<br> **PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT** 

**(to prospectus dated May 11, 2021)** 

**1,250,000 Depositary Shares** 

**Each Representing a 1/25th Interest in a Share of** 

**7.375% Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series Z**![LOGO](g452108g29s17.jpg)

------

Citigroup Inc. is offering 1,250,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/25th interest in a share of perpetual 7.375% Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series Z, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 liquidation preference per depositary share) (the "Preferred Stock"). Each depositary share, evidenced by a depositary receipt, entitles the holder, through the depositary, to a proportional fractional interest in all rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption, and liquidation rights).

Citigroup will pay cash dividends on the Preferred Stock, only when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of Citigroup, or a duly authorized committee of the board, out of funds legally available to pay dividends, on the 15th of each February, May, August and November (each, a "dividend payment date") (i) from, and including, the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, May 15, 2028, at an annual rate of 7.375% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $73.75 per depositary share per year), quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2023, and (ii) from, and including, May 15, 2028, for each reset period, at an annual rate equal to the five-year treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as described in "Description of the Preferred Stock — Dividends" below) plus 3.209% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2028. Payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock is subject to certain legal, regulatory and other restrictions as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative.

Citigroup may redeem the Preferred Stock (i) in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after May 15, 2028 or (ii) in whole but not in part at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined on page S-17), in each case at a cash redemption price equal to $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share) plus any declared and unpaid dividends, and without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Citigroup redeems the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportionate number of depositary shares. Under current rules and regulations, Citigroup would need regulatory approval to redeem the Preferred Stock.

The Preferred Stock will not have voting rights, except in the limited circumstances described in "Description of the Preferred Stock — Voting Rights" beginning on page S-18 and as specifically required by Delaware law.

The depositary shares will not be listed on any securities exchange.

**Investing in the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock involves a number of risks. See the "[Risk Factors](#supp452108_2)" section beginning on page S-7, where specific risks associated with the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock are described and the factors listed and described under "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, along with the other information in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before you make your investment decision.** 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Neither the depositary shares nor the Preferred Stock are deposits or savings accounts. These securities are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

**Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors.** Neither the depositary shares nor the Preferred Stock are intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 ("Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

**MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market.** The target market for the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock is (i) eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Preferred Stock to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate.

**Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors.** Neither the depositary shares nor the Preferred Stock are intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MiFIR"); or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

**UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market.** Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Preferred Stock to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not an offer to sell these securities and are not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted or where the person making the offer or sale is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is not permitted to make such offer or sale. See "Underwriting."

References in this prospectus supplement to "dollars", "$" and "U.S. $" are to United States dollars.

**SUMMARY** 

*This summary provides a brief overview of the key aspects of the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to understand fully the terms of the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock, as well as the tax and other considerations that are important to you in making a decision about whether to invest in the depositary shares. You should pay special attention to the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement to determine whether an investment in the depositary shares is appropriate for you.*

**Securities Offered** 

Citigroup is offering 1,250,000 depositary shares representing fractional interests in 50,000 shares of the Preferred Stock ($1,250,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference), with each share of the Preferred Stock having a par value of $1.00 and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share. Each depositary share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 liquidation preference per depositary share). Each depositary share entitles the holder, through the depositary, to a proportional fractional interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, including dividend, voting, redemption, and liquidation rights.

Citigroup may elect from time to time to issue additional depositary shares representing interests in additional shares of the Preferred Stock without notice to, or consent from, the existing holders of depositary shares, and all those additional depositary shares would be deemed to form a single series with the depositary shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

**Dividends** 

Citigroup will pay cash dividends on the Preferred Stock, only when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of Citigroup, or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors, out of funds legally available to pay dividends, on the 15th of each February, May, August and November (each date for payment of dividends, a "dividend payment date") (i) from, and including, the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, May 15, 2028 (the "First Reset Date"), at an annual rate of 7.375% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $73.75 per depositary share per year), quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2023, and (ii) from, and including, the First Reset Date, for each reset period, at an annual rate equal to the five-year treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as described in "Description of the Preferred Stock — Dividends" below) plus 3.209% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2028. A "reset period" means the period from, and including, each reset date to, but excluding, the next succeeding reset date, except for the initial reset period, which will be the period from, and including, the First Reset Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding reset date. A "reset date" means the First Reset Date and each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date, and "reset dividend determination date" means, in respect of any reset period, the day that is three business days prior to the beginning of such reset period.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative and will not be mandatory. If a dividend is not declared on the Preferred Stock for any dividend period prior to the related dividend payment date, then no dividend will accrue or accumulate for such dividend period, and Citigroup will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that dividend period on the related dividend payment date or at any time in the future, whether or not dividends are declared for any future dividend period. "Dividend period" means the period from, and including, each dividend payment date to, but excluding, the next succeeding dividend payment date, except for the initial dividend period, which will be the period from, and including, the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, the first dividend payment date. If a dividend on the Preferred Stock is declared for any

