357,000 Buffered PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due April 26, 2012

Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

Buffered PLUS offer leveraged exposure to a wide variety of assets and asset classes, including equities, commodities and currencies, while providing limited protection against negative performance by the asset. Once the value of the asset has decreased by more than a specified buffer amount, the investor is exposed to the negative performance by the asset, subject to a minimum payment at maturity. At maturity, if the asset has appreciated, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying asset, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. At maturity, if the asset has depreciated, and (i) if the closing value of the asset has not declined by more than the specified buffer amount, the Buffered PLUS will redeem for par or (ii) if the closing value of the asset has declined by more than the specified buffer amount, the investor will lose 1% for every 1% decline beyond the specified buffer amount, subject to a minimum payment at maturity. The investor may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS. The Buffered PLUS are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the Buffered PLUS are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company.

Buffered PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due April 26, 2012

Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

 

 

 

Key Investment Rationale

The Buffered PLUS offer 200% leveraged upside on the positive performance of the underlying index, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $11.50 per Buffered PLUS (115% of the stated principal amount), and provide a buffer against a decline of 10% in the underlying index, ensuring a minimum payment of $1.00 per Buffered PLUS at maturity.

 

Leveraged Performance

   The Buffered PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns for a certain range of positive performance relative to a direct investment in the underlying index.

Payment Scenario 1

   The underlying index increases in value and, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS redeem for the stated principal amount of $10 plus 200% of the index percent increase, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $11.50 per Buffered PLUS (115% of the stated principal amount).

Payment Scenario 2

   The underlying index declines in value by no more than 10% and, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS redeem for the stated principal amount of $10.

Payment Scenario 3

   The underlying index declines in value by more than 10% and, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS redeem for less than the stated principal amount by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease of the underlying index from the initial index value, plus the buffer amount of 10%. (Example: if the underlying index decreases in value by 20%, the Buffered PLUS will redeem for $9.00, or 90% of the stated principal amount.)  The minimum payment at maturity is $1.00 per Buffered PLUS.

Summary of Selected Key Risks (see page 10)

 

n  

90% of the stated principal amount is at risk.

 

n  

No interest payments.

 

n  

The appreciation potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.

 

n  

The market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including the value, volatility and dividend yield of the underlying index, and you may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per Buffered PLUS if you try to sell your Buffered PLUS prior to maturity.

 

n  

Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index.

 

n  

The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.

 

n  

Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

The Buffered PLUS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the Buffered PLUS, and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.

 

n  

The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make determinations with respect to the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS are unclear.

CUSIP:

Tax considerations:

  

Each holder, by purchasing the Buffered PLUS, agrees to treat them as prepaid forward contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court might not agree with it.

 

Assuming this treatment of the Buffered PLUS is respected and subject to the discussion in “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:

 

•    A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the Buffered PLUS prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.

•    Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the Buffered PLUS at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Buffered PLUS. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the Buffered PLUS for more than one year.

 

Under current law, Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to amounts received on the sale, exchange or retirement of the Buffered PLUS. Special rules apply to Non-U.S. Holders who are present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year or whose gain on the Buffered PLUS is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

 

In 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may well include the Buffered PLUS. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect.

 

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in Buffered PLUS should read the discussion under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by the 2007 notice, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Calculation agent:

   Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Use of proceeds and hedging:

  

The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the Buffered PLUS will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS through one or more of our affiliates.

 

On, or prior to, the pricing date, we, through our affiliates or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Buffered PLUS by taking positions in stocks of the underlying index, futures and options contracts on the underlying index, any component stocks of the underlying index listed on major securities markets or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could have increased the value of the underlying index, and, accordingly, potentially increase the initial index value, and, therefore, could have increased the value at which the underlying index must close on the valuation date before investors would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

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 Buffered PLUS as long as either (A) (1) no Citigroup Global Markets affiliate or employee or affiliate’s 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS or (B) its acquisition and holding of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of Buffered PLUS by the account, plan or annuity.

 

You should refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in the PLUS product supplement for more information.

