Overview of the Notes

 

The Notes are senior unsecured debt securities of Citigroup Funding Inc. offering no principal protection. Any maturity payment you receive may be less than your initial investment in the Notes and could be zero. Any payments due on the Notes, including at maturity, will be based on the performance of the Basket Components contained in the Energy MLP Basket. The Basket Components will be initially equally weighted and rebalanced to equal weighting on the Basket Rebalancing Date. Some of the key characteristics of the Notes include:

 

n  

No Principal Protection. The Notes are not principal protected. The amount you receive at maturity, if any, will be based on the Net Investment Value of the Notes, may be less than your initial investment in the Notes and could be zero.

 

n  

Variable Quarterly Interest Payments. We will pay interest on the Notes quarterly on December     , 2010, March     , 2011, June     , 2011 and on the Maturity Date. The amount of interest payable per Note will vary and for each quarterly Interest Period will equal the sum of (i) the Fixed Interest Amount and (ii) the Variable Interest Amount, which may be zero. The Fixed Interest Amount will equal 0.20% per annum of each $1,000 Note. The Variable Interest Amount will equal the total amount of ordinary cash dividends with respect to the Basket Components for which an

 

Ex-Date has occurred during each quarterly Interest Period, if any, for each $1,000 Note.

 

n  

Net Investment Value. On the Pricing Date, the Net Investment Value will be $990 per Note. On any Trading Day after the Pricing Date, the Net Investment Value per Note will equal (A) (i) $990 multiplied by (ii) the Basket Return Percentage plus (B) any accrued and unpaid Dividend Amount up to and including that Trading Day minus (C) the Accumulated Basket Adjustment Fee. Because the Net Investment Value per Note will be determined by multiplying the Basket Return Percentage by $990, not $1,000 per Note, only 99.00% of your initial investment in the Notes will participate in the appreciation, if any, of the Energy MLP Basket. Additionally, because the Net Investment Value will be calculated after the deduction of an Adjustment Factor of 1.00% per annum, which will accrue daily during the term of the Notes based upon the Net Investment Value on the immediately preceding Trading Day, this Accumulated Basket Adjustment Fee will reduce the Net Investment Value and, therefore, the return on your investment in the Notes, if any.

The Notes are a series of senior unsecured debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc., the payments

on which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. The Notes will rank equally with all other



 

Strategic Market Access Notes     |  3          

 

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 Inc. The return of the full principal amount of your investment at maturity is not guaranteed.

The Notes are not deposits or savings accounts and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other governmental agency or instrumentality. All payments on the Notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.

Types of Investors

The Notes may be an appropriate investment for investors with an optimistic view on the Energy MLP Basket who are also willing to accept the risk to the principal invested. Such investors may include:

 

n  

Investors looking for potential periodic income

 

n  

Investors with positive return expectations for the Energy MLP Basket who are willing to risk principal

 

Commissions and Fees

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an affiliate of Citigroup Funding and the underwriter of the sale of the Notes, will receive an underwriting fee of $10 for each Note sold in this offering, subject to reduction for volume purchase discounts depending on the aggregate amount of Notes purchased by an investor. From this underwriting fee, Citigroup Global Markets will pay selected dealers, including broker-dealers affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets, a concession, and Financial Advisors employed by Citigroup Global Markets will receive a fixed sales commission, of $10 for each Note they sell, subject to reduction for volume purchase discounts depending on the aggregate amount of Notes purchased by an investor. 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 Notes declines. You should refer to “Risk Factors Relating to the Notes” and “Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” in the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for more information.

Benefits of the Notes

 

n  

Growth Potential. The Net Investment Value payable on the Maturity Date, if any, is primarily based on the Basket Return Percentage of the Energy MLP Basket, which compares the value of the Energy MLP Basket on the Valuation Date to its value on the Pricing Date, enabling you to participate in the increase, if any, in the value of the Energy MLP Basket. However, you will not fully participate in any increase in the value of the Energy MLP Basket because the Net Investment Value is calculated after deducting the Basket Adjustment Factor and a sales charge of $10 per Note.

 

n  

Variable Quarterly Interest Payments. The Notes will pay a quarterly interest amount that will vary and for each quarterly Interest Period will equal the sum of (i) the Fixed Interest Amount of 0.20% per annum and (ii) the Variable Interest Amount, which may be zero. If the Variable Interest Amount is zero on any Interest Determination Date, your interest payment for that Interest Period will be as little as $0.50 per Note.

