Callable Range Accrual Notes Due 2016

 

  The notes bear interest at the rate of 8.38% per annum, from and including September 27, 2006 to but excluding September 27, 2007. Unless otherwise called by us, from and including September 27, 2007 to but excluding the maturity date, the notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.38% per annum on each calendar day when the difference between the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap Rate (“CMS30”) and the 2-year Constant Maturity Swap Rate (“CMS2”), which difference we refer to as the CMS Rate Spread, is determined to be greater than or equal to -0.05%. On each calendar day on which the CMS Rate Spread is determined to be less than -0.05%, no interest will accrue on the notes. Interest on the notes is payable quarterly on the 27th of each March, June, September and December, beginning on December 27, 2006 and ending on the maturity date.

 

  If not previously called by us, the notes will mature on September 27, 2016. At maturity you will receive an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes you then hold, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

  We may call the notes, in whole and not in part, for mandatory redemption on each interest payment date on or after September 27, 2007, upon not less than ten calendar days’ notice. Following an exercise of our call right, you will receive an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes you then hold, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

  The notes will be issued in minimum denominations and integral multiples of US$10,000.

 

  We will not apply to list the notes on any exchange.

 

Investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “ Risk Factors Relating to the Notes” beginning on page PS-5.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the notes or determined that this prospectus, prospectus supplement and pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 


 

The notes are not deposits or savings accounts but are unsecured debt obligations of Citigroup Funding Inc. and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

SUMMARY INFORMATION — Q&A

 

This summary includes questions and answers that highlight selected information from the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement and this pricing supplement to help you understand the Callable Range Accrual Notes due 2016. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, prospectus supplement and pricing supplement to understand fully the terms of the notes, as well as the principal tax and other considerations that are important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes. You should, in particular, carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes,” which highlights a number of risks, to determine whether an investment in the notes is appropriate for you. All of the information set forth below is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed explanation set forth elsewhere in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

 

What Are the Notes?

 

The notes are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. 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 the guarantee of any payments due under the notes will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup. The notes mature on September 27, 2016, unless they are previously called by us.

 

You may transfer the notes only in minimum denominations and integral multiples of US$10,000. You will not have the right to receive physical certificates evidencing your ownership except under limited circumstances. Instead, we will issue the notes in the form of a global certificate, which will be held by the Depository Trust Company or its nominee. Direct and indirect participants in DTC will record beneficial ownership of the notes by individual investors. Accountholders in the Euroclear or Clearstream clearance systems may hold beneficial interests in the notes through the accounts that each of these systems maintains as a participant in DTC. You should refer to the sections, “Description of the Notes — Book-Entry System” in the prospectus supplement and the section “Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the prospectus.

 

Will I Receive Interest on the Notes?

 

We expect to pay interest in cash quarterly on the 27th of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 27, 2006 and ending September 27, 2016. We refer to each of these quarterly payment dates as an interest payment date and each three-month period from and including an interest payment date to and including the day immediately preceding the next interest payment date, maturity or any earlier date upon which the notes are redeemed as an interest calculation period.

 

The notes bear interest at the rate of 8.38% per annum, from and including September 27, 2006 to but excluding September 27, 2007.

 

Unless the notes are otherwise called by us, from and including September 27, 2007 to but excluding the maturity date, the interest payable on the notes will vary and may be zero. The interest rate for each interest calculation period from and including September 27, 2007 to but excluding maturity will equal the product of (x) 8.38% per annum and (y) number of accrual days in the interest calculation period divided by the number of calendar days in the interest calculation period. An accrual day is any calendar day in an interest calculation period on which the CMS Rate Spread is determined to be greater than or equal to -0.05%. No interest will accrue on the notes on any calendar day on which the CMS Rate Spread is determined to be less than -0.05%. As a result, interest payments could be zero beginning December 27, 2007.

 

The structure of the interest payments on the notes differs from notes that bear interest at a fixed rate and notes that bear interest at a rate directly related to the CMS Rate Spread or another index. You should understand how the interest rate calculations work before you invest in the notes. You can find more information in the section “Description of the Notes — Interest” in this pricing supplement.