Fees and selling concessions:

  

Citigroup Global Markets, an affiliate of Citigroup Funding and the underwriter of the sale of the Buffered PLUS, will receive an underwriting fee of $0.2250 from Citigroup Funding for each Buffered PLUS sold in this offering. From this underwriting fee, Citigroup Global Markets will pay selected dealers, including its affiliate Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and their financial advisors collectively a fixed selling concession of $0.2250 for each Buffered PLUS they sell. The underwriting fee and selling concession payable in connection with sales of the Buffered PLUS may be reduced for volume purchase discounts in accordance with the chart in “Syndicate Information” below.

 

Additionally, it is possible that Citigroup Global Markets and its affiliates may profit from expected hedging activity related to this offering, even if the value of the Buffered PLUS declines. You should refer to “Risk Factors” below and “Risk Factors” and “Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” in the PLUS product supplement for more information.

Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest:

   Citigroup Global Markets is an affiliate of Citigroup Funding. Accordingly, the offering of the Buffered PLUS will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in Rule 2720 of the NASD Conduct Rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., its subsidiaries or affiliates of its subsidiaries have investment discretion are NOT permitted to purchase the Buffered PLUS, either directly or indirectly.

How Buffered PLUS Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the Buffered PLUS based on the following terms:

 

Stated principal amount:    $10 per Buffered PLUS
Leverage factor:    200%
Buffer amount:    10%

Hypothetical maximum payment at

maturity:

   $11.40 per Buffered PLUS (114% of the stated principal amount)
Minimum payment at maturity:    $1.00 per Buffered PLUS

LOGO

How it works

 

n  

If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, investors will receive the $10 stated principal amount plus 200% of the appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the Buffered PLUS, subject to the maximum payment at maturity of $11.40 per Buffered PLUS. In the payoff diagram, an investor will realize the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity at a final index value of 107% of the initial index value.

 

n  

If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but has decreased from the initial index value by an amount less than or equal to the buffer amount of 10%, investors will receive the stated principal amount of $10 per Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

If the final index value is less than the initial index value and has decreased from the initial index value by an amount greater than the buffer amount of 10%, investors will receive an amount that is less than the stated principal amount by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease of the underlying index from the initial index value, plus the buffer amount of 10%. The minimum payment at maturity is $1.00 per Buffered PLUS.

 

   

For example, if the underlying index depreciates 35%, investors would lose 25% of their principal and receive only $7.50 per Buffered PLUS at maturity, or 75% of the stated principal amount.

Payment at Maturity

At maturity, investors will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of Buffered PLUS that they hold an amount in cash based upon the closing value of the underlying index on the valuation date, as determined as follows:

Under no circumstances will the payment at maturity be less than $1.00 per Buffered PLUS.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Buffered PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the related prospectus supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and you may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount. The terms of the Buffered PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Buffered PLUS do not pay interest, and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS, subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. If the final index value is less than 90% of the initial index value, you will receive for each Buffered PLUS that you hold a payment at maturity that is less than the stated principal amount of each Buffered PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decline in the value of the underlying index as determined on the valuation date, plus $1.00 per Buffered PLUS. Thus, you may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of your investment in the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

Volatility of the underlying index. Historically, the value of the underlying index has been volatile. From January 3, 2005 to April 26, 2010, the closing value of the underlying index has been as low as 676.53 and as high as 1,565.15. The volatility of the value of the underlying index may result in your receiving at maturity an amount less than the stated principal amount of your investment in the Buffered PLUS, subject to the minimum payment at maturity.

 

n  

Potential for a lower comparable yield. The Buffered PLUS do not pay any periodic interest. As a result, if the final index value does not increase sufficiently from the initial index value, the effective yield on the Buffered PLUS will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.

 

n  

The appreciation potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity. The appreciation potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $11.50 per Buffered PLUS, or 115% of the stated principal amount. Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any increase in the final index value over the initial index value, because the payment at maturity will be limited to 115% of the stated principal amount for the Buffered PLUS, any increase in the final index value over the initial index value by more than 7.5% of the initial index value will not increase the return on the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

The market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the Buffered PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase or sell the Buffered PLUS in the secondary market, including: the value, volatility and dividend yield of the underlying index, interest and yield rates, time remaining to maturity, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events and any actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings or credit spreads of Citigroup Inc. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS if you try to sell your Buffered PLUS prior to maturity.

 

n  

Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or its component stocks. Investors in the Buffered PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the underlying index.