Key Risk Factors for the Notes

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

 

Risk Factors Relating to the Notes

 

n  

Potential for Loss. The amount payable at maturity, if any, will depend on the Net Investment Value on the Valuation Date and may be less than the amount you paid for your Notes. If the value of the Energy MLP Basket declines, remains the same or does not increase by an amount greater than the sum of (i) the Accumulated Basket Adjustment Fee and (ii) a sales charge of $10 per Note from its value on the Pricing Date, so that the Net Investment Value on the Valuation Date is less than $1,000 per Note, the amount you receive for each Note at maturity will be less than the $1,000 you paid for each Note. This will be true even if the value of the Energy MLP Basket at one or more times during the term of the Notes exceeds the value of the Energy MLP Basket on the Pricing Date.

 

n  

The Amount of Interest Payable on the Notes Will Vary and May Be as Low as 0.20% Per Annum. Because the Variable Interest Amount portion of the interest payment on the Notes is based on the Dividend Amount during the relevant Interest Period, the amount of interest payable on the Notes will vary and may be as low as 0.20% per annum per $1,000 Note. If the Dividend Amount is zero on any Interest Determination Date, you will not receive a Variable Interest Amount for the related Interest Period and the total amount of interest payable per Note during that Interest Period will be as little as $0.50 (0.20% per annum paid quarterly).

 

n  

You Will Not Fully Participate in Any Appreciation of the Energy MLP Basket. Because the Net Investment Value per Note is determined by multiplying the Basket Return Percentage by $990, not $1,000 per Note, only 99.00% of your initial investment in the Notes will participate in the appreciation, if any, of the Energy MLP Basket. Additionally, the Net Investment Value is calculated after deducting the Basket Adjustment Factor, which further reduces your participation in the appreciation, if any, of the Energy MLP Basket.

 

n  

Reference to a Basket May Lower Your Return. Because the value of the Energy MLP Basket will be based on the closing prices of the fifteen Basket

   

Components, a significant increase in the closing price of one Basket Component but not another may be substantially or entirely offset by a decrease in the closing price of another Basket Component. This may cause your return on the Notes, if any, to be less than the return on a similar instrument linked to one or more of the Basket Components.

 

n  

Potential for a Lower Comparative Yield. If the Net Investment Value on the Valuation Date is less than         %, the effective yield on the Notes will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable debt security of Citigroup Funding Inc. (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity.

 

n  

Citigroup Inc. Credit Risk, Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads. Investors in the Notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the Notes, 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 Notes.

 

n  

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

 

n  

The Resale Value of the Notes May Be Lower Than Your Initial Investment. Due to, among other things, changes in the Closing Value of the Energy MLP Basket, other economic conditions, the inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the public offering price of the Notes and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.’s perceived creditworthiness, the Notes may trade, if at all, at prices below their initial issue price of $1,000 per Note. You could receive substantially less than the amount of your initial investment if you sell your Notes prior to maturity.



 

Strategic Market Access Notes     |  7          
n  

Citigroup Funding’s Hedging and Trading Activity Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes. Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the Notes through the trading of the Basket Components or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the Basket Components by one or more of its affiliates. This hedging activity on, or prior to, the Pricing Date could increase the closing prices of the Basket Components, and potentially increase the closing prices the Basket Components must be above on the Valuation Date before you can receive at maturity a payment that exceeds your initial investment in the Notes. Additionally, such hedging activity during the term of the Notes could potentially affect the Net Investment Value of the Notes. This hedging activity during the term of the Notes also could affect the market price of the Underlying Equity and therefore the market value of the Notes.

 

n  

Market Price Influenced by Inclusion of Underwriting Fees and Projected Profit from Hedging Activity. The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging in the 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 Notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the issue price, since the issue price includes and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the Notes, as well as the projected profit included in the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. 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. The secondary market prices for the Notes are also likely to be reduced by costs of unwinding the related hedging transaction. Our affiliates may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if the market value of the Notes declines. In addition, any secondary market prices for the Notes 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. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Can You Tell Me More About the Effect of Citigroup Funding’s Hedging Activity?” in the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering.

 

n  

The United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Notes Are Potentially Less Favorable than Those of a Direct Investment in the Underlying MLPs. The United States federal income tax treatment of the Notes differs from the treatment of a direct

   

investment in the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket. In particular, investors who are “U.S. persons” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) should be aware that the Notes are subject to the “constructive ownership” rules set forth in Section 1260 of the Code, which re-characterizes long-term capital gain that may be recognized in respect of the Notes as ordinary income to the extent such gain is greater than the net long-term gain that would have been realized on a comparable direct investment in the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket and imposes an interest charge on the deemed underpayment of tax with respect to certain income items that are considered to have been deferred by a holder who invests in the Notes rather than in the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket directly. Investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisers as to the consequences of an investment in the Notes, including the application of Section 1260 to the Notes.

