ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     The Citicorp  Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the "Plan") became effective in
October  1995.   $100,000,000   of  Deferred   Compensation   Obligations   (the
"Obligations")  are being  registered  under this  Registration  Statement to be
offered to certain eligible employees of Citicorp and its affiliates pursuant to
the  Plan.  The  Plan  requires  Participants  to defer  25% of  their  Variable
Compensation  Awards into  Mandatory  Deferral  Accounts whose return equals the
return on Citicorp  Common Stock,  and allows  Participants to defer from 10% to
85% of the  remainder  of their  Variable  Compensation  Awards  into  Voluntary
Deferral  Accounts which may be allocated among a variety of investments,  which
may include an account whose return equals the return on Citicorp  Common Stock.
The amounts credited to the Mandatory Deferral Accounts are generally payable to
the  Participant  in cash five years after they are  credited  to the  Mandatory
Deferral


<PAGE>



Account;  however, with certain exceptions,  a Participant may elect to postpone
cash  distribution  of the amounts in the Mandatory  Deferral  Account by having
such amount credited to a Voluntary  Deferral  Account.  The  Obligations  being
registered  under  this  Registration  Statement  relate  solely to the  amounts
invested into Voluntary Deferral Accounts.

     The  Obligations  are  general  unsecured  obligations  of  Citicorp to pay
deferred  compensation  in the future in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan
from the general  assets of Citicorp,  and rank pari passu with other  unsecured
and  unsubordinated  indebtedness  of  Citicorp  from time to time  outstanding.
However, because Citicorp is a holding company, the right of Citicorp, hence the
right  of  creditors  of  Citicorp  (including  Participants  in the  Plan),  to
participate  in any  distribution  of the  assets  of any  subsidiary  upon  its
liquidation or reorganization  or otherwise is necessarily  subject to the prior
claims of  creditors  of the  subsidiary,  except to the extent  that  claims of
Citicorp  itself as a creditor of the subsidiary  may be  recognized.  There are
various legal limitations on the extent to which Citicorp's banking subsidiaries
may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Citicorp.

     The amount of  compensation  deferred by each  Participant is determined in
accordance with the Plan based on the Participant's  elections.  Under the Plan,
Obligations in the Voluntary Deferral Accounts are allocated, at the election of
the  Participant,  among one or more investment funds offered to participants in
the  Plan.  Each  Participant's  Obligation  will be  adjusted  to  reflect  the
investment  experience of the underlying  funds,  including any  appreciation or
depreciation.  Obligations in Voluntary Deferral Accounts are payable in cash in
a year  selected by the  Participant  at least five years after the  deferral or
upon retirement,  subject to certain exceptions. The Obligations are denominated
and payable in United States dollars.

     A  Participant's  right or the right of any other person to the Obligations
cannot  be  assigned,  alienated,  sold,  garnished,   transferred,  pledged  or
encumbered  except by a written  designation of a beneficiary under the Plan, by
written will, or by the laws of descent and distribution.

     The Obligations are not subject to redemption,  in whole or in part,  prior
to the individual payment dates specified by the Participants. However, Citicorp
reserves  the right to amend or terminate  the Plan at any time,  except that no
such amendment or termination  shall adversely affect the right of a Participant
to the Account Balance as of the date of such amendment or termination.

     The Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other
affirmative  or negative  covenant on the part of Citicorp.  No trustee has been
appointed  having  authority to take action with respect to the  Obligations and
each Participant will be responsible for acting  independently  with respect to,
among  other  things,  the giving of notices,  responding  to any  requests  for
consents,  waivers  or  amendments  pertaining  to  the  Obligations,  enforcing
covenants and taking action upon a default.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State
of  Delaware  empowers  a  corporation  to  indemnify  any  person who was or is
threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed  action,
suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,  administrative  or investigative
(other  than an action by or in the right of the  corporation)  by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the  corporation as a director,  officer,
employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and  amounts  paid in  settlement  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Subsection  (b) of Section 145  empowers a  corporation  to  indemnify  any
person  who  was or is a  party  or is  threatened  to be  made a  party  to any
threatened,  pending  or  completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the
corporation  to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person  acted  in  any of the  capacities  set  gorth  above,  against  expenses
(including   attorneys'  fees)  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in
connection  with the  defense or  settlement  of such action or suit if he acted
under similar standards,  except that no indemnification  may be made in respect
of any claim,  issue or matter as to which such person shall have been  adjudged
to be liable to the corporation  unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine
upon application that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

