During the General Offer Period of any Series, Units will be issued at the Purchase Price per Unit. Note that the Purchase Price per Unit may not be the same as the Issue Price per Unit. Also, during the General Offer Period, applications will be processed on a weekly basis or such other timing determined by the Issuer in its discretion in consultation with the Arranger. If you are an AFSL holder, please contact Alpha to obtain the details for the processing of Applications during the General Offer Period.

The General Offer Period may include dates where Citigroup Inc. may have earnings releases and potential corporate actions that may adversely affect the credit quality of Alpha RESULTS. By investing in Alpha RESULTS, the Investor acknowledges the above. For more details, please refer to the section titled “What factors should Investors consider before acquiring Units during the General Offer Period?” in Section 3 of this PDS.

Purchase Price per Unit:

The Purchase Price per Unit is the market price of the Units determined by the Issuer at the time of the issue of Units on the Purchase Date. Note that the Purchase Price per Unit may not be the same as the Issue Price per Unit.
The prevailing Purchase Price per Unit before the Purchase Date will be available from the Issuer or your licensed financial adviser. Potential Investors should not make an investment decision without considering the prevailing Purchase Price per Unit.

Purchase Date:

The Purchase Date is a date in any given week during the General Offer Period in which the Issuer receives cleared funds from the Investor and on which the Issuer issues Units.

Minimum Investment Amount:

AUD 20,000 per Application relating to a single Alpha RESULTS Strategy Investment. If the Application relates to more than one Alpha RESULTS Strategy Investment, then the Minimum Investment Amount for each Alpha RESULTS Strategy Investment is AUD 10,000 for the first, with multiples of AUD 5,000 per Alpha RESULTS Strategy Investment thereafter (note that the aggregate investment in Alpha RESULTS Strategies in respect of any Series must amount to at least the Minimum Investment Amount of AUD 20,0002).

Conditional Capital Protection 3 :

Conditional Capital Protection means that the Issuer will deliver to an Investor the Delivery Assets with a value equal to the number of Units held by the Investor multiplied by the Issue Price per Unit provided that the following requirements for Conditional Capital Protection are met:

  • in respect of both the Alpha RESULTS Income Strategy and Alpha RESULTS Growth Strategy, the Investment Amount is conditionally capital protected if neither a Barrier Event nor Early Maturity occurs and Alpha RESULTS is held on the relevant Maturity Date; and
  • in respect of only the Alpha RESULTS Autocall Strategy, the Investment Amount is conditionally capital protected if:
  • neither a Barrier Event nor Early Maturity occur;
  • an Autocall Event occurs; or
  • both a Barrier Event and Autocall Event occur.

Investors should be aware that if they are applying for Alpha RESULTS during the General Offer Period, the Purchase Price may not equal the Issue Price.  Accordingly, if Investors acquire their Investment during the General Offer Period at a time when the Purchase Price is greater than the Issue Price, they may incur a loss compared with Investors who acquire Units during the Initial Offer Period at the Issue Price. For more details, please refer to Section 4 of this PDS.

Initial Price:

The Initial Price is the Official Closing Price of a Reference Asset on the relevant Issue Date.

Reference Price:

The Reference Price is the Official Closing Price of a Reference Asset as at the date on which it is observed after the relevant Issue Date (including the Maturity Date).

Lowest Priced Reference Asset:

The Reference Asset within the relevant Reference Asset Portfolio with the lowest Percentage Performance.

Percentage Performance:

The Percentage Performance with regards to each Reference Asset is calculated as follows:
Percentage Performance = Reference Price / Initial Price

Delivery Assets:

Ordinary shares in Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX code: WBC), in respect of Alpha RESULTS (a 2010-02) and (a 2010 - 05).

In respect of a subsequent Series, the ‘Delivery Assets’ will be notified in a supplementary product disclosure statement available from Alpha at www.alpha-invest.com.au if you are an AFSL holder, or the Issuer at www.citifirst.com.au/alpha_results.html and from the ASX at  www.asx.com.au if you are not an AFSL holder.

Fees:
  • Financial Adviser Fee – is an upfront fee payable by the Issuer of up to 2.20% (including GST) of the Investment Amount; and
  • Arranger Fee – is an upfront fee payable by the Issuer of up to 1.65% (including GST) of the Investment Amount.

These fees will be paid by Citi at no additional cost to Investors.

Investment Rollover:

If, at Maturity, the Investor elects to take advantage of the Agency Sale Arrangement, the Investor can choose to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of the Delivery Assets in up to three Alpha RESULTS Strategies and up to three Reference Asset Portfolios in either an existing or subsequent Series of Alpha RESULTS (if available). For more details, please refer to page 28 of this PDS.
