PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return due June 27, 2012
Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM
PLUS offer leveraged exposure to a wide variety of assets and asset classes, including equities, commodities and currencies. These investments allow investors to capture enhanced returns relative to the asset’s actual positive performance. The leverage typically applies only for a certain range of price performance. In exchange for enhanced performance in that range, investors generally forgo performance above a specified maximum return. At maturity, an investor will receive an amount in cash that may be more or less than the principal amount based upon the closing value of the asset on the valuation date. The PLUS are not principal protected. The PLUS are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the PLUS are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company. All payments on the PLUS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.
For purposes of this pricing supplement, any reference to the $10 stated principal amount per PLUS in the accompanying PLUS product supplement should be understood to mean the $1,000 stated principal amount per PLUS offered in this specific offering of PLUS.

Key Investment Rationale
This approximately 13-month investment offers 150% leveraged upside on the positive performance of the underlying index, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,230 per PLUS (123% of the stated principal amount).
Investors can use the PLUS to leverage returns by a factor of 150% up to the maximum payment at maturity, while maintaining similar downside risk as a direct investment in the underlying index.
| Leveraged Performance | The PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns relative to a direct investment in the underlying index within a certain range of price performance. |
|---|---|
| Best-Case Scenario | The underlying index increases in value and, at maturity, the PLUS are redeemed for the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus 150% of the index percent increase, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,230 per PLUS (123% of the stated principal amount). |
| Worst-Case Scenario | The underlying index declines in value and, at maturity, the PLUS are redeemed for less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the decline. This amount will be less than the $1,000 stated principal amount and could be zero. |
Summary of Selected Key Risks (see page 9)
n No guaranteed return of principal.
n No interest payments.
n Historically, the value of the underlying index has been volatile.
n The appreciation potential of the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.
n Potential for a lower comparable yield.
n The market price of the PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including the value and volatility of the underlying index and the commodities futures contracts that underlie the underlying index, and you may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per PLUS if you try to sell your PLUS prior to maturity.
n The PLUS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the PLUS, and any actual or anticipated change to its credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the PLUS.
n Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the commodity futures contracts that underlie the underlying index.
n Investments, such as the PLUS, linked to the prices of commodities are subject to sharp fluctuations in commodity prices.
n An investment in the PLUS will expose you to concentrated risk to grain commodities.
n The PLUS will not be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
n Higher future prices of the commodities that underlie the underlying index relative to their current prices may adversely affect the value of the underlying index and the value of the PLUS.
n Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in commodity and related futures markets could adversely affect the price of the PLUS.
n Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the PLUS.
n The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited.
n The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.
n The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make determinations with respect to the PLUS.
n Hedging and trading activity by the calculation agent and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the PLUS.
n The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are unclear.

| General Information | |
|---|---|
| Listing: | The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange. |
| CUSIP: | 1730T0MF3 |
| ISIN: | US1730T0MF39 |
| Tax considerations: | Each holder, by purchasing a PLUS, agrees to treat it as a prepaid forward contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court might not agree with it. Assuming this treatment of the PLUS is respected and subject to the discussion in “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law: • A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the PLUS prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange. • Upon sale, exchange or settlement of a PLUS at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PLUS. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the PLUS for more than one year. Under current law, Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to amounts received on the sale, exchange or retirement of their PLUS. Special rules apply to Non-U.S. Holders who are present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year or whose gain on their PLUS is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. In 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may well include the PLUS. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the PLUS should read the discussion under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, including possible alternative treatments, the issues presented by the 2007 notice, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction. |
| Trustee: | The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor trustee under an indenture dated June 1, 2005) |
| Calculation agent: | Citigroup Global Markets Inc. |
| Use of proceeds and hedging: | The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the PLUS will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the PLUS through one or more of our affiliates. On, or prior, to the pricing date, we, through our affiliates or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the PLUS by taking positions in futures, swaps or options contracts on the underlying index or on the commodity contracts that underlie the underlying index or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could have increased the value of the underlying index, and, accordingly, potentially increased the initial index value, and, therefore, increased the value at which the underlying index must close on the valuation date before investors would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the stated principal amount of the PLUS. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. |
| ERISA and IRA purchase considerations: | Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, entities the assets of which are deemed to constitute the assets of such plans, governmental or other plans subject to laws substantially similar to ERISA and retirement accounts (including Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE plans, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities) are permitted to purchase the PLUS as long as either (A) (1) no Citigroup Global Markets affiliate or employee or affiliate’s employee is a fiduciary to such plan or |

