How The Notes Work

 

Principal-Protected Notes Based Upon a Basket of Commodities Due 2013 (the “Notes”) are hybrid investments that combine characteristics of commodity and fixed-income instruments. Similar to a fixed income investment, these Notes offer investors the safety of 100% principal protection if held at maturity. The Notes will pay a one-time coupon expected to equal approximately 4.50% to 5.50% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the principal amount of the Notes in cash at maturity. At maturity, the Notes will pay an amount that is based on the Commodity Returns, the change in the price or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities making up the underlying commodity basket from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date. This type of investment allows investors to participate in the change in the price or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities without risk to their initial investments.

 

The Notes are commodity basket-linked securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. that have a maturity of approximately five years. At maturity, you will receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of your initial investment in the Notes plus a Basket Return Amount, if any, which may be positive or zero. The Basket Return Amount will depend on the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns. The sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns depends on the percentage change from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date in the prices or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities as measured by (i) in the case of light, sweet crude oil, the settlement price of the front-month light, sweet crude oil contract traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”), (ii) in the case of natural gas, the settlement price of the front-month natural gas contract traded on the NYMEX, (iii) in the case of aluminum, the cash settlement price of aluminum traded on the London Metal Exchange (the “LME”), (iv) in the case of copper, the cash settlement price of copper traded on the LME, (v) in the case of nickel, the cash settlement price of nickel traded on the LME, (vi) in the case of gold, the London PM Fix of a troy ounce of gold, and (vii) in the case of the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index, the closing value of the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index. If the sum of the Weighted Commodity

Returns on the Valuation Date is less than or equal to zero, the payment you receive at maturity will equal the amount of your initial investment in the Notes. If the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns on the Valuation Date is greater than zero, the payment you receive at maturity will be greater than the amount of your initial investment in the Notes. The Basket Return Amount will equal the product of (1) the principal amount of Notes held at maturity and (2) the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns on the Valuation Date, expressed as a percentage. Because the Notes are principal protected if held to maturity, 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 Commodities.

 

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 the potential appreciation of the prices or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities without risk to their initial investments but who are willing to forego current income.

 

n  

Investors expecting a substantial appreciation in the aggregate price or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities over the term of the Notes.

 

n  

Investors who seek to add a commodity 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, including payments of principal, will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup.

Benefits of the Notes

 

n  

Coupon Payable at Maturity

The Notes will pay a one-time coupon expected to equal approximately 4.50% to 5.50% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the principal amount of the Notes. The one-time coupon will be paid in cash at maturity. There will be no coupon payment prior to maturity.

 

n  

Return Potential

The Basket Return Amount payable at maturity is based on the Commodity Returns, enabling you to participate in the potential appreciation in the price or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities during the term of the Notes without directly investing in the Basket Commodities.

 

n  

Preservation of Your Investment

On the Maturity Date, we will pay you the principal amount of the Notes you then hold regardless of the performance of the Basket Commodities’ prices or closing value, as applicable.

 

n  

Diversification

The Notes are linked to the performance of the Basket Commodities’ prices or closing value, as applicable, 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 Basket Return Amount May Be Zero

The amount of the maturity payment is based on the Basket Return Amount, which in turn is based on the Weighted Commodity Returns of the Basket Commodities from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date. If the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns is less than or equal to zero, the maturity payment will be limited to the amount of your initial investment in the Notes. This will be true even if the price of one or more of the Basket Commodities was greater than its Starting Price at one or more times from the Pricing Date to the Valuation Date, but because of the price of the Basket Commodities on the Valuation Date and the Weighting Percentages applied, the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns on the Valuation Date is not greater than zero.

 

 

n  

The Use of the Sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns on a Basket of Commodities Instead of a Single Commodity Return May Lower the Return on Your Investment

Because the Basket Return Amount will be based on the sum of the Weighted Commodity Return for each Basket Commodity, a significant increase in the Ending Price of one Basket Commodity Relative to its Starting Price may be substantially or entirely offset by a decrease in the Ending Price of the other Basket Commodities relative to their Starting Prices 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 prior to maturity.

 

n  

Potential for a Lower Comparable Yield

The maturity payment is linked to the performance of the price or closing value, as applicable, of the Basket Commodities, which will fluctuate in response to market conditions. As a result, if the sum of the Weighted Commodity Returns is less than     %, the effective yield on the Notes will be lower than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate 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, the Weighting Percentages, changes in the price or closing value, as applicable of the Basket Commodities, interest rates and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup’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.


 

4


n  

Tax Treatment of the Notes

Because the Notes are contingent payment debt obligations of Citigroup Funding, you will be required to include the 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, although holders will receive no payment on the Notes in tax years prior to maturity.

 

n  

Citigroup Credit Risk

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

 

n  

Fees and Conflicts

Citibank, N.A. 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 commodities or the futures contracts underlying the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the Basket Commodities or the futures contracts underlying the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index, by one or more of its affiliates. Each of Citigroup Funding’s or its affiliates’ hedging activities and Citibank, N.A.’s role as the Calculation Agent for the Notes may result in a conflict of interest.

 

Front-Month Light, Sweet Crude Oil Contract and Natural Gas Contract

 

General

 

The Basket Return Amount, if any, will be determined in part by reference to the settlement price of the front-month light, sweet crude oil futures contract and the natural gas futures contract traded on the NYMEX. A front-month light, sweet crude oil contract or natural gas contract is an exchange-traded futures contract traded on the NYMEX. It provides for the future purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of a commodity – in this case, light, sweet crude oil or natural gas, as applicable – at an agreed upon price (the “settlement price”). The futures contract provides for a specified settlement month in which the commodity is to be delivered by the seller. A “front-month” contract is the contract next scheduled for settlement. For example, as of April 29, 2008, the front-month light, sweet crude oil contract is a contract for delivery of light, sweet crude oil in June 2008.

