Any Payments Due from Citigroup Funding Inc.

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.

 

Notes Based Upon the Gold Price Due 2007

 

  We will not make any payments on the notes prior to maturity.

 

  The notes will mature on November 26, 2007. You will receive at maturity, for each US$1,000 principal amount of notes you hold, an amount in cash equal to US$970 plus a supplemental return amount, which may be positive or zero. As described below, in no circumstances will the return on your investment in the notes be more than 17% or US$170 per note.

 

  The supplemental return amount will be based on the percentage change in the price of unallocated gold bullion, which we refer to as gold, from the date of this pricing supplement to the second business day before maturity.

 

    If the price of gold has increased, the supplemental return amount will be positive and will equal the product of (a) US$1,000 and (b) the percentage change in the price of gold, subject to a limit of 20% of the principal amount of the notes. Because the amount of the maturity payment is determined by adding the supplemental return amount to 97% of the principal amount and the supplemental return amount will not be more than 20% of the principal amount, in no circumstances will the return on your investment in the notes be more than 17%.

 

    If the price of gold has decreased or has not changed, the supplemental return amount will be zero and the maturity payment will be US$970 per note.

 

  The notes will be issued in minimum denominations and integral multiples of US$1,000.

 

  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-7.

 

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 Notes Based Upon the Gold Price Due 2007. 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 commodity-linked securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. that have a maturity of approximately one year. The notes pay an amount at maturity that will depend on the percentage change in the price of gold from the date of this pricing supplement, which we refer to as the pricing date, to the second business day before maturity, which we refer to as the valuation date. If the price of gold on the valuation date is greater than the price of gold on the pricing date, the payment you receive at maturity will be greater than 97% of your initial investment in the notes. If the price of gold on the valuation date is less than or equal to the price of gold on the pricing date, the payment you receive at maturity will equal 97% of your initial investment in the notes. However, because the maturity payment is determined by adding the supplemental return amount to 97% of the principal amount of the notes and the supplemental return amount will not be more than 20% of the principal amount of the notes, in no circumstances will the return on your investment in the notes be more than 17% or approximately US$170 per note.

 

The notes mature on November 26, 2007 and do not provide for earlier redemption by you or by us. 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.

 

You may transfer the notes only in minimum denominations and integral multiples of US$1,000. 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 “Description of the Notes — Book-Entry System” in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the section “Description of Debt Securities — Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the accompanying prospectus for further information.

 

Will I Receive Interest on the Notes?

 

No. We will not make any periodic payments of interest on the notes or any other payments on the notes until maturity.

What Will I Receive at Maturity of the Notes?

 

The notes will mature on November 26, 2007. You will receive at maturity, for each US$1,000 principal amount of notes you hold, an amount in cash equal to US$970 plus a supplemental return amount, which may be positive or zero.

 

How Will the Supplemental Return Amount Be Calculated?

 

The supplemental return amount will be based on the amount by which the ending price exceeds the starting price, expressed as a percentage. The supplemental return amount will equal the product of (a) US$1,000 and (b) the gold price return (defined below), provided that the supplemental return amount will not be less than zero.

 

The gold price return, which is presented in this pricing supplement as a percentage, will equal the following fraction:

 

Ending Price – Starting Price


Starting Price

 

provided that the gold price return will be subject to a maximum gold price return of 20%.

 

The starting price equals US$617.75, the price of a troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, as set by the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. during the afternoon session of the twice daily gold price fix which starts at 3:00 p.m. London, England time (the “London PM Fix”) on the pricing date, as reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page.

 

The ending price will equal the London PM Fix of a troy ounce of gold on the valuation date, as reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page.

 

If the London PM Fix of gold price on any relevant date is not reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page but is otherwise published by the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd., the price of gold on that date will be determined by reference to the London PM Fix of gold price published by the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. If no London PM Fix of gold price is available on any relevant date because of a market disruption event or otherwise, the price of gold on that date, unless deferred by the calculation agent as described below, will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the spot price of a troy ounce of gold at 3:00 p.m. London, England time on the relevant date obtained from as many dealers in gold (which may include Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any of our other affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will make such price available to the calculation agent. The determination of the price of gold by the calculation agent in the event of a market disruption event may be deferred by the calculation agent for up to five consecutive business days on which a market disruption event is occurring, but not past the business day prior to maturity.