 

n  

Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS. The publisher of the underlying index may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the underlying index. The publisher of the underlying index may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.

 

n  

The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets is willing to purchase the Buffered PLUS in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, underwriting fees paid with respect to the Buffered PLUS, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our affiliates may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by Citigroup Global Markets, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

 

n  

The Buffered PLUS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Buffered PLUS. Investors are dependent on the ability of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the Buffered PLUS, to pay all amounts due on the Buffered PLUS at maturity, and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. and to changes in the market’s view of Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. The Buffered PLUS are

not guaranteed by any other entity. If Citigroup Inc. defaults on its obligations under the Buffered PLUS, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. 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.’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Buffered PLUS.

 

n  

The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The Buffered PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the Buffered PLUS. Citigroup Global Markets may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the Buffered PLUS. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Buffered PLUS easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Buffered PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your Buffered PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets is willing to transact. If, at any time, Citigroup Global Markets were not to make a market in the Buffered PLUS, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the Buffered PLUS. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your Buffered PLUS to maturity.

 

n  

The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make determinations with respect to the Buffered PLUS. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the calculation agent, is an affiliate of ours. As calculation agent, Citigroup Global Markets will determine the initial index value and the final index value, and calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by Citigroup Global Markets, in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the final index value in the event of a discontinuance of the underlying index, may adversely affect the payment to you on the Buffered PLUS at maturity.

 

n  

Hedging and trading activity by our affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Buffered PLUS. One or more of our affiliates have hedged our obligations under the Buffered PLUS. We have carried out hedging activities related to the Buffered PLUS (and to other instruments linked to the underlying index or its component stocks), including trading in the stocks that constitute the underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the underlying index. Our affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the underlying index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have potentially affected the initial index value and, therefore, could have increased the value at which the underlying index must close on the valuation date before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the Buffered PLUS. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the Buffered PLUS, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the value of the underlying index on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

 

n  

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS are unclear. There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Buffered PLUS, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Buffered PLUS are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the Buffered PLUS as prepaid forward contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Buffered PLUS, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Buffered PLUS might be affected materially and adversely. In addition, as described above under “Tax considerations,” in 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may well include the Buffered PLUS. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the Buffered PLUS should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Buffered PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due April 26, 2012

Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

 

 

 

Information about the S&P 500® Index

General. Unless otherwise stated, we have derived all information regarding the S&P 500® Index provided in this pricing supplement, including its composition, method of calculation and changes in components, from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), publicly available sources and other sources we believe to be reliable. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P. S&P is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of, the S&P 500® Index at any time. None of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding, Citigroup Global Markets or the trustee assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the S&P 500® Index.

The S&P 500® Index is published by S&P and is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. S&P chooses companies for inclusion with an aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings. The calculation of the value is based on the relative aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies at a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. The weighting and composition of the index components are updated periodically so that the S&P 500® Index reflects the performance of the U.S. equity markets.

As of April 26, 2010, the aggregate market value of the 500 companies included in the S&P 500® Index represented approximately 75% of the U.S. equities market. S&P chooses companies for inclusion in the S&P 500® Index with the aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock composition of the NYSE, which S&P uses as an assumed model for the composition of the total market. Relevant criteria employed by S&P include the viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, the extent to which the market price of that company’s common stock is generally responsive to changes in the affairs of the respective industry and the market value and trading activity of the common stock of that company.

As of April 26, 2010, the 500 companies included in the S&P 500® Index were divided into 10 Global Industry Classification Sectors. The Global Industry Classification Sectors included (with the percentage of companies currently included in such sectors indicated in parentheses): Consumer Discretionary (10.67%), Consumer Staples (10.82%), Energy (11.27%), Financials (16.49%), Health Care (11.31%), Industrials (10.75%), Information Technology (19.10%), Materials (3.49%), Telecommunication Services (2.69%) and Utilities (3.42%). S&P may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the S&P 500® Index to achieve the objectives stated above.

THE S&P 500® INDEX DOES NOT REFLECT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS ON THE STOCKS UNDERLYING IT AND THEREFORE THE RETURN ON THE BUFFERED PLUS WILL NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RETURN YOU WOULD RECEIVE IF YOU WERE TO PURCHASE SUCH UNDERLYING STOCKS AND HOLD THEM UNTIL THE MATURITY DATE.

