New York, in the United States, (ii) London, England or
(iii) Tokyo, Japan.
The Calculation Agent will be Salomon Brothers
International Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Salomon Inc (the "Company"). Neither the Calculation
Agent nor the Company will have any responsibility for
errors or omissions in making calculations or
determinations in respect of the Dual Currency Notes. The
Calculation Agent shall not be an agent of the Holders of
the Dual Currency Notes, and its calculations and
determinations in respect of the Dual Currency Notes shall
(except in the case of manifest error) be final and binding
on the Company and such Holders.
Risk Factors
The Dual Currency Notes are Indexed Notes.
The amount of interest (if any) that a Holder will
receive in respect of the Dual Currency Notes on any
Interest Payment Date with respect to the Interest Period
ending on the day prior to such Interest Payment Date will
be determined by reference to the exchange rate between
the Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar on the fifth
London and Tokyo Business Day prior to such Interest
Payment Date, as described below under "Interest".
As described more fully below under "Interest", if
the applicable exchange rate for any such Interest
2
<PAGE>
Period is equal to or below 75.2614 Japanese Yen per 1
Australian Dollar, the amount of interest payable in
respect of the Dual Currency Notes for such Interest Period
shall be zero. Holders of the Dual Currency Notes should be
prepared not to earn any interest on their principal.
The amount that a Holder will receive in respect of
principal on the Dual Currency Notes at Maturity will be
determined by reference to the exchange rate between the
Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar on the tenth Business Day
prior to Maturity, as described below under "Principal". As
described more fully below under "Principal", if the
applicable exchange rate at Maturity is equal to or below
121.0500 Japanese Yen per 1 U.S. Dollar, the amount payable
in respect of principal on any Dual Currency Note shall be
equal to the Face Amount of such Dual Currency Note (as
stated on the cover of this Pricing Supplement).
Interest
The amount of interest payable on any Dual Currency
Note on any Interest Payment Date with respect to the
Interest Period ending on the previous day shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months and shall be an amount
in Japanese Yen (rounded to the nearest Yen) determined in
accordance with the formula set out below; provided,
however, that the amount of interest payable on any
Interest Payment Date shall never be less than zero.
IIA = FA times [(0.0008370828 times AU$ FX Rate) minus
0.0630]; where
"IIA" means the indexed interest amount in Japanese
Yen payable on such Interest Payment Date (rounded to the
nearest Yen).
"FA" means the Face Amount of the Dual Currency Note
(as stated on the cover of this Pricing Supplement).
"AU$ FX Rate", with respect to any Interest Period,
means the number of Japanese Yen required to purchase one
Australian Dollar, as determined by the Calculation Agent
by calculating the arithmetic mean (rounded to four decimal
places) of the bid and offer spot exchange rate between the
Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar, as displayed on
Reuters screen "JPNU", row "11:00" (or any successor row
and page thereto) at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the fifth
London and Tokyo Business Day preceding the relevant
Interest Payment Date.
The following table sets forth, for the hypothetical
AU$ FX Rates indicated, the amount of interest that would
be payable on 100,000,000 Japanese Yen Face Amount of the
Dual Currency Notes for the related Interest Period. The
information presented below is furnished solely for
purposes of illustration, and no representation is made
that any actual AU$ FX Rate will be equal to, or less than,
or greater than, any of the hypothetical AU$ FX Rates
indicated.

125.0000 3,873,431
130.0000 4,582,076
The table above shows that the amount of interest
payable in respect of the Dual Currency Notes will vary as
the AU$ FX Rate varies. In particular, the amount of
interest payable in respect of the Dual Currency Notes will
decline as the Japanese yen appreciates in value against
the Australian dollar. Moreover, the amount of interest
payable in respect of the Dual Currency Notes for any
Interest Period shall be zero if the AU$ FX Rate for any
such Interest Period is equal to or below 75.2614 Japanese
Yen per 1 Australian Dollar.
Holders of the Dual Currency Notes should be prepared
not to earn any interest on their principal.
Principal
The amount payable in respect of principal on any Dual
Currency Note at Maturity shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in Japanese Yen
(rounded to the nearest Yen) equal to the product of (i)
the Face Amount of the Dual Currency Note and (ii) the
quantity 1 plus a fraction having (x) a numerator equal to
the greater of (A) the quantity (US$ FX Rate (as defined
below) minus 121.0500) and (B) zero and (y) a denominator
equal to 121.0500.
"US$ FX Rate", with respect to Maturity, means the
number of Japanese Yen required to purchase one United
States Dollar, as determined by the Calculation Agent by
calculating the arithmetic mean (rounded to four decimal
places) of the bid and offer spot exchange rate between the
Japanese Yen and the United States Dollar, as displayed on
Reuters screen "JPNU", row "15:00" (or any successor row
and page thereto) at 3:00 p.m. (Tokyo time) on the tenth
Business Day preceding Maturity.
The following table sets forth, for the hypo-
thetical US$ FX Rates indicated, the amount of
principal that would be payable in respect of
4
<PAGE>
100,000,000 Japanese Yen Face Amount of the Dual Currency
Notes at Maturity. The information presented below is
furnished solely for purposes of illustration, and no
representation is made that any actual US$ FX Rate will be
equal to, or less than, or greater than, any of the
hypothetical US$ FX Rates indicated.

125.0000 103,263,114

145.0000 119,785,213
150.0000 123,915,737
The table above shows that the amount payable in
respect of principal on the Dual Currency Notes will vary
as the US$ FX Rate varies. In particular, the amount
payable in respect of principal on any Dual Currency Note
will be greater than the Face Amount of such Dual Currency
Note only if the US$ FX Rate in respect of Maturity is
greater than 121.0500 Japanese Yen per 1 U.S. Dollar.

The information set forth in this Pricing Supplement
relating to the exchange rates between the Japanese Yen and
each of the Australian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar is
furnished as a matter of information only. Significant and
unpredictable fluctuations in such exchange rates have
occurred in the past and it is impossible to predict the
magnitude, direction or frequency of any fluctuations in
such exchange rates that may occur during the term of the
Dual Currency Notes.
The exchange rate between the Japanese Yen and either
the Australian Dollar or the U.S. Dollar is at any moment a
result of the supply of and the demand for the two
currencies, and changes in the rate result over time from
the interaction of many factors directly or indirectly
affecting economic conditions in Japan and in Australia or
the United States, as the case may be, including economic
and political developments in other countries. Of
particular importance are rates of inflation, interest rate
levels, the balance of payments (both on capital and
current account) and the extent of governmental surpluses
or deficits in Japan and in Australia or the United States,
as the case may be, all of which are in turn sensitive to
the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the
governments of Japan, Australia or the United States, as
the case may be, and other countries important to
international trade and finance. In recent years, rates of
exchange between the Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar
and between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar have been
highly volatile.
