S-4 DESCRIPTION OF MEDIUM-TERM NOTES The following description of the particular terms of the Notes offered hereby supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of Notes set forth under the heading "Description of Notes" in the accompanying Prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the accompanying Prospectus and the Indentures (as defined below). The following description of the Notes will apply unless otherwise stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement. General The Senior Notes offered hereby will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 1, 1989, between Citicorp and United States Trust Company of New York, as Trustee (the "Senior Trustee"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 25, 1990 between Citicorp and the Senior Trustee (such Indenture, together with such First Supplemental Indenture and any additional supplemental indentures thereto, is hereinafter referred to as the "Senior Indenture"), referred to in the accompanying Prospectus. The Subordinated Notes offered hereby will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1991, between Citicorp and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Subordinated Trustee" and, together with the Senior Trustee, the "Trustees"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 27, 1992 between Citicorp and the Subordinated Trustee (such Indenture, together with such First Supplemental Indenture and any additional supplemental indentures thereto, is hereinafter referred to as the "Subordinated Indenture" and, together with the Senior Indenture, the "Indentures"), referred to in the accompanying Prospectus. Each of the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes constitute a single series for purposes of the applicable Indenture and are limited to an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000 (including, in the case of Foreign Currency Notes, the equivalent thereof in a Specified Currency), subject to reduction by or pursuant to action of Citicorp's Board of Directors, provided that no such reduction will affect any Note already issued or as to which an offer to purchase has been accepted by Citicorp. See "Plan of Distribution of Medium-Term Notes" below. The foregoing limit, however, may be increased by Citicorp if in the future it determines that it may wish to sell additional Notes. The Senior Notes will be unsecured and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Citicorp. The Subordinated Notes will be unsecured and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and subordinated indebtedness of Citicorp other than subordinated indebtedness as to which, in the instrument evidencing or creating the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is provided that such indebtedness is junior to the Subordinated Notes. Each Note will mature from 9 months to 50 years from its Issue Date, as selected by the initial purchaser and agreed to by Citicorp. The Notes will be issuable only in fully registered form and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, will be issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes may be issued as Original Issue Discount Notes. An "Original Issue Discount Note" is a Note, including any Zero-Coupon Note, which is issued at a price lower than the amount payable at the Stated Maturity thereof and which provides that upon redemption or acceleration of the Stated Maturity thereof an amount less than the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity thereof and determined in accordance with the terms thereof shall become due and payable. Original Issue Discount Notes, as well as certain other Notes offered hereunder, may, for United States federal income tax purposes, be considered "discount Notes". Certain holders of, or owners of beneficial interests in, Original Issue Discount Notes having a Stated Maturity of more than one year from their date of issue will have to include original issue discount in income as it accrues, generally before receipt of cash attributable to such income. Additional United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of discount Notes are described under "United States Taxation--Original Issue Discount" in the accompanying Prospectus. A "Zero-Coupon Note" means a Note that does not bear interest prior to Maturity. The Notes may be issued as Indexed Notes, as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Holders of Indexed Notes may receive a principal amount at Maturity that is greater than or less than the face amount of such Notes depending upon the fluctuation of the relative value, rate or price of the specified index. Specific information pertaining to the method for determining the principal amount payable at Maturity, a historical comparison of the relative value, rate or price of the specified index and the face amount of the Indexed Note and certain additional tax considerations will be described in the applicable Pricing Supplement. S-5 Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of principal of and any premium and interest on such Notes will be made in U.S. dollars in the manner described in this Prospectus Supplement under "Book-Entry System" below and in the accompanying Prospectus under the caption "Description of Notes--Payment and Paying Agents". If any of the Notes are to be denominated in a Specified Currency, additional information pertaining to the terms of such Notes and other matters of interest to the holders thereof will be described in the applicable Pricing Supplement. See "Foreign Currency Risks" and "United States Taxation" in the accompanying Prospectus. The Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange at the offices of Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. For a description of the rights attaching to series of Notes under the applicable Indenture, see "Description of Notes" in the accompanying Prospectus. The applicable Pricing Supplement will indicate either that a Note cannot be redeemed prior to its Stated Maturity or that a Note will be redeemable at the option of Citicorp on or after a specified date prior to its Stated Maturity at a specified price or prices (which may include a premium), together with accrued interest to the date of redemption. In addition, the applicable Pricing Supplement will indicate whether Citicorp will be obligated to redeem or purchase a Note pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holder thereof. If Citicorp will be so obligated, the applicable Pricing Supplement will indicate the period or periods within which and the price or prices at which the applicable Notes will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation and the other terms and provisions of such obligation. The provisions of the Indentures described under "Description of Notes--Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the accompanying Prospectus apply to the Notes. Interest Each Note, except a Zero-Coupon Note, will bear interest from and including its Issue Date or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of a Floating Rate Note with daily or weekly Interest Reset Dates, the day following the most recent Regular Record Date) with respect to which interest on such Note (or any predecessor Note) has been paid or duly provided for at the fixed rate per annum, or at the rate per annum determined pursuant to the interest rate index or formula specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be payable on each Interest Payment Date and