 

For more specific information about the “supplemental return amount,” the “gold price return” and the determination of a “business day” and a “market disruption event,” please see “Description of the Notes — Supplemental Return Amount” in this pricing supplement.

 

Where Can I Find Examples of Hypothetical Maturity Payments?

 

For examples of hypothetical maturity payments, see “Description of the Notes — Hypothetical Maturity Payment Examples” in this pricing supplement.

 

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

 

If you choose to sell your notes before maturity, you are not guaranteed to receive 97% of the principal amount of the notes you sell. You should refer to the sections “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes — No

You will receive at least 97% of the principal amount of your notes only if you hold the notes at maturity.

 

Who Publishes the London PM Fix of Gold Price and What Does It Measure?

 

Unless otherwise stated, all information on the London PM Fix of gold price provided in this pricing supplement is derived from the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. or other publicly available sources. The London PM Fix of gold price is set by the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. during the afternoon session of the twice daily gold price fix which starts at 3:00 p.m. London, England time. During each session, orders are placed either with one of the five fixing members or with another bullion dealer who will then be in contact with a fixing member during the fixing. The fixing members net-off all orders when communicating their individual net interest at the fixing. The fix begins with the fixing chairman suggesting a “trying price,” reflecting the market price prevailing at the opening of the fix. This is relayed by the fixing members to their dealing rooms which have direct communication with all interested parties. Any market participant may enter the fixing process at any time, or adjust or withdraw its order. The gold price is adjusted up or down until all the buy and sell orders are matched, at which time the price is declared fixed. All fixing orders are transacted on the basis of this fixed price, which is instantly relayed to the market through various media. As of October 25, 2006, the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. were ScotiaMocatta (a division of the Bank of Nova Scotia), Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Société Générale and Barclays Bank plc.

 

Please note that an investment in the notes does not entitle you to any ownership or other interest in gold.

 

How Has the Price of Gold Performed Historically?

 

We have provided a table showing the high and low prices of gold for each quarterly period since the first quarter of 2001 and a graph showing the daily prices of gold from January 2, 1996 through November 15, 2006. You can find the table and the graph in the section “Description of the Gold Price — Historical Data on the Gold Price” in this pricing supplement. We have provided this historical information to help you evaluate the behavior of the price of gold in recent years. However, past performance is not indicative of how the price of gold will perform in the future. You should also refer to the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes — The Historical Performance of the Gold Price Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance of the Gold Price” in this pricing supplement.

 

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 gold or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based on the price of gold. The costs of maintaining or adjusting this hedging activity could affect the price at which our affiliate Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. Moreover, this hedging activity may result in us or our affiliates receiving a profit, even if the market value of the notes declines. 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.

Does ERISA Impose Any Limitations on Purchases of the Notes?

 

Employee benefit plans and other entities the assets of which are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or substantially similar federal, state or local laws, including individual retirement accounts, (which we call “Plans”) will be permitted to purchase and hold the notes, provided that each such Plan shall by its purchase be deemed to represent and warrant either that (A)(i) none of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., its affiliates or any employee thereof is a Plan fiduciary that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the Plan’s assets used to purchase the notes or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (ii) the Plan 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 Inc. 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. Please refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in this pricing supplement for further information.

 

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

 

Because the notes are contingent payment debt obligations of Citigroup Funding, U.S. Holders of a note 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 note, which yield will be assumed to be 5.32% per year compounded semi-annually. This tax OID (computed at the assumed comparable yield) will be includible in a U.S. Holder’s gross income (as ordinary income) over the term of the note (although holders will receive no payments on the notes prior to maturity). 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 the tax OID is calculated based in part on an assumed amount payable at maturity. This assumed amount is neither a prediction nor guarantee of the actual yield of, or payment to be made in respect of, a note. 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 note during such periods (with an offsetting ordinary loss). If a U.S. Holder disposes of the note prior to maturity, the U.S. Holder will be required to treat any gain recognized upon the disposition of the note as ordinary income (rather than capital gain). You should refer to “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement for more information.

 

Will the Notes Be Listed on a Stock Exchange?

 

The notes will not be listed on any exchange.

 

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 Inc. and Citibank, N.A.?

