New Issue: Citigroup prices $28.28 million principal-protected trust certificates linked to S&P 500

By E. Janene Geiss

Philadelphia, Sept. 26 - Citigroup Funding Inc. priced $28.28 million of zero-coupon principal-protected trust certificates due Oct. 10, 2013 linked to the S&P 500 index through the Safety First Trust Series 2008-4, according to a 424B filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 90% of any index gain. Investors will receive at least par.

Each certificate is exchangeable into one security and one warrant.

The equity index warrants will be automatically exercised at maturity. The warrants will pay nothing if the index is at least its initial level. Otherwise, the warrants will pay par times the absolute value of the decline.

If the index increases, the securities issued upon exchange will pay $10 plus 90% of the gain at maturity. If the index decreases, the securities will pay $10 minus the decline.

The certificates have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "AHY."

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the underwriter.