at Maturity. Interest will be payable to the Person in whose name a Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable. The first payment of interest on any Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on the second Interest Payment Date following the Issue Date of such Note to the registered owner on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Each Note, except a Zero-Coupon Note, will bear interest at either (a) a fixed rate or rates (a "Fixed Rate Note") or (b) a variable rate determined by reference to an interest rate index or formula (a "Floating Rate Note"), which may be adjusted by adding or subtracting the Spread (as defined below) and/or multiplying by the Spread Multiplier (as defined below), unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Holders of Zero-Coupon Notes will receive no periodic payments of interest. In addition to any maximum interest rate which may be applicable to any Note, the interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. Under current New York law, the maximum rate of interest is 25% per annum on a simple interest basis. The limit does not apply to Notes in which $2,500,000 or more has been invested. Fixed Rate Notes The applicable Pricing Supplement relating to a Fixed Rate Note will designate a fixed rate of interest per annum payable on such Note. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Interest Payment Dates for Fixed Rate Notes will be the 15th day of each month and at Maturity and the Regular Record Dates for Fixed Rate S-6 Notes will be the first day of each month. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest payments for Fixed Rate Notes will be the amount of interest accrued to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on such Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, if any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity with respect to a Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Market Day, payments due shall be made on the next succeeding Market Day as if they were made on the date such payments were due and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or such Maturity, as the case may be. "Market Day" means any day that is not (a) a Saturday or Sunday, (b) a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close or (c) any other day specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Floating Rate Notes The applicable Pricing Supplement relating to a Floating Rate Note will designate an interest rate index or formula and will also specify the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, and the maximum or minimum interest rate limitation, if any, applicable to such Note. "Spread" means the number of basis points specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being applicable to the interest rate for a particular Floating Rate Note and "Spread Multiplier" means the percentage specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being applicable to the interest rate for a particular Floating Rate Note. In addition, such Pricing Supplement will state for each Floating Rate Note the following terms, if applicable: Calculation Dates; Initial Interest Rate; Index Maturity; Interest Determination Dates and Interest Reset Dates (each as defined below), as well as the applicable Interest Payment Dates and the Regular Record Dates. "Calculation Date", where applicable, means the date on which the Calculation Agent is to calculate the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note. "Index Maturity" means, with respect to a Floating Rate Note, the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation on which the interest rate index or formula is based. The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each, an "Interest Reset Date"), as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect from the Issue Date of a Floating Rate Note (or any predecessor Note) to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest rate in effect for the ten days immediately prior to Maturity of any installment of principal will be that in effect on the tenth day preceding such Maturity. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Market Day, the Interest Reset Date for such Floating Rate Note will be the next succeeding Market Day. "Initial Interest Rate" means the rate at which a Floating Rate Note will bear interest from its Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date. "Interest Determination Date" means the date as of which the rate of interest in effect on an Interest Reset Date will be determined. A Floating Rate Note may have either or both of the following: (a) a maximum numerical interest rate limitation, or ceiling, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any interest period and (b) a minimum numerical interest rate limitation, or floor, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any interest period. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest payments for a Floating Rate Note will be the amount of interest accrued to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity; provided, however, that if the Interest Reset Dates with respect to any Floating Rate Note are daily or weekly, interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on which principal on any such Note is payable, will include interest accrued to and including the next preceding Regular Record Date. The "Regular Record Date" with respect to Floating Rate Notes will be the date 15 calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Market Day. Accrued interest on any Floating Rate Note from its Issue Date or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for is calculated by multiplying the face amount of such Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the Issue Date or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such date by 360 (or, in the case of Floating Rate Notes whose interest rate is indexed to U.S. Treasury securities, the actual number of days in the year). S-7 Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, all percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). Upon the request of the holder of any Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The "Calculation Agent" means the agent appointed by Citicorp to calculate interest rates under the circumstances specified below for Floating Rate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in an applicable Pricing Supplement, the Calculation Agent will be Citibank. Book-Entry System Upon issuance, all Notes of like tenor and having the same Issue Date will be represented by one or more permanent global securities (the "Global Securities"). Each Global Security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary (the "Depositary"), located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and will be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Ownership of Notes will be limited to institutions that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. In addition, ownership of Notes by participants will be evidenced only by, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be. Ownership of Notes by persons that hold through participants will be evidenced only by, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by such participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer Notes. Citicorp has been advised by the Depositary that upon the issuance of a Global Security, and the deposit of such Global Security with or on behalf of the Depositary, the Depositary