Citigroup : Announces Upsizing of Offers to Purchase Specified Series of Outstanding Notes

Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) announced today that it has increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of specified series of notes (the “Notes”) that it will accept (each, a “Maximum Series Tender Cap”) pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offers (each, an “Offer” and, collectively, the “Offers”), as set forth in the table below.

These Offers 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 approximately 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.

The previously announced Early Tender Date for the 4.750% Notes due 2015, 4.700% Notes due 2015 and 2.250% Notes due 2015 has been extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2014, which is the current Expiration Date for the Offers. Holders of these Notes that are validly tendered prior to such time pursuant to the Offers and accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium. The Early Tender Date for the remaining series of Notes (the "Unextended Series") has now passed (such date being 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2013). Holders of Notes of the Unextended Series that were validly tendered prior to such time pursuant to the Offers and are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium. Holders of Notes of the Unextended Series that are validly tendered after such time pursuant to the Offers and accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which equals the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium.

The Expiration Date for the Offers continues to be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2014 (unless extended or earlier terminated). The Settlement Date is expected to occur promptly thereafter on June 19, 2014. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date, for such Notes.

The following table sets forth the Notes that are subject to the Offers as well as the aggregate principal amounts of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2013 and the revised Maximum Series Tender Cap for each of the 2.250% Notes due 2015, the 5.875% Notes due 2037 and the 6.875% Notes due 2038. The Maximum Series Tender Cap for the 4.750% Notes due 2015, 4.700% Notes due 2015, 5.875% Subordinated Notes due 2033 and 5.850% Notes due 2034 remains unchanged.

The Offers are being made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated May 19, 2014 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letters of transmittal (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, 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.

The Total Consideration with respect to each series of Notes will be equal to the price, determined in accordance with standard market practice, as described in the Offer to Purchase, that equates to a yield to maturity equal to the applicable fixed spread specified for each such series of Notes over the applicable reference yield, which shall be based on the bid-side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury security or Reference Canadian Government security, as the case may be, as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 3, 2014, (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the "Price Determination Date"), using a fixed spread pricing formula, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, Citigroup is offering to purchase any and all CAD Notes of each series set forth in the table above validly tendered pursuant to the Offers.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, Citigroup is offering to purchase an aggregate principal amount of each series of U.S. Dollar Notes up to the applicable Maximum Series Tender Cap set forth in the table above. If the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Dollar Notes of any series validly tendered exceeds the Maximum Series Tender Cap for such series, then Citigroup will accept tendered U.S. Dollar Notes of such series on a pro rata basis as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Aside from the extended Early Tender Date with respect to certain series of Notes and the increase in the Maximum Series Tender Cap for certain series of Notes, all other terms and conditions of the Offers remain unchanged.

The Withdrawal Date (June 2, 2014) for the Offers has now passed. Notes already tendered pursuant to the Offers may no longer be withdrawn, and any other Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Date may not be withdrawn.

The obligation of Citigroup to accept for purchase, and to pay the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as the case may be, for Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and, in the case of U.S. dollar denominated Notes, to potential proration. Citigroup reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any one or more of the conditions at any time.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation has been retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the U.S. Dollar Notes. Kingsdale Shareholder Services has been retained to serve as the information agent with respect to the CAD Notes.
