CITIGROUP ANNOUNCES RECORD DATE AND DISTRIBUTION DATE
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY CORP. COMMON STOCK
New York, NY - Citigroup (NYSE:C) today announced that it will distribute
to Citigroup stockholders a total of 219,050,000 shares of class A common
stock and 450,050,000 shares of class B common stock of Travelers Property
Casualty Corp. (Travelers).
The distribution will be payable on or about August 20, 2002 to Citigroup
stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 9, 2002.
Citigroup currently owns 269 million shares of Travelers class A common
stock and 500 million shares of Travelers class B common stock, which
represent approximately 76.9 percent of the total outstanding common stock
of Travelers.
The Distribution
Citigroup estimates that 0.0432950 of a share of Travelers class A common
stock and 0.0889519 of a share of Travelers class B common stock will be
distributed for each outstanding share of Citigroup common stock
(approximately 4.32 shares of Travelers class A common stock and 8.89
shares of Travelers class B common stock for each 100 shares of Citigroup
common stock).
The final ratio will be fixed after the record date and will be calculated
based upon the ratio of the number of shares of Travelers class A common
stock and Travelers class B common stock to be distributed by Citigroup to
the actual number of shares of Citigroup common stock outstanding on August
9, 2002, the record date. Citigroup will announce the final ratio shortly
after the record date.
As of July 31, 2002, Citigroup had approximately 5,059,472,031 shares
outstanding. Fractional shares of Travelers class A common stock or
Travelers class B common stock will not be issued. Any Citigroup
stockholder entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive a
cash payment.
Citigroup has received a private-letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service to the effect that the distribution will be tax-free to Citigroup
and its stockholders for U.S. federal income-tax purposes. Cash received in
lieu of fractional shares will be taxable.
Ownership of the Travelers common stock received by Citigroup stockholders
will be registered in book-entry form. Each registered holder of Citigroup
common stock will receive a stock distribution statement from the
distribution agent. The statement will indicate the number of full shares
of Travelers class A common stock and Travelers class B common stock that
have been credited to that Citigroup stockholder.
In March 2002, Travelers completed its initial public offering of 231
million shares of its class A common stock in the largest ever IPO in the
U.S. insurance sector and the fifth largest IPO in U.S. history at the
time. Travelers class A common stock is now listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol "TAP.A." Travelers has filed an
application to list its class B common stock on the NYSE under the symbol
"TAP.B."
In connection with the distribution, "ex-distribution" trading in shares of
Citigroup common stock and "when-issued" trading in shares of Travelers
class A common stock and Travelers class B common stock, are expected to
commence on the NYSE on Wednesday, August 7, 2002.
Further Information on The Distribution
After August 9, 2002, an information statement will be mailed to Citigroup
stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the record date. The
information statement will include the final ratio of shares of Travelers
class A common stock and Travelers class B common stock to be distributed
for each share of Citigroup common stock.
