By Angela McDaniels

Seattle, March 3 - Citigroup Funding Inc. plans to price an issue of Elks (equity-linked securities) linked to the American Depositary Receipts representing the ordinary participation certificates of Cemex SA de CV, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Elks will pay a coupon, to be determined at pricing.

At maturity, investors will receive par in cash unless Cemex ADRs trade below a trigger price during the life of the notes. If the trigger is hit, the payout will be a number Cemex ADRs equal to the exchange ratio.

The trigger price is expected to be about 85% of the initial ADR price, and the exchange ratio will equal 10 divided by the initial ADR price.

Citigroup will act as underwriter for the offering.