What Will I Receive at Maturity of the Notes?

 

The notes mature on September 27, 2016, unless they are previously called by us. You will receive at maturity, unless your notes have been previously called by us, an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes you then hold, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

What Will I Receive if Citigroup Funding Calls the Notes?

 

We may call the notes, in whole and not in part, for mandatory redemption on each interest payment date on or after September 27, 2007, upon not less than ten calendar days’ notice to holders of the notes in the manner described in the section “Description of the Notes—Call Right” in this pricing supplement. If we exercise our call right, you will receive an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes you then hold, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

 

What Will I Receive if I Sell the Notes Prior to Call or Maturity?

 

You will only receive 100% of the principal amount of your notes if you hold the notes at call or maturity. If you choose to sell your notes before the notes are called or mature, you are not guaranteed to receive the full principal amount of the notes you sell. You should refer to the sections “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes—The Price at Which You Will Be Able to Sell Your Notes Prior to Maturity Will Depend on a Number of Factors and May Be Substantially Less Than the Amount You Originally Invest” and “—You May Not Be Able to Sell Your Notes if an Active Trading Market for the Notes Does Not Develop” in this pricing supplement for further information.

 

What Has the CMS Rate Spread Been Historically?

 

We have provided a table showing what the CMS Rate Spread has been historically, since 2001. You can find this table in the section “Historical Data on the CMS Rate Spread” in this pricing supplement. We have provided this historical information to help you evaluate the behavior of the relevant Constant Maturity Swap Rates in recent years. However, past performance is not necessarily indicative of how each of CMS30 and CMS2 will perform in the future.

 

Can You Tell Me More About the Effect of Citigroup Funding’s Hedging Activity?

 

We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. This hedging activity will likely involve trading in instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based on the relevant Constant Maturity Swap Rates. This hedging activity may result in us or our affiliates receiving a profit, even if the market value of the notes declines. The costs of maintaining or adjusting this hedging activity could affect the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. You should refer to “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes — The Price at Which You Will Be Able to Sell Your Notes Prior to Maturity Will Depend on a Number of Factors and May Be Substantially Less Than the Amount You Originally Invest” in this pricing supplement, “Risk Factors — Citigroup Funding’s Hedging Activity Could Result in a Conflict of Interest” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus.

 

What Are the U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the Notes?

 

Payments of stated interest on the notes will be taxable as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with the holder’s method of tax accounting). Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a note, a holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and such holder’s tax basis in such note. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the note for more than one year at the time of disposition.

Can You Tell Me More About Citigroup and Citigroup Funding?

 

Citigroup is a diversified global financial services holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to consumer and corporate customers. Citigroup Funding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup whose business activities consist primarily of providing funds to Citigroup and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.

 

What Is the Role of Citigroup Funding’s and Citigroup’s Affiliates, Citigroup Global Markets and Citigroup Financial Products?

 

Our affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets, is the agent for the offering and sale of the notes. After the initial offering, Citigroup Global Markets and/or other of our broker-dealer affiliates currently intends, but is not obligated, to buy and sell the notes to create a secondary market for holders of the notes, and may engage in other activities described in the section “Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. However, neither Citigroup Global Markets nor any of these affiliates will be obligated to engage in any market-making activities, or continue those activities once it has started them.

 

Our affiliate, Citigroup Financial Products, will act as calculation agent for the notes. Potential conflicts of interest may exist between Citigroup Financial Products as calculation agent and you as a holder of the notes.

 

Are There Any Risks Associated With My Investment?

