By Andrea Heisinger

New York, June 25 - Two units of Citigroup Inc. priced $5 billion of notes (Aaa/AAA/AAA) in four tranches Thursday that are backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., an informed source said.

The two tranches of two-year notes were issued by Citibank NA, while the two tranches of three-year notes were done by Citigroup Funding Inc., he said.

The $1.75 billion of 1.5% two-year notes priced at 99.93 to yield 1.535%, or Treasuries plus 41.4 basis points.

A $750 million tranche of two-year floating-rate notes priced at par to yield three-month Libor flat.
