WHEREAS, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”) is the appropriate federal supervisor of Citigroup;

WHEREAS, Citigroup has a number of separate business lines and legal entities that must comply with a wide range of applicable laws, rules, and regulations;

WHEREAS, on October 7, 2020, Citigroup consented to an Order to Cease and Desist issued by the Board of Governors (the “2020 Order”) based on significant ongoing deficiencies in implementation and execution by Citigroup with respect to various areas of risk management and internal controls, including for data quality management and regulatory reporting, compliance risk management, capital planning, and liquidity risk management;

WHEREAS, the 2020 Order required Citigroup, among other things, to submit a plan to enhance its data quality management program, including data governance, and actions to ensure that appropriate compensating controls across Citigroup are implemented and maintained until the end state is achieved and functioning as intended;


WHEREAS, on October 7, 2020, Citibank consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) to remedy deficiencies in its risk management, internal controls, and data governance and to the assessment of a $400 million civil money penalty (the “OCC Orders”);

WHEREAS, an examination conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“Reserve Bank”) in 2023 found that Citigroup had ongoing deficiencies in data quality management and ineffective compensating controls to mitigate associated risks;

WHEREAS, an examination conducted by the Reserve Bank in 2023 regarding Citigroup’s remediation efforts related to the 2020 Order (the “2020 Order execution exam”) found that Citigroup’s progress in executing its plan to enhance its data quality management program under paragraph 4 of the 2020 Order, or toward the implementation of appropriate compensating controls has not been adequate;

WHEREAS, as a result of the deficiencies described above, Citigroup violated the 2020 Order through delays in completing milestones included in its approved plan to enhance its data quality management program and through inadequate measures for managing and controlling its data quality risks until the plan is implemented in full;

WHEREAS, Citigroup is taking steps to correct the violations cited above and to comply with its obligations under the 2020 Order;

WHEREAS, the 2020 Order violations described above warrant the assessment of a civil money penalty by the Board of Governors against Citigroup under section 8(i)(2)(B) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDI Act”) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(i)(2)(B));

WHEREAS, the Board of Governors and Citigroup have agreed to this Order of Assessment of a Civil Money Penalty Upon Consent (the “Order”); and

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Citigroup, at a duly constituted meeting, adopted a resolution authorizing and directing the undersigned to enter into this Order on behalf of Citigroup, and consent to Citigroup’s compliance with each and every provision of this Order, and to waive any and all rights that Citigroup may have with respect to this Order pursuant to section 8 of the FDI Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. § 1818), and 12 C.F.R.

)

CONSENT ORDER

WHEREAS, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) has supervisory authority over Citibank, National Association, Sioux Falls, South Dakota (“Bank”);

WHEREAS, the OCC issued Consent Order, AA-EC-2020-64, dated October 7, 2020 (“2020 Consent Order”) for deficiencies in the Bank’s data governance, risk management, and internal controls that constitute unsafe or unsound practices and that contributed to violations of law or regulation;

WHEREAS, the OCC intends to initiate civil money penalty proceedings against the Bank pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i), through the issuance of a Notice of Assessment of a Civil Money Penalty for engaging in violations of the 2020 Consent Order and unsafe or unsound practices;

WHEREAS, in the interest of cooperation and to avoid additional costs associated with administrative and judicial proceedings with respect to the above matter, the Bank, by and through its duly elected and acting Board of Directors (“Board”), consents to the issuance of this Consent Order (“Order”), by the OCC through the duly authorized representative of the Comptroller of the Currency (“Comptroller”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority vested in the OCC by Section 8(i) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i), the OCC hereby orders that:

1


ARTICLE I

JURISDICTION

(1)The Bank is an “insured depository institution” as that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(c)(2).

(2)The Bank is a national banking association within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q)(1)(A), and is chartered and examined by the OCC. See 12 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

(3)The OCC is the “appropriate Federal banking agency” as that term is defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q) and is therefore authorized to initiate and maintain this civil money penalty action against the Bank pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i).

