Equity Linked Securities (ELKS(R)) based upon the Common Stocks of
Applied Materials, Inc., General Electric Company, The Home Depot, Inc.,
X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. and Pfizer Inc. due August 30, 2004
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., a New York corporation
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company", which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received and on
condition that this Note is not redeemed by the Company prior to August 30, 2004
(the "Stated Maturity Date"), hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its
registered assigns, the Maturity Payment (as defined below), on the Stated

Payment of the Maturity Payment with respect to this Note shall be made
upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the corporate trust office of
the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, in such
coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts or, if applicable, in the common stocks
of Applied Materials, Inc. ("Applied Materials"), General Electric Company
("General Electric"), The Home Depot, Inc. ("Home Depot"), X.X. Xxxxxx Chase &
Co. ("X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx") and Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer").
This Note is one of the series of Equity Linked Securities based upon the
common stocks of Applied Materials, General Electric, Home Depot, X.X. Xxxxxx
Chase and Pfizer due August 30, 2004 (the "ELKS").
COUPON
A coupon of $0.6000 per ELKS will be paid in cash on February 27, 2004 and
a coupon of $0.6100 per ELKS will be paid in cash on August 30, 2004. The
February 27, 2004 coupon will be composed of $0.0649 of interest and a partial
payment of an option premium in the amount of $0.5351. The August 30, 2004
coupon will be composed of $0.0660 of interest and a partial payment of an
option premium in the amount of $0.5440. Coupon payments will be payable to the
persons in whose names the ELKS are registered at the close of business on the
fifth Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment
Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the coupon payment to be made on
such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and no
additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.
"Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on
which the AMEX or banking institutions or trust companies in the City of New
York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
The interest portion of the coupon will represent interest accruing at a
rate of 1.2975% per annum from August 27, 2003 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which the interest portion of the coupon has been paid or
provided for until maturity. The interest portion of the coupon will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
PAYMENT AT MATURITY
On the Stated Maturity Date, Holders of the ELKS will receive for each
ELKS the Maturity Payment described below.
DETERMINATION OF THE MATURITY PAYMENT
The Maturity Payment for each ELKS will equal either:
- a number of shares of the underlying stock that has experienced the
greatest Percentage Decline equal to the Exchange Ratio for that
underlying stock, if the Closing Price of that stock on the third
Trading Day before the Stated Maturity Date is less than 85% of its
Initial Share Price, or
- $10 in cash.
In lieu of any fractional share of any stock otherwise payable in respect
of any ELKS, at the Stated Maturity Date, the Holder of this Note will receive
an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share. The number of
full shares of stock, and any cash in lieu of a
2
fractional share, to be delivered at the Stated Maturity Date to the Holder of
this Note will be calculated based on the aggregate number of ELKS held by such
Holder.
For purposes of calculating the Maturity Payment, the "Percentage Decline"
experienced by any underlying stock shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator
of which is (a) the Initial Share Price of that underlying stock minus (b) the
Closing Price of that underlying stock on the third Trading Day before the
Stated Maturity Date, and the denominator of which is the Initial Share Price of
that underlying stock. If the numerator of the fraction described in the
preceding sentence is a negative number with respect to any underlying stock,
the Percentage Decline experienced by that underlying stock will be deemed to
equal zero.
The "Initial Share Price" equals:
- $21.32 with respect to the common stock of Applied Materials, the
Closing Price of that common stock on August 22, 2003;
- $29.88 with respect to the common stock of General Electric, the
Closing Price of that common stock on August 22, 2003;
- $32.80 with respect to the common stock of Home Depot, the Closing
Price of that common stock on August 22, 2003;
- $33.92 with respect to the common stock of X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx, the
Closing Price of that common stock on August 22, 2003; and
- $29.55 with respect to the common stock of Pfizer, the Closing Price
of that common stock on August 22, 2003.
