Overview of the PACERSSM

 

General

PACERSSM, are callable investments that offer participation in a portion of the appreciation, if any, of the value of the Underlying Index on which the PACERS are based, while also providing limited protection against a decline in that value. The PACERS Based Upon the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM have a maturity of approximately 1.5 years and are issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. Some key characteristics of the PACERS include:

 

n  

No Periodic Payments. The PACERS do not offer current income, which means that you will not receive any periodic interest on the PACERS.

 

n  

A Mandatory Call Premium on the PACERS, if any, will be paid only if the PACERS are called on any Call Date and depends on the closing value of the Underlying Index on each Call Date.

 

n  

Mandatory Call. The PACERS are mandatorily callable by Citigroup Funding on any of the three Call Dates during any of the three semi-annual Call Determination Periods, commencing approximately six months after the Issue Date, if the closing value of the Underlying Index on any Call Date is greater than or equal to the Starting Index Value. The PACERS will not otherwise be called even if the closing value of the Underlying Index on any Index Business Day other than a Call Date is greater than or equal to the Starting Index Value. If mandatorily called, you will receive an amount in cash per PACERS equal to $10 plus the applicable Mandatory Call Premium, which is

   

expected to be (i) $            , the product of $10 and 4.50% to 5.50% (to be determined on the Pricing Date), if called on any Call Date from September, 2010 to September, 2010, (ii) $            , the product of $10 and 9.00% to 11.00% (to be determined on the Pricing Date), if called on any Call Date from March     , 2011 to March     , 2011, and (iii) $            , the product of $10 and 13.50% to 16.50% (to be determined on the Pricing Date), if called on any Call Date from September    , 2011 to September     , 2011.

 

n  

No Principal Protection. While the PACERS provide limited protection against the decline in the value of the Underlying Index, PACERS are not principal protected. If the PACERS are not called, for each PACERS you hold at maturity you will receive either (1) cash in an amount equal to $10.00 plus the product of (a) $10.00 and (b) the negative percentage change in the closing value of the Underlying Index from the Pricing Date to the Final Valuation Date if the closing value of the Underlying Index on the Final Valuation Date is less than approximately 85% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the closing value of the Underlying Index on the Pricing Date or (2) $10.00 in cash. As a result, if the PACERS are not called and the Ending Index Value is less than approximately 85% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the Starting Index Value, the cash amount you receive at maturity for each PACERS will be less than your initial investment in the PACERS and could be zero. Furthermore, if the PACERS are not called, you will not in any case receive an amount at maturity greater than your initial investment.



 

PACERSSM     |  3

n  

Investors with neutral to moderate growth expectations for the Underlying Index who also seek limited protection against loss

 

n  

Investors willing to trade potential upside appreciation in the Underlying Index in return for the potential to receive a fixed per annum return if the PACERS are called

 

n  

Current or prospective holders of an exchange-traded fund benchmarked to the Underlying Index who are willing to accept the downside risk in the Underlying Index subject to limited protection against loss

Benefits of the PACERS

 

n  

Potential Return Through Mandatory Call Feature. Citigroup Funding must call the PACERS and pay you cash in an amount equal to $10 plus the applicable Mandatory Call Premium of 9.00% to 11.00% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) per annum on a simple interest basis if on any Call Date the closing value of the Underlying Index is equal to or greater than the Starting Index Value. In this case, your return on the PACERS will be greater than your initial investment, although you will not receive a return of more than 9.00% to 11.00% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) per annum on a simple interest basis.

 

n  

Protection Against Loss in Limited Circumstances. If Citigroup Funding does not call the PACERS, at

   

maturity you will receive your original investment in the PACERS even if the Ending Index Value has declined from the Starting Index Value, as long as the Ending Index Value does not decline from the Starting Index Value by more than approximately 15% (to be determined on the Pricing Date). In this case, you will not suffer the same loss that a direct investment in the Underlying Index would produce. However, if the Ending Index Value does decline by more than approximately 15% (to be determined on the Pricing Date), the amount you receive at maturity will be less than your initial investment in the PACERS and could be zero.


 

Key Risk Factors for the PACERS

An investment in the PACERS involves significant risks. While some of the risks are summarized below, please review the “Risk Factors Relating to the PACERS” section of the pricing supplement related to this particular offering and the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying prospectus supplement for a full description of risks.

 

n  

Potential for Loss. If Citigroup Funding does not call the PACERS, the amount you will receive at maturity of the PACERS will depend on the Ending Index Value. If he PACERS are not called and the Ending Index Value declines from the Starting Index Value by more than approximately 15% (to be determined on the Pricing Date), you will receive an amount in cash at maturity that will be less than the amount of your initial investment in the PACERS and which could be zero.

