Citigroup Inc., the U.S. bank that received the largest taxpayer bailout, said it would reinstate a dividend at 1 cent per share in the second quarter after a planned 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock.

Citigroup, which hasn’t paid a quarterly dividend since 2009 because of the financial crisis, will exchange 1 new share for every 10 of common stock after the close of trading on May 6, the New York-based bank said today in a statement.