ARTICLE II

COMPTROLLER’S FINDINGS

The Comptroller finds, and the Bank neither admits nor denies, the following:

(1)Article II (Comptroller’s Findings) of the 2020 Consent Order states that for several years, the Bank failed to implement and maintain an enterprise-wide risk management and compliance risk management program, internal controls, or a data governance program commensurate with the Bank’s size, complexity, and risk profile. Such deficiencies constituted unsafe or unsound practices and contributed to violations of law or regulation.

(2)The Bank has taken and continues to take steps to comply with its obligations under the 2020 Consent Order.

(3)The Bank has nevertheless failed to make sufficient and sustainable progress towards achieving compliance with the 2020 Consent Order.

(4)The Bank has failed to comply with certain requirements of Articles III and IV of the 2020 Consent Order.

2


(5)The Bank’s continuing noncompliance with and violation of the 2020 Consent Order constitute unsafe or unsound practices.

(6)In addition, the Bank lacks processes to monitor the impact of data quality concerns on regulatory reporting.

ARTICLE III

ORDER FOR A CIVIL MONEY PENALTY

(1)The Bank shall make payment of a civil money penalty in the total amount of seventy-five million ($75,000,000), which shall be paid upon the execution of this Order.

(2)Such payment shall be made by a wire transfer sent in accordance with instructions provided by the OCC and the docket number of this case (AA-ENF-2024-51) shall be entered on the wire confirmation.

(a)

any and all rights to the issuance of a Notice of Charges pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818;

(b)

ARTICLE V

CLOSING

(1)This Order is a settlement of the civil money penalty proceedings against the Bank contemplated by the OCC, based on the unsafe or unsound practices and violations of a final order described in the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Order. The OCC releases and discharges the Bank from all potential liability for a civil money penalty order that has been or might have been asserted by the OCC based on the practices and violations described in Article II of this Order, to the extent known to the OCC as of the effective date of this Order. The OCC expressly reserves its right to assess additional civil money penalties or take other enforcement actions if the OCC determines that the Bank has continued, or failed to correct, the practices and violations described in Article II of this Order.

4


(2)

Nothing in this Order shall prevent the OCC from:

(a)

instituting enforcement actions other than a civil money penalty order against the Bank based on the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Order;

(b)

instituting enforcement actions against the Bank based on any other findings, including the Bank’s continuation of or failure to correct the practices and violations described in Article II of this Order;

(4)

an “order issued with the consent of the depository institution” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(h)(2);

distribution by the Bank, whether sufficient resources are being appropriately allocated towards achieving timely and sustainable compliance with this Order, including any requirements of the Order on which the Bank is not making sufficient and sustainable progress (“Resource Review Plan”).

(2)Until such time as the Bank receives prior written determination of no supervisory objection to the Resource Review Plan, and subject to Paragraph (3) hereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of any declaration of a dividend by the Bank or approval by the Board of any capital distribution by the Bank, the Bank shall submit to the Examiner-in-Charge for a prior written determination of no supervisory objection a proposal for the Bank to declare and pay dividends or make capital distributions, detailing the amounts that are consistent with the obligations discussed in Paragraph (3) of this Article, and shall not declare and pay such dividend or make such capital distribution until the Bank receives prior written determination of no supervisory objection from the Examiner-in-Charge.

(3)This Article XVII and the Resource Review Plan do not prevent the Bank from paying sufficient dividends or otherwise making sufficient capital distributions such that its ultimate parent company can meet its debt service obligations, pay dividends on preferred stock, and satisfy other non-discretionary obligations as defined in the Resource Review Plan.

(4)Any proposed changes or material deviation from the Resource Review Plan by the Bank shall be submitted in writing to the Examiner-in-Charge for review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection by the Examiner-in-Charge, and upon receipt of prior written determination of no supervisory objection from the Examiner-in-Charge, the Bank shall incorporate the required changes into the Resource Review Plan. In the event the Examiner-in- Charge requires changes to the Resource Review Plan, subject to Paragraph (3), the Bank shall


revise the Resource Review Plan, provide the revised Resource Review Plan to the Board for approval, and submit the revised Resource Review Plan to the Examiner-in-Charge for review and prior written determination of no supervisory objection by the Examiner-in-Charge.

