Coupon Payments:

A Coupon Payment will be payable per Unit to a holder of the MLI for the AUD and USD Series on the Coupon Payment Date in accordance with the formulas below.

 

AUD Series: Coupon Payment (Years 1 - 3) = Issue Price x 3/12 x Coupon Rate


USD Series: Coupon Payment (Years 1 - 3) = Issue Price x 3/12 x Coupon Rate

 

Coupon Rate Coupon Payments are payable Quarterly up to and including the 3rd anniversary of the Issue Date. Investors will not be entitled to Coupon Payments throughout the fourth year of the Term.

Coupon Record Dates: Quarterly after the Issue Date and continuing up to and including the 3rd anniversary of the Issue Date.
Coupon Payment Dates: 5 Business Days after each Coupon Record Date.
Initial Price: In respect of each Reference Asset, the ‘Initial Price’ is the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset on the Issue Date.
Reference Price: In respect of each Reference Asset, the ‘Reference Price’ is the Official Closing Price of the Reference Asset as at the date on which it is observed.
Reference Asset Return:

In respect of each Reference Asset:

 

Reference Asset Return (%) = (Reference Price – Initial Price) / Initial Price

Worst Performing Reference Asset:

The Worst Performing Reference Asset is the Reference Asset with the lowest Reference Asset Return, as determined by the Issuer at Maturity.

 

Potential returns in the MLI are linked to the Worst Performing Reference Asset. Hence, Investors should be aware that their exposure is not based on the average performance of all of the Reference Assets. Accordingly, the negative performance of the Worst Performing Reference Asset will not be offset by the positive performance of another Reference Asset.

Cap Level:

AUD Series: 50%

USD Series: 15%

Final Value per Unit:

At Maturity, the Final Value per Unit is calculated as follows, regardless of whether the Investor has invested in the MLI during the Initial Offer Period or the General Offer Period:

 

Issue Price x [100% + Max (0%, Min (Reference Asset Return of the

Worst Performing Reference Asset, Cap Level))]

 

This means that the Final Value per Unit cannot be less than the Issue Price and that if the Reference Asset Return of each Reference Asset exceeds 0%, then the Final Value per Unit will be the lesser of:

  • the Issue Price multiplied by one plus the Reference Asset Return of the Worst Performing Reference Asset; or
  • the Issue Price multiplied by one plus the Cap Level.

Investors should note that the Purchase Price may not equal the Issue Price. As such, Investors applying in the General Offer Period may make a capital loss or gain as the Final Value per Unit is only calculated by reference to the Issue Price. Investors should refer to Section 1 for more information on how the Final Value per Unit is calculated.

Delivery Asset: Ordinary shares in National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”) (an ASX listed share, ASX code: NAB)
Fees: Distributor Fee: An upfront fee payable by the Issuer of up to 3.00% (including GST if applicable) of the Investment Amount. This fee is payable by the Issuer out of its own funds and is not an additional cost to the Applicant, nor is it deducted from the Applicant’s Investment Amount.
* Capital Protection only applies to Investments held at Maturity provided that Early Maturity does not occur. Capital Protection safeguards the MLI from market risks up to the value of the Issue Price, and is subject to the credit worthiness of Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited and Citigroup Inc. 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.