will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the Notes represented by such Global Security to the accounts of participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by the soliciting Agent, or by Citicorp if such Notes are offered and sold directly by Citicorp. Payments of principal of and any premium and interest on Notes represented by a Global Security registered in the name of or held by the Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and the holder of the Global Security representing such Notes. Such payments to the Depositary or its nominee will be made in immediately available funds at the offices of Citibank, as Paying Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, provided that, in the case of payments of principal and any premium, the Global Securities are presented to the Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. None of Citicorp, the Trustees or any agent of Citicorp or the Trustees will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depositary's records or any participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes represented by Global Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the Depositary's records or any participant's records relating to such Notes. Citicorp has been advised by the Depositary that upon receipt of any payment of principal of or any premium or interest in respect of a Global Security, the Depositary will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of the Depositary. Payments by participants to owners of Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in "street name", and will be the responsibility of such participants. No Global Security may be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to another nominee of the Depositary. Notes represented by a Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, only if (x) the Depositary notifies Citicorp that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered S-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (y) Citicorp in its sole discretion determines that such Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form or (z) any event shall have happened and be continuing which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to such Notes. Any Global Security representing Notes that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable in whole for definitive Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Such definitive Notes shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the Depositary shall instruct the Security Registrar. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions received by the Depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of Notes. Except as provided above, owners of Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the applicable Indenture, and no Global Security representing Notes shall be exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each person owning a Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable Indenture. Each Indenture provides that the Depositary, as a holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a holder is entitled to give or take under that Indenture. Citicorp understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that Citicorp requests any action of holders or an owner of a Note desires to give or take any action a holder is entitled to give or take under an Indenture, the Depositary would authorize the participants owning the relevant Notes to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. The Depositary has advised Citicorp that the Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. The Depositary was created to hold securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depositary's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/ or their representatives) own the Depositary. Access to the Depositary's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION OF MEDIUM-TERM NOTES The Agents will be Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") and any other Agent designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Under the terms of a Selling Agent Agreement (the "Selling Agent Agreement") between Citicorp and Smith Barney, the Notes may be offered on a continuing basis by Citicorp through Smith Barney, which has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of the Notes. Citicorp will pay Smith Barney a commission ranging from 0.20% to 3.00% of the principal amount of each Note, depending on its Stated Maturity, sold through Smith Barney. Citicorp has reserved the right to sell Notes directly to investors on its own behalf and to enter into agreements substantially similar to the Selling Agent Agreement with other Agents. No commission will be payable nor will a discount be allowed on any sales made directly by Citicorp. Citicorp will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, without notice to Citicorp, to reject any offer to purchase Notes received by it, in whole or in part. Citicorp also may sell Notes to any Agent, acting as principal, at a discount to be agreed upon at the time of sale, for resale to one or more investors or other purchasers at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of such resale, as determined by such Agent or, if so agreed, at a fixed public offering price. The Agents may sell to or through dealers who may resell to investors. The Agents may pay all or part of their discount or commission to such dealers. The offering price and other selling terms for such resales may from time to time be varied by such Agent. This Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus may be used by Citicorp Securities, Inc. ("CSI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp, in connection with offers and sales related to secondary market transactions in the Notes. CSI may act as principal or agent in such transactions. Such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. S-9 Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, payment of the purchase price of Notes will be required to be made in funds immediately available in The City of New York. The Agents may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any discounts or commissions received by them from Citicorp and any profit realized by them on the sale or resale of the Notes may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Act. Citicorp has agreed or will agree to indemnify the Agents against and contribute toward certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act, and to reimburse the Agents for certain expenses. Smith Barney engages in transactions with and performs services for Citicorp in the ordinary course of business. VALIDITY OF THE MEDIUM-TERM NOTES The validity of the Notes offered hereby will be passed upon for Citicorp by Stephen E. Dietz, as an Associate General Counsel of Citibank, N.A., and for the Agents by Sullivan & Cromwell, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004. The opinions of Mr. Dietz and Sullivan & Cromwell will be conditioned upon, and subject to certain assumptions regarding, future action required to be taken by Citicorp and the applicable Trustee in connection with the issuance and sale of any particular Note, the specific terms of Notes and other matters which may affect the validity of Notes but which cannot be ascertained on the date of such opinions. Mr. Dietz owns or has the right to acquire a number of shares of common stock of Citicorp equal to less than 0.01% of the outstanding common stock of Citicorp. S-10