dividend period, such dividend will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
months, and if any dividend payment date is not a business day, then payment of any dividend payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding business day, and without any additional dividend accrual, or other payment in respect of any such postponement.

**Optional Redemption** 

The Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. Citigroup may redeem the Preferred Stock in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after the First Reset Date or in whole but not in part at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined on page S-17), in each case at a cash redemption price equal to $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share) plus any declared and unpaid dividends and without accumulation of any undeclared dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Citigroup redeems the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportionate number of depositary shares. If the redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, payment will be made on the next succeeding business day and without any additional dividend accrual or other payment in respect of any such postponement.

Redemption of the Preferred Stock will be subject to receipt of any required prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Federal Reserve"), or any successor appropriate federal banking agency. Under the Federal Reserve's current capital rules, Citigroup would need prior regulatory approval to redeem the Preferred Stock. Neither the holders of the Preferred Stock nor the holders of the depositary shares will have the right to require redemption.

**Liquidation Rights** 

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of funds legally available for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Citigroup common stock or any other shares of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to such distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidating distribution of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any dividends thereon from the last dividend payment date to, but excluding, the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, but only if and to the extent declared. Distributions will be made only to the extent of assets remaining available after satisfaction of all liabilities to creditors, subject to the rights of holders of any securities ranking senior to the Preferred Stock as to such distribution, and pro rata among holders of the Preferred Stock and any other shares of Citigroup stock ranking equally as to such distribution.

**Voting Rights** 

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have voting rights, except (i) as specifically required by Delaware law; (ii) in the case of certain dividend non-payments; (iii) with respect to the issuance of senior capital stock of Citigroup; and (iv) with respect to changes to Citigroup's organizational documents that would adversely affect the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Stock. Holders of depositary shares must act through the depositary to exercise any voting rights. For more information about voting rights, see "Description of the Preferred Stock — Voting Rights" beginning on page S-18 and "Description of the Depositary Shares — Voting the Preferred Stock" on page S-22.

**Ranking** 

The Preferred Stock will rank senior to Citigroup's common stock as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Preferred Stock will rank senior to Citigroup's common stock as to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
payment of dividends to the extent set forth in the instrument creating the Preferred Stock, which provides that if, as to any dividend payment date, full dividends on the Preferred Stock are not declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those dividends has been set aside, Citigroup will not, during the following dividend period that commences on such dividend payment date, declare or pay any dividend on its common stock. The Preferred Stock will rank equally with Citigroup's outstanding 5.950% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 5.90% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), 5.350% Fixed Rate/ Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series D (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), 7.125% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series J (the "Series J Preferred Stock"), 6.875% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series K (the "Series K Preferred Stock"), 6.300% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series M (the "Series M Preferred Stock"), 5.950% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series P (the "Series P Preferred Stock"), 6.250% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series T (the "Series T Preferred Stock"), 5.000% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series U (the "Series U Preferred Stock"), 4.700% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series V (the "Series V Preferred Stock"), 4.000% Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series W (the "Series W Preferred Stock"), 3.875% Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series X (the "Series X Preferred Stock") and 4.150% Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series Y (the "Series Y Preferred Stock") as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup.

Citigroup generally will be able to make distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up only out of funds legally available for such payment (*i.e.*, after taking account of all indebtedness and other senior claims) and pro rata as to the Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series J Preferred Stock, the Series K Preferred Stock, the Series M Preferred Stock, the Series P Preferred Stock, the Series T Preferred Stock, the Series U Preferred Stock, the Series V Preferred Stock, the Series W Preferred Stock, the Series X Preferred Stock, the Series Y Preferred Stock and any other stock ranking on parity with the Preferred Stock.

**Preemptive and Conversion Rights** 

The holders of the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive or conversion rights.

