Callable Notes with Contingent Coupon Based on the Performance of the S&P 500 ® Index due September , 2026

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not provide for the regular payment of interest. From and including the pricing date, interest will accrue at an annual rate of 7.00%, but only for each index business day during the accrual periods described below on which the closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is greater than the barrier level of 900. If the closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than or equal to the barrier level for an entire accrual period, then no interest will accrue on the notes for that accrual period and you will not receive any interest payment on the related interest payment date. In addition, we will have the right to redeem the notes on any interest payment date, beginning on September , 2013. The notes are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company. All payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.

Callable Notes with Contingent Coupon Based on the Performance of the S&P 500 ® Index due September , 2026

Investment Overview

The Callable Notes with Contingent Coupon Based on the Performance of the S&P 500 ® Index due September , 2026 (the “notes”) do not provide for the regular payment of interest. From and including the pricing date, interest will accrue at an annual rate of 7.00%, but only for each index business day during the accrual periods described below on which the closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index (which we also refer to as the “underlying index”) is greater than 900 (the “barrier level”). If the closing value of the underlying index is less than or equal to the barrier level for an entire accrual period, then no interest will accrue on the notes for that accrual period and you will not receive any interest payment on the related interest payment date. Additionally, if the closing value of the underlying index is less than or equal to the barrier level on any elapsed day during a particular accrual period, you will not receive the entire contingent coupon of 7.00% per annum for that accrual period. We refer to the coupon on the notes as contingent because there is no assurance that you will receive a coupon payment on any interest payment date, or, if you do receive a coupon, there can be no assurance that it will be the full 7.00% per annum. Beginning on September , 2013, we will have the right to redeem all of the notes on any interest payment date and pay to you 100% of the stated principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. At maturity, if the notes have not previously been redeemed, you will receive an amount equal to the stated principal amount for each note you hold and accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Maturity: Approximately 15 years
Interest rate: 7.00% per annum, multiplied by the number of accrual days and divided by the number of elapsed days , paid quarterly on each interest payment date. An "accrual day" is an index business day during the relevant accrual period on which the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level. As a result, interest will accrue only for each index business day during the accrual period on which the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level.

S&P 500 ® Index Overview

The S&P 500 ® Index, which is calculated, maintained and published by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, consists of 500 component stocks selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. The calculation of the S&P 500 ® Index is based on the relative value of the float adjusted aggregate market capitalization of the 500 component companies as of a particular time as compared to the aggregate average market capitalization of the 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.

Callable Notes with Contingent Coupon Based on the Performance of the S&P 500 ® Index due September , 2026

Key Investment Rationale

The notes do not provide for the regular payment of interest. From and including the pricing date, interest will accrue at an annual rate of 7.00%, but only for each index business day during the accrual period on which the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level. The notes have been designed for investors who:

n believe the closing value of the underlying index will be consistently greater than the barrier level;

n are willing to forgo market floating interest rates; and

n accept the risk of receiving no interest payments or below-market interest rates during the life of the notes in exchange for an opportunity to earn above-market interest rates (subject to the issuer’s right to call the notes) if the closing value of the underlying index is consistently greater than the barrier level.

Scenario 1 The notes are not redeemed prior to maturity and the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level on every index business day during the term of the notes. Investors receive the full contingent coupon applicable to each accrual period. This scenario would result in a 7.00% average annualized return (calculated on a simple interest basis) over the 15-year term of the notes.
Scenario 2 The closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level on every index business day until September , 2013, when we exercise our right to redeem the notes. Investors receive the full contingent coupon applicable to each accrual period until redemption. This scenario would result in a 7.00% average annualized return (calculated on a simple interest basis) over the 2-year term of the notes.
Scenario 3 The closing value of the underlying index fluctuates widely during the first two years following issuance of the notes and is greater than the barrier level on half of the index business days during each applicable accrual period. We then exercise our right to redeem the notes on September , 2013. Investors receive the contingent coupon on each interest payment date multiplied by one-half. This scenario would result in a 3.50% average annualized return (calculated on a simple interest basis) over the 2-year term of the notes.
Scenario 4 (Worst Case Scenario) The notes are not redeemed prior to maturity and the closing value of the underlying index is less than or equal to the barrier level on every index business day during the term of the notes. Investors do not receive any contingent coupon. Because the notes are not redeemed prior to maturity, investors will be unable to reinvest the principal amount until the maturity date. This scenario would result in a 0.00% average annualized return (calculated on a simple interest basis) over the 15-year term of the notes.

