Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) announced today the
expiration and final tender results of its previously announced
cash tender offers (each, an “Offer” and, collectively, the
“Offers”) with respect to the series of notes set forth in
the first table below (the “Any and All Notes”) and the
second table below (the “Maximum Tender Notes,” and together
with the Any and All Notes, the “Notes,” and each a
“series” of Notes).
These Offers, in which Notes totaling approximately
$1,154,501,000 are being accepted, are consistent with Citigroup’s
liability management strategy, and reflect its ongoing efforts to
enhance the efficiency of its funding and capital structure. Since
2013, Citigroup redeemed or retired $33.8 billion of securities,
excluding exchanged securities, of which $11.7 billion was redeemed
or retired in 2015, reducing Citigroup’s overall funding costs.
Citigroup will continue to consider opportunities to redeem or
repurchase securities based on several factors, including, without
limitation, economic value, potential impact on Citigroup’s net
interest margin and borrowing costs, overall remaining tenor of
Citigroup’s debt portfolio, capital impact, and overall market
conditions.
The final Settlement Date (the “Final Settlement Date”)
is expected to occur on December 1, 2015 for all series of
Notes.
As the Expiration Date for the Offers was November 25, 2015, the
deadline for tendering Notes pursuant to the Offers has now
passed.
Citigroup accepted an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $485,859,000 of the Any and All Notes on the Early
Tender Date and purchased such Any and All Notes on the Early
Settlement Date. Citigroup has accepted Any and All Notes validly
tendered after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the
Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount of $442,000.
Holders of these Any and All Notes are entitled to receive the
applicable Tender Offer Consideration which is equal to the Total
Consideration applicable to such Notes less the Early Tender
Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including,
the Final Settlement Date.
Citigroup accepted an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $666,966,000 of the Maximum Tender Notes on the Early
Tender Date and purchased such Maximum Tender Notes on the Early
Settlement Date. Citigroup has accepted all Maximum Tender Notes
validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to
the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount of
$1,234,000. Holders of these Maximum Tender Notes are entitled to
receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration which is equal to
the Total Consideration applicable to such Notes less the Early
Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the Final Settlement Date.
The following tables set forth the aggregate principal amount of
each series of Notes that were outstanding immediately prior to the
Expiration Date and that were validly tendered on or prior to the
Expiration Date. All Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offers
have been accepted for purchase.