 

Our affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the agent for the offering and sale of the notes. After the initial offering, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and/or other of our affiliated dealers 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 this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. However, neither Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 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, Citibank, N.A., will act as calculation agent for the notes. Potential conflicts of interest may exist between Citibank, N.A. 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-6


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 price of gold, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

 

You May Lose a Portion of Your Investment if the Price of Gold Declines or Appreciates by Less Than 3%

 

The amount of the maturity payment will depend on the gold price return, which is determined by the ending price and starting price of gold. You will receive at maturity at least the principal amount of your notes you then hold only if the gold price return is greater than or equal to 3%. If the gold price return is less than 3%, the amount you receive at maturity will be less than the principal amount of your notes and could be as low as US$970 for each note you hold, in which case your investment in the notes will result in a loss. This will be true even if the price of gold exceeds the starting price by more than 3% at one or more times during the term of the notes, but the ending price on the valuation date is less than 103% of the starting price.

 

You Will Not Be Able to Fully Participate in the Appreciation of Gold Price

 

The amount of the maturity payment will be determined by adding the supplemental return amount to 97%, not 100%, of the principal amount of the notes. As a result, if the price of gold appreciates during the term of the notes, your participation in such appreciation will be reduced by an amount equal to 3% of the principal amount of the notes, or US$30 per note, and capped at 17%, as discussed below. In such case, you will be participating in only a portion of the appreciation of the price of gold, and your return on the notes will be less than the return on an investment directly linked to the price of gold.

 

The Return on Your Investment in the Notes Will Be Capped

 

Because the amount of the maturity payment is determined by adding the supplemental return amount, which will not be more than 20%, to 97% of the principal amount of the notes, in no circumstances will the return on your investment in the notes be more than 17%, or US$170 per note. Thus, the notes may provide less opportunity for appreciation than an investment in an instrument directly linked to the price of gold and not subject to a cap.

 

No Principal Protection Unless You Hold the Notes to Maturity

 

You will be entitled to receive at least 97% of the principal amount of your notes only if you hold the notes to maturity. The market value of the notes may fluctuate, and if you sell your notes in the secondary market prior to maturity you will likely receive less than 97% of your initial investment as the principal amount of the notes is not protected at all prior to maturity.

 

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

 

The notes do not pay any interest. As a result, if the ending price is less than, equal to or only slightly greater than 103% of the starting price, your maturity payment will be less than, equal to or only slightly greater than your initial investment in the notes and 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.

Gold Prices Are Highly Volatile and Affected by Many Complex Factors

 

Prices of gold are highly volatile and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors on the price of gold. If these factors result in a decrease in gold prices, it may reduce the amount of the maturity payment and/or the value of the notes in the secondary market.

 

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 the secondary market will be affected by supply of and demand for the notes, the price of gold 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.

 

Price of Gold.    We expect that the market value of the notes at any given time will likely depend substantially on the changes, if any, in the price of gold from the starting price. If you choose to sell your notes when the gold price is less than the starting price, you may receive substantially less than the principal amount of your notes.

 

The gold price will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that can affect the markets on which gold is traded. These factors are described in more detail in “— Gold Prices Are Highly Volatile and Affected by Many Complex Factors” above.

 

Volatility of the Gold Price.    Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations. If the expected volatility of the gold price during the term of the notes changes, the market value of the notes may decrease.

 

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.

 

Time Premium or Discount.    As a result of a “time premium or discount,” the notes may trade at a value above or below that which would be expected based on the level of interest rates and the gold price the longer the time remaining to maturity. A “time premium or discount” results from expectations concerning the gold price during the period prior to the maturity of the notes. However, as the time remaining to maturity decreases, this time premium or discount may diminish, thereby increasing or decreasing the market value of the notes.

 

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

 

PS-8


Table of Contents

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 gold price.

 

The Historical Performance of the Gold Price Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance of the Gold Price

 

The historical performance of the gold price, which is included in this pricing supplement, should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the gold price during the term of the notes. Changes in the gold price will affect the trading price of the notes, but it is impossible to predict whether the gold price will rise or fall.

 

You Will Not Have Any Rights with Respect to Gold

 

You will not own or have any beneficial or other legal interest in, and will not be entitled to any rights with respect to, gold. The notes are debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding, not an interest in gold or a futures contract or commodity option based on the price of gold.

 

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. 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. 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.

 

Citibank, N.A. Is the Calculation Agent, Which Could Result in a Conflict of Interest

 

Citibank, N.A., which is acting as the calculation agent for the notes, is an affiliate of ours. As a result, Citibank, N.A.’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

 

The description in this pricing supplement of the particular terms of the notes supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the descriptions of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement.