     Section 145 further  provides that to the extent a director or officer of a
corporation, among others, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b)
or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection therewith;  that expenses incurred by a director or officer in
defending  any action,  suit or  proceeding  may be paid by the  corporation  in
advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such  director  or officer to repay  such  amount if it is  ultimately
determined  that such  director or officer is not  entitled  to  indemnification
under Section 145; and that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
for by Section 145 shall not be deemed  exclusive  of any other  rights to which
the person seeking  indemnification  or advancement of expenses may be entitled;
and empowers the  corporation to purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of a
director or officer of the



<PAGE>



corporation,  among  others,  against  any  liability  asserted  against  him or
incurred  by him in any such  capacity  or  arising  out of his  status as such,
whether or not the  corporation  would have the power to  indemnify  him against
such liabilities under Section 145.

     The Restated  Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended,  of the registrant
provides,  in effect, that, to the extent and under the circumstances  permitted
by subsections  (a) and (b) of Section 145, the  registrant (i) shall  indemnify
any  person  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
action,  suit or proceeding  described in such subsections (a) and (b) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director  or officer of the  registrant  against
expenses,  judgments,  fines  and  amounts  paid in  settlement,  and  (ii)  may
indemnify  any person who was or is a party or is  threatened to be made a party
to any such action,  suit or  proceeding if such person was an employee or agent
of the  registrant  and is or was serving at the request of the  registrant as a
director, officer, employee or agent or another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust or other enterprise.  Such Restated Certificate of Incorporation
also  provides,  in effect,  that expenses  incurred by a director or officer in
defending a civil or criminal  action,  suit or proceeding  shall be paid by the
registrant  in  advance  of the final  disposition  thereof  upon  receipt of an
undertaking  by or on behalf of the  director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall  ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled
to be indemnified by the registrant. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,  the registrant  maintains
liability insurance covering directors and officers.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during any period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective  amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the  registration  statement or any material  change to such  information in the
registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each  such  post-effective  amendment  shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (b) The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  each filing of the  registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration  statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such  liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     the  year  immediately  preceding  the  Plan  Year in  which  the  Variable
     Compensation  Award to which such  election  relates  will be  earned.  The
     percentage  deferred  shall be stated as a whole  number and within a range

     5.1 MANDATORY DEFERRAL ACCOUNT

          5.1.1  INITIAL  CREDITING OF RESTRICTED  STOCK UNITS.  Once the dollar
     value of the Mandatory Deferral portion of the final Variable  Compensation
     Award has been  established,  the Corporation will credit  restricted stock
     units with an equivalent  value to the  Mandatory  Deferral  Accounts.  The
     number of restricted stock units credited to each Account shall be based on
     the average of the high and low share price of Citicorp common stock on the
     New York Stock  Exchange as reported in The Wall Street Journal for date of
     the grant.

          5.1.2 CREDITING OF GAINS, LOSSES, AND EARNINGS.  The Corporation shall
     credit gains,  losses, and earnings to the Mandatory Deferral Account as of
     the  last  business  day of each  month  and as of the  day  the  Mandatory

<PAGE>

     Deferral  Account Balance is paid or rolled over pursuant to paragraph 6.7.
     The Corporation  shall determine the value of restricted  stock units using
     the average of the high and low share price of Citicorp common stock on the
     New York Stock Exchange as reported in The Wall Street Journal for the last
     business day of the month. The crediting rate for such purposes shall equal
     the rate of return  (positive or  negative) as if the Account  balance were
     invested in Citicorp common stock.

