All told, the issue has an aggregate principal amount of $251 million. Only those noteholders who tender their notes before 5:00 p.m. on May 17 New York City time will receive the early tender premium.
Citigroup's eponymous Global Markets unit is the dealer manager and solicitation agent in the tender.
