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

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 tables below (the "Notes").

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. Since the beginning of 2012, Citigroup has retired approximately US$23.6 billion of senior debt, subordinated debt, preferred and trust preferred securities, reducing Citigroup's overall funding costs and efficiently deploying its ample liquidity. 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, as well as overall market conditions.

As the Expiration Date for the Offers was June 13, 2013, 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 June 18, 2013 for all series of Notes.

Pursuant to the Offers, Citigroup has accepted for purchase the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes set forth in the table below. The table also sets forth, for each series of Notes, the aggregate principal amount that was validly tendered and, in the case of the Waterfall Tender Offers, the applicable Acceptance Priority Level.

Citigroup has increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes that it will accept for purchase (the "Overall Tender Cap") pursuant to the Offers from US$650,000,000 to US$655,000,000, determined based on U.S. dollar exchange rates as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2013. As a result, Citigroup has accepted for purchase all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers.

The Offers were made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated May 16, 2013 (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 lead dealer manager for the Offers. Global Bondholder Services Corporation was retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the U.S. Dollar Notes and EUR Notes. Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc. was retained to serve as the depositary and information agent with respect to the CAD Notes.

The Offer to Purchase and related Letters of Transmittal were first distributed to holders of Notes on May 16, 2013.

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 Letters 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. This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase and, where applicable, the related Letters of Transmittal.