The "Exchange Ratio" equals:
- 0.55182 with respect to the common stock of Applied Materials;
- 0.39373 with respect to the common stock of General Electric;
- 0.35868 with respect to the common stock of Home Depot;
- 0.34684 with respect to the common stock of X.X. Xxxxxx Chase; and
- 0.39813 with respect to the common stock of Pfizer.
The "Closing Price" of any underlying stock (or any other security for
which a Closing Price must be determined) on any date of determination will be
(1) if that underlying stock or security is listed on a national securities
exchange on that date of determination, the closing sale price or, if no closing
sale price is reported, the last reported sale price on that date on the
principal U.S. exchange on which that underlying stock or security is listed or
admitted to trading, (2) if that underlying stock or security is not listed on a
national securities exchange on that date of determination, or if the closing
sale price or last reported sale price is not obtainable (even if that
underlying stock or security is listed or admitted to trading on such exchange),
and that underlying stock or security is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market,
the closing sale price or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last
reported sale price on that date as reported on the Nasdaq, and (3) if that
underlying stock or security is not quoted on the Nasdaq on that date of
3
determination or, if the closing sale price or last reported sale price is not
obtainable (even if that underlying stock or security is quoted on the Nasdaq),
the last quoted bid price for that underlying stock or security in the
over-the-counter market on that date as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, the
National Quotation Bureau or a similar organization. If no closing sale price or
last reported sale price is available pursuant to clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the
preceding sentence or if there is a Market Disruption Event, the Closing Price
on any date of determination will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the
calculation agent, of the bid prices of the applicable underlying stock or
security obtained from as many dealers in such stock or security (which may
include Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any of our other subsidiaries or
affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will make such bid prices
available to the calculation agent. A security "quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market" will include a security included for listing or quotation in any
successor to such system and the term "OTC Bulletin Board" will include any
successor to such service.
A "Market Disruption Event" means the occurrence or existence of any
suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price
exceeding limits permitted by any exchange or market or otherwise) of, or the
unavailability, through a recognized system of public dissemination of
transaction information, of accurate price, volume or related information in
respect of, (1) the shares of any underlying stock (or any other security for
which a Closing Price must be determined) on any exchange or market, or (2) any
options contracts or futures contracts relating to the shares of any underlying
stock (or other security), or any options on such futures contracts, on any
exchange or market if, in each case, in the determination of the calculation
agent, any such suspension, limitation or unavailability is material.
A "Trading Day" means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on
which trading is generally conducted (or was scheduled to have been generally
conducted, but for the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event) on the New York
Stock Exchange, the AMEX, the Nasdaq National Market, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and in the over-the-counter
market for equity securities in the United States.
If two or more underlying stocks have experienced the same percentage
decline in price from August 22, 2003 to the third Trading Day before maturity,
as determined by the calculation agent, and if their closing prices on the third
Trading Day before maturity are less than 85% of their Initial Share Prices,
then the Holder of this Note will receive at maturity shares of each of those
underlying stocks. The number of shares of each of those underlying stocks that
the Holder of this Note will receive per ELKS in this case will be equal to the
Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock divided by the number of underlying
stocks that have experienced the same percentage decline in price.
DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS
If the issuer of any underlying stock, after the closing date of the
offering of the ELKS,
(1) pays a stock dividend or makes a distribution with respect to its
common stock in shares of the stock,
4
(2) subdivides or splits the outstanding shares of its common stock into
a greater number of shares,
(3) combines the outstanding shares of its common stock into a smaller
number of shares, or
(4) issues by reclassification of shares of its common stock any shares
of other common stock of that issuer,
then, in each of these cases, the Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock will
be multiplied by a dilution adjustment equal to a fraction, the numerator of
which will be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after
the event, plus, in the case of a reclassification referred to in (4) above, the
number of shares of other common stock of that issuer, and the denominator of
which will be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately
before the event. The Initial Share Price of that underlying stock will also be
adjusted in that case in the manner described below.