          5.1.3 DIVIDENDS.  The Corporation shall credit  additional  amounts to
     the Mandatory  Deferral  Account to reflect any dividends  paid on Citicorp
     common  stock  while  the  Participant  has a  Mandatory  Deferral  Account
     Balance.  The dividend equivalents credited shall be based on the number of
     restricted  stock  units of such  common  stock  reflected  in the  Account
     balance on the Citicorp dividend record date of such dividend  equivalents.
     The  credit of  dividend  equivalents  shall  automatically  be  notionally
     re-invested  in  restricted  stock  units of  Citicorp  common  stock.  The
     Corporation  shall determine the number of restricted stock units using the
     average of the high and low share price of Citicorp common stock on the New
     York Stock  Exchange as reported in The Wall Street  Journal for the record
     date on which such dividends are declared.

          5.1.4 NO BROKERAGE FEES. The  Corporation  shall not reduce credits to
     the Mandatory Deferral Account by any brokerage fees.

     5.2 VOLUNTARY DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS.

     credit gains, losses, and earnings to the Voluntary Deferral Accounts as of
     the end of each month  (including  during the  Voluntary  Deferral  Account
     payment period) and as of the date the amount representing the last credits
     in the Account is paid.  The crediting  rate for such purposes  shall equal
     the  notional  rate of return  (positive  or  negative)  of the  Investment
     Alternative(s) selected by the Participant for the same period, taking into
     account  any  fees or  charges  which  would  have  been  incurred  had the
     Voluntary  Deferral  Account  actually  been  invested  in  the  Investment
     Alternatives.

          5.2.2 INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES.  The available Investment Alternatives,
     and the rules and procedures for allocating the Voluntary Deferral Accounts
     among  such   options   (including   the   frequency  of  changes  to  such
     allocations),  shall be determined by the Plan Committee from time to time.
     The Plan Committee, may in its sole discretion, amend the Plan's Investment
     Alternatives  from  time to  time.  In  addition,  the Plan  Committee  may
     restrict  Participants from selecting certain Investment  Alternatives,  or
     may alter  election  procedures,  if necessary or advisable in light of the
     requirements  of  Section  16(b) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934.
     Neither the Plan Committee, the Personnel Committee,  the Corporation,  the
     Board nor any member of the Board or any agent, employee or advisor of such
     bodies shall be liable for the  performance  or lack of  performance of any
     Investment Alternatives.

     5.3 VALUATION DATE. The valuation date for determining  credits to lump sum
payments (other than payments on the Participant's  Retirement) shall be the day
of the  month  on  which  the  event  giving  rise  to the  payment  (e.g.,  the
Participant's  termination of employment,  the Deferred Payment Year, or request
for Unscheduled  Withdrawal)  occurs. The valuation date for determining credits
to lump sum payments following  Retirement and to installment  payments shall be
November 30 of the year preceding the year in which such payments will be made.

Award by having such amount credited to a Voluntary Deferral Account. The credit

     necessary to retain a tax deduction.

          7.2.2  FORM OF  PAYMENT.  The  Corporation  shall  pay  the  Voluntary

     Participant, the Voluntary Deferral Account Balance shall be paid in a cash
     lump sum payment.  The Participant's  election shall be as indicated on the
     Participation   Election  Form  on  which  the  Participant  first  elected
     deferrals to such Account,  unless the Participant elected a different form
     of payment by a written  election filed with the Plan Committee at least 13
     months prior to the Deferred Payment Year, in which case the different form
     elected shall control. However, the Plan Committee, in its sole discretion,
     may ignore any change in the form of payment  elected by the Participant if
     it  determines  that the ability to make such changes  causes the Voluntary
     Deferral  Account  Balance to become  taxable to the  Participant  prior to
     actual receipt of the deferral payments. If installment payments apply, the
     Plan  Committee  shall  adjust  the amount of each  installment  to reflect
     gains,  losses,  and earnings  credited to the Account  during the deferral
     payment period.