 

Yes, the notes are subject to a number of risks. Please refer to the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

 

PS-4


Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE NOTES

 

An investment in the notes entails significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including, among other things, fluctuations in the levels of CMS30 and CMS2, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

 

The Amount of Interest Payable on the Notes Will Vary and May Be Zero

 

Because CMS30 and CMS2 are floating rates the CMS Spread will fluctuate. Beginning on September 27, 2007, you will not earn interest on any day on which the CMS Rate Spread is less than -0.05%. For every day during an interest calculation period on which the CMS Rate Spread is less than -0.05%, the applicable interest rate for that interest calculation period will be reduced, and if the CMS Rate Spread remains less than -0.05% for an entire interest calculation period, the applicable interest rate for that interest calculation period will be zero.

 

The Notes May Be Called at Our Option, Which Limits Your Ability to Accrue Interest Over the Full Term of the Notes

 

We may call all of the notes on any interest payment date on or after September 27, 2007. In the event that we call the notes, you will receive only the principal amount of your investment in the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest to and including the call date. In this case, you will not have the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest to the original maturity date of the notes.

 

The Level of CMS30 and CMS2 Will Affect Our Decision to Call the Notes

 

It is more likely we will call the notes prior to their maturity date if the CMS Rate Spread is higher than -0.05%, resulting in semi-annual interest payments on the notes in an amount greater than that which would be payable on a conventional, fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity. If we call the notes prior to their maturity date, you may not be able to invest in other securities with a similar level of risk that yield as much interest as the notes.

 

The Yield on the Notes May Be Lower Than the Yield On a Standard Debt Security of Comparable Maturity

 

From and including September 27, 2007, the notes bear interest at the rate of 8.38% per annum on each calendar day when the CMS Rate Spread is determined to be greater than or equal to -0.05%. As a result, if the CMS Rate Spread remains less than -0.05% for a substantial number of days during an interest calculation period, the effective yield on your notes for such interest calculation period will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.

 

The Price at Which You Will Be Able to Sell Your Notes Prior to Maturity Will Depend on a Number of Factors and May Be Substantially Less Than the Amount You Originally Invest

 

We believe that the value of the notes in any secondary market will be affected by supply of and demand for the notes, the level of the CMS Rate Spread and a number of other factors. Some of these factors are interrelated in complex ways. As a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following paragraphs describe what we expect to be the impact on the market value of the notes of a change in a specific factor, assuming all other conditions remain constant.

 

PS-5


Table of Contents

The CMS Rate Spread.    We expect that the market value of the notes at any time may be affected by changes in the CMS Rate Spread. For example, a decrease in the CMS Rate Spread could cause a decrease in the market value of the notes because no interest will be payable on the notes if the CMS Rate Spread is less than -0.05%. Conversely, an increase in the CMS Rate Spread may cause an increase in the market value of the notes because interest will be payable. However, if the CMS Rate Spread remains above
-0.05%, the likelihood of the notes being called would increase.

 

The CMS Rate Spread will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the swap markets generally.

 

Volatility of CMS30 or CMS2.    Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations. If the volatility of either CMS30 or CMS2 changes, the market value of the notes may change.

 

Call Feature.    Our ability to call the notes prior to their maturity date is likely to limit their value. We believe that if we did not have the right to call the notes, their value could be significantly different.

 

Interest Rates.    We expect that the market value of the notes will be affected by changes in U.S. interest rates. In general, if U.S. interest rates increase, the market value of the notes may decrease, and if U.S. interest rates decrease, the market value of the notes may increase.

 

Hedging Activities.    Hedging activities related to the notes by one or more of our affiliates will likely involve trading in one or more instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon CMS30 or CMS2. It is possible that we or our affiliates may profit from our hedging activity, even if the market value of the notes declines. Profits or loss from this hedging activity could affect the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market.

 

Citigroup Funding and Citigroup’s Credit Ratings, Financial Condition and Results.    Actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings, financial condition or results or those of Citigroup may affect the market value of the notes. The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup, the guarantor of any payments due on the notes.

 

We want you to understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as an increase in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the market value of the notes attributable to another factor, such as an increase in the CMS Rate Spread.

 

The Historical CMS Rate Spread Is Not an Indication of the Future

 

The historical CMS Rate Spread, which is included in this pricing supplement, should not be taken as an indication of the future CMS Rate Spread during the term of the notes. Changes in the level of either CMS30 or CMS2 will affect the trading price of the notes, but it is impossible to predict whether those rates will rise or fall.