**U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations** 

Under current law, dividends paid to individual U.S. holders generally will be taxable at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains subject to certain conditions and limitations. Dividends paid to corporate U.S. holders generally will be eligible for the dividends received deduction, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Dividends paid to non-U.S. holders generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. For more information, see "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" beginning on page S-25.

**Depositary, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent, and Registrar** 

Computershare Inc. ("Computershare") and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare Trust"), acting jointly, will serve as depositary. Computershare Trust will serve as transfer agent, registrar and calculation agent.

**Conflicts of Interest** 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the sole book-running manager for this offering, is a subsidiary of Citigroup. Accordingly, the offering of the depositary shares will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. See "Underwriting — Conflicts of Interest" beginning on page S-31.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**RISK FACTORS** 

*Your investment in the depositary shares and the Preferred Stock will involve several risks. You should carefully consider the following discussion of risks, the other information in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, and the factors listed under "Forward-Looking Statements" in Citigroup's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K") and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and described under "Risk Factors" in Citigroup's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K before deciding whether an investment in the securities is suitable for you.* 

**The Preferred Stock is an equity security and is subordinate to existing and future indebtedness of Citigroup.** 

Shares of the Preferred Stock are equity interests in Citigroup and do not constitute indebtedness. This means that the Preferred Stock and the depositary shares, which represent proportional fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock, will rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness of Citigroup and to other non-equity claims on Citigroup with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on Citigroup, including claims in liquidation. Moreover, as described in detail below under "If Citigroup is deferring payments on outstanding junior subordinated debt securities or is in default under the indentures governing those securities, Citigroup will be prohibited from making distributions on or redeeming the Preferred Stock," Citigroup has existing indebtedness that restricts payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock in certain circumstances and Citigroup may issue additional indebtedness with similarly restrictive terms in the future.

Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest customarily are payable on specified due dates, in the case of preferred stock such as the Preferred Stock, (1) dividends are payable only when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board, (2) dividends will not accumulate if they are not declared, and (3) as a Delaware corporation, Citigroup is subject to restrictions on dividend payments and redemption payments out of lawfully available funds. Further, the Preferred Stock places no restrictions on the business or operations of Citigroup or on its ability to incur additional indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject only to the limited voting rights referred to below under "Holders of the Preferred Stock will have limited voting rights." Also, as a bank holding company, Citigroup's ability to declare and pay dividends depends on a number of federal regulatory considerations.

**Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and noncumulative and may not be paid if such payment will result in Citigroup's failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.** 

Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and noncumulative. Consequently, if the board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board does not authorize and declare a dividend for any dividend period, holders of the Preferred Stock would not be entitled to receive a dividend for that dividend period, and the unpaid dividend will not accrue, accumulate or be payable at any future time. Citigroup will have no obligation to pay dividends for a dividend period after the dividend payment date for that dividend period if the board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board has not declared a dividend before the related dividend payment date, regardless of whether dividends on the Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock or common stock are declared for any future period.

In addition, if payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock for any dividend period would cause Citigroup to fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation (including applicable capital adequacy rules), Citigroup will not pay a dividend for such dividend period. In such a case, holders of the depositary shares will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that dividend period, and no dividend will accrue, accumulate or be payable for that dividend period.

Under the Federal Reserve's capital rules, dividends on the Preferred Stock may only be paid out of Citigroup's net income, retained earnings or surplus related to other additional tier 1 capital instruments. Citigroup's risk-based capital requirements include a fixed 2.5% capital conservation buffer under the Federal Reserve's Advanced Approaches capital framework, and a variable stress capital buffer ("SCB") under its standardized risk-based capital rules. In addition, the Federal Reserve's capital rules include a surcharge for U.S. global systemically important banks ("G-SIBs"), such as Citigroup. The Federal Reserve's capital rules also include a countercyclical capital buffer, which is currently set at zero. The buffers and surcharge can be satisfied

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
only with common equity tier 1 capital. If Citigroup's risk-based capital ratios do not satisfy minimum requirements plus the capital conservation buffer or SCB, as applicable, as well as the G-SIB surcharge (and the countercyclical capital buffer, when in effect), Citigroup will face graduated constraints on, among other things, capital distributions (including dividends on the Preferred Stock) based on the amount of the shortfall. As a G-SIB, Citigroup is also subject to a supplementary leverage ratio and related buffer, which must consist only of tier 1 capital, and breaching this buffer will similarly result in graduated constraints on, among other things, capital distributions based on the amount of the shortfall. The Federal Reserve has also adopted rules to establish total loss-absorbing capacity ("TLAC") requirements for U.S. G-SIBs. The TLAC rules also require U.S. G-SIBs to maintain a buffer to the minimum TLAC requirement, which must consist only of common equity tier 1 capital, and breaching this buffer would likewise result in graduated constraints on, among other things, capital distributions (including dividends on the Preferred Stock) based on the amount of the shortfall.

