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 U.S. $406 million 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. Since 2013, Citigroup redeemed or retired U.S. $22.7 billion of securities, excluding exchanged securities, of which U.S. $0.5 billion was redeemed or retired in 2015, reducing Citigroup’s 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 final Settlement Date (the “Final Settlement Date”) is expected to occur on March 12, 2015 for all series of Notes.

As the Expiration Date for the Offers was March 9, 2015, the deadline for tendering Notes pursuant to the Offers has now passed. On the Early Tender Date, Citigroup accepted an aggregate principal amount of U.S. $302.7 million of the 6.125% Subordinated Notes due 2036 and U.S. $73.3 million of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2038, equal to the relevant Maximum Series Tender Cap of each series of such Notes as previously upsized by Citigroup, and purchased such Notes on the Early Settlement Date. The Holders of such Notes that validly tendered their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date received the applicable Total Consideration, inclusive of the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. Because the aggregate principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date equaled the upsized Maximum Series Tender Cap for each series of Notes, Citigroup did not accept for purchase any additional such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. Any of the 6.125% Subordinated Notes due 2036 and 6.875% Senior Notes due 2038 that were tendered after the Early Tender Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date will be returned to the Holders of such Notes.

On the Early Tender Date, Citigroup accepted an aggregate principal amount of U.S. $30.1 million of the 5.875% Subordinated Notes due 2033 and purchased such Notes on the Early Settlement Date. Because the aggregate principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date did not exceed the applicable Maximum Series Tender Cap, Citigroup has accepted all such Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date. Holders of these Notes are entitled to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration which is equal to the Total Consideration applicable to such Notes less the Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date.

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes that were validly tendered and accepted for purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date.

The Offers were made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated February 9, 2015 (as amended or supplemented through the Expiration Date, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letter of transmittal (as amended or supplemented through the Expiration Date, the “Letter 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.

Global Bondholder Services Corporation was retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the Notes.
