            This Note is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture
hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository named
below or a nominee of the Depository. This Note is not exchangeable for Notes
registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository or its nominee
except in the limited circumstances described herein and in the Indenture, and
no transfer of this Note (other than a transfer of this Note as a whole by the
Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to
the Depository or another nominee of the Depository) may be registered except in
the limited circumstances described herein.

            Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (the "Depository"), to
the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and
any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other
name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any
payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an
authorized representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

            CITIGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company", which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
$___________ on June 9, 2009 and to pay interest thereon from and including June
9, 2004 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, quarterly, on March 9, June 9, September 9 and
December 9 of each year, commencing September 9, 2004, at the rate per annum for
each Interest Period of three-month LIBOR, determined as provided herein, plus
0.14% until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for
such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date.

<PAGE>

            Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will
forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such Record Date and may either
be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of
business on a subsequent Record Date, such subsequent Record Date to be not less
than five days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest, notice
whereof shall be given to holders of Notes of this series not less than 15 days
prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

            Interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed in an Interest Period and a 360-day year. Dollar amounts
resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with
one-half cent being rounded upward. An "Interest Period" shall be the period
from and including an Interest Payment Date (or from June 9, 2004 in the case of
the first Interest Payment Date) to and including the day immediately preceding
the next Interest Payment Date.

            If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day. If the
Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due
on Maturity will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no
further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement. If a date for
payment of interest or principal on the Notes falls on a day that is not a
business day in the place of payment, such payment will be made on the next
succeeding business day in such place of payment as if made on the date the
payment was due. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable for the period
from and after the due date for payment of such principal or interest.

            For these purposes, "Business Day" means any day which is a day on
which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business in The
City of New York.

            Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made
at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The City
of New York.

            Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

            Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual
signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

<PAGE>

            This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company (the "Notes"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the
Indenture, dated as of March 15, 1987 (as amended and supplemented to date, the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes
and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof,
initially limited in aggregate principal to $650,000,000.

            This Note will bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate
determined by Citibank, N.A., acting as Calculation Agent. The interest rate on
this Note for a particular Interest Period will be a per annum rate equal to
LIBOR as determined on the related Interest Determination Date. The Interest
Determination Date for an Interest Period will be the second London business day
preceding such Interest Period. The Interest Determination Date for the first
Interest Period was June 7, 2004. Promptly upon determination, the Calculation
Agent will inform the Trustee and the Company of the interest rate for the next
Interest Period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rate
by the Calculation Agent shall be binding and conclusive on the holders of
Notes, the Trustee and the Company.

            A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S.
dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

            On any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be equal to the
offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three
months for the next Interest Period, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such
rate appears on Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such Interest Determination Date. If the Telerate Page 3750 is replaced by
another service or ceases to exist, the Calculation Agent will use the replacing
service or such other service that may be nominated by the British Bankers'
Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for
U.S. dollar deposits.

            If no offered rate appears on Telerate Page 3750 on an Interest
Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) will select four major
banks in the London interbank market and shall request each of their principal
London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits
in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime
banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is
representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations
are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided.
Otherwise, the Calculation Agent will select three major banks in New York City
and shall request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by
them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest
Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an
index maturity of three months for the applicable Interest Period in an amount
of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that
time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average

                                       5

<PAGE>

of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next Interest
Period will be set equal to the rate of LIBOR for the current Interest Period.

            The Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall be notified of the interest
rate, the amount of the interest payment and the Interest Payment Date for a
particular Interest Period not later than the first day of such Interest Period.
Upon request from any Noteholder, the Calculation Agent will provide the
interest rate in effect on this Note for the current Interest Period and, if it
has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest
Period.

            If an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to
Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture.

            The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the
entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth in Sections 11.03 and 11.04 thereof, which provisions apply
to this Note.

            The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, to establish,
among other things, the form and terms of any series of Securities issuable
thereunder by one or more supplemental indentures, and, with the consent of the
holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Securities at
the time outstanding which are affected thereby, to modify the Indenture or any
supplemental indenture or the rights of the holders of Securities of such series
to be affected, provided that no such modification will (i) extend the fixed
maturity of any Securities, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any,
thereon, reduce the amount of the principal of Original Issue Discount
Securities payable on any date, change the currency in which Securities are
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the maturity thereof, without the consent of the holder of
each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities
of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such
modification without the consent of the holders of all Securities of such series
then outstanding, or (iii) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee,
the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee.

            No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note
at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

            This Note is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee
of the Depository. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the name of
a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole
or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository
or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the
Depository.

                                       6

<PAGE>

            The Notes represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for
definitive Notes in certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof only if (i) the
Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for the Notes or (ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the
Company in its sole discretion decides to allow the Notes to be exchanged for
definitive Notes in registered form. Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to
the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Notes issuable in
authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository shall
direct. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of definitive Notes in certificated form is registrable
in the register maintained by the Company in The City of New York for such
purpose, upon surrender of the definitive Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
registrar duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the
foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global
Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee.

