Current Report on Form 8-K
Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 21, 2011, Citigroup’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Citigroup 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), which was first approved by stockholders on April 21, 2009. This amendment to the 2009 Plan added 400 million shares of Citigroup Inc. common stock, par value $.01 per share, to the total number of such shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2009 Plan.
No award previously made to the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, nor any named executive officer of Citigroup Inc. under the 2009 Plan, nor under any other compensatory plan, contract or arrangement covering any such person, will be affected by the amendment to the 2009 Plan approved by stockholders on April 21, 2011.
Also on April 21, 2011, Citigroup’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors, approved adoption of the 2011 Citigroup Executive Performance Plan (“EPP”). The purpose of the EPP is to incentivize, motivate and attract and retain key executive talent with awards that are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which allows a United States federal income tax deduction for performance-based compensation paid to executive officers who are named in Citigroup’s annual proxy statements, other than the chief financial officer. As of the date of this report, no awards have been made under the EPP to any such officers.
The amendment to the 2009 Plan referred to above and the EPP are described in greater detail in proposal 3 and proposal 4, respectively, in Citigroup’s Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement, which also includes a summary description of the 2009 Plan, as proposed to be amended, and the EPP, as proposed to be adopted, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2011. The descriptions of the 2009 Plan and the EPP contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the 2009 Plan (as amended and restated effective April 21, 2011) and the EPP.
