In a joint statement issued after the talks, the three agencies said they will provide Citigroup "protection against the possibility of unusually large losses on an asset pool of approximately 306 billion US dollars of loans and securities backed by residential and commercial real estate and other such assets, which will remain on Citigroup's balance sheet." In addition, the Treasury Department will invest 20 billion US dollars in Citigroup from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a 700-billion-dollar package approved by Congress earlier this year to soften the banking crisis, in exchange for preferred stock with an eight-percent dividend to the Treasury, officials said. Citigroup, on its part, has agreed to comply with unspecified "enhanced executive compensation restrictions" and implement the FDIC's mortgage modification program.