            No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

            Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

            The Company will pay additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") to
the beneficial owner of any Note that is a non-United States person in order to
ensure that every net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of
U.S. withholding tax, than the amount then due and payable. For this purpose, a
"net payment" on a Note means a payment by the Company or a paying agent,
including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or
future tax, assessment or other governmental charge of the United States. These
Additional Amounts will constitute additional interest on the Note.

            The Company will not be required to pay Additional Amounts, however,
in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (13) below.

            (1)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by
                  reason of the beneficial owner:

                  (a)   having a relationship with the United States as a
                        citizen, resident or otherwise;

                                       7

<PAGE>

                  (b)   having had such a relationship in the past or

                  (c)   being considered as having had such a relationship.

            (2)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by
                  reason of the beneficial owner:

                  (a)   being treated as present in or engaged in a trade or
                        business in the United States;

                  (b)   being treated as having been present in or engaged in a
                        trade or business in the United States in the past or

                  (c)   having or having had a permanent establishment in the
                        United States.

            (3)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by
                  reason of the beneficial owner being or having been any of the
                  following (as such terms are defined in the Internal Revenue
                  Code of 1986, as amended):

                  (a)   personal holding company;

                  (b)   foreign personal holding company;

                  (c)   foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt
                        organization;

                  (d)   passive foreign investment company;

                  (e)   controlled foreign corporation or

                  (f)   corporation which has accumulated earnings to avoid
                        United States federal income tax.

            (4)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by
                  reason of the beneficial owner owning or having owned,
                  actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total
                  combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
                  entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a
                  bank that has invested in a Note as an extension of credit in
                  the ordinary course of its trade or business.

For purposes of items (1) through (4) above, "beneficial owner" means a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the
holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation
or other entity, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust
administered by a fiduciary holder.

            (5)   Additional Amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner
                  of a Note that is a:

                  (a)   fiduciary;

                  (b)   partnership;

                  (c)   limited liability company or

                                       8

<PAGE>

                  (d)   other fiscally transparent entity

                  or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or any
                  portion of the Note. However, this exception to the obligation
                  to pay Additional Amounts will only apply to the extent that a
                  beneficiary or settlor in relation to the fiduciary, or a
                  beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited
                  liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would
                  not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount
                  had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member
                  received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the
                  payment.

            (6)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by
                  reason of the failure of the beneficial owner or any other
                  person to comply with applicable certification,
                  identification, documentation or other information reporting
                  requirements. This exception to the obligation to pay
                  Additional Amounts will only apply if compliance with such
                  reporting requirements is required by statute or regulation of
                  the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to
                  which the United States is a party as a precondition to
                  exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental
                  charge.

            (7)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is collected or imposed by any method
                  other than by withholding from a payment on a Note by the
                  Company or a paying agent.

            (8)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of a
                  change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial
                  interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after
                  the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever
                  occurs later.

            (9)   Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other
                  governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of
                  the presentation by the beneficial owner of a Note for payment
                  more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes
                  due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later.

            (10)  Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note
                  is reduced as a result of any:

            (12)  Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note

            Except as provided below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to
maturity.

            (1)   The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes if:

                  (a)   the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay
                        Additional Amounts as described above;

                                       10

<PAGE>

                  (b)   the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises as a
                        result of any change in the laws, regulations or rulings
                        of the United States, or an official position regarding
                        the application or interpretation of such laws,
                        regulations or rulings, which change is announced or
                        becomes effective on or after June 2, 2004 and

                  (c)   the Company determines, in its business judgment, that
                        the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be
                        avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
                        it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes
                        or taking any action that would entail a material cost
                        to the Company.

            (2)   The Company may also redeem the Notes, at its option, if:

                  (a)   any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United
                        States on or after June 2, 2004, whether or not such act
                        is taken in relation to the Company or any affiliate,
                        that results in a substantial probability that the
                        Company will or may be required to pay Additional
                        Amounts as described above;

                  (b)   the Company determines, in its business judgment, that
                        the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be
                        avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
                        it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes
                        or taking any action that would entail a material cost
                        to the Company and

                  (c)   the Company receives an opinion of independent counsel
                        to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of
                        the United States results in a substantial probability
                        that the Company will or may be required to pay the
                        Additional Amounts described above, and delivers to the
                        Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized
                        officer, stating that based on such opinion the Company
                        is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms.

Any redemption of the Notes as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be in
whole, and not in part, and will be made at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon to
the date of redemption. Holders shall be given not less than 30 days nor more
than 60 days prior notice by the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption.

            All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Notes are governed by
the laws of the State of New York.
