Citi Announces 2019 Planned Capital Actions

Business Wire
The Federal Reserve Board today announced that it does not
object to the planned capital actions requested by Citi as part of
the 2019 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review.
The planned capital actions include an increase of Citi’s
quarterly common stock dividend from $0.45 to $0.51 per share
(subject to quarterly approval by Citi’s Board of Directors), as
well as a common stock repurchase program of up to $17.1 billion
during the four quarters starting in the third quarter of 2019.
These planned capital actions total $21.5 billion over the four
quarters covered by the 2019 CCAR cycle.
Citi CEO Michael Corbat said: “At Citi’s Investor Day in 2017,
we announced our goal to return at least $60 billion in capital to
common shareholders across three consecutive CCAR cycles, subject
to regulatory approval. When the capital actions announced today
are complete, that goal will be achieved. Looking ahead, we are
focused on continuing to serve our clients with distinction,
improving returns for our shareholders and making the investments
necessary to ensure safety and soundness.”
Repurchases by Citi under the common stock repurchase program
may be effected from time to time through open market purchases,
trading plans established in accordance with U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission rules or other means, depending on satisfactory
market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.
The common stock repurchase program does not obligate Citi to
repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it may be
suspended at any time at Citi’s discretion.
Citi, the leading global bank, has approximately 200 million
customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and
jurisdictions. Citi provides consumers, corporations, governments
and institutions with a broad range of financial products and
services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and
investment banking, securities brokerage, transaction services, and
wealth management.