CLOSING

(1)This Amendment is a settlement of the cease and desist proceedings against the Bank contemplated by the OCC, based on the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Amendment. The OCC releases and discharges the Bank from all potential liability for a cease and desist order that has been or might have been asserted by the OCC based on the findings in Article II of this Amendment, to the extent known to the OCC as of the effective date of this Amendment. Except as specifically provided for in AA-ENF-2024-51, the OCC expressly reserves its right to assess civil money penalties or take other enforcement actions if the OCC determines that the Bank has continued, or failed to correct, the practices described in Article II of this Amendment or Article II of the 2020 Consent Order following the effective date of this Amendment, or that the Bank otherwise is violating or has violated this Amendment or the 2020 Consent Order following the effective date of this Amendment.

(2)Nothing in this Amendment shall prevent the OCC from:

(a)

instituting enforcement actions other than a cease and desist order against the Bank based on the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Amendment or Article II of the 2020 Consent Order, except as specifically provided for in AA-ENF-2024-51;

(b)

instituting enforcement actions against the Bank based on any other findings, including if the OCC determines that, following the effective date of this Amendment, the Bank has continued, or failed to correct, the practices described in Article II of this Amendment or Article II of the 2020 Consent Order or that the Bank otherwise is violating or has violated


this Amendment or the 2020 Consent Order following the effective date of this Amendment;

(c)

instituting enforcement actions against institution-affiliated parties (as defined by 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u)) based on the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Amendment, Article II of the 2020 Consent Order, or any other findings; or

(d)

utilizing the Comptroller’s Findings set forth in Article II of this Amendment or Article II of the 2020 Consent Order in future enforcement actions against the Bank or its institution-affiliated parties to establish a pattern or the continuation of a pattern.

(3)Nothing in this Amendment is a release, discharge, compromise, settlement, dismissal, or resolution of any actions, or in any way affects any actions that may be or have been brought by any other representative of the United States or an agency thereof, including, without limitation, the United States Department of Justice.

(4)This Amendment is:

(a)

a “cease-and-desist order issued upon consent” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b);

(b)

a “cease-and-desist order which has become final” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e);

(c)

an “order issued with the consent of the depository institution” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(h)(2);

(d)

an “effective and outstanding . . . order” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i)(1); and


(e)

a “final order” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1818(i)(2) and (u).

(5)This Amendment is effective upon its issuance by the OCC, through the Comptroller’s duly authorized representative. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to “days” in this Amendment shall mean calendar days and the computation of any period of time imposed by this Amendment shall not include the date of the act or event that commences the period of time.

(6)The provisions of this Amendment shall remain effective except to the extent that, and until such time as, such provisions are amended, suspended, waived, or terminated in writing by the OCC, through the Comptroller’s duly authorized representative. If the Bank seeks an extension, amendment, suspension, waiver, or termination of any provision of this Amendment, the Board or a Board-designee shall submit a written request to the Deputy Comptroller asking for the desired relief. Any request submitted pursuant to this paragraph shall include a statement setting forth in detail the circumstances that warrant the desired relief or prevent the Bank from complying with the relevant provision(s) of this Amendment and shall be accompanied by relevant supporting documentation. The OCC’s decision concerning a request submitted pursuant to this paragraph, which will be communicated to the Board in writing, is final and not subject to further review.

(7)This Amendment is not a contract binding on the United States, the United States Treasury Department, the OCC, or any officer, employee, or agent of the OCC and neither the Bank nor the OCC intends this Amendment to be a contract.

(8)Each citation, issuance, or guidance referenced in this Amendment includes any subsequent citation, issuance, or guidance that replaces, supersedes, amends, or revises the referenced cited citation, issuance, or guidance.


(9)No separate promise or inducement of any kind has been made by the OCC, or by its officers, employees, or agents, to cause or induce the Bank to consent to the issuance of this Amendment.

(10)The terms of this Amendment, including this paragraph, are not subject to amendment or modification by any extraneous expression, prior agreements, or prior arrangements between the parties, whether oral or written.