 

n  

No Appreciation if We Do Not Call the PACERS. If we do not call the PACERS and the Ending Index Value is not less than approximately 85% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the Starting Index Value at maturity you will receive $10.00 in cash. Thus, if we do not call the PACERS, you will not in any case receive an amount at maturity greater than your initial investment.

 

n  

Appreciation May Be Limited. If the PACERS are mandatorily called, you will receive cash in an amount equal to $10 plus the applicable Mandatory Call Premium. The opportunity to participate in possible increases in the value of the Underlying Index is unavailable if the PACERS are mandatorily called because the return you receive will be limited to the applicable Mandatory Call Premium. Your return on the PACERS may be less than your return on a similar security that allowed you to participate more fully in the appreciation of the Underlying Index.

 

n  

No Periodic Payments. You will not receive any periodic payments of interest on the PACERS.

 

n  

Volatility of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM. Historically, the value of the Underlying Index has been volatile. From January 3, 2005 to March 4, 2010, the closing value of the Underlying Index has been as low as 101.9990 and as high as 237.9530. As a result,



 

          6  |     PACERSSM

 

   

on more than one occasion from January 3, 2005 to March 4, 2010, the closing value of the Underlying Index has been less than 85% of its closing value of 133.9446 on March 4, 2010. If we do not call the PACERS, whether you receive an amount at maturity in cash equal to the amount of your initial investment in the PACERS or less than your initial investment depends upon the Ending Index Value. Thus, the volatility of the value of the Underlying Index may result in your receiving an amount in cash at maturity less than your initial investment in the PACERS, which will result in a loss.

 

n  

Citigroup Inc. Credit Risk, Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads. Investors in the PACERS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the PACERS, and to changes in the market’s view of Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. Any decline, or anticipated decline, in Citigroup Inc.’s credit ratings or increase, or anticipated increase, in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Citigroup Inc. credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the PACERS.

 

n  

Potential for a Lower Comparative Yield. Because you will not receive any periodic payments of interest or any other periodic payments on the PACERS, if the PACERS are not mandatorily called (and regardless of whether the Ending Index Value declines by more than the predetermined percentage from the Starting Index Value), the effective yield on the PACERS will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.

 

n  

Exchange Listing and Secondary Market. The PACERS will not be listed on any exchange. There is currently no secondary market for the PACERS. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the PACERS. Although Citigroup Global Markets Inc. intends to make a secondary market in the PACERS, it is not obligated to do so.

 

n  

Resale Value of the PACERS May be Lower Than Your Initial Investment. Due to, among other things, changes in the value of the Underlying Index, interest rates, disruptions in futures contracts trading, other economic conditions, the inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the public offering price of the PACERS and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.’s perceived creditworthiness, the PACERS may trade at prices below their initial issue price of $10.00 per PACERS. You could receive substantially less than the amount of your initial investment if you sell your PACERS.

 

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 PACERS. Further, Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the PACERS through the trading in futures contracts or commodities included in the underlying index or in other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon futures contracts or commodities included in the underlying index, by one or more of its affiliates and may receive a profit from these activities, even if the value of the PACERS declines. Each of Citigroup Funding’s or its affiliates’ hedging activities and Citibank N.A.’s role as the Calculation Agent for the PACERS may result in a conflict of interest.

 

n  

The United States Federal Income Tax consequences of the PACERS Are Uncertain. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the PACERS or instruments similar to the PACERS for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PACERS are not certain. No ruling is being requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the PACERS and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the conclusions expressed under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this offering summary and under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the pricing supplement related to this offering. It is also possible that future U.S. legislation, regulations or other IRS guidance would require you to accrue income on the PACERS on a current basis at ordinary income rates (as opposed to capital gains rates) or to treat the PACERS in another manner that significantly differs from the agreed-to treatment discussed under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this offering summary and under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the pricing supplement related to this offering, and that any such guidance have retroactive effect.

 

n  

Special Considerations Related to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM.

 

  n  

The PACERS are linked to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM and not to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total ReturnSM. Thus, the return on the PACERS, if any, will not reflect a total return on the index, which would include interest on cash collateral.

 

  n  

The PACERS are not futures contracts and will not be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. You will not own or have any beneficial



 

PACERSSM     |  7          

 

   

or other legal interest in the futures contracts or commodities underlying the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM.

 

  n  

Market prices of the commodity futures contracts underlying the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM are highly volatile and may fluctuate rapidly based on a variety of factors including changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; and domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies. This may in turn result in volatile changes in the value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM and thus reduce the amount you receive at maturity of the PACERS.

