speak only as to the date they are made, and Citi does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.