Summary of Selected Key Risks (see page 8)

n The notes do not provide for regular interest payments.

n If there are no index business days during any accrual period on which the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level, we will not pay any interest on the notes for that accrual period and the market value of the notes may decrease significantly.

n The notes are subject to our redemption right.

n The closing value of the underlying index will affect our decision to call the notes.

n The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including the value, volatility and dividend yield of the underlying index, and you may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount per note if you try to sell your notes prior to maturity.

n The notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the notes, and any actual or anticipated change to its credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes.

n Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the stocks that constitute the underlying index.

n Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the notes.

n You will have no rights against the underlying index publisher.

n The notes 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 notes.

n Hedging and trading activity by the calculation agent and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the notes.

Callable Notes with Contingent Coupon Based on the Performance of the S&P 500 ® Index due September , 2026

General Information
Listing : The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP: 1730T0NV7
ISIN: US1730T0NV79
Tax considerations: We believe the notes should be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and each holder, by purchasing the notes, agrees to this treatment. Under this treatment, stated interest on the notes will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received (in accordance with the holder’s method of tax accounting). Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and such holder’s tax basis in such note. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Under current law, non-U.S. holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to interest paid and amounts received on the sale, exchange or retirement of the notes, provided they fulfill certain certification requirements. Special rules apply to non-U.S. investors who are present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year or whose income or gain on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the notes should read the discussion under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for more information.
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor trustee under an indenture dated June 1, 2005)
Calculation agent: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup Global Markets”)
Use of proceeds and hedging: The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. On, or prior to, the pricing date, we, through our affiliates or others, will hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the notes by taking positions in swaps, options or futures contracts on the underlying index or on the stocks that constitute the underlying index, in the stocks that constitute the underlying index and in any other securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes could adversely affect the closing value of the underlying index on any elapsed day and, accordingly, whether an elapsed day counts as an accrual day and we pay a contingent quarterly coupon on the notes. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
ERISA and IRA 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 notes as long as either (A) (1) no Citigroup Global Markets affiliate or 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 notes 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 notes or (B) its acquisition and holding of the notes 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 notes 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 notes by the account, plan or annuity. You should refer to the section “ERISA Matters” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for more information.

How Contingent Coupon Notes Work

Hypothetical Payments on the Contingent Coupon Notes

The table below presents examples of the hypothetical contingent quarterly coupons that would be payable on the notes for any quarter based on the number of elapsed days and accrual days in the relevant accrual period.

For illustrative purposes, the table assumes an accrual period that contains 60 elapsed days. The example below is for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were made.

The actual interest payments will depend on the actual number of elapsed days during the relevant accrual period and the actual closing value of the underlying index on each elapsed day. The applicable contingent quarterly coupon for each accrual period will be determined on a per-annum basis but will apply only to that accrual period.

Contingent Quarterly Coupon: 7.00% per annum x (Accrual Days / Elapsed Days)
Barrier Level: 900
Hypothetical Number of Days the Closing Value of the Underlying Index Is Greater Than the Barrier Level ( i.e. , Accrual Days) during an Accrual Period Hypothetical Contingent Quarterly Coupon Rate (per Annum) Hypothetical Quarterly Interest Payment per $1,000
0 0.00% $0.00
5 0.58% $1.46
10 1.17% $2.92
15 1.75% $4.38
20 2.33% $5.83
25 2.92% $7.29
30 3.50% $8.75
35 4.08% $10.21
40 4.67% $11.67
45 5.25% $13.13

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the notes. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the related prospectus supplement. We also urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

n The notes do not provide for regular interest payments. The terms of the notes differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not provide for the regular payment of interest. From and including the pricing date, interest will accrue at an annual rate of 7.00%, but only for each index business day during the accrual periods on which the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level. If the closing value of the underlying index is less than or equal to the barrier level for an entire accrual period, then no interest will accrue on the notes and you will not receive any interest payment on the related interest payment date. Additionally, if the closing value of the underlying index is less than or equal to the barrier level on any elapsed day during a particular accrual period, you will not receive the entire contingent coupon of 7.00% per annum for the related accrual period. Thus, the notes are not a suitable investment for investors who require regular fixed income payments, since the interest payments are variable and may be zero. If you do not earn sufficient contingent coupons over the term of the notes, the overall return on the notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity. See “How Contingent Coupon Notes Work.”

n T he notes are subject to our redemption right. The term of the notes, and thus your opportunity to earn an above-market coupon if the closing value of the underlying index is consistently greater than the barrier level on elapsed days, may be limited by our right to redeem the notes at our option on any interest payment date, beginning September , 2013. The term of your investment in the notes may be limited to as short as two years. If the notes are redeemed prior to maturity, you may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.

n The closing value of the underlying index will affect our decision to call the notes . Beginning on September , 2013, it is likely that we will call the notes prior to their maturity if (i) the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level and (ii) the quarterly interest payment on the notes is at a rate greater than that which would be payable on a conventional, fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity. If we call the notes, you may not be able to invest in other securities with a similar yield and level of risk.

n The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the notes in the secondary market and the price at which Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase or sell the notes in the secondary market, including: the value, volatility and dividend yield of the underlying index, interest and yield rates generally, time remaining to maturity of the notes, geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events and any actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings or credit spreads of Citigroup Inc. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount of the notes if you try to sell your notes prior to maturity.