<PAGE>

          7.2.3 TIMING.  The Corporation  shall commence  payments no later than
     January 31 of the  Deferred  Payment  Year unless  payment  would cause the
     Corporation  to lose a tax  deduction,  in which case the  Corporation  may
     postpone  payment  until the beginning of the next fiscal year or longer if
     necessary to retain a tax deduction.

     7.3 PRE-DETERMINED WITHDRAWALS

     The  provisions  of this  paragraph  7.3  apply if the  Participant  elects
in-service  distributions  from a Voluntary  Deferral  Account by  specifying  a
Deferred Payment Year on the  Participation  Election Form creating such Account
during which such Participant remains employed.

          7.3.1 ENTITLEMENT.  If the Participant continues to be employed by the
     Corporation to the Deferred  Payment Year, the  Corporation  shall commence
     payment to the Participant of the Voluntary Deferral Account Balance.

          7.3.2  FORM OF  BALANCE.  The  Corporation  shall  pay  the  Voluntary
     Deferral Account Balance in a cash lump sum or annual  installments  over a
     period of up to 15 years.

          7.3.3  TIMING.  The  Corporation  shall  pay or  commence  to pay  the
     Voluntary  Deferral  Account  Balance no later than  January 31 of the year
     specified,  unless  payment  would  cause  the  Corporation  to  lose a tax
     deduction  in which case the  Corporation  may postpone  payment  until the
     beginning  of the next fiscal year or longer if  necessary  to retain a tax
     deduction.

     7.4 LEAVE OF ABSENCE.  In the event of the Participant's  Leave of Absence,
the Corporation shall pay the Participant the Voluntary  Deferral Account in the
manner elected in his  Participation  Election Form,  unless payment would cause
the  Corporation  to lose a tax  deduction,  in which case the  Corporation  may
postpone  payment  until  the  beginning  of the next  fiscal  year or longer if
necessary to retain a tax deduction.  Upon any such Leave of Absence,  deferrals
into a Voluntary Deferral Account for the Participant will cease.

     7.5 EARLY  TERMINATION  BALANCES.  If the  employment of a  Participant  is
terminated prior to age 55 for reasons other than Leave of Absence or death, the
Corporation shall pay the Voluntary  Deferral Account Balance to the Participant
in a cash lump sum as soon as  practicable  after the date of such  termination;
unless payment would cause the  Corporation  to lose a tax  deduction,  in which
case the Corporation may postpone payment until the beginning of the next fiscal
year or longer if necessary to retain a tax deduction.

     7.6 UNSCHEDULED WITHDRAWALS

          7.6.1 GENERAL  PROVISIONS.  A Participant  may request an  Unscheduled
     Withdrawal  of all or any portion of the entire  amount  credited to one or
     more of the  Participant's  Voluntary  Deferral  Accounts,  subject  to the
     following  restrictions:  (i) the  minimum  withdrawal  shall be 25% of the
     balance of the specified Account,  (ii) an election to withdraw 75% or more
     of the Account  balance  shall be deemed to be an election to withdraw  the
     entire Account  balance,  (iii) an Unscheduled  Withdrawal may be made only
     once a year,  and (iv) the  Corporation  shall deduct (and retain) from the
     Unscheduled  Withdrawal a forfeiture amount of 10% of the amount withdrawn,
     or such other greater amount as the Plan Committee determines. In addition,
     if the  Participant  is  employed  by the  Corporation  at the  time of the
     withdrawal,  (i)  deferrals  into a  Voluntary  Deferral  Account  for  the
     Participant  shall cease,  and (ii) the  Participant  shall not  recommence
     deferrals under the Plan until after the end of the Plan Year following the
     Plan Year in which the election for the Unscheduled Withdrawal is made.