 

You should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information on the front-month light, sweet crude oil contract and natural gas contract, including additional information on the NYMEX.

 

We have derived all information regarding the front-month light, sweet crude oil contract and natural gas contract and the NYMEX from publicly available sources without independent verification. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change without notice by, the NYMEX. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Aluminum, Copper and Nickel Prices

 

General

 

The Basket Return Amount, if any, will be determined in part by reference to the cash settlement prices of aluminum, copper and nickel set by the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). The LME provides a transparent forum for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals and plastics. As a result of this trading, daily prices are “discovered” and published by the LME which the physical industry around the world use as the basis of price negotiations for the physical sale or purchase of metals or plastics. The cash settlement prices of aluminum, copper and nickel are set during the second “ring” or round of trading at the LME, during which session only those broker members permitted to take part in ring trading may process their clients’ orders on

the trading floor. At present there are 11 “ring dealers.” The cash settlement price is the last cash offer price quoted for the relevant metal at the end of the five-minute ring relating to the relevant metal in the second ring session of the day.

 

You should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information on the cash settlement prices of aluminum, copper and nickel, including additional information on the LME.

 

We have derived all information regarding the method by which the LME arrives at settlement prices from publicly available sources without independent verification. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change without notice by, the LME. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Gold Price

 

General

 

The Basket Return Amount, if any, will be determined in part by reference to the price of a troy ounce of gold generally known as the “London PM Fix.” 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 April 29, 2008, the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. were the Bank of Nova Scotia – ScotiaMocatta, Barclays Bank Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Société Générale.

S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index

 

General

 

The Basket Return Amount, if any, will be determined in part by reference to the value of the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index. The S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index is published by S&P and is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™ Excess Return Index. The S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index contains eight agricultural commodities—corn, wheat, Kansas wheat, soybeans, coffee, cocoa, sugar and cotton—and measures the excess return potentially available from investing in the S&P GSCI™ futures contracts for these eight agricultural commodities and rolling them forward each month (on the 5th—9th business days of each month). It also incorporates the discount or premium obtained by “rolling” hypothetical positions in such contracts forward as they approach delivery.

 

The levels of the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index are published by S&P continuously on each business day, with such level being updated every several minutes. As a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™ Excess Return Index, the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index is constructed and valued in the same way as the S&P GSCI™ Excess Return Index, except that it is specifically limited to corn, wheat, Kansas wheat,

soybeans, coffee, cocoa, sugar and cotton. The S&P GSCI™ Excess Return Index measures the daily returns accrued from investing in uncollateralized nearby commodities futures. You can find more information on the S&P GSCI™ and the S&P GSCI™ Excess Return Index on the website of S&P.

 

You should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information on the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index, including its historical closing values, respective markup, method of calculation and changes in its components. All such disclosures in the preliminary pricing supplement are derived from publicly available information. We assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. You should also be aware that an investment in the Notes does not entitle you to any dividends or voting rights in respect of the stocks or any other ownership or other interest in respect of the futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index.

 

We have derived all information regarding the S&P GSCI™ Agriculture Excess Return Index from publicly available sources without independent verification.

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 own tax advisors to determine 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 annual comparable yield of     %, compounded semi-annually) 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 payment 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, including the one-time coupon. This assumed amount is neither a prediction nor guarantee of the actual yield of, or payment to be made in respect of, the Notes. If the total amounts we actually pay are, 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 total amounts we actually pay are, 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 a 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 Market 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.

Additional Considerations

 

If the price or closing value, as applicable, of any Basket Commodity on any date of determination is not reported on the relevant Reuters page or any successor page thereto, but is otherwise published on Bloomberg page CL1 <CMDTY> in the case of light, sweet crude oil; Bloomberg page NG1 <CMDTY> in the case of natural gas; Bloomberg page LOAHDY <CMDTY> in the case of aluminum; Bloomberg page LOCADY <CMDTY> in the case of copper; Bloomberg page LONIDY <CMDTY> in the case of nickel; Bloomberg page GOLDLNPM <INDEX> in the case of gold; and Bloomberg page SPGCAGP <INDEX> in the case of the S&P GSCI™. Agriculture Excess Return Index, the relevant price or closing value will be determined by reference to by such relevant Bloomberg page. If the price or closing value, as applicable, of any Basket Commodity on any date of determination is not reported on the relevant Reuters page or any successor page thereto, or Bloomberg page or any successor page thereto, but is otherwise published by the NYMEX, the LME, the LGMF, or S&P, as applicable, the price or closing value, as applicable, for that Basket Commodity will be determined by reference to the price or closing value, as applicable, of that Basket Commodity so published. If any price or closing value, as applicable, is unavailable on any date of determination because of a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the price or closing value, as applicable, of that Basket Commodity, unless

deferred by the calculation agent as described below, will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the price of the Basket Commodity or the commodities futures underlying the Basket Commodity, as applicable, on that date obtained from as many dealers in the relevant Basket Commodity or in commodity futures underlying the Basket Commodities, as applicable (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 or closing value, as applicable, of the relevant Basket Commodity by the calculation agent in the event of a Market Disruption Event may be deferred by the calculation agent for up to three consecutive Business Days on which a Market Disruption Event is occurring, but not past the Business Day prior to maturity. You should refer to the section “Description of the Notes – Basket Return Amount” in the preliminary pricing supplement for more information.

 

Citigroup Global Markets is an affiliate of Citigroup Funding. Accordingly, the offering will conform to the requirements set forth in Rule 2720 of the NASD Conduct Rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

 

Client accounts over which Citigroup or its affiliates have investment discretion are NOT permitted to purchase the Notes, either directly or indirectly.
