Principal-Protected Notes

Based Upon Three Baskets of Currencies

Due                     , 2010

 

This offering summary represents a summary of the terms and conditions of the notes. We encourage you to read the preliminary pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus related to this offering.

 

How The Notes Work

 

Principal-Protected Notes Based upon Three Baskets of Currencies Due April 2010 (the “Notes”) are hybrid investments that combine characteristics of currency and fixed-income instruments. Similar to a fixed-income investment, these Notes offer investors the safety of 100% principal protection if held at maturity. However, the Notes do not offer current income, which means that you will not receive any periodic interest or other payments on the Notes during the term of the Notes.

 

At maturity, the Notes will pay an amount that will depend on the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among (i) the Currency Basket A Return, which measures the average percentage change in the value of the Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Philippine peso and Singapore dollar (the “Basket A Currencies”) relative to the U.S. dollar from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date; (ii) the Currency Basket B Return, which measures the average percentage change in the value of the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone and Russian ruble (the “Basket B Currencies”) relative to the U.S. dollar from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date; and (iii) the Currency Basket C Return, which measures the average percentage change in the value of the Czech koruna, Polish zŁoty and Turkish lira (the “Basket C Currencies”) relative to the U.S. dollar from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date.

 

The Notes are currency basket-linked securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. that have a maturity of approximately two years. You will receive at maturity, for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes you hold, an amount in cash equal to U.S.$1,000 plus a Supplemental Return Amount, which may be zero or positive. The Supplemental Return Amount will depend on arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage). If

the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage), each of the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return as measured by each relevant exchange rate, from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date, is positive, then the amount you receive at maturity will equal (i) US$1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) US$1,000 and (b) the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage). If the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage), each of the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return as measured by each relevant exchange rate, from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date, is negative or zero, then the amount you receive at maturity will equal US$1,000 per Note. This will be true even if the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage) is positive at one or more times during the term of the Notes.

 

The performance of each of the Basket Currencies is measured by its exchange rate. Each exchange rate reflects the amount of the relevant Basket Currency that can be exchanged for one U.S. dollar. Thus, an increase in a Basket Currency’s exchange rate means that the value of that currency has decreased. For example, if the USD/BRL Exchange Rate has increased from 1.00 to 2.00, it means the value of one Brazilian real (as measured against the U.S. dollar) has decreased from US$1.00 to US$0.50. Conversely, a decrease in a Basket Currency’s exchange rate means that the value of that


 

1


currency has increased. Increases in the values of the Basket Currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may lead to a higher return on your Notes, while decreases in the values of the Basket Currencies may lead to a lower return on your Notes. Because each Basket Return Percentage will be based on the sum of the Weighted Currency Returns for each of the Basket Currencies, a significant increase in the value of one Basket Currency may be substantially or entirely offset by a decrease in the value of one or more of the other Basket Currencies.

 

Because the Notes are principal protected, the payment you receive at maturity will not be less than the amount of your initial investment in the Notes, even though the amount payable to you at maturity is dependent upon the performance of the Basket Currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, as measured by each relevant exchange rate.

 

Type of Investor

 

These Notes are not a suitable investment for investors who require regular fixed-income payments since no payments will be made prior to maturity. These Notes may be an appropriate investment for the following types of investors:

 

n  

Investors looking for exposure to currency basket-linked investments on a principal-protected basis but who are willing to forego current income.

 

n  

Investors expecting appreciation of the Basket Currencies relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Notes.

 

n  

Investors who seek to add a currency basket-linked investment to their portfolio for diversification purposes.

 

The Notes are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company. The Notes will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding, and, as a result of the guarantee, any payments due under the Notes will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Inc.

Benefits of the Notes

 

n  

Return Potential

The Supplemental Return Amount, if any, payable at maturity is based on the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return, enabling you to participate in the potential increase in the value of the Basket Currencies during the term of the Notes without directly investing in the Basket Currencies.

 

n  

Principal Protection

On the Maturity Date, we will pay you the principal amount of the Notes you then hold regardless of the performance of the Basket A Currencies, the Basket B Currencies and the Basket C Currencies.

 

n  

Diversification

The Notes are based on the performance of the Basket Currencies and may allow you to diversify an existing portfolio mix of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash.

 

Key Risk Factors for the Notes

 

n  

The Supplemental Return Amount May Be Zero

If the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return (expressed as a percentage) is negative or zero, the payment you receive at maturity will be limited to the amount of your initial investment in the Notes. This will be true even if the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return is greater than zero at one or more times during the term of the Notes, but is negative or zero on the Valuation Date.

