New York, Sept. 21 - Citigroup Global Markets Inc. said it accepted tenders from holders of 6,725, or 20.38%, of the 33,000 preferred shares issued by Pro Rata Funding Ltd.

The offer ended at 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 20 after having been extended from Sept. 16. It was previously extended to Sept. 15 from Sept. 14. Withdrawal rights expired at 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 14.

Citigroup was offering $100 per preferred.