**If Citigroup is deferring payments on outstanding junior subordinated debt securities or is in default under the indentures governing those securities, Citigroup will be prohibited from making distributions on or redeeming the Preferred Stock.** 

Under the terms of its outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (referred to as "junior subordinated debt securities"), Citigroup is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock, or redeeming, purchasing, acquiring, or making a liquidation payment on the Preferred Stock, if a default under the indenture governing those junior subordinated debt securities (or under the corresponding guarantee) has occurred and is continuing or at any time when Citigroup is deferring payments of interest on those junior subordinated debt securities. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Citigroup has two series of junior subordinated debt securities outstanding with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of approximately $2.4 billion, with maturities ranging from 2036 to 2040.

Without notice to, or consent from, the holders of the Preferred Stock, Citigroup may also issue additional series of junior subordinated debt securities or other securities in the future with terms similar to its existing junior subordinated debt securities. The terms of Citigroup's existing junior subordinated debt securities and any future securities could result in dividends on the Preferred Stock not being paid to you or the Preferred Stock not being redeemed.

**Citigroup's ability to pay dividends depends upon the results of operations of its subsidiaries.** 

Citigroup is a holding company that conducts substantially all operations through its banking and other subsidiaries. As a result, Citigroup's ability to make dividend payments on the Preferred Stock depends primarily upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries. There are various regulatory restrictions on the ability of Citigroup's banking and securities subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to Citigroup.

In addition, Citigroup's right to participate in any distribution of assets of any of its subsidiaries upon the subsidiary's liquidation or otherwise, and thus your ability as a holder of the depositary shares to benefit indirectly from such distribution, will be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that any of Citigroup's claims as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized. As a result, the depositary shares effectively will be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of Citigroup's subsidiaries.

**Citigroup's right to redeem the Preferred Stock is subject to certain limitations.** 

Citigroup's right to redeem the Preferred Stock is subject to limitations established by the Federal Reserve's regulations and guidance applicable to bank holding companies. Under current risk-based capital rules, any redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve or other appropriate federal banking agency as required under capital rules applicable to Citigroup. Citigroup cannot assure you that the Federal Reserve will concur with or approve any redemption of the Preferred Stock that Citigroup may propose. The Federal Reserve has indicated that the factors it will consider in evaluating a proposed redemption include (i) its evaluation of the overall level and quality of Citigroup's capital components, considered in light of our risk exposures, earnings and growth strategy, (ii) the capital plans and stress tests that Citigroup submits to the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Federal Reserve and (iii) Citigroup's ability to meet and exceed minimum regulatory capital ratios under baseline and stressed conditions, and other supervisory considerations, although the Federal Reserve may change these factors at any time.

**Citigroup may be able to redeem the Preferred Stock prior to the First Reset Date.** 

By its terms, the Preferred Stock may be redeemed by Citigroup prior to the First Reset Date upon the occurrence of certain events involving the capital treatment of the Preferred Stock. In particular, upon Citigroup's determination in good faith that an event has occurred that would constitute a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined on page S-17), Citigroup may, at its option, redeem in whole but not in part the shares of the Preferred Stock, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve or any successor appropriate federal banking agency. See "Description of the Preferred Stock — Optional Redemption" beginning on page S-16.

Although the terms of the Preferred Stock have been established to satisfy the criteria for "tier 1 capital" instruments consistent with Basel III as set forth in the Federal Reserve's capital rules applicable to bank holding companies, it is possible that the Preferred Stock may not satisfy the criteria set forth in these rules as a result of official administrative or judicial decisions, actions or pronouncements interpreting those rules and announced after the issuance of the Preferred Stock, or as a result of future changes in law or regulation. As a result, a Regulatory Capital Event could occur whereby Citigroup would have the right, subject to prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency, to redeem the Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms prior to the First Reset Date at a cash redemption price equal to $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, and without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

**The Preferred Stock may be junior in rights and preferences to future Preferred Stock.** 

The Preferred Stock may be junior to preferred stock Citigroup issues in the future, which by its terms is expressly senior to the Preferred Stock. The terms of any future preferred stock expressly senior to the Preferred Stock may restrict dividend payments on the Preferred Stock. In this case, unless full dividends for all outstanding preferred stock senior to the Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set aside for payment, no dividends will be declared or paid and no distribution will be made on any shares of the Preferred Stock, and no shares of the Preferred Stock will be permitted to be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by Citigroup, directly or indirectly, for consideration. This could result in dividends on the Preferred Stock not being paid to you or the Preferred Stock not being redeemed.