| retirement account that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the PLUS or renders investment advice with respect to those assets, and (2) such plan or retirement account is paying no more than adequate consideration for the PLUS or (B) its acquisition and holding of the PLUS is not prohibited by any such provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition. However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the PLUS if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney or a family member and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of PLUS by the account, plan or annuity. You should refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in the PLUS product supplement for more information. | |
|---|---|
| Fees and selling concessions: | Citigroup Global Markets, an affiliate of Citigroup Funding and the underwriter of the sale of the PLUS, will receive an underwriting fee of up to $20.00 from Citigroup Funding for each PLUS sold in this offering. The actual per PLUS underwriting fee will be equal to the selling concession provided to selected dealers, as described in the next sentence. Citigroup Global Markets will pay selected dealers affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets, including its affiliate Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, and their financial advisors collectively a selling concession of $20.00, subject to reduction for volume purchase discounts, for each $1,000 PLUS they sell, while selected dealers not affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets will receive a selling concession of up to $20.00, subject to reduction for volume purchase discounts, for each $1,000 PLUS they sell. See “Syndicate Information” below. Additionally, it is possible that Citigroup Global Markets and its affiliates may profit from expected hedging activity related to this offering, even if the value of the PLUS declines. You should refer to “Risk Factors” below and “Risk Factors” and “Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” in the PLUS product supplement for more information. |
| Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution; conflicts of interest: | Citigroup Global Markets is an affiliate of Citigroup Funding. Accordingly, the offering of the PLUS will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in Rule 5121 of the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Client accounts over which Citigroup Inc., its subsidiaries or affiliates of its subsidiaries have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the PLUS, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the client. |
| Contact: | Morgan Stanley Smith Barney clients may contact their local Morgan Stanley Smith Barney branch office or its principal executive offices at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036 (telephone number (866) 477-4776). All other clients may contact their local brokerage representative. Third-party distributors may contact Citi Structured Investment Sales at (212) 723-7005. |

How PLUS Work
Payoff Diagram
The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the PLUS for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing value of the underlying index. The graph is based on the following terms:
| Stated principal amount: | $1,000 |
|---|---|
| Leverage factor: | 150% |
| Maximum payment at maturity: | $1,230 per PLUS (123% of the stated principal amount) |
PLUS Payoff Diagram
How it works
n If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, investors will receive the $1,000 stated principal amount plus 150% of the appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the PLUS, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. In the payoff diagram, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a final index value of 115.33% of the initial index value. Based on the terms above:
· If the underlying index appreciates 5%, investors would receive a 7.5% return, or $1,075 per PLUS.
· If the underlying index appreciates 40%, investors will receive only the maximum payment at maturity of 123% of the stated principal amount, or $1,230 per PLUS.
n If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, investors will receive an amount that is less than or equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount, based on a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline in the underlying index.
· If the underlying index depreciates 10%, investors would lose 10% of their principal and receive only $900 per PLUS at maturity, or 90% of the stated principal amount.
· If the underlying index depreciates 50%, investors would lose 50% of their principal and receive only $500 per PLUS at maturity, or 50% of the stated principal amount.

Payment at Maturity
At maturity, investors will receive for each $1,000 stated principal amount of PLUS that they hold an amount in cash based upon the closing value of the underlying index on the valuation date, as determined as follows:
If the final index value is greater than the initial index value:
$1,000 + Leveraged Upside Payment;
In no event will the leveraged upside payment result in a payment at maturity greater than a maximum payment at maturity of $1,230 per PLUS (123% of the stated principal amount).
If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value:
($1,000 X Index Performance Factor)
Because the index performance factor will be less than or equal to 1.0, this payment will be less than or equal to $1,000 and could be zero. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the PLUS.

