Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit awarded $10.8 million

Citigroup Inc awarded Chief Executive Vikram Pandit $10.82 million of compensation in 2008, a year when the government propped up the bank with $45 billion of capital.

Citigroup also nominated four new independent directors to bolster the banking and financial expertise on its board, including Anthony Santomero, 62, a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

The bank faces increased government pressure to right itself after more than $85 billion of writedowns and credit losses since the middle of 2007.