You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying index based on its historical performance. The closing value of the underlying index may decrease and be less than or equal to the barrier level on every elapsed day so that you will receive no return on your investment over the entire 15-year term of the notes. There can be no assurance that the closing value of the underlying index will be higher than the barrier level on any elapsed day so that you will receive a coupon payment on the notes for the applicable accrual period. See “Historical Information.”

n The notes 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 notes. Investors are dependent on the ability of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the notes, to pay all amounts due on the notes, 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 notes are not guaranteed by any other entity. If Citigroup Inc. defaults on its obligations under the notes, 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 notes.

n Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the stocks that constitute the underlying index. Investors in the notes will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute the underlying index.

Additionally, each quarterly interest payment will depend on a fixed rate multiplied by the number of index business days in a given accrual period where the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level and divided by the total number of index business days in such accrual period. Therefore, each quarterly interest payment will depend only on whether the closing value of the underlying index is greater than the barrier level and not on the actual return of the

September 2011 Page 8

underlying index or any other performance measure. Accordingly, the notes are not a suitable investment for investors who are looking to receive returns that directly track the performance of the underlying index.

n Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the notes. The publisher of the underlying index may add, delete or substitute the stocks that constitute 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 You will have no rights against the underlying index publisher. You will have no rights against the underlying index publisher, even though the amount you receive on an interest payment date will depend in part upon the closing value of the underlying index. The underlying index publisher is not in any way involved in this offering and has no obligations relating to the notes or the holders of the notes.

n The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and secondary trading may be limited. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the notes. Citigroup Global Markets may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes 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 notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your notes 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 notes in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price will include, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, underwriting fees paid with respect to the notes, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. 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 notes 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.

n The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make determinations with respect to the notes. Citigroup Global Markets, the calculation agent, is an affiliate of ours. As calculation agent, Citigroup Global Markets will determine the number of accrual days and the payment that you will receive on each interest payment date, upon early redemption or at maturity. Determinations made by Citigroup Global Markets in its capacity as calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, the selection of a successor index or calculation of the closing value in the event of the unavailability or discontinuance of the underlying index or the occurrence of a market disruption event, 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 notes. One or more of our affiliates expect to hedge our obligations under the notes and will carry out hedging activities related to the notes (and to other instruments linked to the underlying index or the stocks that constitute the underlying index), including trading in stocks that constitute the underlying index, swaps, futures and options contracts on the underlying index as well as in other instruments related to the underlying index and the stocks that constitute the underlying index. Our affiliates also trade in the stocks that constitute the underlying index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index and the stocks that constitute the underlying index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, proprietary trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities during the term of the notes could adversely affect the closing value of the underlying index on any elapsed day and, accordingly, whether an elapsed day is also an accrual day and we pay a contingent quarterly coupon on the notes.

Information about the S&P 500 ® Index

General. Unless otherwise stated, we have derived all information regarding the S&P 500 ® Index provided in this offering summary, including, without limitation, its composition, method of calculation and changes in components, from publicly available sources. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”). S&P is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of, the S&P 500 ® Index at any time. None of Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding, Citigroup Global Markets or the trustee assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the S&P 500 ® Index.

The S&P 500 ® Index is published by S&P and is intended to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. S&P chooses companies for inclusion with an aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings. The calculation of the value is based on the relative aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies at a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. The weighting and composition of the index components are updated periodically so that the S&P 500 ® Index reflects the performance of the U.S. equity markets.

As of September 7, 2011, the aggregate market value of the 500 companies included in the S&P 500 ® Index represented approximately 75% of the U.S. equities market. S&P chooses companies for inclusion in the S&P 500 ® Index with the aim of achieving a distribution by broad industry groupings that approximates the distribution of these groupings in the common stock composition of the NYSE, which S&P uses as an assumed model for the composition of the total market. Relevant criteria employed by S&P include the viability of the particular company, the extent to which that company represents the industry group to which it is assigned, the extent to which the market price of that company’s common stock is generally responsive to changes in the affairs of the respective industry and the market value and trading activity of the common stock of that company.