If the issuer of an underlying stock, after the closing date, issues, or
declares a record date in respect of an issuance of, rights or warrants to all
holders of its common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares
of its common stock at a price per share less than the Then-Current Market Price
of that underlying stock, other than rights to purchase common stock pursuant to
a plan for the reinvestment of dividends or interest, then, in each of these
cases, the Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock will be multiplied by a
dilution adjustment equal to a fraction, the numerator of which will be the
number of shares of common stock of that issuer outstanding immediately before
the adjustment is effected, plus the number of additional shares of common stock
offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or warrants, and the
denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock of that issuer
outstanding immediately before the adjustment is effected by reason of the
issuance of the rights or warrants, plus the number of additional shares of
common stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of
common stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to the rights or
warrants would purchase at the Then-Current Market Price of that underlying
stock, which will be determined by multiplying the total number of shares so
offered for subscription or purchase by the exercise price of the rights or
warrants and dividing the product obtained by the Then-Current Market Price of
that underlying stock. To the extent that, after the expiration of the rights or
warrants, the shares of common stock offered thereby have not been delivered,
the Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock will be further adjusted to equal
the Exchange Ratio which would have been in effect had the adjustment for the
issuance of the rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only
the number of shares of common stock actually delivered. The Initial Share Price
of that underlying stock will also be adjusted in that case in the manner
described below.
If the issuer of any underlying stock, after the closing date, declares or
pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of the common stock of
any class of its capital stock, the capital stock of one or more of its
subsidiaries, evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets, excluding
any dividends or distributions referred to in the above paragraph, or issues to
all holders of its common stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any of its or one
5
or more of its subsidiaries' securities, other than rights or warrants referred
to in the above paragraph, then, in each of these cases, the Exchange Ratio for
that underlying stock will be multiplied by a dilution adjustment equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which will be the Then-Current Market Price of one
share of that underlying stock, and the denominator of which will be the
Then-Current Market Price of one share of that underlying stock, less the fair
market value (as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment
banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company, whose determination will
be final) as of the time the adjustment is effected of the portion of the
capital stock, assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so
distributed or issued applicable to one share of that underlying stock. The
Initial Share Price of that underlying stock will also be adjusted in that case
in the manner described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, with respect to any
dividend or distribution to which the above paragraph would otherwise apply, the
denominator in the fraction referred to in the above formula is less than $1.00
or is a negative number, then the Company may, at its option, elect to have the
adjustment provided by the above paragraph not be made and, in lieu of this
adjustment, the Closing Price of the applicable underlying stock on the third
Trading Date before the Stated Maturity Date will be deemed to be equal to the
fair market value of the capital stock, assets, evidences of indebtedness,
rights or warrants (determined, as of the date this dividend or distribution is
made, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained
for this purpose by the Company, whose determination will be final) so
distributed or issued applicable to one share of that underlying stock and, if
that underlying stock has experienced the greatest Percentage Decline, each
holder of the ELKS will have the right to receive at maturity cash in an amount
per ELKS equal to the Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock multiplied by
such fair market value.
If the issuer of any underlying stock, after the closing date, declares a
record date in respect of a distribution of cash, other than any Permitted
Dividends described below, any cash distributed in consideration of fractional
shares of common stock and any cash distributed in a Reorganization Event
referred to below, by dividend or otherwise, to all holders of its common stock,
or makes an Excess Purchase Payment, then the Exchange Ratio for that underlying
stock will be multiplied by a dilution adjustment equal to a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the Then-Current Market Price of that underlying
stock, and the denominator of which will be the Then-Current Market Price of
that underlying stock on the record date less the amount of the distribution
applicable to one share of common stock which would not be a Permitted Dividend,
or, in the case of an Excess Purchase Payment, less the aggregate amount of the
Excess Purchase Payment for which adjustment is being made at the time divided
by the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. The
Initial Share Price of that underlying stock will also be adjusted in that case
in the manner described below.
For the purposes of these adjustments:
A "Permitted Dividend" in respect of any underlying stock is any quarterly
cash dividend in respect of that underlying stock, other than a quarterly cash
dividend that exceeds the immediately preceding quarterly cash dividend, and
then only to the extent that the per share amount of this dividend results in an
annualized dividend yield on that underlying stock in excess of 10%.