 

n  

Reference to Three Baskets of Currencies May Lower Your Return

Because the amount of the maturity payment will depend on the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return, any increase in the value of one basket return may be offset by a decrease in the value of another basket return, thereby resulting in a lower return or no return on your investment. In

addition, because each of the Currency Basket A Return, Currency Basket B Return and Currency Basket C Return will be based on the sum of the Weighted Currency Return for each Basket Currency included in the basket, a significant change in the value of one or more of the other currencies in the same basket relative to the U.S. dollar may be substantially or entirely offset by an opposite change in the value of one or more of the other currencies in the same basket relative to the U.S. dollar during the term of the Notes.

 

n  

No Periodic Payments

You will not receive any periodic payments of interest or any other periodic payments on the Notes.

 

n  

Potential for a Lower Comparable Yield

The Notes do not pay any interest. As a result, if the arithmetic average of the two greatest amounts among the Currency Basket A Return, the Currency Basket B Return and the Currency Basket C Return is less than        %, the effective yield on your Notes will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.

 

n  

Secondary Market May Not Be Liquid

The Notes will not be listed on any exchange. There is currently no secondary market for the Notes. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and/or other of Citigroup Funding’s affiliated dealers currently intend, but are not obligated, to make a market in the Notes. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the Notes.

 

n  

Resale Value of the Notes May Be Lower Than Your Initial Investment

Due to, among other things, changes in the value of the Basket Currencies, interest rates and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.’s perceived creditworthiness, the Notes may trade at prices below their initial issue price. You could receive substantially less than the amount of your investment if you sell your Notes prior to maturity.

 

n  

Citigroup Inc. Credit Risk

The Notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the Notes.

n  

Fees and Conflicts

Citigroup Financial Products and its affiliates involved in this offering are expected to receive compensation for activities and services provided in connection with the Notes. Further, Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the Notes through the trading of the relevant currencies or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the Basket Currencies by one or more of its affiliates. Each of Citigroup Funding’s or its affiliates’ hedging activities and Citigroup Financial Products’s role as the Calculation Agent for the Notes may result in a conflict of interest.

 

The Basket Currencies and Exchange Rates

 

General

 

The Basket A Currencies are the Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Philippine peso and Singapore dollar; the Basket B Currencies are the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone and Russian ruble; and the Basket C Currencies are the Czech koruna, Polish zŁoty and Turkish lira (collectively, the “Basket Currencies”). Exchange rates are used to measure the performance of each of the Basket Currencies.

 

The relevant exchange rates are foreign exchange spot rates that measure the relative values of two currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real in the case of the USD/BRL Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar in the case of the USD/CAD Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan in the case of the USD/CNY Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Czech koruna in the case of the USD/CZK Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee in the case of the USD/INR Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso in the case of the USD/MXN Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Norwegian krone in the case of the USD/NOK Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Philippine peso in the case of the USD/PHP Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Polish zŁoty in the case of the USD/PLN Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Russian ruble in the case of the USD/RUB Exchange Rate, the U.S. dollar and the Singapore dollar in the case of the USD/SGD Exchange Rate

and the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira in the case of the USD/TRY Exchange Rate. Each exchange rate is expressed as an amount of the relevant Basket Currency that can be exchanged for one U.S. dollar. Thus, an increase in the value of any Basket Currency will cause a decrease in its exchange rate, while a decrease in the value of any Basket Currency will cause an increase in its exchange rate.

 

The Brazilian real is the official currency of the Federative Republic of Brazil.

 

The Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada.

 

The Chinese yuan is the official currency of the People’s Republic of China.

 

The Czech koruna is the official currency of the Czech Republic.

 

The Indian rupee is the official currency of the Republic of India.

 

The Mexican peso is the official currency of the United Mexican States.

 

The Norwegian krone is the official currency of the Kingdom of Norway.

 

The Philippine peso is the official currency of the Republic of the Philippines.

 

The Polish zŁoty is the official currency of the Republic of Poland.

 

The Russian ruble is the official currency of the Russian Federation.

 

The Singapore dollar is the official currency of the Republic of Singapore.

 

The Turkish lira is the official currency of the Republic of Turkey.

