The sale is currently expected to result in an after-tax gain of approximately $250 million upon closing (expected to occur by early 2014, subject to Brazilian regulatory approvals).

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 occurred 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).