**Holders of the Preferred Stock will have limited voting rights.** 

Holders of the Preferred Stock have no voting rights with respect to matters that generally require the approval of voting common stockholders. Holders of the Preferred Stock will have voting rights only (i) as specifically required by Delaware law, (ii) in the case of certain dividend non-payments, (iii) with respect to the issuance of senior capital stock of Citigroup, and (iv) with respect to changes to Citigroup's organizational documents that would materially adversely affect the voting powers, preferences, economic rights or special rights of the Preferred Stock.

Moreover, holders of depositary shares must act through the depositary to exercise any voting rights of the Preferred Stock. Although each depositary share is entitled to 1/25th of a vote, the depositary can only vote whole shares of the Preferred Stock. While the depositary will vote the maximum number of whole shares of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the instructions it receives, any remaining votes of holders of the depositary shares will not be voted. For more information about voting rights, see "Description of the Preferred Stock — Voting Rights" beginning on page S-18 and "Description of the Depositary Shares — Voting the Preferred Stock" on page S-22.

**There may be no trading market for the depositary shares.** 

The depositary shares are new issues of securities with no established trading market and will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although Citigroup has been advised that the underwriters intend to make a trading

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
market in the depositary shares, the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time at their sole discretion. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of or trading markets for the depositary shares.

**You are making an investment decision about the depositary shares as well as the Preferred Stock.** 

As described in this prospectus supplement, Citigroup is issuing fractional interests in shares of the Preferred Stock. Those fractional interests take the form of depositary shares. The depositary will rely solely on the dividend payments on the Preferred Stock it receives from Citigroup to fund all dividend payments on the depositary shares. You should review carefully the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding Citigroup's depositary shares and the Preferred Stock.

**The historical five-year treasury rates are not an indication of future five-year treasury rates.** 

In the past, five-year treasury rates have experienced significant fluctuations. You should note that historical levels, fluctuations and trends of five-year treasury rates are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in five-year treasury rates is not an indication that five-year treasury rates are more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time before or after the First Reset Date, and you should not take the historical five-year treasury rates as an indication of future rates.

**The dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will be calculated using a substitute or successor rate selected by Citigroup if the five-year treasury rate cannot be determined on any reset dividend determination date.**

If the five-year treasury rate cannot be determined as described under "Description of the Preferred Stock —Dividends," Citigroup (or an affiliate) may use a substitute or successor rate that it has determined, in its sole discretion after consulting with any source it deems to be reasonable, to be the industry-accepted substitute or successor rate, or, if there is no such industry-accepted substitute or successor rate, a substitute or successor rate that is most comparable to the five-year treasury rate. Citigroup (or such affiliate) also will determine, in its sole discretion after consulting with any source it deems to be reasonable, any adjustments to the relevant methodology or definition for calculating such substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such substitute or successor rate comparable to the five-year treasury rate, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor rate.

The interests of Citigroup (or its affiliate) in making the determinations described above may be adverse to your interests as a holder of the depositary shares. The selection of a substitute or successor rate, and any decisions made by Citigroup (or such affiliate) in connection with implementing such substitute or successor rate, could result in adverse consequences to the applicable dividend payment on the Preferred Stock, which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the depositary shares. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any substitute or successor rate will be similar to the five-year treasury rate or that any substitute or successor rate will produce the economic equivalent of the five-year treasury rate.

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

Certain statements in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in other information incorporated by reference are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent Citigroup's and its management's beliefs regarding future events.

