ClusterStock's John Carney lays out terms of the $306 billion in loans:
- The first $29 billion of losses from the portfolio will be absorbed by Citi entirely.
- The Treasury Department will take 90% of the next $5 billion of losses, with Citi taking the rest.
- The FDIC will step in and take 90% of the next $10 billion of losses while Citi absorbs the balance.
- Losses beyond that will be taken by the Federal Reserve in the 90% government role. "Note that Citi is still supposed to take the remaining 10% at this stage but it's hard to believe that anyone really thinks Citi would be able to take any more losses once it had written down $40 billion more in this portfolio," Carney writes.
