Citigroup to pay $75m in SEC pact

Bank failed to disclose $40bn in sub-prime exposure to investors in 2007

Citigroup will pay $75m (€57m) to settle regulatory charges that it failed to disclose $40bn in sub-prime exposure to investors in the second and third quarters of 2007.

The settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission won't charge Citigroup with fraud, but rather material omission of disclosure requirements, the SEC said in a news release. The SEC said Citigroup neither admitted nor denied the agency's allegations.
