Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am General Counsel
Human Resources of Citigroup Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company). I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration
Statement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), for the registration of $2,500,000 of Deferred Compensation Obligations, which represent unsecured obligations of the Company to pay deferred compensation in the
future in accordance with the terms of the Citi Head Office Guarantee Plan (the Plan).
In connection with the foregoing, I or
attorneys under my supervision have examined the Restated Certification of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, as amended, the Plan document, and such other documents and instruments of the Company that I have deemed necessary or appropriate
for the purposes of the opinion expressed herein. In addition, I or attorneys under my supervision have reviewed and have conferred with various officers and directors of the Company and have ascertained or verified to my satisfaction such
additional facts as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the opinion expressed herein. As to certain factual matters relevant to this opinion letter, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
For the purpose of this opinion, I have assumed that the Plan is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and the Plan is not designed or
operated for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Based
upon the foregoing I am of the opinion that, when issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Deferred Compensation Obligations will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as
enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights or by general principles of equity.
My opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. My
opinion expressed herein is as of the date hereof, and I undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or any other matters that may come to my attention after the date hereof that may affect my opinion expressed herein.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the reference to me under the heading
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours, |
|
