This pricing supplement
represents a summary of the terms and conditions of the ELKS. It is important for you to consider the information contained in this pricing supplement, the ELKS product supplement, as well as the related prospectus supplement and prospectus, before
making your decision to invest in the ELKS. The description of the ELKS below supplements, and to the extent inconsistent with, replaces, the description of the general terms of the ELKS set forth in the ELKS product supplement. For purposes of this
pricing supplement, the terms Exchange Traded Fund shares and underlying shares in the ELKS product supplement mean the units of the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF).
Capitalized terms used in this pricing supplement and not defined under Final Terms below have the meanings given them in the ELKS product supplement, which can be accessed for free by visiting
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/831001/000119312507061682/d424b2.htm on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview of the ELKS
®
General
Equity LinKed Securities, or ELKS
®
, are equity-linked investments that
offer current income as well as limited protection against the decline in the price of the equity on which the ELKS are based. The ELKS Based Upon the Units of the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF)
have a maturity of approximately six months and are issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. The DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF) is an exchange traded fund designed to track the price and yield performance
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
. Some key characteristics of the ELKS include:
O
|
|
Fixed Coupon.
The ELKS pay a fixed coupon, with a yield greater than both the current dividend yield of the Underlying Equity and the yield that would be payable on a
conventional debt security of the same maturity issued by Citigroup Funding. The ELKS will pay a coupon on the Maturity Date equal to 14% per annum (approximately 7.04% for the term of the transaction on a simple interest basis).
|
O
|
|
No Principal Protection.
While the ELKS provide limited protection against the decline in the price of the Underlying Equity, the ELKS are not principal protected. For
each ELKS you hold at maturity, you will receive either (a) a fixed number of units of the Underlying Equity equal to the Equity Ratio (or, if you elect, the cash value of those units based on the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the
Valuation Date), if the price of the Underlying Equity is less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price at any time from the Pricing Date up to and including the Valuation Date (whether intra-day or at the close of trading on any day), or
(b) $10 in cash. Thus, if you receive units of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or, if you elect, the cash value of those units) and the price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the Valuation Date if you elect to receive the cash
value of those units) is less than the Initial Equity Price, the amount you receive at maturity for each ELKS will be less than the price paid for each ELKS and could be zero.
|
O
|
|
No Participation in the Growth Potential of the Underlying Equity.
In return for receiving the fixed coupon and limited protection against a decline in the price of
the Underlying Equity, you give up participation in any increase in the price of the Underlying Equity during the term of the ELKS (except in limited circumstances). Also, you will not receive dividends or other distributions, if any, paid on the
Underlying Equity or the stocks included in the Underlying Equity.
|
O
|
|
The ELKS are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the ELKS are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup
Inc., Citigroup Fundings parent company. The ELKS will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding and, as a result of the guarantee, any payments due under the ELKS will rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Inc. The return of the principal amount of your investment in the ELKS at maturity is not guaranteed.
|
O
|
|
The ELKS are not deposits or savings accounts, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or by any other governmental agency or
instrumentality, and are not guaranteed by the FDIC under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
|
Types of Investors
The ELKS may be an appropriate investment for investors seeking relatively high current income who are also willing to accept risk to the principal invested. Such
investors may include:
O
|
|
Income-oriented equity investors
|
O
|
|
Investors with moderate return expectations for the Underlying Equity who also seek limited protection against loss
|
O
|
|
Current or prospective holders of the Underlying Equity
|
O
|
|
Investors in convertible securities 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 ELKS, will receive an
underwriting fee of $0.125 for each $10.000 ELKS sold in this offering. Certain dealers, including Citi International Financial Services, Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd., and Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, broker-dealers
affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets, will receive from Citigroup Global Markets $0.100 from this underwriting fee for each ELKS they sell. Citigroup Global Markets will pay the Financial Advisors employed by Smith Barney, a division of
Citigroup Global Markets, a fixed sales commission of $0.100 for each ELKS they sell. 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 ELKS declines. You should refer to Key Risk Factors and Supplemental Plan of Distribution below and Risk Factors Relating to the ELKS and Plan of Distribution in the accompanying ELKS product
supplement related to this offering for more information.

Benefits of the ELKS
O
|
|
Current Income.
The ELKS pay a coupon on the Maturity Date with
a yield set at a rate that is currently greater than both the anticipated dividend yield on the Underlying Equity and the rate that would be paid on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by Citigroup Funding.
|
O
|
|
Protection Against Loss in Limited Circumstances.
At maturity,
you will receive your original investment in the ELKS even if the price of the Underlying Equity has declined from the Initial Equity Price, as long as the price does not decline to less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price at any time
(including intra-day) during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date. In this case, you will not suffer the same loss that a direct investment in the Underlying Equity would produce. However, if at any time (including intra-day)
during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date, the price of the Underlying Equity is less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price, the amount you receive at maturity may be less than your initial investment and could be
zero.
|
Key Risk Factors
An investment in the ELKS involves significant risks. While some of these risks are summarized below, please review Risk Factors Relating to the ELKS in
the ELKS product supplement and Risk Factors in the related prospectus supplement for a full description of risks.
O
|
|
Potential for Loss.
The amount you will receive at maturity on
the ELKS will depend on the price of the Underlying Equity during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date. If, at any time (including intra-day) during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date, the price of the
Underlying Equity declines from the Initial Equity Price to be less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price, and the closing price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the Valuation Date if you elect to receive the cash value of the
Equity Ratio) is less than the Initial Equity Price, the amount you receive at maturity will be less than your initial investment in the ELKS and could be zero.
|
O
|
|
Volatility of the Price of the Underlying Equity
. Volatility is
the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations in the price of the Underlying Equity. Because the amount of your return on the ELKS at maturity, if any, depends upon the price of the Underlying Equity (including intra-day)
during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date and may be based on the closing price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the Valuation Date if you elect to receive the cash value of the Equity Ratio), the volatility of
the price of the Underlying Equity may result in your receiving an amount at maturity that is less than your initial investment in the ELKS and could be zero. Although past price volatility is not indicative of future price volatility, see
Description of the DIAMONDS Trust Historical Data on the DIAMONDS Units and Graph of Historical Trading Price Information in this pricing supplement for more information on the historical prices
of the Underlying Equity.
|
O
|
|
Appreciation May Be Limited.
You will not participate in any
appreciation in the price of the Underlying Equity, and the return on the ELKS will be limited to the coupon payable on the ELKS, unless (i) the price of the Underlying Equity at any time (including intra-day) during the term of the ELKS up to
and including the Valuation Date declines from the Initial Equity Price to be less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price and (ii) the closing price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the Valuation Date if you elect to receive
the cash value of the Equity Ratio) is greater than the Initial Equity Price. Therefore, the return on the ELKS may be less than the return on a similar security that allows you to participate more fully in the appreciation of the price of the
Underlying Equity, or on a direct investment in the Underlying Equity, if the price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the Valuation Date, as applicable) is significantly greater than the Initial Equity Price but you do not receive units of
the Underlying Equity (or the cash value of those units) at maturity.
|
O
|
|
Potential for a Lower Comparative Yield.
If the price of the
Underlying Equity is less than or equal to the Downside Threshold Price at any time (including intra-day) during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date and the closing price of the Underlying Equity at maturity (or on the
Valuation Date if you elect to receive the cash value of the Equity Ratio) is less than approximately $72.57 (resulting in your receiving a total amount at maturity that is less than the principal amount of your ELKS), the effective yield on the
ELKS may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding with a comparable maturity.
|
O
|
|
Relationship to the Underlying Equity.
You will have no rights against the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF) or its publisher or any issuer of any stock included in the Underlying Equity even though the
market value of the ELKS and the amount you will receive at maturity depend on the price of the Underlying Equity. None of the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF) or its publisher or any issuer of any
stock included in the Underlying Equity is involved in the offering of the ELKS and has any obligations relating to the ELKS. In addition, you will have no voting rights and will not receive dividends or other distributions, if any, with
respect to the Underlying Equity unless and until you receive units of the Underlying Equity at maturity.
|
O
|
|
Exchange Listing and Secondary Market.
The ELKS will not be
listed on any exchange. There is currently no secondary market for the ELKS. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the ELKS. Although Citigroup Global Markets intends to make a market in
the ELKS, it is not obligated to do so.
|
O
|
|
Resale Value of the ELKS May Be Lower Than Your Initial Investment.
Due to, among other things, changes in the prices of and dividend yields on units of the Underlying Equity or on the stocks included in the Underlying Equity, interest rates, the earnings performance of the issuers
of the stocks included in the Underlying Equity, other economic conditions and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.s perceived creditworthiness, the ELKS may trade at prices below their initial issue price of $10 per ELKS. You could receive
substantially less than the amount of your initial investment upon any resale of your ELKS.
|
O
|
|
The Trading Price of the Units of the Underlying Equity May Not Completely Track
the Value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
.
Although the trading price of the
units of the Underlying Equity is generally expected to mirror the characteristics and valuations of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
, the trading price of the
Underlying Equity may not completely track the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
. The trading price of the Underlying Equity will reflect expenses and
transaction costs not included in the calculation of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
. Additionally, it is possible that, for a short period, the Underlying Equity
may not fully replicate the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
due to extraordinary circumstances. See Description of the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF) in this pricing supplement.
|
O
|
|
Fees and Conflicts.
Citigroup Global Markets and its affiliates
involved in this offering are expected to receive compensation for activities and services provided in connection with the ELKS. Further, Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the ELKS through the trading of the Underlying Equity
or the stocks included in the Underlying Equity or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the Underlying Equity or the stocks included in the Underlying Equity by one or more of its affiliates. Each of Citigroup
Fundings or its affiliates hedging activities and Citigroup Global Markets role as the Calculation Agent for the ELKS may result in a conflict of interest.
|
O
|
|
The United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the ELKS Are Uncertain.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the ELKS or instruments similar to the ELKS 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 ELKS are not certain. No ruling is being requested from the Internal Revenue Service with
|
|
respect to the ELKS 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 pricing supplement or under What Are the United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the ELKS? and Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations in the ELKS product supplement. It is also possible that future U.S. legislation, regulations or other IRS guidance would require you to accrue income on the ELKS on a current basis at ordinary income rates (as opposed to
capital gains rates) or to treat the ELKS in another manner that significantly differs from the agreed-to treatment discussed under Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations in this pricing supplement and under What Are the
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the ELKS? and Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations in the ELKS product supplement, and that any such guidance could have retroactive effect.
|
O
|
|
Citigroup Inc. Credit Risk.
The ELKS are subject to the credit
risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Fundings parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the ELKS.

Description of the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF)
General
DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1 (ETF)
According to publicly available documents, the DIAMONDS
®
Trust, Series 1
(the Trust) is a unit investment trust created under the laws of the State of New York and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust was created to provide investors with the opportunity to purchase units of
beneficial interest in the Trust (such units, the DIAMONDS units) representing proportionate undivided interests in the portfolio of securities consisting of substantially all of the component common stocks, which comprise the Dow Jones
Industrial Average
SM
. The Trust is currently subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, the
Trust files reports (including its Semi-annual Report to Shareholders on Form N-30D for the six months ended April 30, 2008 and other information) with the SEC. The Trusts reports and other information are available to the public on the
SECs website at http://www.sec.gov, or may be inspected and copied at offices of the SEC at the locations listed in the section Prospectus Summary Where You Can Find More Information in the prospectus related to this
offering.
The DIAMONDS units intend to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond
to the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
. The Trust holds stocks (the Portfolio) and cash and is not actively
managed by traditional methods, which typically involve effecting changes in the Portfolio on the basis of judgments made relating to economic, financial and market considerations. To maintain the correspondence between the composition
and weightings of the Portfolio and component stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
(the Index Securities), State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
Trustee) adjusts the Portfolio from time to time to conform to periodic changes in the identity and/or relative weightings of Index Securities. The Trustee generally makes these adjustments to the Portfolio within three business days
before or after the day on which changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
are scheduled to take effect. Any change in the identity or weighting of an Index
Security will result in a corresponding
adjustment to the prescribed Portfolio effective on any business day either prior to, on, or following the day on which the change
to the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
takes effect after the close of the market.
