By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Jan. 23 - Citigroup Inc. priced $12 billion of notes (Aaa/AAA/AAA) in four tranches backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program Friday, an informed source said.

The issue was a mix of fixed- and floating-rate notes.

The $2.25 billion of floaters due July 30, 2010 priced at par to yield three-month Libor plus 10 basis points.

A second $1.9 billion tranche of floaters due April 30, 2012 priced at par to yield three-month Libor plus 33 bps.

A final $350 million tranche of floaters due April 30, 2012 priced at par to yield one-month Libor plus 45 bps.

The largest tranche of the issue was $7.5 billion 2.125% notes due April 30, 2012, which priced at 99.086 to yield 2.1875%, or Treasuries plus 105.75 bps.

All of the notes are non-callable.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. was the bookrunner.

This is the largest FDIC-backed issue that has priced to date. The largest previously was $10 billion from General Electric Capital Corp.
