October 16, 2012 8:13 AM EDT
Shares of Citigroup (NYSE: C) are trading down 2.4 percent on news CEO Vikram Pandit will step down. The board unanimously elected Michael Corbat CEO and a director of the Board.

From Pandit:
Mr. Pandit said: Thanks to the dedication and sacrifice of people across Citigroup, we have emerged from the financial crisis as a strong institution. Citigroup is well-positioned for continued profitability and growth, having refocused the franchise on the basics of banking. Given the progress we have made in the last few years, I have concluded that now is the right time for someone else to take the helm at Citigroup. I could not be leaving the Company in better hands. Mike is the right person to tackle the difficult challenges ahead, with a 29-year record of achievement and leadership at this Company. I will truly miss the wonderful people throughout this organization. But I know that together with Mike they will continue to build on the progress we have made
