2.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of Certain Citi Capital Advisors Business

        During the third quarter of 2012, the Company executed definitive agreements to transition a carve-out of its liquid strategies business within Citi Capital Advisors (CCA), which is part of the Institutional Clients Group segment, to certain employees responsible for managing those operations. This transition will occur pursuant to two separate transactions, creating two separate management companies, with each such transaction accounted for as a sale. At the close of the first transaction in February 2013, Citigroup retained a 24.9% passive equity interest in the management company created as a result of the sale (which will continue to be held in Citi's Institutional Clients Group segment) and recorded a gain on sale of $56 million. The second transaction is expected to be completed in 2013.

        This sale is reported as discontinued operations for the second half of 2012 and going forward. Prior periods were not reclassified due to the immateriality of the impact in those periods.

        The following is a summary as of March 31, 2013 of the assets sold or held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to CCA:
