When you invest in the Walker Crips UK Step Down Kick-out Plan, you may receive an accumulated return of 8% for each year of your investment depending on the performance of the FTSE 100 Index.
The full Investment Term is seven years, however, the Plan has the potential to mature early (kick-out) from the second anniversary and annually thereafter.
If the FTSE 100 Index is at or above the required level on an Anniversary Date, the Plan will mature early (kick-out) and repay your Initial Investment plus a defined return (as outlined on page 5 of the brochure). The required kick-out level reduces on the fifth anniversary, and annually thereafter. The required Final Index Level is 85% of the Initial Index Level.
You will receive back significantly less than you initially invested if the Closing Level of the FTSE 100 Index is below 65% of its Initial Index Level on the Investment End Date.
The Counterparty for this Plan is Citigroup Global Markets Ltd. If Citigroup Global Markets Ltd were to fail or become insolvent, you could lose some or all of your Initial Investment and any return that may be due, irrespective of the performance of the FTSE 100 Index.
Other Key Information
English law governed notes
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. Call +44 20 7986 2121 for more information.
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 85.00% of the initial reference level a cash payment equal to GBP 1.56;
2. otherwise, if the final reference level is above 65.00% of the initial reference level and below 85.00% of the initial reference level a cash payment equal to GBP 1.00;
3. otherwise, if the final reference level is at or 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 product issuer may terminate the product, as applicable, early. These events are specified in the product terms and principally relate to the product and the product 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.
The product is intended to be offered to retail investors who:
♦ they have advanced knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of the product, its market and its specific risks and
rewards, with relevant financial industry experience including either frequent trading or large holdings in products of a similar nature, risk and complexity, either independently or through professional advice;
♦ they expect the movement in the underlying to perform in a way that generates a favourable return, have an investment horizon of the recommended holding period specified in the key information document and understand that the product may terminate early;

The product is not intended to be offered to retail clients who do not fulfil these criteria.