Special Considerations Related to the Basket Components Included in the Energy MLP Basket

 

n  

Energy MLP Market Risks May Affect the Value of the Notes and the Amount You Will Receive at Maturity. We expect that the value of the Energy MLP Basket will fluctuate in accordance with changes in the closing prices of the Basket Components, the financial condition of the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket and certain other factors. The financial condition of the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket may become impaired or the general condition of the energy MLP market may deteriorate, either of which may cause a decrease in the value of the Energy MLP Basket and thus in the value of the Notes. Securities are susceptible to general market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value, as market confidence in and perceptions regarding the Basket Components change. Investor perceptions of the Basket Components are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary, tax and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic, and banking crises. The value of the Energy MLP Basket is expected to fluctuate until the Maturity Date.

 

n  

The Return on the Notes May Be Lower Than the Return on a Note Linked to a More Diversified Basket. While the Energy MLP Basket will consist of fifteen Basket Components, all MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket are engaged in energy sector



 

          8  |     Strategic Market Access Notes

 

   

businesses, in particular the midstream energy assets, products and services such as gathering and processing and the fractionating, storing, terminalling, transporting, distributing trading and marketing of natural resources or energy assets. In addition, for the most part, the businesses, operations and consumers of all fifteen MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket are predominantly based in the continental United States and may be geographically concentrated. Such lack of diversification may cause the value of the Energy MLP Basket to move in the same or a similar direction (to be “highly correlated”), to be more volatile or to cause the return on the Notes, if any, to be less than the return on a similar instrument linked to more diversified basket.

 

n  

The Basket Components Are Subject to the Risks Related to the Energy Industry. All of the Basket Components are issued by MLPs whose primary lines of business are directly associated with the energy industry, including the oil and gas sector. In addition, many of these MLPs are non-diversified businesses that are exposed to the risks associated with those businesses, including the lack of capital funding to sustain or grow businesses and potential competition from larger, better financed and more diversified businesses. MLPs in the energy industry are significantly affected by a number of factors, including government, economic, monetary, tax and fiscal policies, changes in weather and environmental conditions, which could cause a downturn in the energy industry generally or regionally and could cause the price of some or all of the Basket Components to decline, and the amounts of their cash dividends to decrease, during the term of the Notes.

 

n  

The Value of the Energy MLP Basket and the Interest Payments on the Notes Could be Significantly Reduced if the Current Tax or Other Regulatory Treatment of the MLP Issuers Changes. As of the date of this offering summary, MLPs are taxed as partnerships for federal income tax purposes and, generally, are not subject to entity-level taxation by individual states. If MLPs cease to be taxed as partnerships but become subject to taxation as

   

corporations or if other regulatory authorities enact regulations which negatively affect MLPs’ ability to generate or distribute income, cash flow and after-tax dividends or other distributions paid to holders of MLP common units could be significantly reduced. Any reduction in dividends paid on the Basket Components will reduce the quarterly interest payments on the Notes. In addition, reductions in cash flow or payments made to holders of MLP common units likely would result in a significant reduction in the value of the Basket Components. Any reduction in the value of the Basket Components will reduce the Closing Value of the Energy MLP Basket, and accordingly, the value of the Notes.

 

n  

Relationship to the MLPs Represented in the Energy MLP Basket. You will have no rights as a holder of the Notes with respect to any of the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket, even though the market value of the Notes is expected to depend, in part, on the closing prices of the Basket Components and the amount of cash distributions, if any, paid on the Basket Components over the term of the Notes. The MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket are not involved in the offering of the Notes and have no obligations relating to the Notes. In addition, you will have no voting rights and will not directly receive dividends or other distributions, if any, from the represented in the Energy MLP Basket, if any, with respect to any of the Basket Components.

 

n  

The Historical Data on the Basket Components Are Not Indicative of the Future Performance of the Basket Components. The historical data on the Basket Components, which are included in this offering summary, should not be taken as an indication of the actual performance of the Basket Components during the term of the Notes, an indication of whether you should sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, or an indication of the actual amount you will receive at maturity. Changes in the prices of the Basket Components will affect the value of the energy MLP basket and the market value of the Notes, but it is impossible to predict whether the actual price of each Basket Component will rise or fall.

Interest Payments and Payments at Maturity – Hypothetical Examples

 

The examples of hypothetical interest payments and maturity payments set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Dividend Amounts and Ending Basket Values of the Energy MLP Basket on the amount you will receive in respect of the Notes.

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. The actual amount you receive on each Interest Payment Date will depend on the actual Dividend Amount for that Interest Period, and the actual amount you receive if you hold your Notes at maturity will depend on the actual Net Investment Value on the Valuation Date.