6
An "Excess Purchase Payment" in respect of any underlying stock is the
excess, if any, of (x) the cash and the value (as determined by a nationally
recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the
Company, whose determination will be final) of all other consideration paid by
the issuer of that underlying stock with respect to one share of underlying
stock acquired in a tender offer or exchange offer by that issuer, over (y) the
Then-Current Market Price of that underlying stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, with respect to any
dividend or distribution or Excess Purchase Payment to which the fifth paragraph
in this section would otherwise apply, the denominator in the fraction referred
to in the formula in that paragraph is less than $1.00 or is a negative number,
then the Company may, at its option, elect to have the adjustment provided by
the fifth paragraph in this section not be made, and, in lieu of this
adjustment, the Closing Price of the applicable underlying stock on the third
Trading Day before the Stated Maturity Date will be deemed to be equal to the
sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of other consideration
(determined, as of the date this dividend or distribution is made, by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this
purpose by the Company, whose determination will be final) so distributed or
applied to the acquisition of the stock in the tender offer or exchange offer
applicable to one share of that underlying stock and, if that underlying stock
has experienced the greatest Percentage Decline, each holder of the ELKS will
have the right to receive at maturity cash in an amount per ELKS equal to the
Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock multiplied by such sum.
If any adjustment is made to the Exchange Ratio for any underlying stock
as set forth above, an adjustment will also be made to the Initial Share Price
for that stock. The required adjustment will be made by dividing the Initial
Share Price for that stock by the relevant dilution adjustment. If, during any
period of ten Trading Days used to calculate the Then-Current Market Price,
there occurs any event requiring an adjustment to be effected as described
herein, then the Closing Price for each Trading Day in such period of ten
Trading Days occurring prior to the day on which such adjustment is effected
will be adjusted by being divided by a relevant dilution adjustment.
Each dilution adjustment will be effected as follows:
- in the case of any dividend, distribution or issuance in respect of
any underlying stock, at the opening of business on the Business Day
next following the record date for determination of holders of that
stock entitled to receive this dividend, distribution or issuance
or, if the announcement of this dividend, distribution, or issuance
is after this record date, at the time this dividend, distribution
or issuance was announced by the issuer of that stock,
- in the case of any subdivision, split, combination or
reclassification in respect of any underlying stock, on the
effective date of the transaction,
- in the case of any Excess Purchase Payment in respect of any
underlying stock for which the issuer of that stock announces, at or
prior to the time it commences the
7
relevant share repurchase, the repurchase price per share for shares
proposed to be repurchased, on the date of the announcement, and
- in the case of any other Excess Purchase Payment in respect of any
underlying stock, on the date that the holders of the repurchased
shares become entitled to payment in respect thereof.
All dilution adjustments will be rounded upward or downward to the nearest
1/10,000th or, if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th, to the next lower
1/10,000th. No adjustment in the Exchange Ratio for any underlying stock will be
required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least
one percent therein, provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this sentence are not required to be made will be carried forward (on a
percentage basis) and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. If any
announcement or declaration of a record date in respect of a dividend,
distribution, issuance or repurchase in respect of any underlying stock
requiring an adjustment as described herein is subsequently canceled by the
issuer of that stock, or this dividend, distribution, issuance or repurchase
fails to receive requisite approvals or fails to occur for any other reason,
then, upon the cancellation, failure of approval or failure to occur, the
Exchange Ratio and the Initial Share Price for that stock will be further
adjusted to the Exchange Ratio and the Initial Share Price which would then have
been in effect had adjustment for the event not been made. If a Reorganization
Event described below occurs after the occurrence of one or more events
requiring an adjustment as described herein, the dilution adjustments previously
applied to the Exchange Ratio will not be rescinded but will be applied to the
Reorganization Event as provided for below.