          7.6.2 TIMING OF PAYMENT.  The  Corporation  shall pay the  Unscheduled
     Withdrawal  amount as soon as practicable after receiving the request under
     paragraph  7.6.1,  unless payment would cause the Corporation to lose a tax
     deduction,  in which case the  Corporation  may postpone  payment until the
     beginning  of the next fiscal year or longer if  necessary  to retain a tax
     deduction.

     7.7  SURVIVOR  BALANCES.   If  the  Participant  dies  prior  to  or  after
termination  of  employment  the  Corporation  shall  pay to  the  Participant's
Beneficiary  an amount equal to the  Participant's  Voluntary  Deferral  Account
Balance. The Corporation shall pay such amount to the Beneficiary in a cash lump
sum as soon as practicable after the Participant's  death,  unless payment would
cause the Corporation to lose a tax deduction, in which case the Corporation may
postpone  payment  until  the  beginning  of the next  fiscal  year or longer if
necessary to retain a tax deduction.

     7.8 SMALL BALANCE EXCEPTION.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,  if the
sum of all  amounts  payable  to the  Participant  from all  Voluntary  Deferral
Accounts is no greater than $10,000 (or such other amount as the Plan  Committee
may  determine  from  time  to  time),  the  Plan  Committee  may,  in its  sole
discretion,  elect to pay such  balances  in a cash lump sum.  If the sum of all
installment  payments  is less  than  $300 (or  such  other  amount  as the Plan
Committee may determine from time to time),  the Plan Committee may, in its sole
discretion, elect to shorten the applicable payment period.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                         CONDITIONS RELATED TO BALANCES

     8.1  NONASSIGNABILITY.  The amounts in a Participant's  Accounts may not be
alienated, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated by or to any person or
entity, at any time or in any manner whatsoever,  and may not be garnished by or
made  subject in any manner to the claims of  creditors  of any  Participant  or
Beneficiary thereof or any other claimants.

<PAGE>

     8.2 PROVIDING INFORMATION. Participants shall be required to cooperate with
the  Corporation  by furnishing  any and all  information  requested by the Plan
Committee in order to facilitate the payment of Account balances thereunder.

     8.3 TAX  WITHHOLDING.  Any federal,  state or local income tax  withholding
requirements and Social Security or other employee tax  requirements  applicable
to deferrals under this Plan shall be withheld from the amount deferred,  with a
corresponding reduction in the amount credited to the Participant's Accounts.


                                    ARTICLE 9
                             ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

     The Plan Committee shall be appointed by the Personnel  Committee,  or such
Senior officer as delegated by the Committee,  and shall administer the Plan and
interpret,  construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms.  The
Plan  Committee  shall  further  establish,  adopt  or  revise  such  rules  and
regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the  administration of the
Plan.  All  decisions  of the Plan  Committee  shall be final and  binding.  The
individuals  serving on the Plan Committee  shall be Senior officers and, except
as prohibited by law, shall be indemnified  and held harmless by the Corporation
from any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees), to the
extent not covered by liability insurance arising out of any action taken by any
member of the Plan  Committee  with respect to the Plan,  unless such  liability
arises from the individual's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.


                                   ARTICLE 10
                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

     The Participant  shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person
or persons as  Beneficiary  (both primary and  contingent) to whom payment under
the Plan shall be made in the event of the Participant's  death. The Beneficiary
designation  shall  be  effective  when  it  is  submitted  in  writing  by  the
Participant  to the  Plan  Committee  during  the  Participant's  lifetime  on a
Beneficiary Designation Form prescribed by the Plan Committee.

     The  submission  of a new  Beneficiary  designation  shall cancel all prior
Beneficiary designations. Any finalized divorce or marriage (other than a common
law  marriage)  of a  Participant  subsequent  to  the  date  of  a  Beneficiary
designation  shall  revoke such  designation,  unless in the case of divorce the
previous  spouse was not  designated  as  Beneficiary  and unless in the case of
marriage  the  Participant's  new  spouse  has  previously  been  designated  as
Beneficiary.  The  spouse  of a married  Participant  domiciled  in a  community
property  jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a Beneficiary other than
the spouse.

