Citigroup is also assuming Wachovia debts estimated at $53 billion, it said in a statement today.

New York-based Citigroup also planning to reduce its quarterly dividend to 16 cents per share, effective immediately in order to keep its strong capital position.

Today's purchase of Wachovia was assisted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which has agreed to provide loss protection in connection with approximately $312 billion of mortgage-related and other Wachovia assets, Citigroup said.
