In this Nov. 7, 2011 photo, Vikram Pandit, CEO of CitiGroup, speaks at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association annual meeting, in New York. At its annual meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 55 percent of the bank’s shareholders voted against the pay packages that have been granted to Citigroup’s top executives, including Pandit’s $15 million for last year and $10 million retention pay. The vote is advisory and won’t force the bank to change its pay practices, but it did send a powerful message of discontent to Citi’s leadership. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)