The value of DIAMONDS units fluctuates in relation to changes in the value of the Portfolio. The market price of each
individual DIAMONDS unit may not be identical to the net asset value of such DIAMONDS units but, historically, these two valuations have been very close. Although the trading price of the DIAMONDS units is generally expected to mirror the
characteristics and valuations of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
, the trading price of the DIAMONDS units may not completely track the value of the Dow Jones
Industrial Average
SM
. The trading price of the DIAMONDS units will reflect expenses and transaction costs not included in the calculation of the Dow Jones Industrial
Average
SM
. Additionally, it is possible that, for a short period, the DIAMONDS units may not fully replicate the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial
Average
SM
due to extraordinary circumstances.
Neither Citigroup Funding nor
Citigroup Inc. has participated in the preparation of the Trusts publicly available documents and has not made any due diligence investigation or inquiry of the Trust in connection with the offering of the ELKS. We make no representation that
the publicly available information about the Trust is accurate or complete.
The ELKS represent obligations of Citigroup Funding only. The Trust is not involved in
any way in this offering and has no obligation relating to the ELKS or to holders of the ELKS.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
Unless otherwise stated, we have derived all information regarding the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
provided in this pricing supplement, including its composition, method of calculation and changes in components, from Dow Jones & Company, Inc., which we refer to as Dow Jones,
publicly available sources and other sources we believe to be reliable. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Dow Jones. Dow Jones is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the
publication of, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
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 Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
is a
benchmark of performance for leading companies in the U.S. stock market. The index consists of 30 blue-chip U.S. stocks, although this has not always been the case. The index initially consisted of twelve common stocks and was first
published in The Wall Street Journal in 1896. The index was increased to include 20 common stocks in 1916 and to 30 common stocks in 1928. The number of common stocks in the index has remained at 30 since 1928, and, in an effort to maintain
continuity, the constituent corporations represented in the index have been changed on a relatively infrequent basis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
is a price-weighted index (i.e., the weight of an underlying stock in the index is based on its price per share rather than
the total market capitalization of the issuer of such component stock) comprised of 30 common stocks chosen by the editors of
The Wall Street Journal
from
companies outside of the transportation or utility business that are representative of the broad market of U.S. industry. The corporations represented in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
tend to be leaders within their respective industries and their stocks are typically widely held by individuals and institutional investors. Changes in the composition of the index are made entirely by the editors of
The Wall Street Journal
without consultation with the corporations represented in the index, any stock exchange, any official
agency, or Citigroup Funding Inc. Changes to the common stocks included in the index tend to be made infrequently. Historically,
most substitutions have been the result of mergers, but from time to time, changes may be made to achieve what the editors of
The Wall Street Journal
deem to be a
more accurate representation of the broad market of U.S. industry. In choosing a new corporation for the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
, the editors of
The Wall Street Journal
look for leading industrial companies with a successful history of growth and wide interest among investors. The component stocks of the index may be
changed at any time for any reason. Dow Jones, publisher of
The Wall Street Journal
, is not affiliated with Citigroup Funding Inc. and has not participated in any
way in the issuance of the Notes.
The value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
is the sum of the primary exchange prices of each of the 30 common stocks included in the index, divided by a divisor that is designed to provide meaningful continuity in the value of the
index. Because the index is price-weighted, stock splits or changes in the component stocks could result in distortions in the index value. In order to prevent such distortions related to extrinsic factors, the divisor is changed in accordance with
a mathematical formula that reflects adjusted proportions within the index. The current divisor of the index is published daily in
The Wall Street Journal
and
other publications. In addition, other statistics based on the index may be found in a variety of publicly available sources.
THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE
SM
DOES NOT REFLECT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS ON THE STOCKS UNDERLYING IT AND THEREFORE THE RETURN ON THE ELKS WILL
NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RETURN YOU WOULD RECEIVE IF YOU WERE TO PURCHASE SUCH UNDERLYING STOCKS AND HOLD THEM UNTIL THE MATURITY DATE.
Historical Data on the DIAMONDS Units

Graph of Historical Trading Price Information
The following graph sets forth the daily closing price of the DIAMONDS units, as reported on NYSE Arca, from January 2, 2003 to November 20, 2008. Past closing prices of
the DIAMONDS units are not indicative of future closing prices of the DIAMONDS units. The following graph does not reflect intra-day pricing.
