Based on the applicable exchange rate as of 2:00 p.m., New York City
time on June 23, 2011.
The U.S. dollar denominated Floating Rate Notes due 2012 that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted on a pro rata basis, rounded downward to the nearest authorized denomination for such Notes. Due to the fact that Notes of a higher Acceptance Priority Level (lower numeric value) were tendered in excess of the Overall Tender Cap, none of the Swiss franc denominated 2.750% Notes due 2012 will be accepted for purchase.
Citi’s affiliate Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as the dealer manager for the Offers. Global Bondholder Services Corporation served as the depositary and information agent with respect to the Notes denominated in U.S. dollars. Lucid Issuer Services Limited served as tender agent and information agent with respect to Notes that are both denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and that are held at Euroclear or Clearstream.