<PAGE>

     If a Participant  fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if
the  Beneficiary  designation  is revoked by  marriage,  divorce,  or  otherwise
without  execution  of a new  designation,  or if every person  designated  as a
Beneficiary  predeceases the Participant or dies prior to complete  distribution
of the Participant's Account balances,  then the Plan Committee shall direct the
distribution of such balances to the Participant's estate.


                                   ARTICLE 11
                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

     11.1  AMENDMENT/TERMINATION  OF PLAN.  The Plan  Committee  may at any time
amend or terminate  the Plan in whole or in part,  provided,  however,  that any
such  amendment  or  termination  shall not  decrease  a  Participant's  Account
balances.  The Corporation  specifically  retains the right to amend the methods
for determining gains, losses, and earnings on accounts, provided, however, that
any such amendment shall not decrease the Participant's Account balances.

     11.2 CONSTRUCTIVE  RECEIPT  TERMINATION.  If the Plan Committee  determines
that  amounts  deferred  under  the Plan have been  constructively  received  by
Participants  and must be recognized as income for federal  income tax purposes,
the Plan shall terminate (or relevant portion thereof) and  distributions  shall
be made to Participants in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 11.3. The
determination  of the Plan Committee  under this paragraph 11.2 shall be binding
and conclusive.

     11.3 PAYMENT OF  BALANCES.  If the  Corporation  terminates  the Plan,  the
Corporation shall pay to the Participant  Voluntary Deferral Account Balances in
monthly  installments over a 36-month period,  with crediting of gains,  losses,
and earnings under Article 5 continuing during such period;  provided,  however,
that if such termination  affects only a portion of the Plan under Section 11.2,
such  payments  shall be made only with respect to Account  balances for which a
constructive receipt determination shall have been made.


                                   ARTICLE 12
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York,  except where such laws are preempted by
ERISA.

     12.2 CAPTIONS.  The captions of the articles and paragraphs of the Plan are
for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction
of any of its provisions.

<PAGE>

     12.3 CLAIMS/REVIEW PROCEDURE. The Corporation shall notify a Participant in
writing,  within 90 days after his written application for Account balances that
have not been paid,  of his  eligibility  or non  eligibility  to  receive  such
amounts.  If  the  Corporation  denies  all  or  a  part  of  the  Participant's
application,  the  notice  shall  set forth (1) the  specific  reasons  for such
denial,  (2) a specific  reference  to the  provisions  of the Plan on which the
denial  is  based,  and  (3) if  applicable,  a  description  of any  additional
information or material  necessary for the Corporation to further  consider such
claim.  If the  Corporation  determines  that  there are  special  circumstances
requiring  additional time to make a decision,  the Corporation shall notify the
Participant  of the  special  circumstances  and the date by which a decision is
expected  to be made,  and may  extend the time for up to an  additional  90-day
period.

     The  Participant  shall  have the  opportunity  to have  the  Corporation's
conclusions reviewed by the Corporation by filing a petition for review with the
Corporation   within  60  days  after  receipt  of  the  notice  issued  by  the
Corporation. The petition shall state the specific reasons which the Participant
believes  entitle him to balances or to greater or different  Account  balances.
Within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the petition, the Corporation
shall afford the Participant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his
position  to the  Corporation  orally or in  writing,  and the  Participant  (or
counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Corporation
shall  notify the  Participant  of its  decision  in  writing  within the 60-day
period,  stating specifically the basis of its decision. If, because of the need
for a hearing, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred
for up to another 60-day period at the election of the  Corporation,  but notice
of this deferral shall be given to the Participant. In the event of the death of
a Participant, the same procedures shall apply to the Beneficiary.