Hypothetical Amounts Payable at Maturity
The six examples of hypothetical maturity payment calculations set forth below are based on the following assumptions:
O
|
|
Issue Price: $10.00 per ELKS
|
O
|
|
Coupon: 6.25% for the six-month term of the ELKS (12.50% per annum), payable at maturity ($0.625 per ELKS total)
|
O
|
|
Initial Equity Price: $90.00 per DIAMONDS unit
|
O
|
|
Annualized current regular dividend yield of the Trust: 2.00%
|
O
|
|
Equity Ratio: 0.11111 DIAMONDS units per ELKS
|
O
|
|
Maturity Date: Six months after the Issue Date
|
O
|
|
At maturity, whether investors receive the DIAMONDS units or their initial investment ($10.00 per ELKS) depends on whether the DIAMONDS units have declined by 25% or more to
$67.50 or less at any time (whether intra-day or at the close of trading on any day) during the term of the ELKS up to and including the Valuation Date.
|
O
|
|
When applicable, the holder of the ELKS will not elect to receive the cash value of the DIAMONDS units equal to the Equity Ratio.
|
O
|
|
The closing price of the DIAMONDS units on the Valuation Date is the same as the closing price on the Maturity Date.
|
The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results
if different assumptions were applied. The actual amount you will receive at maturity will depend on the actual Initial Equity Price, the percentage decline from the Initial Equity Price, which will determine whether you receive a fixed number of
the DIAMONDS units at maturity (or the cash value of those units at your election) instead of $10 and the change in the price of the DIAMONDS units from the Initial Equity Price at any time during the term of the ELKS up to and including the
Valuation Date.
Additionally, if you elect to receive the cash value of the DIAMONDS units equal to the Equity Ratio you would otherwise be entitled to at maturity,
the amount of cash you receive at maturity will be determined based on the closing price of the DIAMONDS units on the Valuation Date. This amount will not change from the amount fixed on the Valuation Date, even if the closing price of the DIAMONDS
units changes from the Valuation Date to maturity. Conversely, if you do not make a cash election and instead receive a number of DIAMONDS units at maturity equal to the Equity Ratio, the value of those DIAMONDS units at maturity will be different
than the value of those DIAMONDS units on the Valuation Date if the closing price of the DIAMONDS units changes from the Valuation Date to maturity.
Example 1:
The lowest Trading Price of the DIAMONDS units at any time after the Pricing Date up to and including the third Trading Day before maturity is $67.95 per unit,
which is not less than or equal to 75% of the Initial Equity Price, and the closing price of the DIAMONDS units at maturity is $72.00 per unit, which is less than the Initial Equity Price.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations
The following is a summary of certain federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ELKS by U.S. investors
(U.S. Holders) and certain non-U.S. investors described below. This discussion supplements, and to the extent inconsistent with, replaces the discussion contained in the ELKS product supplement under What Are the United States
Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the ELKS? and Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.
All prospective investors
(including tax-exempt investors) should refer to the ELKS product supplement related to this offering for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and should consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them
of investing in the ELKS.
U.S. Holders
For U.S. federal
income tax purposes, you and Citigroup Funding agree to treat an ELKS as a grant by you to Citigroup Funding of an option on a forward contract, pursuant to which forward contract, at maturity you will purchase the DIAMONDS units (or the cash
equivalent). In addition, you and Citigroup Funding agree to treat the amounts invested by you as a cash deposit that will be used to satisfy your purchase obligation. The summary below assumes such treatment, except where otherwise stated.