As of September 7, 2011, the 500 companies included in the S&P 500 ® Index were divided into 10 Global Industry Classification Sectors. The Global Industry Classification Sectors included (with the percentage of companies currently included in such sectors indicated in parentheses): Consumer Discretionary (10.66%), Consumer Staples (11.47%), Energy (12.48%), Financials (13.98%), Health Care (12.00%), Industrials (10.39%), Information Technology (18.71%), Materials (3.56%), Telecommunication Services (3.07%) and Utilities (3.69%). S&P may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the S&P 500 ® Index to achieve the objectives stated above.

THE S&P 500 ® INDEX DOES NOT REFLECT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS ON THE STOCKS UNDERLYING IT.

Computation of the S&P 500 ® Index. On March 21, 2005, S&P began to calculate the S&P 500 ® Index based on a half float-adjusted formula, and on September 16, 2005, S&P completed the full float adjustment of the S&P 500 ® Index. S&P’s criteria for selecting stocks for the S&P 500 ® Index were not changed by the shift to float adjustment. However, the adjustment affects each company’s weight in the S&P 500 ® Index (i.e., its market value).

Under float adjustment, the share counts used in calculating the S&P 500 ® Index reflect only those shares that are available to investors and not all of a company’s outstanding shares. S&P defines three groups of shareholders whose holdings are subject to float adjustment:

¡ holdings by other publicly traded corporations, venture capital firms, private equity firms, strategic partners, or leveraged buyout groups;

¡ holdings by governmental entities, including all levels of government in the United States or foreign countries; and

¡ holdings by current or former officers and directors of the company, founders of the company, or family trusts of officers, directors, or founders, as well as holdings of trusts, foundations, pension funds, employee stock ownership plans, or other investment vehicles associated with and controlled by the company.

However, treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. In cases where holdings in a group exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of a company, the holdings of that group will be excluded from the float-adjusted count of shares to be used in the S&P 500 ® Index calculation. Mutual funds, investment advisory firms, pension funds, or foundations not associated with the company and investment funds in insurance companies, shares of a United States company traded in Canada as “exchangeable shares,” shares that trust beneficiaries may buy or sell without difficulty or significant additional expense beyond typical brokerage fees, and, if a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class if such shares are convertible by shareholders without undue delay and cost, are also part of the float.

For each stock, an investable weight factor (“IWF”) is calculated by dividing the available float shares, defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held in one or more of the three groups listed above where the group holdings exceed 10% of the outstanding shares, by the total shares outstanding. The float-adjusted index will then be calculated by dividing the sum of the IWF multiplied by both the price and the total shares outstanding for each stock by the index divisor. For companies with

September 2011 Page 10

multiple classes of stock, S&P will calculate the weighted average IWF for each stock using the proportion of the total company market capitalization of each share class as weights.

The S&P 500 ® Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology: the level of the S&P 500 ® Index reflects the total market value of all S&P 500 ® component stocks relative to the S&P 500 ® Index’s base period of 1941-43 (the “base period”).

An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and track over time.

The actual total market value of the S&P 500 ® component stocks during the base period has been set equal to an indexed value of 10. This is often indicated by the notation 1941-43=10. In practice, the daily calculation of the S&P 500 ® Index is computed by dividing the total market value of the S&P 500 ® component stocks by a number called the index divisor. By itself, the index divisor is an arbitrary number. However, in the context of the calculation of the S&P 500 ® Index, it is the only link to the original base period level of the S&P 500 ® Index.

The index divisor keeps the S&P 500 ® Index comparable over time and is the manipulation point for all adjustments to the S&P 500 ® Index (“index maintenance”).

Index maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spinoffs.

To prevent the level of the S&P 500 ® Index from changing due to corporate actions, all corporate actions which affect the total market value of the S&P 500 ® Index require an index divisor adjustment. By adjusting the index divisor for the change in total market value, the level of the S&P 500 ® Index remains constant. This helps maintain the level of the S&P 500 ® Index as an accurate barometer of stock market performance and ensures that the movement of the S&P 500 ® Index does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the S&P 500 ® Index. All index divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the S&P 500 ® Index and do not require index divisor adjustments.

Additional Considerations

As more fully described in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, if no closing value is available or there is a market disruption event on any day that would have been or is an index business day, the calculation agent may determine the closing value in accordance with the procedures set forth in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement or may exclude such day from being an index business day. In addition, if the underlying index is discontinued, the calculation agent may determine the closing 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 the S&P 500 ® Index” and “—Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for more information.

In case of default in payment of the notes, the notes will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the notes in accordance with the terms of the notes, 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 % per annum on the unpaid amount due.