Hypothetical Interest Payments

The interest payable on each quarterly Interest Payment Date, which can be as little as $0.50 (0.05% of $1,000 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the Dividend Amount for that Interest Period. The Dividend Amount will vary and could be zero for any Interest Period. Because the Dividend Amount may be subject to significant variations during each Interest Period, it is not possible to present a complete range of possible interest amounts

The examples of hypothetical interest amounts set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Dividend Amounts in each Interest Period, which depends on the actual amount of ordinary cash dividends with respect to the Basket Components for which an Ex-Date has occurred during such Interest Period. The hypothetical interest amounts are based on the assumption that there are 90 days in each Interest Period, that the Notes have a term of twelve months and that the Notes are held to maturity.1 The hypothetical Total Interest Amount for each Interest Period provided in the examples below is only relevant to such Interest Period. A hypothetical return for one Interest Period is no indication of such return for a subsequent Interest Period.

Example 1: The Dividend Amount is the same in each Interest Period.

Each Interest Period

 

n  

Fixed Interest Amount: $0.50 per Note (0.20% per annum on $1,000 per Note)

 

n  

Hypothetical Variable Interest Amount: $14.85 per Note (a 6% per annum dividend yield on the Basket Components)

 

n  

Hypothetical Total Interest Amount payable on each Interest Payment Date: $15.35 per Note Hypothetical Total Interest Amount paid per Note: $61.40 ($2.00 total Fixed Interest Amount per Note + $59.40 total Variable Interest Amount per Note)

Hypothetical Payments at Maturity and Total Returns

The maturity payment due on the Notes will be based on the Net Investment Value on the Valuation Date. The Net Investment Value depends on the Ending Basket Value, the Dividend Amount and the Accumulated Basket Adjustment Fee. Because the Net Investment Value may be subject to significant variations during the term of the Notes, it is not possible to present a table illustrating a complete range of possible Net Investment Values or total returns on the Notes.

The examples of hypothetical Net Investment Values on the Valuation Date, total payments and total returns on the Notes set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Ending Basket Values and Dividend Amounts on the payment due. All of the hypothetical examples below are based on the following assumptions:

 

n  

Issue price: $1,000 per Note



 

          20  |     Strategic Market Access Notes

 

 

n  

Starting Basket Value: 100

 

n  

Basket Adjustment Factor: 1.00% per annum, which equals a total Accumulated Basket Adjustment Fee of $9.90 (calculated using a constant Hypothetical Net Investment Value of $990 per Note)2

The Notes are held until maturity.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for U.S. investors that are initial holders of the Notes and that hold the Notes as capital assets. A “U.S. Holder” is defined to mean a person that is (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or (iii) otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the Notes.

In purchasing a Note, you agree with Citigroup Funding that you and Citigroup Funding intend to treat the Note as a cash settled prepaid forward contract providing for the future payment based on the value of the Energy MLP Basket, under which an amount equal to the purchase price of the Note is treated as an interest-bearing cash deposit to be applied at maturity in full satisfaction of the holder’s payment obligation under the

prepaid forward contract. Payments of interest on the Notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time that such payments are accrued or received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting. In addition, and subject to the discussion below about Section 1260 of the Code, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note. In addition, at maturity a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss under such treatment equal to any difference between the amount of cash received from Citigroup Funding and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note at that time. Gain or loss on the sale, redemption or other disposition of the Notes generally will be long-term capital gain or loss under such treatment if the U.S. Holder has held the Notes for more than one year at maturity. A U.S. Holder should be

aware that the Notes are subject to the “constructive ownership” rules set forth in Section 1260 of the Code, which re-characterizes long-term capital gain that may be recognized in respect of the Notes as ordinary income to the extent such gain is greater than the net long-term gain that would have been realized on a comparable direct investment in the Basket Components and imposes an interest charge on the deemed underpayment of tax with respect to certain income items that are considered to have been deferred by a holder who invests in the Notes rather than in the MLPs directly.

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the Notes or instruments similar to the Notes 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 Notes are not certain. Accordingly, a prospective investor (including a tax-exempt investor) in the Notes should consult his or her tax advisor in determining the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including the application of State, Local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in Federal or other tax laws.

In the case of a holder of a Note that is not a U.S. Holder, subject to the possible reduction or elimination of that rate under an applicable income tax treaty, payments of interest made with respect to the Notes will be subject to

U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (unless that income is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, in which case, in order to avoid withholding, such Non-U.S. Holder will likely be required to provide a properly executed Form W-8ECI). Any capital gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the Notes should not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax if:

 

  1. such gain is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such holder,

 

  2. such holder has not beneficially owned, during its holding period for the Notes, Notes whose fair market value attributable to any of the MLPs represented in the Energy MLP Basket exceeds 5% of the fair market value of such MLP’s regularly traded class of interests, and

 

  3. 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.

You should refer to the preliminary 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 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, 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 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.