 

General

 

The Notes Based Upon the Gold Price due 2007 (the “Notes”) are commodity-linked securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. that have a maturity of approximately one year. The Notes pay an amount at maturity that will depend on the percentage change in the price of gold from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date. If the price of gold on the Valuation Date is greater than the price of gold on the Pricing Date, the payment you receive at maturity will be greater than 97% of your initial investment in the Notes. If the price of gold on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to the price of gold on the Pricing Date, the payment you receive at maturity will equal 97% of your initial investment in the Notes. However, because the maturity payment is determined by adding the Supplemental Return Amount to 97% of the principal amount of the Notes and the Supplemental Return Amount will not be more than 20% of the principal amount of the Notes, in no circumstances will the return on your investment in the Notes be more than 17%, or US$170 per Note.

 

The Notes are a series of debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding under the senior debt indenture described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus and any payments due under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup. The aggregate principal amount of Notes issued will be US$25,000,000 (25,000 Notes). The Notes will mature on November 26, 2007, will constitute part of the senior debt of Citigroup Funding, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding. As a result of the guarantee, any payments due under the Notes will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup. The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form and in denominations of US$1,000 per Note and integral multiples thereof.

 

Reference is made to the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for a detailed summary of additional provisions of the Notes and of the senior debt indenture under which the Notes will be issued.

 

Interest

 

We will not make any periodic payments of interest on the Notes or any other payments on the Notes until maturity.

 

Payment at Maturity

 

The Notes will mature on November 26, 2007. You will receive at maturity, for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes you hold, an amount in cash equal to US$970 plus a Supplemental Return Amount, which may be positive or zero.

 

Supplemental Return Amount

 

The Supplemental Return Amount will be based on the amount by which the Ending Price exceeds the Starting Price, expressed as a percentage. The Supplemental Return Amount will equal the product of (a) US$1,000 and (b) the Gold Price Return, provided that the Supplemental Return Amount will not be less than zero.

 

PS-10


Table of Contents

The “Gold Price Return,” which is presented in this pricing supplement as a percentage, will equal the following fraction:

 

Ending Price – Starting Price


Starting Price

 

provided that the Gold Price Return will be subject to a maximum Gold Price Return of 20%.

 

The “Starting Price” equals US$617.75, the price of a troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, as set by the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. during the afternoon session of the twice daily gold price fix which starts at 3:00 p.m. London, England time (the “London PM Fix”) on the Pricing Date, as reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page.

 

The “Ending Price” will equal the London PM Fix of a troy ounce of gold on the Valuation Date, as reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page.

 

The “Pricing Date” means November 15, 2006, the date of this pricing supplement and the date on which the Notes were priced for initial sale to the public.

 

The “Valuation Date” will be the second Business Day before the maturity date.

 

If the London PM Fix of gold price on any relevant date is not reported on Reuters page GOFO or any successor page but is otherwise published by the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd., the price of gold on that date will be determined by reference to the London PM Fix of gold price published by the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. If no London PM Fix of gold price is available on any relevant date because of a market disruption event or otherwise, the price of gold on that date, unless deferred by the calculation agent as described below, will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the spot price of a troy ounce of gold at 3:00 p.m. London, England time on the relevant date obtained from as many dealers in gold (which may include Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any of our other affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will make such price available to the calculation agent. The determination of the price of gold by the calculation agent in the event of a market disruption event may be deferred by the calculation agent for up to five consecutive business days on which a market disruption event is occurring, but not past the business day prior to maturity.

 

“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 or in London, England are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

 

A “Market Disruption Event” means, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion, the occurrence or existence of any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by any relevant exchange or market or otherwise) of, or the unavailability through a recognized system of public dissemination of transaction information, for a period longer than two hours, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, on the applicable exchange or market, of accurate price, volume or related information in respect of (a) gold or (b) any options or futures contracts, or any options on such futures contracts relating to gold on any exchange or market if, in each case, in the determination of the calculation agent, any such suspension, limitation or unavailability is material.