 

You May Not Be Able to Sell Your Notes if an Active Trading Market for the Notes Does Not Develop

 

The notes have not been and will not be listed on any exchange. There is currently no secondary market for the notes. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. currently intends, but is 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. If the secondary market for the notes is limited, there may be few buyers should you choose to sell your notes prior to maturity and this may reduce the price you receive.

 

Citigroup Financial Products Is the Calculation Agent, Which Could Result in a Conflict of Interest

 

Citigroup Financial Products, which is acting as the calculation agent for the notes, is an affiliate of ours. As a result, Citigroup Financial Products Inc.’s duties as calculation agent, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the calculation agent must make in determining amounts due to you, may conflict with its interest as an affiliate of ours.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

 

General

 

The description in this pricing supplement of the particular terms of the Callable Range Accrual Notes Due 2016 (the “Notes”) supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the descriptions of the general terms and provisions of the registered Notes set forth in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement.

 

Payment at Maturity

 

At maturity, unless your Notes have been previously called by us, you will receive an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes you then hold, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Interest

 

Interest on the Notes, if any, will be payable quarterly on the 27th of each March, June, September and December of each year, starting on December 27, 2006 and ending on September 27, 2016, each an Interest Payment Date. Each three-month period from and including an Interest Payment Date to and including the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date, maturity or any earlier date upon which the Notes are redeemed is an Interest Calculation Period. During each of these Interest Calculation Periods interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.38% per annum, from and including September 27, 2006 to but excluding September 27, 2007.

 

Unless the Notes are otherwise called by us, the interest rate for each Interest Calculation Period from September 27, 2007 to maturity will vary and may be zero. The interest rate will equal the product of (x) 8.38% per annum and (y) number of Accrual Days in the Interest Calculation Period divided by the number of calendar days in the Interest Calculation Period. An Accrual Day is any calendar day in an Interest Calculation Period on which the CMS Rate Spread is determined to be greater than or equal to -0.05%, as described in detail below in “—Determination of the CMS Rate Spread.” No interest will accrue on the Notes on any calendar day that is not an Accrual Day.

 

Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment to be made on that Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Interest Payment Date will be the first preceding Business Day. Such payment will have the same force and effect as if made on that Interest Payment Date, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of delayed payment.

 

Business Day means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the securities exchanges or banking institutions or trust companies in the City of New York and in London, England are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

 

Determination of the CMS Rate Spread

 

For purposes of determining whether any calendar day in an Interest Calculation Period from September 27, 2007 to maturity is an Accrual Day, the CMS Rate Spread will equal (x) the 30-year 30/360 U.S. dollar semi-annual swap rate (“CMS30”) minus (y) the 2-year 30/360 U.S. dollar semi-annual swap rate (“CMS2”), each as quoted on Reuters page “ISDAFIX1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) at 11:00 am (New York time) on such calendar day or, in the case of a calendar day that is not a New York Business Day, the CMS30 and CMS2 appearing on Reuters page “ISDAFIX1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) at 11:00 am (New York time) on the New York Business Day immediately preceding such calendar day; provided, however that for each calendar day beginning on the fourth New York Business Day

 

PS-7


Table of Contents

immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date, the CMS Rate Spread will be CMS30 and CMS2 appearing on Reuters page “ISDAFIX1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) at 11:00 am (New York time) on the fifth New York Business Day prior to that Interest Payment Date.