     12.4  CHANGE  OF  CONTROL.  In  the  event  of a  Change  of  Control,  the
Corporation  shall pay to the  Participant,  as soon as  practicable  after such
Change of  Control,  all  Mandatory  Deferral  Account  Balances  and  Voluntary
Deferral Account Balances in a cash lump sum.

     12.5  EMPLOYMENT  NOT  GUARANTEED.  Nothing  contained  in the Plan nor any
action taken  thereunder  shall be construed as a contract of  employment  or as
giving any Participant any right to continued employment with the Corporation.

     12.6 GENDER, SINGULAR AND PLURAL. All pronouns and variations thereof shall
be deemed to refer to the  masculine or feminine,  as the identity of the person
or persons may require. As the context may require,  the singular may be read as
the plural and the plural as the singular.

     12.7 NOTICE.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the
Corporation under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered,
or sent by  registered  or certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  to the
principal  office of the  Corporation,  directed  to the  attention  of the Plan
Committee.  Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if
delivery is made by registered or certified  mail, as of the delivery date shown
on the receipt therefor.

     12.8 STATUS OF PLAN. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained
primarily to provide deferred  compensation for "a select group of management or
highly compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of
ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.

<PAGE>

     12.9  SUCCESSORS  OF THE  CORPORATION.  The rights and  obligations  of the
Corporation  under the Plan shall  inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding
upon, the successors and assigns of the Corporation.

     12.10 TRANSFERS AMONG SUBSIDIARIES.  If a Participant  transfers employment
to a  Citicorp  subsidiary  which  does  not  participate  in  the  Plan,  or to
employment whereby the Participant no longer qualifies as an Eligible Executive,
then all deferrals into a Voluntary  Deferral Account for the Participant  shall
cease, and the Participant will be unable to make future deferral elections.  In
addition,  the amounts  credited  to the  Participant's  Accounts  prior to such
transfer  shall  continue to be credited  with gains,  losses,  and earnings and
become payable under the terms of the Plan as if employment  with the subsidiary
is continued  employment with the Corporation.  If the Participant  subsequently
transfers to a Citicorp  subsidiary  which does  participate  in the Plan, or to
employment whereby the Participant  requalifies as an Eligible  Executive,  then
the  Participant  will again  become  eligible  to  participate  by making a new
deferral election during the enrollment period.

     12.11  VALIDITY.  If any  provision  of the Plan is held  invalid,  void or
unenforceable,  the same  shall  not  affect,  in any  respect  whatsoever,  the
validity of any other provisions of the Plan.

     12.12 WAIVER OF BREACH.  The waiver by the Corporation of any breach of any
provision of the Plan by the Participant  shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant.

New York, New York  10043

Dear Sirs:

I am an Associate  General  Counsel of Citibank,  N.A. and as such have acted as
counsel for Citicorp in connection with the  Registration  Statement on Form S-8
(the  "Registration  Statement") to be filed by Citicorp with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission on the date hereof for the purpose of registering under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended  (the  "Act"),  $100,000,000  of  deferred
compensation  obligations  (the  "Obligations")  which will represent  unsecured
obligations of Citicorp to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance
with the terms of the  Citicorp  Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the  "Plan").  In
connection  therewith I have examined such corporate  records,  certificates and
other  documents  and  reviewed  such  questions  of law  as I  have  considered
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.

On the basis of such  examination  and review,  I advise you that, in my opinion
that, when issued in the manner  provided in the Plan, the  Obligations  will be
valid and binding  obligations  of  Citicorp,  enforceable  against  Citicorp in
accordance  with their terms,  except as the same may be limited by  bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization  or other  similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.  In giving  this  consent,  I do not  thereby  admit that I am in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Stephen E. Dietz

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Citicorp:

the years in the  three-year  period ended  December  31, 1994,  and the related
consolidated  balance sheets of Citibank,  N.A. and  subsidiaries as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and to the reference to our firm under the headings "Experts"
