Citigroup Global Markets Limited (http://www.citigroup.com/). The product issuer is Citigroup Global Markets Funding Luxembourg S.C.A. with a guarantee by Citigroup Global Markets Limited.
The product is designed to provide a return in the form of a cash payment on the maturity date in an amount that depends on whether the underlying satisfies the barrier conditions specified below. The product has a fixed term and will terminate on the maturity date, unless terminated early.
Early termination following an autocall: The product will terminate prior to the maturity date if, on any autocall observation date, the reference level is at or above the relevant autocall barrier level. On any such early termination, you will on the immediately following autocall payment date receive a cash payment equal to the applicable autocall payment. The relevant dates, autocall barrier levels and autocall payments are shown in the table(s) in the key information document.
Termination on the maturity date: If the product has not terminated early, on the maturity date you will receive:
1. if the final reference level is at or above 75.00% of the initial reference level, a cash payment equal to GBP 1.546;
2. otherwise, if the final reference level is at or above 65.00% of the initial reference level and below 75.00% of the initial reference level, a cash payment equal to GBP 1.00;
3. otherwise, if the final reference level is below 65.00% of the initial reference level, a cash payment equal to (i) the product notional amount multiplied by (ii) (A) the final reference level divided by (B) the initial reference level.
Investors should note that the payments described above are based on the expected value of the preference shares. Therefore any return you may receive on the product depends directly on the value of the preference shares. As such, your return is only indirectly dependent on the underlying.
Under the product terms, certain dates specified above and below will be adjusted if the respective date is either not a business day or not a trading day (as applicable). Any adjustments may affect the return, if any, you receive.
The product terms also provide that if certain exceptional events occur (1) adjustments may be made to the product and/or (2) the issuer may terminate the product, as applicable, early. These events are specified in the product terms and principally relate to the product and the issuer. The preference shares in turn contain provisions allowing the preference shares to be adjusted or terminated early in the case of certain exceptional events, in particular relating to the underlying. Any such adjustments or early termination are likely to affect the amount and timing of return you receive under the product, meaning the return (if any) that you receive on such early termination is likely to be different from the scenarios described above and may be less than the amount you invested.
This product is intended to be offered to retail investors who fulfil all of the criteria below:
1. they have the ability to make an informed investment decision through sufficient knowledge and understanding of the product and its specific risks and rewards, either independently or through professional advice, and they may have experience of investing in and/or holding a number of similar products providing a similar market exposure;

4. they accept the risk that the issuer or guarantor could fail to pay or perform its obligations under the product irrespective of the redemption profile of the product (credit risk);

Is the Meteor FTSE Annual Step Down to 75 Kick Out Plan (Option 1) right for me?

♦ Be an Informed or Advanced Investor, with appropriate knowledge and experience of equity- based investments;

♦ Be willing and able to tie up their money for the term of the Plan for the objective of capital growth;
♦ Accept that they could lose money and be able to afford to do so;
♦ Understand that in the event of a loss that this loss would be at least 35% of the money they put into the Plan, and could be considerably more, and in extreme circumstances they could lose all of their money;
♦ Understand that any investment return is dependent on the performance of the Indices, which is calculated on set dates, and accept they might not get any investment return at all;

♦ Appreciate the importance of having a spread of investments to reduce concentration risk;
