The plaintiff alleges that certain executives and directors of Citigroup received generous salaries while Citigroup's performance did not necessarily justify it and while its stock fell by more than 44%. The plaintiff claims that the board of directors spent funds in an unwarranted and excessive manner on compensation packages for its executives.
In fact, Citigroup's CEO received in 2010 a symbolic $1 and in 2009 $128,741. In 2011 he was paid total compensation of more than $14.9 million. A raise of 1,499,999,900% over his 2010 compensation, so the plaintiff
Citigroup shareholders voted to reject Citigroup's executive compensation plan, which included approving the CEO's $15 million pay package, at the annual meeting on April 17, 2012.
The plaintiff says that vote has cast doubt on the board's decision-making process, as well as the accuracy and truthfulness of its public statements and absent this lawsuit, the majority will of the company's stockholders shall be rendered meaningless.
NYSE:C shares closed on April 20, 2012, at $33.89 per share, down from its current 52week High of $46.00 per share.
