Treasury Inflation-Protected (TIPS) Auction Offerings

System availability and response time is subject to market conditions.

* Investors should be aware that many TIPS auctions are re-openings of existing TIPS. As a result the security will trade with accrued interest and accreted principal. The security may also be trading at a premium. This means that the amount required to settle the trade in your account may be more than the par amount of the trade. TIPS that are reopened issues will be identifiable by the "RI" symbol in the Attributes column in the table.

Investors should be aware that many Treasury and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS") auctions are re-openings of existing Treasury notes and TIPS. As a result the security will trade with accrued interest and, in the case of TIPSecurities, inflation compensation. The security may also be trading at a premium. This means that the amount required to settle the trade in your account may be more than the par amount of the trade. Treasuries that are reopened issues will be identifiable by the "RI" symbol in the Attributes column in the table.

When calculating the final dollar amount to purchase TIPS at Auction that are reopened issues, investors will need to use the price that has been adjusted for the Inflation Factor. Semiannual coupon payments for a given par amount of TIPS are calculated by multiplying the inflation-adjusted principal by the coupon rate.

Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government for the prompt payment of interest and principal at maturity.

Non-Competitive bids are limited to no more than $5 million in a bill, note or bond auction. A bidder bidding competitively for its own account may not bid non-competitively for its own account in the same auction. Prior to the designated closing time for receipt of competitive tenders, a non-competitive bidder may not enter into any agreement to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of the securities it is acquiring in the auction.

Discount yield is a yield equivalent based on the fact that Treasury bills are sold at a discount. Treasury Bill prices are approximate based on rounding and actual price may be slightly higher or lower.

There is a $19.95 fee on all Treasury auction orders placed through a Representative. However, U.S. Treasury auction orders placed online are free of charge.

Interest income generated by Treasury bonds and certain securities issued by U.S. territories, possessions, agencies, and instrumentalities is generally free from state income tax but is generally subject to federal income and alternative minimum taxes and may be subject to state alternative minimum taxes. Short- and long-term capital gains and gains characterized as market discount recognized when bonds are sold or mature are generally taxable at both the state and federal level.
