By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 28 - Citigroup Inc. priced $2.08 million of 0% contingent absolute return autocallable optimization securities due April 8, 2015 linked to the American Depositary Shares representing the class A ordinary shares of Baidu Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus an annualized call premium of 15.3% if Baidu ADSs close at or above the initial ADS price on any quarterly observation date.
