Current Report on Form 8-K

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

As noted below, on April 26, 2016, the stockholders of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup), upon recommendation of Citigroup’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Citigroup 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan). The amendment to the 2014 Plan increases the authorized number of shares available for grant under the 2014 Plan by 20 million.

 

Also on April 26, 2016, Citigroup’s stockholders, upon recommendation of Citigroup’s Board of Directors, approved the Amended and Restated 2011 Citigroup Executive Performance Plan (the 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 named executive officers in Citigroup’s annual proxy statements, other than the chief financial officer.

 

The amendment to the 2014 Plan and the EPP are described in greater detail in proposal 4 and proposal 5, respectively, in Citigroup’s Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Proxy Statement). The descriptions of the 2014 Plan and the EPP contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2014 Plan and the EPP set forth in exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