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $1,231,025,000, after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes, which may include the partial or full redemption of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and repurchases and redemptions of other outstanding securities of Citigroup and its subsidiaries, including Citigroup common stock and other series of Citigroup preferred stock. This prospectus supplement does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock or any other outstanding series of Citigroup preferred stock nor an obligation to issue a notice of redemption for the Series B preferred stock or any other outstanding series of Citigroup preferred stock. Any such notice, if given, will only be given in accordance with the provisions of such outstanding series of preferred stock, as applicable.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK** 

*The Preferred Stock will be issued pursuant to the terms of a certificate of designations that amends the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Citigroup Inc. The terms of the Preferred Stock will include those stated in the certificate of designations, which will be filed as an exhibit on a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are a part. The following summary of the material terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock is not intended to be complete and is qualified by the certificate of designations and supplements the description of the general terms of Citigroup Preferred Stock set forth in the accompanying prospectus. It is important for you to consider the information contained in the accompanying prospectus and this prospectus supplement before making your decision to invest in the depositary shares representing interests in the Preferred Stock. If any specific information regarding the Preferred Stock in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the more general terms of the Preferred Stock described in the prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement.* 

**General** 

Shares of the Preferred Stock represent a single series of Citigroup authorized preferred stock. By this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, Citigroup is offering 1,250,000 depositary shares representing fractional interests in 50,000 shares of the Preferred Stock ($1,250,000,000 aggregate liquidation preference), with each share of the Preferred Stock having a par value of $1.00 and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share. Each depositary share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 liquidation preference per depositary share). Each depositary share entitles the holder, through the depositary, to a proportional fractional interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, including dividend, voting, redemption, and liquidation rights.

Citigroup may elect from time to time to issue additional depositary shares representing interests in additional shares of the Preferred Stock without notice to, or consent from, the existing holders of depositary shares, and all those additional depositary shares would be deemed to form a single series with the depositary shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Holders of the Preferred Stock have no preemptive rights. Shares of the Preferred Stock, upon issuance against full payment of the purchase price for the Preferred Stock, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The depositary will be the sole holder of shares of the Preferred Stock. The holders of depositary shares will be required to exercise their proportional rights in the Preferred Stock through the depositary, as described in "Description of the Depositary Shares" beginning on page S-21.

The Preferred Stock will rank senior to Citigroup common stock and any other stock that is expressly made junior to the Preferred Stock, as to distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup. Further, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, Citigroup has thirteen series of preferred stock outstanding, all of which is parity stock, as described under "Summary — Ranking" beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and "Description of Capital Stock — Preferred Stock" beginning on page 59 of the accompanying prospectus. As used in this prospectus supplement, "parity stock" means any other class or series of Citigroup capital stock that ranks equally with the Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup. In addition, Citigroup may from time to time, without notice to, or consent from, the holders of the Preferred Stock, create and issue additional series of preferred stock ranking equally with or junior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup.

The Preferred Stock will not be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Citigroup common stock or any other class or series of Citigroup stock or other securities and will not be subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of Citigroup to redeem or repurchase the Preferred Stock.

**Dividends** 

Dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock will not be mandatory and will not accumulate. Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive noncumulative cash dividends only when, as, and if declared by the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board, out of funds legally available for payment of dividends, on the 15th of each February, May, August and November (each, a "dividend payment date"), (i) from, and including, the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, May 15, 2028 (the "First Reset Date"), at an annual rate of 7.375% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $73.75 per depositary share per year), quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2023, and (ii) from, and including, the First Reset Date, for each reset period, at an annual rate equal to the five-year treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as described below) plus 3.209% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, beginning on August 15, 2028. Citigroup will pay dividends to the holders of record of shares of the Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register on each record date, not less than 10 or more than 30 days before the applicable dividend payment date, as shall be fixed by the board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board.

A "reset period" means the period from, and including, each reset date to, but excluding, the next succeeding reset date, except for the initial reset period, which will be the period from, and including, the First Reset Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding reset date. A "reset date" means the First Reset Date and each date falling on the fifth anniversary of the preceding reset date, and no reset date, including the First Reset Date, will be adjusted for business days. A "reset dividend determination date" means, in respect of any reset period, the day that is three business days prior to the beginning of such reset period.

For any reset period beginning on or after the First Reset Date, the five-year treasury rate will be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The average of the yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity, for
five-year maturities, for the five business days appearing under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities" in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15 Daily Update or any successor publication which is published by
the Federal Reserve Board as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) as of any date of determination, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If no calculation is provided as described above, then Citigroup (or such affiliate) will use a substitute or
successor rate that it has determined, in its sole discretion after consulting any source it deems to be reasonable, is (i) the industry-accepted substitute or successor for the five-year treasury rate or (ii) if there is no such industry-accepted
substitute or successor for the five-year treasury rate, a substitute or successor rate that is most comparable to the five-year treasury rate. Upon selection of a substitute or successor rate, Citigroup (or such affiliate) may determine, in its
sole discretion after consulting any source it deems to be reasonable, the day count convention, the business day convention, the definition of business day, the reset dividend determination date and any other relevant methodology or definition for
calculating such substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such substitute or successor rate comparable to the five-year treasury rate, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted
practices for such substitute or successor rate.

