Yield Income Enhanced Deferred Securities 3 (YIELDS3) [ASX code : YLDSO3]

YIELDS3 is a six year A$ denominated financial product issued by Citigroup that offers the potential for quarterly income and the opportunity for capital growth, along with the safety of 100% capital protection^ when held to maturity. YIELDS3 are linked to the performance of a dynamic portfolio, which provides notional exposure to a combination of the Asian Income Plus Trading Strategy III (the Strategy) and a Bond Portfolio (a synthetic bond portfolio used to protect the value of the dynamic portfolio). The Strategy seeks to offer a targeted level of income and the potential for capital appreciation through exposure to a basket of 30 of Asia's largest companies, the composition of which will change over time#.

Key Features
Target income of 12% per annum*
Exposure to 30 of Asia's largest listed companies
100% capital guaranteed at maturity^
Minimum investment of only A$5,000

^ The capital guarantee only applies to YIELDS3 held until the Maturity Date and provided that no Early Maturity Events occur. The capital guarantee is also subject to the credit worthiness of the Guarantor (refer to "Risk factors" contained in section 5 of this PDS). * This figure relates to the Strategy and not to the returns achievable by any product linked to the Strategy. The target level of 12% income per annum (net of the Strategy Adjustment Factor) is a target income figure and not a target total return figure, the actual level of income generated at the Strategy level each year is not guaranteed and could be lower than the target if dividends paid and/or bids for short-term options fall. # The Asian Income Plus Trading Strategy III is a set of pre-determined trading rules designed to simulate an actual investment in the 30 Selected Stocks and a systematic, quarterly call-overwriting program over those stocks. The Strategy performance will be calculated as if the stock dealing and call overwriting prescribed by the Strategy had been executed. However, the Strategy Sponsor may not execute actual stock trades or write actual covered call options in order to hedge any instruments linked to the Strategy.