 

We have obtained all information in this offering summary relating to the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, Indian rupee, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Philippine peso, Polish zŁoty, Russian ruble, Singapore dollar and Turkish lira and the relevant exchange rates from public sources, without independent verification. Currently the relevant exchange rates are published in The Wall Street Journal and other financial publications of general circulation. However, for purposes of calculating amounts due to holders of the Notes, the value of each Basket Currency will be determined as described in “Preliminary Terms” above.

In December 2003, the Grand National Assembly of the Republic of Turkey passed a law to remove six zeros from the denomination of the Turkish lira (replacing previous lira at a rate of 1 new Turkish lira = 1,000,000 old Turkish lira. This change became effective on January 1, 2005. The data in this table and in the relevant graph below have been adjusted to reflect this revaluation.

Hypothetical Maturity Payment Examples

 

The examples below show the hypothetical maturity payments to be made on an investment of US$1,000 principal amount of Notes based on various Ending Exchange Rates of the Basket Currencies. The following examples of hypothetical maturity payment calculations are based on the following assumptions:

 

n Pricing Date: April 24, 2008

 

n Issue Date: April 29, 2008

 

n Principal amount: US$1,000 per Note

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/BRL Exchange Rate: 1.6700

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/CAD Exchange Rate: 0.9700

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/CNY Exchange Rate: 7.1000

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/CZK Exchange Rate: 16.3000

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/INR Exchange Rate: 39.25

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/MXN Exchange Rate: 10.6000

 

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/NOK Exchange Rate: 5.100

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/PHP Exchange Rate: 40.500

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/PLN Exchange Rate: 2.30

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/RUB Exchange Rate: 23.9000

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/SGD Exchange Rate: 1.3800

 

n Starting Exchange Rate of the USD/TRY Exchange Rate: 1.150

 

n Principal Protection at Maturity: 100% (US$1,000 per Note)

 

n Maturity Date: April 29, 2010

 

n The Notes are purchased on the Issue Date and are held through the Maturity Date.


 

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. The actual maturity payment will depend on the actual Supplemental Return Amount, which, in turn, will depend on the actual Starting Exchange Rate and Ending Exchange Rate of each Basket Currency.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for initial U.S. investors that hold the Notes as capital assets.

 

All investors should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences particular to their situation.

 

Because the Notes are contingent payment debt obligations of Citigroup Funding, U.S. holders of the Notes will be required to include original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in gross income on a constant yield basis over the term of the Notes. This tax OID (computed at an assumed comparable yield of         % compounded semiannually) will be includible in a U.S. holder’s gross income (as ordinary income) over the term of the Notes (although holders will receive no payments on the Notes prior to maturity), and generally will be reported to U.S. non-corporate holders on an IRS Form 1099. The assumed comparable yield is based on a rate at which Citigroup Funding would issue a similar debt obligation with no contingent payments. The amount of tax OID is based on an assumed amount representing all amounts payable on the Notes. This assumed amount is neither a prediction nor guarantee of the actual yield of, or payments to be made in respect of, the Notes. If the amount we actually pay at maturity is, in fact, less than this assumed amount, then a U.S. holder will have recognized taxable income in periods prior to maturity that exceeds that holder’s economic income from holding the Notes during such periods (with an offsetting ordinary loss). If the amount we actually pay at maturity is, in fact, higher than this assumed amount, then a U.S. holder will be required to include such additional amount as ordinary income. If a U.S. holder disposes of the Notes, the U.S. holder will be required to treat any gain recognized upon the disposition of the Notes as ordinary income (rather than capital gain).

 

In the case of a holder of the Notes that is not a U.S. person all payments made with respect

to the Notes and any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the Notes should not be subject to U.S. income or withholding tax, provided that the holder complies with applicable certification requirements (including in general the furnishing of an IRS form W-8 or substitute form) and such payments and gain are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such holder.

 

A Note beneficially owned by a non-U.S. holder who at the time of death is neither a resident nor citizen of the U.S. should not be subject to U.S. federal estate taxes.

 

ERISA and IRA Purchase Considerations

 

Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, entities the assets of which are deemed to constitute the assets of such plans, governmental or other plans subject to laws substantially similar to ERISA and retirement accounts (including Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE plans, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities) are permitted to purchase the Notes as long as either (A)(1) no Citigroup Global Markets affiliate or employee is a fiduciary to such plan or retirement account that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the Notes or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (2) such plan or retirement account is paying no more than adequate consideration for the Notes or (B) its acquisition and holding of the Notes is not prohibited by any such provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition.

 

However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the Notes if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of Notes by the account, plan or annuity.

 

You should refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for more information.