 

  n  

If the market prices for the commodity futures contracts underlying the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM cease to be lower in distant delivery months than in nearer delivery months, the

   

value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM would likely decrease, thus, decreasing the amount you receive at maturity of the PACERS.

 

  n  

The commodity futures contracts that underlie the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM are subject to extensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. Additionally, the Underlying Asset will include commodity contracts on physical commodities on trading facilities located outside the United States. Certain foreign markets may be more susceptible to disruption than United States trading facilities due to the lack of a government-regulated clearinghouse system. The effects of any future regulatory change or of any disruption in foreign market trading on the value of the PACERS is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to your interests as a holder of the PACERS.


 

Hypothetical Examples

 

The examples of hypothetical Call Prices and amounts received at maturity set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different closing values of the Underlying Index on the amount you will receive in respect of the PACERS upon a mandatory call or at maturity. All of the hypothetical examples are based on the following assumptions:

 

n  

Issue Price: $10.00 per PACERS

 

n  

Pricing Date: March 24, 2010

 

n  

Settlement Date: March 29, 2010

 

n  

Final Valuation Date: September 22, 2011

 

n  

Maturity Date: September 29, 2011

 

n  

Starting Index Value: 130.0000

 

n  

Minimum Underlying Index value at which a Mandatory Call occurs: 130.0000 (100.00% of the hypothetical Starting Index Value)

 

n  

Mandatory Call Premium:

 

  a. the product of $10 and 4.75%, if called on any Call Date in September 2010

 

  b. the product of $10 and 9.50%, if called on any Call Date in March 2011

 

  c. the product of $10 and 14.25%, if called on any Call Date in September 2011

 

n  

If the PACERS have not been previously called, at maturity, whether you receive cash in an amount equal to $10.00 plus the product of (a) $10.00 and (b) the Negative Index Percentage Change or your initial investment ($10.00 per PACERS) depends on whether the Ending Index Value has declined by more than 15% (to less than 110.5000, the “Downside Trigger Value”) from the Starting Index Value on the Final Valuation Date.



 

          8  |     PACERSSM

 

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. The actual amount you receive at maturity will depend on the Starting Index Value; whether the closing value of the Underlying Index on any Call Date is greater than or equal to the Starting Index Value, causing the PACERS to be called; and if the PACERS are not called, whether the Ending Index Value has declined by more than approximately 15% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) from the Starting Index Value causing you to receive at maturity cash in an amount equal to $10.00 plus the product of (a) $10.00 and (b) the Negative Index Percentage Change.

PACERS are Mandatorily Called on any of the Call Dates

The PACERS have not been previously called and the closing value of the Underlying Index on the relevant Call Date is equal to or greater than 130.0000, the value at which a Mandatory Call occurs. The PACERS are consequently called at the applicable Call Price of $10.00 plus the Mandatory Call Premium per PACERS.

 

a.      If the Call Date occurs in September 2010, the Call Price will be $10.00 plus a Mandatory Call Premium of $0.475.

 

Call Price = $10.00 + $0.475 = $10.475 per PACERS

  LOGO

b.      If the Call Date occurs in March 2011, the Call Price will be $10.00 plus a Mandatory Call Premium of $0.950.

 

Call Price = $10.00 + $0.950 = $10.950 per PACERS

  LOGO

c.      If the Call Date occurs in September 2011, the Call Price will be $10.00 plus a Mandatory Call Premium of $1.425.

 

Call Price = $10.00 + $1.425 = $11.425 per PACERS

PACERS are not Mandatorily Called on any of the Call Dates and Downside Trigger Value is Not Breached

The PACERS are not called on any of the Call Dates, and the Ending Index Value is not less than 85% of the Starting Index Value, or 110.5000, on the Final Valuation Date.

 

Since the Ending Index Value is not less than 110.5000, the amount received at maturity will be $10.00 per PACERS.

 

Amount received at maturity = $10.00 per PACERS

   LOGO

PACERS are not Mandatorily Called on any of the Call Dates and Downside Trigger Value is Breached

The PACERS are not called on any of the Call Dates, and the Ending Index Value is less than 85% of the Starting Index Value, or 110.5000, on the Final Valuation Date. At maturity you will receive for each PACERS cash in an amount equal to $10.00 plus the product of (a) $10.00 and (b) the Negative Index Percentage Change.

Even if the closing value of the Underlying Index is greater than 130.0000, or the value at which a Mandatory Call occurs, at one or more times on or prior to the Final Valuation Date, the closing value of the Underlying Index is below 130.0000 on all of the Call Dates. Consequently, the PACERS will not be called on any Call Date.