Computation of the S&P 500® Index. On March 21, 2005, S&P began to calculate the S&P 500® Index based on a half float-adjusted formula, and on September 16, 2005, S&P completed the full float adjustment of the S&P 500® Index. S&P’s criteria for selecting stocks for the S&P 500® Index were not changed by the shift to float adjustment. However, the adjustment affects each company’s weight in the S&P 500® Index (i.e., its market value).

Under float adjustment, the share counts used in calculating the S&P 500® Index reflect only those shares that are available to investors and not all of a company’s outstanding shares. S&P defines three groups of shareholders whose holdings are subject to float adjustment:

 

  ¡  

holdings by other publicly traded corporations, venture capital firms, private equity firms, strategic partners, or leveraged buyout groups;

 

  ¡  

holdings by governmental entities, including all levels of government in the United States or foreign countries; and

 

  ¡  

holdings by current or former officers and directors of the company, founders of the company, or family trusts of officers, directors, or founders, as well as holdings of trusts, foundations, pension funds, employee stock ownership plans, or other investment vehicles associated with and controlled by the company.

However, treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. In cases where holdings in a group exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of a company, the holdings of that group will be excluded from the float-adjusted count of shares to be used in the S&P 500® Index calculation. Mutual funds, investment advisory firms, pension funds, or foundations not associated with the company and investment funds in insurance companies, shares of a United States company traded in Canada as “exchangeable shares,” shares that trust beneficiaries may buy or sell without difficulty or significant additional expense beyond typical brokerage fees, and, if a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class if such shares are convertible by shareholders without undue delay and cost, are also part of the float.

For each stock, an investable weight factor (“IWF”) is calculated by dividing the available float shares, defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held in one or more of the three groups listed above where the group holdings exceed 10% of the outstanding shares, by the total shares outstanding. The float-adjusted index will then be calculated by dividing the sum of the IWF multiplied by both the price and the total shares outstanding for each stock by the index divisor. For companies with multiple classes of stock, S&P will calculate the weighted average IWF for each stock using the proportion of the total company market capitalization of each share class as weights.

The S&P 500® Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology: the level of the S&P 500® Index reflects the total market value of all S&P 500® component stocks relative to the S&P 500® Index’s base period of 1941-43 (the “base period”).

An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and track over time.

The actual total market value of the S&P 500® component stocks during the base period has been set equal to an indexed value of 10. This is often indicated by the notation 1941-43=10. In practice, the daily calculation of the S&P 500® Index is computed by dividing the total market value of the S&P 500® component stocks by a number called the index divisor. By itself, the index divisor is an arbitrary number. However, in the context of the calculation of the S&P 500® Index, it is the only link to the original base period level of the S&P 500® Index.

The index divisor keeps the S&P 500® Index comparable over time and is the manipulation point for all adjustments to the S&P 500® Index (“index maintenance”).

Index maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spinoffs.

To prevent the level of the S&P 500® Index from changing due to corporate actions, all corporate actions which affect the total market value of the S&P 500® Index require an index divisor adjustment. By adjusting the index divisor for the change in total market value, the level of the S&P 500® Index remains constant. This helps maintain the level of the S&P 500® Index as an accurate barometer of stock market performance and ensures that the movement of the S&P 500® Index does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the S&P 500® Index. All index divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the S&P 500® Index and do not require index divisor adjustments.

License Agreement. S&P and Citigroup Global Markets have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement providing for the license to Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding and its affiliates, in exchange for a fee, of the right to use indices owned and published by S&P in connection with certain financial instruments, including the Buffered PLUS.

Additional Considerations

If no index closing value is available on the valuation date, the calculation agent may determine the final index value in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PLUS product supplement. In addition, if the underlying index is discontinued, the calculation agent may determine the final index value by reference to a successor index or, if no successor index is available, in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the underlying index prior to any such discontinuance. You should refer to the section “Description of the Notes—Discontinuance of an Underlying Index” and “—Alteration of Method of Calculation of an Underlying Index” in the PLUS product supplement for more information.

In case of default in payment at maturity of the Buffered PLUS, the Buffered PLUS will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the Buffered PLUS in accordance with the terms of the Buffered PLUS, 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 2.25% per annum on the unpaid amount due.