Risk Factors
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying PLUS product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the related prospectus supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the PLUS.
n PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of principal. The terms of the PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the PLUS do not pay interest and do not guarantee the return of any of the stated principal amount at maturity. If the final index value is less than the initial index value, the payout at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the value of the underlying index. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the PLUS, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire investment.
n Volatility of the underlying index. Historically, the value of the underlying index has been volatile. From January 3, 2006 to May 25, 2011, the closing value of the underlying index has been as low as 30.38 and as high as 80.54. The volatility of the closing value of the underlying index may result in your receiving at maturity an amount less than the stated principal amount of your investment in the PLUS.
n The appreciation potential of the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity. The appreciation potential of the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $1,230 per PLUS, or 123% of the stated principal amount. Although the leverage factor provides 150% exposure to any increase in the final index value over the initial index value, because the payment at maturity will be limited to 123% of the stated principal amount, any increase in the final index value over the initial index value by more than 15.33% of the initial index value will not increase the return on the PLUS.
n Potential for a lower comparable yield. The PLUS do not pay any periodic interest. As a result, if the final index value does not increase sufficiently from the initial index value, the effective yield on the PLUS will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.
n The market price of the PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase or sell the PLUS in the secondary market, including: the value and volatility of the underlying index, the price and volatility of the commodity contracts that underlie the underlying index, trends of supply and demand for the commodities underlying the underlying index, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events, interest and yield rates in the market, time remaining until the PLUS mature and any actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings or credit spreads of Citigroup Inc. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government intervention. The value of the underlying index may be, and has recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Historical Information” below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the PLUS if you try to sell your PLUS prior to maturity.
n The PLUS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., and any actual or anticipated changes to its credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the PLUS. Investors are dependent on the ability of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the PLUS, to pay all amounts due on the PLUS at maturity, and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. and to changes in the market’s view of Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. The PLUS are not guaranteed by any other entity. If Citigroup Inc. defaults on its obligations under the PLUS, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. Any decline, or anticipated decline, in Citigroup Inc.’s credit ratings or increase, or anticipated increase, in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Citigroup Inc.’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the PLUS.
n Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the futures contracts that underlie the underlying index.
n Investments linked to commodities are subject to sharp fluctuations in commodity prices. Investments, such as the PLUS, linked to the prices of commodities, are subject to sharp fluctuations in the prices of commodities and related contracts over short periods of time for a variety of factors, including: changes in supply and demand relationships; weather; climatic events; the occurrence of natural disasters; wars; political and civil upheavals; acts of terrorism; trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs; domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies; disease; pestilence; technological developments; changes in interest rates; and trading activities in commodities and related contracts. These factors may affect the value of the underlying index and the value of your PLUS in varying and potentially inconsistent ways. As a result of these or other factors, the value of the underlying index may be, and has recently been, highly volatile. See “Historical Information” below.
n An investment in the PLUS will expose you to concentrated risk to grain commodities. The S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return is composed entirely of grains futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI TM –ER, specifically on four

Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM
different grain commodities: corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat. An investment in the PLUS may therefore bear risks similar to a securities investment concentrated in a single underlying sector. Grains prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for and supply of grains, which are driven by global grains production, population growth and economic activity. In addition, prices for grains are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture (including grains) and energy, specifically, and fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Alternative uses for grains, such as energy sources or in manufacturing, also drive the prices for grains, and such alternative uses may be dependent on governmental action, such as subsidies or tariffs, and technological innovation. Extrinsic factors, such as natural disasters, pestilence, scientific developments, wars and political and civil upheavals, also affect grains prices. Substitution of other commodities for grains could also impact the price of grains and therefore the performance of the S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return. The price of grains futures has experienced severe price fluctuations in the recent past, and there can be no assurance that this price volatility will not continue in the future. See “S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return Overview” and “Information about the S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return” in this pricing supplement.
n The PLUS will not be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Unlike an investment in the PLUS, an investment in a collective investment vehicle that invests in futures contracts on behalf of its participants may be regulated as a commodity pool and its operator may be required to be registered with and regulated by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. Because the PLUS are not interests in a commodity pool, they will not be regulated by the CFTC as a commodity pool, we will not be registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator, and you will not benefit from the CFTC’s or any non-U.S. regulatory authority’s regulatory protections afforded to persons who trade in futures contracts or who invest in regulated commodity pools.
n Higher future prices of the commodities that underlie the underlying index relative to their current prices may adversely affect the value of the underlying index and the value of the PLUS. The underlying index is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. As the futures contracts that compose the underlying index approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in January may specify an February expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in February is replaced by a contract for delivery in March. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the February contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the March contract, thereby creating a “roll yield.” However, grains and certain other commodities included in the S&P GSCI TM –ER may trade in “contango” markets at any given time. Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. The presence of contango and absence of backwardation in the grains markets would result in negative “roll yields,” which would adversely affect the value of the underlying index and, accordingly, the value of the PLUS.
n Suspensions or disruptions of market trading in commodity and related futures markets could adversely affect the value of the PLUS. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a different price. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could adversely affect the value of the underlying index and, therefore, the value of the PLUS.
n Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the PLUS. The publisher of the underlying index may substitute the commodity contracts constituting the underlying index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the underlying index. The publisher of the underlying index may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
n The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the PLUS. Citigroup Global Markets may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the PLUS. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the PLUS easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets is willing to transact. If, at any time, Citigroup Global Markets were not to make a market in the PLUS, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the PLUS. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your PLUS to maturity.