The coupon payment paid on the ELKS should be divided into two separate components for tax purposes: an interest component and an option premium component. Of the
total coupon payable on the ELKS, approximately 20% will be characterized as the interest component and approximately 80% will be characterized as the option premium component. These components should be taxed as follows:
O
|
|
You will be required to include any interest payment as interest income at the time that such interest is accrued or received in accordance with your method of accounting.
|
O
|
|
You will not be required to include any option premium received in income until sale or other taxable disposition of the ELKS or retirement of the ELKS.
|
If you hold the ELKS until they mature:
O
|
|
If you receive cash at maturity, you will recognize short-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (x) the sum of cash received at maturity and the
entire option premium (but not including any interest payment), and (y) your purchase price for the ELKS;
|
O
|
|
If you receive the DIAMONDS units upon the retirement of the ELKS, subject to the discussion below, you should not expect to recognize any gain or loss on the receipt of the
DIAMONDS units, and your tax basis in the DIAMONDS units generally will equal your purchase price for the ELKS less the amount of the entire option premium.
|
If you sell your ELKS for cash prior to maturity, you will generally have a short-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (x) the sum of the cash received at disposition and the option premium previously received, if
any (but not including any interest payment), and (y) your purchase price for the ELKS.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of
the ELKS or instruments similar to the ELKS for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Due to the absence of authority as to the proper characterization of the ELKS, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will
accept, or that a court will uphold, the agreed-to characterization and tax treatment described above, and alternative treatments of the ELKS could result in less favorable U.S. federal income tax consequences to you, including a requirement to
include the entire coupon on the ELKS as ordinary income. In addition, there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with the agreed-to characterization and tax treatment of the retirement of the ELKS described above, and you may be required by the
IRS to recognize gain on the receipt of the DIAMONDS units or to treat cash or stock received at maturity or on sale as ordinary income rather than as gain.
It is
also possible that future regulations or other IRS guidance would require you to accrue income on the ELKS on a current basis at ordinary income rates (as opposed to capital gains rates) or to treat the ELKS in another manner that significantly
differs from the agreed-to treatment discussed above. The IRS and U.S. Treasury Department recently 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 ELKS. 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 investors 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.
Non-U.S. Holders
In the case of a holder of an ELKS that is not a U.S. person (a Non-U.S. Holder), the interest payment made with respect to the ELKS should not be subject to U.S.
withholding tax, provided that such holder complies with applicable certification requirements (including in general the furnishing of an IRS form W-8 or substitute form).
Any capital gain realized upon the maturity, sale or other disposition of the ELKS by a Non-U.S. Holder should generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if:
|
1.
|
Such gain is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such holder, and
|
|
2.
|
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, 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 ELKS.
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 ELKS 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 ELKS 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 ELKS or (B) its acquisition and holding of the ELKS 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 ELKS 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 ELKS by the account, plan or annuity.
You should
refer to the section ERISA Matters in the ELKS product supplement for more information.
Supplemental Plan of
Distribution
Citigroup Global Markets, acting as principal, has agreed to purchase from Citigroup Funding, and Citigroup Funding has agreed to sell to Citigroup
Global Markets, $3,940,000 principal amount of ELKS (394,000 ELKS) at $9.875 per ELKS, any payments due on which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Global Markets proposes to offer some of the ELKS directly to the
public at the public offering price set forth under Final Terms above and some of the ELKS to certain dealers, including Citi International Financial Services, Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. and Citigroup Global Markets Asia
Limited, broker-dealers affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets, at the public offering price less a concession of $0.100 per ELKS. Citigroup Global Markets may allow, and these dealers may reallow, a concession of $0.100 per ELKS on sales to
certain other dealers. Citigroup Global Markets will pay the Financial Advisors employed by Smith Barney, a division of Citigroup Global Markets, a fixed sales commission of $0.100 per ELKS for each ELKS they sell. If all of the ELKS are not sold at

Additional
Considerations
In the event you are entitled to receive units of the Underlying Equity at maturity of the ELKS, the amount you receive will be subject to adjustment
for a number of events that modify the Underlying Equity issuers capital or corporate structures. You should refer to the section Description of the ELKS Dilution Adjustments in the ELKS product supplement for more
information. However, the amount you will receive at maturity, if applicable, will not be adjusted for all events that may adversely affect the price of the Underlying Equity, and these other events may have the effect of reducing the amount you
will receive at maturity if you receive units of the Underlying Equity (or the cash value of those units at your election).
In case of default in payment at maturity
of the ELKS, the ELKS will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the ELKS in accordance with the terms of the ELKS, 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 3.25% per annum on the unpaid amount (or the cash equivalent of the unpaid amount) due.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and ELKS product supplement. We are not making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the
information contained or incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the document.