 

Hypothetical Maturity Payment Examples

 

The examples of hypothetical maturity payments set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Ending Prices of gold on the amount payable on the Notes at maturity. All of the hypothetical examples are based on the following assumptions:

 

•      Issue Price: US$1,000 per Note

 

•      Maximum Gold Price Return: 20%

•      Starting Price: US$590.00

 

•      Term of the Notes: 1 year

 

PS-11


Table of Contents

As demonstrated by the examples below, if the Gold Price Return is 0.00% or less, you will receive an amount at maturity equal to US$970 per Note. If the Gold Price Return is greater than 0.00%, you will receive an amount at maturity that is greater than US$970 per Note.

 

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only. The actual maturity payment will depend on the actual Supplemental Return Amount which, in turn, will depend on the actual Starting Price (US$617.75), Ending Price and the maximum Gold Price Return (20%).

Default Interest Rate

 

In case of default in payment at maturity of the Notes, the Notes shall 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 through the date when payment of the unpaid amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rate of 5.50% 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. The Bank of New York, as successor 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 Citibank, N.A. 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. Citibank, N.A. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as calculation agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GOLD PRICE

 

General

 

The Supplemental Return Amount, if any, will be determined by reference to the price of a troy ounce of gold generally known as the “London PM Fix.” We have derived all information regarding the London PM Fix of gold price from publicly available sources without independent verification. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change without notice by, the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

 

The London PM Fix of gold price is set by the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. during the afternoon session of the twice daily gold price fix which starts at 3:00 p.m. London, England time. During each session, orders are placed either with one of the five fixing members or with another bullion dealer who will then be in contact with a fixing member during the fixing. The fixing members net-off all orders when communicating their individual net interest at the fixing. The fix begins with the fixing chairman suggesting a “trying price,” reflecting the market price prevailing at the opening of the fix. This is relayed by the fixing members to their dealing rooms which have direct communication with all interested parties. Any market participant may enter the fixing process at any time, or adjust or withdraw its order. The gold price is adjusted up or down until all the buy and sell orders are matched, at which time the price is declared fixed. All fixing orders are transacted on the basis of this fixed price, which is instantly relayed to the market through various media. As of October 25, 2006, the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. were ScotiaMocatta (a division of the Bank of Nova Scotia), Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Société Générale and Barclays Bank plc.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to 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 pricing 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 or taxpayers holding the Notes as part of a “straddle,” hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment. 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 to their particular situation of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below.

 

Tax Characterization of the Notes

 

Citigroup Funding will treat each Note for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a single debt instrument issued by Citigroup Funding that is subject to U.S. Treasury regulations governing contingent debt instruments (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”). Moreover, each holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to this treatment of the Note and to report all income (or loss) with respect to the Note in accordance with the Contingent Debt Regulations. The remainder of this summary assumes the treatment of each Note as a single debt instrument subject to the Contingent Debt Regulations and the holder’s agreement thereto.

 

United States Holders

 

Taxation of Interest.    A U.S. Holder of a Note will recognize income (or loss) on a Note in accordance with the Contingent Debt Regulations. The Contingent Debt Regulations require the application of a “noncontingent bond method” to determine accruals of income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to a contingent debt obligation. As described in more detail in the second and third succeeding paragraphs, under the noncontingent bond method, a U.S. Holder of a Note will be required for tax purposes to include in income each year an accrual of interest at the computational rate of 5.32%, compounded semi-annually (the “comparable yield”) (even though holders will receive no payments on the Notes prior to maturity). The comparable yield is based on a rate at which Citigroup Funding could issue a fixed rate debt instrument with terms comparable to those of the Notes and no contingent payments. In addition, solely for purposes of determining the comparable yield pursuant to the Contingent Debt Regulations, a U.S. Holder of a Note will be assumed to be entitled to receive, in respect of each Note, a payment of US$1,054.64 at maturity (the “Projected Payment Amount”). The Projected Payment Amount is calculated as the amount required to produce the comparable yield, taking into account the Note’s issue price.

 

The comparable yield and the Projected Payment Amount are used to determine accruals of interest FOR TAX PURPOSES ONLY and are not assurances or predictions by Citigroup Funding with respect to the actual yield of or payment to be made in respect of a Note. The comparable yield and the Projected Payment Amount do not necessarily represent Citigroup Funding’s expectations regarding such yield or the amount of such payment.

