Citigroup Announces Expiration and Final Tender Results of Offers to Purchase Three Series of Outstanding Notes

Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) announced today the expiration and final tender results of its previously announced cash tender offers (each, an “Offer” and, collectively, the “Offers”) with respect to each series of notes listed in the table below (the “Notes”).

These Offers, in which Notes totaling approximately $297,990,000, are being accepted, are consistent with Citigroup’s liability management strategy, and reflect its ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of its funding and capital structure. In 2013, Citigroup redeemed U.S. $12 billion of securities reducing its overall funding costs. Citigroup will continue to consider opportunities to redeem or repurchase securities, based on several factors, including without limitation, the economic value, potential impact on Citigroup's net interest margin and borrowing costs, the overall remaining tenor of Citigroup's debt portfolio, capital impact, as well as overall market conditions.

As the Expiration Date for the Offers was March 14, 2014, the deadline for tendering Notes pursuant to the Offers has now passed. Holders of Notes that were validly tendered pursuant to the Offers as of the Early Tender Date and are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date for such Notes. Holders of Notes that were validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration which is equal to the Total Consideration applicable to that series of Notes less the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date for such Notes. The Settlement Date is expected to occur on March 19, 2014 for all series of Notes.

Citigroup has elected to accept for purchase all Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers as set forth in the table below. The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes that was validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date and the aggregate principal amount of each such series that was accepted for purchase.

The Offers were made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated February 14, 2014 (as amended or supplemented through the Expiration Date, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letters of transmittal (as amended or supplemented through the Expiration Date, the “Letters of Transmittal”) which set forth in more detail the terms and conditions of the Offers. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Citigroup retained its affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., to serve as the sole dealer manager for the Offers. Global Bondholder Services Corporation was retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the Notes.

The Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal were first distributed to holders of Notes on February 14, 2014 and published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu) on February 14, 2014. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal may also be obtained at no charge from Global Bondholder Services Corporation.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of these Notes nor is it a solicitation for acceptance of any of the Offers. Citigroup made the Offers only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Offers are not being made to (nor will tenders of Notes be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
