The securities offer thepotential for periodic contingent coupon payments at an annualized rate that, if all are paid, would produce a yield that is generally higher than the yield on our conventional debt securitiesof the same maturity. In exchange for this higher potential yield, you must be willing to accept the risks that (i) your actual yield may be lower than the yield on our conventional debtsecurities of the same maturity because you may not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments, (ii) the value of what you receive at maturity may be significantly less thanthe stated principal amount of your securities, and may be zero, and (iii) the securities may be automatically called for redemption prior to maturity beginning on the first potential autocalldate specified below. Each of these risks will depend solely on the performance of theworst performingof the underlyings specified below.▪ You will be subject to risks associated with each of the underlyings and will be negatively affected by adverse movements inany one of the underlyings. Although you will have downsideexposure to the worst performing underlying, you will not receive dividends with respect to any underlying or participate in any appreciation of any underlying.▪ All payments due on the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.

If theclosing value of the worst performing underlying on one or more valuation dates is less than its coupon barrier value and, on asubsequent valuation date, the closing value of the worst performing underlying on that subsequent valuation date is greater than orequal to its coupon barrier value, your contingent coupon payment for that subsequent valuation date will include all previously unpaidcontingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid). However, if the closing value of the worst performingunderlying on a valuation date is less than its coupon barrier value and the closing value of the worst performing underlying on eachsubsequent valuation date up to and including the final valuation date is less than its coupon barrier value, you will not receive theunpaid contingent coupon payments in respect of those valuation dates.