 

Each Note will be issued at par. However, there will be original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“Tax OID”) because a U.S. Holder must accrue income at the comparable yield. Under the Tax OID

 

PS-17


Table of Contents

rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, a U.S. Holder of a Note, whether such holder uses the cash or the accrual method of tax accounting, will be required to include as ordinary interest income the sum of the “daily portions” of Tax OID on the Note for all days during the taxable year that the U.S. Holder owns the Note. As a result, U.S. Holders of Notes, including U.S. Holders that employ the cash method of tax accounting, will be required to include amounts in respect of Tax OID accruing on Notes in taxable income each year although holders will receive no payments on the Notes prior to maturity.

 

The daily portions of Tax OID on a Note are determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the Tax OID allocable to that accrual period. In the case of an initial holder, the amount of Tax OID on a Note allocable to each accrual period is determined by multiplying the “adjusted issue price” (as defined below) of a Note at the beginning of the accrual period by the comparable yield of a Note (appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period). The “adjusted issue price” of a Note at the beginning of any accrual period will generally be the sum of its issue price and the amount of Tax OID allocable to all prior accrual periods, less the amount of any payments made in all prior accrual periods. Based upon the comparable yield, if a U.S. Holder that employs the accrual method of tax accounting and pays taxes on a calendar year basis buys a Note at original issue for US$1,000 and holds it until maturity, such holder will be required to pay taxes on the following amounts of ordinary income from the Note for each of the following periods: US$5.62 in 2006 and US$49.02 in 2007 (adjusted as described in the second below paragraph).

 

Disposition of the Notes.    When a U.S. Holder sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes of Note (including upon repayment of the Note at maturity) (a “disposition”), the U.S. Holder’s gain (or loss) on such disposition will equal the difference between the amount received by the U.S. Holder for the Note and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis (i.e., adjusted cost) in a Note will be equal to the U.S. Holder’s original purchase price for such Note, plus any Tax OID accrued by the U.S. Holder and less the amount of any payments received by the holder while holding the Note.

 

If the amount received on the Note at maturity exceeds the Projected Payment Amount, the U.S. Holder will be required to include any such excess in income as ordinary income. Alternatively, if the amount received at maturity is less than the Projected Payment Amount, the difference between the Projected Payment Amount and the amount received at maturity will be treated as an offset to any interest otherwise includible in income by the U.S. Holder with respect to the Note for the taxable year in which maturity occurs, but only to the extent of the amount of such includible interest. Any remaining portion of such shortfall may be recognized and deducted by the U.S. Holder as an ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s previous Tax OID inclusions with respect to the Note.

 

On a disposition of a Note other than repayment of a Note at maturity, any gain realized by a U.S. Holder will be treated as ordinary interest income. Any loss realized by a U.S. Holder on a disposition will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s Tax OID inclusions with respect to the Note up to the date of disposition. Any loss realized in excess of such amount generally will treated as a capital loss.

 

An individual U.S. Holder generally will be allowed a deduction for any ordinary loss without regard to the two-percent miscellaneous itemized deduction rule of Section 67 of the Code. Any capital loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will be a long-term capital loss if such U.S. Holder has held such Note for more than one year, and a short-term capital loss in other cases.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.    Information returns may be required to be filed with the 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 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.

 

PS-18


Table of Contents

Non-United States Holders

 

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to Non-U.S. Holders of the Notes. The term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is a foreign corporation or nonresident alien.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal, state and local and any foreign tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

 

Payment with Respect to the Notes.    All payments on the Notes made to Non-U.S. Holder, and any gain realized on a sale, exchange or redemption of the Notes, will be exempt from U.S. income and withholding tax, provided that:

 

(i) such Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Citigroup Funding’s stock entitled to vote, and is not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to Citigroup Funding through stock ownership;

 

(ii) the beneficial owner of a Note certifies on Internal Revenue Services Form W-8BEN (or successor form), under penalties of perjury, that is not a U.S. person and provides its name and address or otherwise satisfies applicable documentation requirements; and

 

(iii) such payments and gains are not effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder to a trade or business in the United States.

 

If a Non-U.S. Holder of the Notes is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and if interest on the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from the withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraphs, generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax on interest and on any gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the Notes in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. In lieu of the certificate described in clause (ii) of the second preceding paragraph, such a Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide to the withholding agent a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) in order to claim an exemption from withholding tax.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.    In general, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding and information reporting with respect to payments made with respect to the Notes if such Non-U.S. Holder has provided Citigroup Funding with an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN described above and Citigroup Funding does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person. In addition, no backup withholding will be required regarding the proceeds of the sale of the Notes made within the United States or conducted through certain U.S. financial intermediaries if the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.
