Current Report on Form 8-K
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 29, 2025, the Citigroup Inc. (Citi) Board of Directors approved a plan to sell AO Citibank, which conducts Citi’s remaining operations in Russia and is currently reported within Services, Markets, Banking and All Other—Legacy Franchises. As a result of this approval:
| ● | Citi will report its remaining business in Russia as “held for sale” as of the fourth quarter 2025, with the sale anticipated to sign and close in the first half of 2026. |
| ● | The “held for sale” accounting treatment results in a pre-tax loss on sale for the fourth quarter 2025 of approximately $1.2 billion ($1.1 billion after-tax), which is recognized as a reduction of Other Revenue through a valuation allowance. The loss on sale consists of (i) an approximate $1.6 billion related to the currency translation adjustment (CTA) losses that will also remain in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) until closing, partially offset by (ii) an approximate $0.2 billion expected benefit from the future derecognition of its fully reserved net investment, and (iii) an approximate $0.2 billion of expected proceeds of the future sale. All amounts are as of September 30, 2025. |
| ● | The cumulative impact of CTA recorded in the loss on sale during the fourth quarter, and the amounts released from AOCI upon closing, would be capital neutral to Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. |
| ● | The loss on sale is subject to further changes, including as a result of foreign exchange movements. |
For additional information on Citi’s operations and exposures in Russia, see “Managing Global Risk – Other Risks – Country Risk – Russia” in Citi’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. These statements are not guarantees of future results or occurrences. Actual results and capital and other financial conditions may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a variety of factors. These factors include, among others, (i) the significant complexities, execution challenges and uncertainties involving a sale of Citi’s remaining business operations in Russia, including ongoing negotiations with a potential buyer and a signing of any sale agreement and required regulatory approvals; and (ii) the precautionary statements included in this report. These factors also consist of those contained in Citi’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the “Risk Factors” section of Citi’s 2024 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Citi speak only as to the date they are made, and Citi does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.