 

If the Ending Index Value is 84.5000, then you will receive at maturity cash in an amount equal to $10 plus (a) the product of $10 and (b) the Negative Index Percentage Change.

Amount received at maturity = $10.00 + [$10.00 x {(84.5000 – 130.0000)/130.0000}] = $6.50

Description of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM

 

The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM is an index calculated, published and disseminated by Dow Jones and UBS Securities and is intended to provide a liquid and diversified benchmark for commodities investments.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for U.S. investors that are initial holders of the PACERS and that hold PACERS as capital assets.

In purchasing a PACERS, you agree with Citigroup Funding Inc. that you and Citigroup Funding Inc. intend to treat a PACERS for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a cash-settled derivative financial instrument providing for the future payment based on the value of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM. Under such treatment, at maturity or upon the mandatory redemption of the PACERS for cash prior to or at maturity, or upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a PACERS, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss under such treatment equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received at maturity or the amount realized as a result of such mandatory redemption, sale or other taxable disposition and your tax basis in the PACERS. Any such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the PACERS for more than one year at the time of disposition. Due to the absence of authority as to the proper characterization of the PACERS, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will accept, or that a court will uphold, the characterization and tax treatment described above, and alternative treatments of the PACERS could result in less favorable U.S. federal income tax consequences to you, including a requirement to accrue income on a current basis.

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the PACERS or instruments similar to the PACERS for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PACERS are not certain. Accordingly, a prospective investor (including a tax-exempt investor) in the PACERS should consult his or her tax advisor in determining the tax consequences of an investment in the PACERS.

It is also possible that future regulations or other IRS guidance would require you to accrue income on the PACERS on a current basis at ordinary income rates (as opposed to capital gains rates) or to treat the PACERS in another manner that significantly differs from the agreed-to treatment discussed above. On December 7, 2007, the IRS and U.S. Treasury Department issued a notice (the “Notice”) that requests public comments on a comprehensive list of tax policy issues raised by prepaid forward contracts, which include financial instruments similar to the PACERS. The Notice contemplates that such instruments may become subject to taxation on a current accrual basis under one or more possible

approaches, including a mark-to-market methodology; a regime similar to the Contingent Payment Regulations; categorization of prepaid forward contracts as debt; and treatment of prepaid forward contracts as “constructive ownership” transactions. The Notice also contemplates that all (or significant portions) of an investor’s returns under prepaid forward contracts could be taxed at ordinary income rates (as opposed to capital gains rates). It is currently impossible to predict what guidance, if any, will be issued as a result of the Notice, and whether any such guidance could have retroactive effect.

In addition, legislation has been introduced for consideration in the United States Congress that, if enacted into law, would require current accrual of interest income on prepaid derivative contracts with a term of more than one year (which may include financial instruments similar to the PACERS) acquired after the date of the legislation’s enactment. The legislation also would implement special income accrual rules for publicly traded prepaid derivative contracts. The schedule for consideration of this legislation and the outcome of the legislative process currently is uncertain.

In the case of a holder of the PACERS that is not a U.S. person, any capital gain realized upon the maturity, sale or other disposition of the PACERS should not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if:

(i) The holder complies with the applicable certification requirement (including in general the furnishing of an IRS Form W-8 or substitute form)

(ii) Such gain is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such holder, and

(iii) in the case of an individual, such individual is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition or the gain is not attributable to a fixed place of business maintained by such individual in the United States.

In the Notice discussed above under Possible Alternative Treatment, the IRS and U.S. Treasury Department specifically question whether, and to what degree, payments (or deemed accruals) in respect of a prepaid forward contract should be subject to withholding. Accordingly, it is possible that future guidance could be issued as a result of the Notice requiring us to withhold on payments made to non-U.S. Holders under the PACERS.

You should refer to the pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and should consult your own tax advisors to determine tax consequences particular to your situation.

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 PACERS as long as either (A) (1) no Citigroup Global Markets affiliate or employee is a fiduciary to such plan or retirement account that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the PACERS 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 PACERS or (B) its acquisition and holding of the PACERS 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 PACERS 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 PACERS by the account, plan or annuity.

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


 

Additional Considerations

 

If no closing value of the Underlying Index is available on the on any Index Business Day, including the Call Dates and the Final Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent may determine the value of the Underlying Index value in accordance with the procedures set forth in the pricing supplement related to this offering. In addition, if the Underlying Index is discontinued, the Calculation Agent may determine the value of Underlying Index by reference to a successor index or, if no successor index is available, in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the value of the Underlying Index prior to any such discontinuance. You should refer to the sections “Description of the PACERS — Discontinuance of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM” and

“— Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the related pricing supplement for more information.

Citigroup Global Markets is an affiliate of Citigroup Funding.
