related loss reserve.
Once a loss is recognized under the agreement, the aggregate amount of qualifying losses across the portfolio in a particular period is netted against all recoveries and gains across the portfolio, all on a pretax basis.
The resulting net loss amount on the portfolio is the basis of the loss-sharing arrangements between Citigroup and the USG.
Citigroup will bear the first $39.5 billion of such net losses, which amount was determined using (i) an agreed-upon $29 billion of first losses, (ii) Citigroup’s thenexisting reserve with respect to the portfolio of approximately $9.5 billion, and (iii) an additional $1.0 billion as an agreed-upon amount in exchange for excluding the effects of certain hedge positions from the portfolio.
Net losses, if any, on the portfolio after Citigroup’s first-loss position will be borne 90% by the USG and 10% by Citigroup in the following manner: ?
first, until the UST has paid $5 billion in aggregate, 90% by the UST and 10% by Citigroup; ?
second, until the FDIC has paid $10 billion in aggregate, 90% by the FDIC and 10% by Citigroup; and ?
third, by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The Company recognized approximately $900 million of qualifying losses related to the portfolio (excluding replacement assets, as discussed in the note to the table below) from November 21, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
These losses will count towards Citi’s $39.5 billion first-loss position.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will implement its loss-sharing obligations under the agreement by making a loan, after Citigroup’s firstloss position and the obligations of the UST and FDIC have been exhausted, in an amount equal to the then aggregate value of the remaining covered asset pool (after reductions for charge-offs, pay-downs and realized losses) as determined in accordance with the agreement.
Following the loan, as losses are incurred on the remaining covered asset pool, Citigroup will be required to immediately repay 10% of such losses to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The loan is non-recourse to Citigroup, other than with respect to the repayment obligation in the preceding sentence and interest on the loan.
The loan is recourse only to the remaining covered asset pool, which is the sole collateral to secure the loan.
The loan will bear interest at the overnight index swap rate plus 300 basis points.
The covered asset pool includes U. S. -based exposures and transactions that were originated prior to March 14, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the composition of the covered asset pool, amount of Citigroup’s first-loss position and premium paid for loss coverage are subject to final confirmation by the USG of, among other things, the qualification of assets under the asset eligibility criteria, expected losses and reserves.
This confirmation process is to be completed no later than April 15, 2009.
The agreement includes guidelines for governance and asset management with respect to the covered asset pool, including reporting requirements and notice and approval rights of the USG at certain thresholds.
If covered losses exceed $27 billion, the USG has the right to change the asset manager for the covered asset pool.
The covered assets are risk-weighted at 20% for purposes of calculating the Tier 1 Capital ratio at December 31, 2008.
This lower risk weighting added approximately 150 basis points to Citigroup’s Tier 1 Capital ratio at December 31, 2008.  he following table summarizes the assets that were part of the covered asset pool agreed to between Citigroup and the USG as of January 15, 2009, with their values as of November 21, 2008:
