   This Amendment No. 5 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
initially filed on March 23, 2000 by Citigroup Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Parent"), The Travelers Insurance Group Inc., a Connecticut corporation
(the "Purchaser") and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and
Travelers Property Casualty Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
relating to the third-party tender offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per
Share, of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase dated March 23, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase"), as
amended by the First Supplement thereto, dated April 4, 2000 (the "First
Supplement"), the Second Supplement thereto, dated April 6, 2000 (the "Second
Supplement") and in the revised Letter of Transmittal (which, together with
any amendments or supplements thereto, constitute the "Offer").

   The information in each of the Offer to Purchase, the First Supplement and
the Second Supplement, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby
expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all the items of
this Schedule TO, except as otherwise set forth below. Unless otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective
meanings given such terms in the Offer to Purchase, the First Supplement or
the Second Supplement.

ITEM 5. PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.

   On April 14, 2000, the parties amended the Merger Agreement to (i)
increase the Offer Price to $41.95, and (ii) amend the Company's treatment of
the Merger Consideration paid in respect of Restricted Shares under the CAP
Plan to provide for the Merger Consideration paid in respect of Restricted
Shares under the CAP Plan to be, at the election of the holders of Restricted
Shares under the CAP Plan, either (A) deposited into a grantor trust and
accrue interest at a fixed rate of return or (B) become a restricted award of
shares of Parent common stock with a value equal to the value of such Merger
Consideration calculated using the average closing price for Parent common
stock for the five trading days prior to the Effective Time, in either case
subject to the same conditions and restrictions of the CAP Plan.

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

   Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

   (a)     State Insurance Approvals. Based on communications between the
           Company and certain of the states in which the Company's insurance
           subsidiaries are domiciled, the Company has obtained all necessary
           approvals to consummate the Offer and the Merger.

           Litigation. On April 6, 2000, the Plaintiffs withdrew their request
           for preliminary injunction filed in the Court of Chancery of the
           State of Delaware and thereby canceled the hearing originally
           scheduled for April 14, 2000.

ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

 (d)(2)     Amendment, dated April 14, 2000, to the Agreement and Plan of

            The Travelers Insurance Group Inc. and Travelers Property Casualty
            Corp.

                AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

   Amendment, dated as of April 14, 2000, to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of March 22, 2000, by and among Citigroup
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), The Travelers Insurance Group Inc.,
a Connecticut corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
(the "Purchaser"), and Travelers Property Casualty Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meaning assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

   WHEREAS, Section 8.03 of the Merger Agreement provides that the Merger
Agreement may be amended pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the
Company following approval of such action by the Special Committee and signed
by Parent and the Purchaser; and

   WHEREAS, each of Parent, the Purchaser and the Special Committee on behalf
of the Company has approved this Amendment.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

   1. Amendment to Offer Price. The Merger Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the reference to $41.50 per Share in the second recital of the
Merger Agreement and replacing it with "$41.95 per Share."

   2. Amendment to Company Benefit Plans.

   (a) Section 4.08 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
first sentence and replacing it with the following:

       "Each of the Nomination, Compensation and Corporate Governance
       Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Incentive
       Compensation Sub-Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
       has adopted a valid and binding rule to provide that the restricted
       shares of Company Common Stock ("Restricted Shares") granted under the
       Company's Capital Accumulation Plan (the "CAP Plan") shall be
       converted into the Merger Consideration in the Merger and such Merger
       Consideration, as elected by the holders of such shares for which an
       election under Section 83(b) of the Code (a "Section 83(b) Election")
       had not been made, (i) shall be deposited into a grantor trust, to be
       established by the Company, which shall accrue interest at an annual
       rate of 6.3% from the Effective Time until the date(s) such award(s)
       vest, and which shall otherwise be subject to the same conditions and
       restrictions of the existing CAP Plan (the "Trust"), or (ii) shall
       become an award equal to the value of such Merger Consideration,
       consisting of shares of Parent common stock, with the number of shares
       of Parent common stock received being calculated using the average
       closing price for Parent common stock for the five trading days prior
       to the Effective Time, and which award shall otherwise be subject to
       the same conditions and restrictions of the CAP Plan (the "Parent
       Stock Award")."

   (b) Section 6.07(a) is amended by deleting the first sentence and
replacing it with the following:

       "(a) Parent or the Company shall provide adequate written notice,
       prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer, to each holder of
       Restricted Shares under the CAP Plan with respect to which a Section
       83(b) Election had not been made, that such holder shall prior to the
       consummation of the Tender Offer elect to cause an amount equal to the
       Merger Consideration to be paid with respect to such holder's
       Restricted Shares to (i) be deposited in the Trust or (ii) become a
       Parent Stock Award."

   3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws
that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws
thereof, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of federal law apply.
<PAGE>
   4. Miscellaneous.

   (a) Except as expressly amended and supplemented hereby, the Merger
Agreement remains in full force and effect.

   (b) This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute
one and the same agreement.

   In witness whereof, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to be
executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized.
