New Issue: Citigroup sells $2 million market-linked buffered notes tied to Russell

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 28 – Citigroup Inc. priced $2 million of 0% market-linked notes due June 28, 2019 linked to the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index gains by more than 4%, the payout at maturity will be par plus 30% of the return, up to a cap of $1,060 per $1,000 principal amount.

If the index gains by up to 4% or falls by no more than 10%, the payout will be par.

Investors will be exposed to any losses beyond 10%.

Also, if a barrier event occurs – when the index finishes below the 550 barrier level – the “near-term risk amount will equal the sum of the negative interim risk amounts, if any,” the filing noted.

The interim risk amount for each interim valuation date will depend on whether the index closing level on that interim valuation date is greater than or less than the interim strike level, the filing said.

If the interim risk amount is negative on both interim valuation dates, then the near-term risk amount will be negative and the payment at maturity will be less than par.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the underwriter.