The "Then-Current Market Price" of any underlying stock, for the purpose
of applying any dilution adjustment, means the average Closing Price per share
of that stock for the 10 Trading Days immediately before this adjustment is
effected or, in the case of an adjustment effected at the opening of business on
the Business Day next following a record date, immediately before the earlier of
the date the adjustment is effected and the related Ex-Date. For purposes of
determining the Then-Current Market Price, the determination of the Closing
Price by the calculation agent in the event of a Market Disruption Event, as
described in the definition of Closing Price, may be deferred by the calculation
agent for up to five consecutive Trading Days on which a Market Disruption Event
is occurring.
The "Ex-Date" with respect to any dividend, distribution or issuance in
respect of any underlying stock is the first date on which the shares of that
stock trade in the regular way on their principal market without the right to
receive this dividend, distribution or issuance.
In the event of any of the following "Reorganization Events":
- any consolidation or merger of the issuer of any underlying stock,
or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of that
issuer, with or into another entity, other than a merger or
consolidation in which that issuer is the continuing corporation and
in which the common stock outstanding immediately before the merger
or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other
property of that issuer or another issuer,
8
- any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another entity of the
property of the issuer of any underlying stock or any successor as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
- any statutory exchange of securities of the issuer of any underlying
stock or any successor of that issuer with another issuer, other
than in connection with a merger or acquisition, or
- any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the issuer of any
underlying stock or any successor of that issuer,
the Closing Price of that underlying stock will be deemed to be equal to the
Transaction Value in respect of that underlying stock.
The "Transaction Value" in respect of any underlying stock will be the sum
of:
(1) for any cash received in a Reorganization Event, the amount of cash
received per share of the underlying stock,
(2) for any property other than cash or Marketable Securities received
in a Reorganization Event, an amount equal to the market value on
the date the Reorganization Event is consummated of that property
received per share of the underlying stock, as determined by a
nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained
for this purpose by the Company, whose determination will be final,
and
(3) for any Marketable Securities received in a Reorganization Event, an
amount equal to the Closing Price per share of these Marketable
Securities on the third Trading Day before the Stated Maturity Date
multiplied by the number of these Marketable Securities received for
each share of the underlying stock.
"Marketable Securities" are any perpetual equity securities or debt
securities with a stated maturity after the maturity date, in each case that are
listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or reported by the Nasdaq Stock
Market. The number of shares of any equity securities constituting Marketable
Securities included in the calculation of Transaction Value pursuant to clause
(3) above will be adjusted if any event occurs with respect to the Marketable
Securities or the issuer of the Marketable Securities between the time of the
Reorganization Event and maturity that would have required an adjustment as
described above, had it occurred with respect to any underlying stock or any
issuer of underlying stock. Adjustment for these subsequent events will be as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments described above.
If the underlying stock that has experienced the greatest Percentage
Decline has been subject to a Reorganization Event, then each Holder will have
the right to receive at maturity cash in an amount per ELKS equal to the
Exchange Ratio for that underlying stock multiplied by the Transaction Value.

GENERAL
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the
Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt
Indenture, dated as of October 27, 1993, as supplemented by a First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of November 28, 1997, a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of July 1, 1999, and as further supplemented from time to time (the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of the ELKS, and the terms upon which the ELKS are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
If an Event of Default with respect to the ELKS shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of the ELKS may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. In such case, the amount
declared due and payable upon any acceleration permitted by the Indenture will
be determined by the calculation agent and will be equal to, with respect to
this Note, the Maturity Payment calculated as though the Stated Maturity Date of
this Note were the date of early repayment. In case of default at Maturity of
this Note, this Note shall bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial
owners of this Note in accordance with the terms of the ELKS, from and after
Maturity through the date when payment of such amount has been made or duly
provided for, at the rate of 2% per annum on the unpaid amount (or the cash
equivalent of such unpaid amount) due.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series to
be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of
each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of
all Debt Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Holder of this Note may not enforce such Holder's rights pursuant to
the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. No reference
herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company to pay the Maturity Payment with
respect to this Note, and to pay any interest on any overdue amount thereof at
the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture but not in
this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
10
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes.
11
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed under its corporate seal.