 

If a rate for CMS30 or CMS2 is not published on “ISDAFIX1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) on any London Business Day on which the rate for CMS30 and CMS2 is required, then the calculation agent will request the principal London office of each of five major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the calculation agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars in an amount that is representative of a single transaction in that market at that time (a “Representative Amount”) and for a term of 30 years or 2 years, as the case may be, as of 11:00 am (London time) on such London Business Day. If at least two such quotations are so provided, CMS30 or CMS2, as the case may be, will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the calculation agent will request each of three major banks in The City of New York to provide such bank’s rate to leading European banks for loans in U.S. dollars in a Representative Amount and for a term of 30 years or 2 years, as the case may be, as of approximately 11:00 am (New York City time) on such London Business Day. If at least two such rates are so provided, CMS30 or CMS2, as the case may be, will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then CMS30 or CMS2, as the case may be, will be the rate for CMS30 or CMS2, as the case may be, in effect on the immediately preceding London Business Day.

 

Call Right

 

We may call the Notes, in whole and not in part, for mandatory redemption on each Interest Payment Date on or after September 27, 2007, upon not less than ten calendar days’ notice to holders of the Notes in the manner described below. Following an exercise of our call right, you will receive an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes you then hold, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

So long as the Notes are represented by global securities and are held on behalf of DTC, call notices and other notices will be given by delivery to DTC. If the Notes are no longer represented by global securities and are not held on behalf of DTC, call notices and other notices will be published in a leading daily newspaper in the City of New York, which is expected to be The Wall Street Journal.

 

Redemption at the Option of the Holder; Defeasance

 

The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of any holder prior to maturity and are not subject to the defeasance provisions described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of Debt Securities—Defeasance.”

 

Default Interest Rate

 

In case of default in payment at maturity of the Notes or on any Interest Payment Date, the Notes will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, from and after the maturity date or relevant Interest Payment Date through the date when payment of the unpaid amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rate of 5.75% per annum on the unpaid amount due. If default interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

Paying Agent and Trustee

 

Citibank, N.A. will serve as paying agent and registrar for the Notes and will also hold the global security representing the Notes as custodian for DTC. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as trustee under an indenture dated as of June 1, 2005, will serve as trustee for the Notes.

Calculation Agent

 

The calculation agent for the Notes will be Citigroup Financial Products. All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Citigroup Funding, Citigroup and the holders of the Notes. Because the calculation agent is an affiliate of Citigroup Funding and Citigroup, potential conflicts of interest may exist between the calculation agent and the holders of the Notes, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the calculation agent must make in determining amounts due to holders of the Notes. Citigroup Financial Products Inc. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as calculation agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations material to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a person that is a holder or a beneficial owner of a Note that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of a Note (a “U.S. Holder”). All references to “holders” (including U.S. Holders) are to beneficial owners of the Notes. This summary is based on U.S. federal income tax laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, all of which are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive effect).

 

This summary addresses the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders who are initial holders of the Notes and who will hold the Notes as capital assets. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of its individual investment circumstances or to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities or foreign currency, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations and taxpayers holding the Notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated financial transaction. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.

 

Investors should consult their own tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of holding the Notes, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

 

U.S. Holders

 

Payments of Interest. Payments of stated interest on the Notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received (in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting).

 

Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Notes. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement (including an exercise of our call right) of a Note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (less any accrued stated interest, which will be taxable as such) and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Note. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of such Note to such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information returns may be required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) relating to payments made to a particular U.S. Holder of Notes. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding tax on such payments if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers to the trustee in the manner required, fail to certify that they are not subject to backup withholding tax, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. U.S. Holders may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax with respect to the proceeds from a sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the Notes.

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

A holder or beneficial owner of Notes that is not a U.S. Holder (a “Non-U.S. Holder”) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on interest payments on the Notes, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder certifies on IRS Form W-8BEN (or a successor form), under penalties of perjury, that it is a Non-U.S.

Holder and provides its name and address or otherwise satisfies applicable documentation requirements and the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (or, where a tax treaty applies, are not attributable to a United States permanent establishment). Any gain realized on the sale of Notes by a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be exempt from U.S. federal income and withholding tax unless the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder (or, where a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), or in the case of gain realized by an individual Non-U.S. Holder, the Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

 

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting with respect to payments of interest on the Notes if the Non-U.S. Holder provides an IRS Form W-8BEN (or a successor form) with respect to such payments.