n The inclusion of underwriting fees and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets is willing to purchase the PLUS in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, underwriting fees paid with respect to the PLUS, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the PLUS. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our affiliates may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices may be lower than the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions at the time of the secondary market transaction. Our affiliates may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the PLUS or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by Citigroup Global Markets, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Can You Tell Me More About the Effect of Citigroup Funding’s Hedging Activity?” in the PLUS product supplement.
n The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make determinations with respect to the PLUS. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the calculation agent, is an affiliate of ours. As calculation agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has determined the initial index value, will determine the final index value and the index percent increase or index performance factor, as applicable, and will calculate the amount of cash, if any, you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events and the selection of a successor index or calculation of the final index value in the event of discontinuance of the underlying index, may adversely affect the payout to you at maturity.
n Hedging and trading activity by the calculation agent and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the PLUS. One or more of our affiliates have hedged our obligations under the PLUS and have carried out hedging activities related to the PLUS (and to other instruments linked to the underlying index), including trading in futures, swaps and options contracts on the underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the underlying index. Our affiliates also trade in the futures contracts that underlie the underlying index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general commodity trading, proprietary trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have potentially increased the initial index value and, therefore, could have increased the value at which the underlying index must close on the valuation date before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the PLUS. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the PLUS, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the value of the underlying index on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash, if any, an investor will receive at maturity.
n The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are unclear. There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the PLUS, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the PLUS are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the PLUS as prepaid forward contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the PLUS, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the PLUS might be affected materially and adversely. As described above under “Tax considerations,” in 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may well include the PLUS. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the PLUS should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Information about the S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return
General. The S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI TM –ER. It represents only the grains components of the S&P GSCI TM –ER, consisting of corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat. The distinction between Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat is that they are each futures contracts for wheat which are traded on the Chicago Board of Trade and the Kansas City Board of Trade, respectively.
The S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return is composed entirely of futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI TM –ER, on four different grain commodities; corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat. Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat are each wheat futures contracts with the distinction being that they are traded on the Chicago Board of Trade and the Kansas City Board of Trade respectively. Grain prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for and supply of grain, which are driven by global grain production, population growth and economic activity. In addition, prices for grain are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture, including grains, and energy specifically and fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Alternative uses for grains such as energy sources or in manufacturing also drive the prices for grains. Such alternative uses may be dependent on governmental action, such as subsidies or tariffs and technological innovation. Extrinsic factors also affect grain prices such as natural disasters, pestilence, scientific developments, wars and political and civil upheavals. Substitution of other commodities for grain could also impact the price of grain and therefore the performance of the S&P GSCI TM Grains Index–Excess Return.
The S&P GSCI TM –ER. The S&P GSCI TM –ER is a world production-weighted index that is designed to reflect the relative significance of each of the underlying commodities in the world economy. The S&P GSCI TM –ER represents the return of a portfolio of commodity futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI TM , the composition of which, on any given day, reflects the contract production weight and “roll weights” of the contracts included in the S&P GSCI TM . The S&P GSCI TM is an index on a production-weighted basket of principal non-financial commodities (i.e., physical commodities) that satisfy specified criteria. The S&P GSCI TM is designed to be a measure of the performance over time of the markets for these commodities. The only commodities represented in the S&P GSCI TM are those physical commodities on which active and liquid contracts are traded on trading facilities in major industrialized countries. The commodities included in the S&P GSCI TM are weighted, on a production basis, to reflect the relative significance (in the view of S&P, in consultation with the Index Advisory Panel, as described below) of such commodities to the world economy. The fluctuations in the value of the S&P GSCI TM are intended generally to correlate with changes in the prices of such physical commodities in global markets. The S&P GSCI TM has been normalized such that its hypothetical level on January 2, 1970 was 100. Futures contracts on the S&P GSCI TM , and options on such futures contracts, are currently listed for trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Validity of the PLUS
In the opinion of Douglas C. Turnbull, Associate General Counsel - Capital Markets and Corporate Reporting of the Guarantor and counsel to the Company, when the PLUS offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by the Company and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such PLUS and related guarantee will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
This opinion is given as of the date of this pricing supplement and is limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and such applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution). In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions as to legal capacity, genuineness of signatures and authenticity of documents as stated in the opinion dated May 11, 2011, which has been filed as exhibit number 5(a) to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-172554).
Additional Considerations
If no closing value of the underlying index is available on the valuation date, the calculation agent may determine the final index value in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PLUS product supplement. In addition, if the underlying index is discontinued, the calculation agent may determine the final index value by reference to a successor index or, if no successor index is available, in accordance with the procedures last used to calculate the underlying index prior to any such discontinuance. You should refer to the section “Description of the Notes—Discontinuance of an Underlying Index” and
“—Alteration of Method of Calculation of an Underlying Index” in the PLUS product supplement for more information.
In case of default in payment at maturity of the PLUS, the PLUS will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the PLUS in accordance with the terms of the PLUS, from and after the maturity date through the date when payment of the unpaid amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rate of 1.80% per annum on the unpaid amount due.