The five-year treasury rate will be determined on each reset dividend determination date.

With respect to any dividend period, any dividends on the Preferred Stock will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and "dividend period" means the period from, and including, each dividend payment date to, but excluding, the next succeeding dividend payment date, except for the initial dividend period, which will be the period from, and including, the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, the first dividend payment date. In the event that any dividend payment date is not a business day, then payment of any dividend payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding business day and without any additional dividend accrual or other payment in respect of any such postponement. A "business day" means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) pursuant to the provisions described above, including any determination with respect to tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, will be made in Citigroup's (or such affiliate's) sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this prospectus supplement or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the accompanying prospectus, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the depositary shares or any other party.

All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the dividend rate will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward. All currency amounts used in, or resulting from, the calculation on the depositary shares or Preferred Stock will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit. For purposes of rounding, .005 of a unit shall be rounded upward.

Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If a dividend is not declared on the Preferred Stock for any dividend period prior to the related dividend payment date, then no dividend will accrue or accumulate for such dividend period, and Citigroup will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that dividend period on the related dividend payment date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock or common stock are declared for any future period. References to the "accrual" of dividends in this prospectus supplement refer only to the determination of the amount of such dividend and do not imply that any right to a dividend arises prior to the date on which a dividend is declared.

Dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock that are redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date, as described below under "Description of the Preferred Stock — Optional Redemption" beginning on page S-16, unless Citigroup defaults in the payment of the redemption price of the shares of the Preferred Stock called for redemption.

Under the terms of its junior subordinated debt securities, Citigroup is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions on preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock, if a default under the indenture governing those junior subordinated debt securities (or under the corresponding guarantee) has occurred and is continuing or at any time when Citigroup is deferring payments of interest on those junior subordinated debt securities. See "Risk Factors — If Citigroup is deferring payments on outstanding junior subordinated debt securities or is in default under the indentures governing those securities, Citigroup will be prohibited from making distributions on or redeeming the Preferred Stock" beginning on page S-8.

So long as any share of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless as to a dividend payment date full dividends on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those dividends has been set aside for the dividend period then ending, Citigroup and its subsidiaries will not, during the following dividend period that commences on such dividend payment date, declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions relating to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment relating to, any of Citigroup's junior stock, or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto, other than:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of junior stock of Citigroup in connection with any
employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases of shares of common stock of Citigroup pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy stock
existing prior to the commencement of the then-current dividend period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of Citigroup's junior stock for any other
class or series of Citigroup's junior stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Citigroup's junior stock pursuant to the conversion or
exchange provisions of such junior stock or the security being converted or exchanged;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase of Citigroup's junior stock by an investment banking subsidiary of Citigroup in connection with
the distribution thereof; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase of Citigroup's junior stock by any investment banking subsidiary of Citigroup in connection
with market-making or other secondary-market activities in the ordinary course of the business of the subsidiary.

This restriction, however, will not apply to any junior stock dividends paid by Citigroup where the dividend is in the form of the same stock (or the right to buy the same stock) as that on which the dividend is being paid.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Additionally, this restriction does not prevent Citigroup from issuing preferred stock in the future that by its terms is expressly senior to the Preferred Stock. However, the issuance of senior capital stock of Citigroup is subject to certain limitations, as described below under "Description of the Preferred Stock — Voting Rights" beginning on page S-18.

Except as provided below, for so long as any share of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, if dividends are not declared and paid in full upon the shares of the Preferred Stock and any parity stock, all dividends declared upon shares of the Preferred Stock and any parity stock will be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the then-current dividend period per share of the Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends for the then-current dividend period per share of any parity stock (including, in the case of any such parity securities that bear cumulative dividends, all accrued and unpaid dividends) bear to each other.

As used in this prospectus supplement, "junior stock" means Citigroup common stock and any other class or series of capital stock over which the Preferred Stock has preference or priority in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup.

Subject to the conditions described above, and not otherwise, dividends payable in cash, stock, or otherwise, as may be determined by the board of directors of Citigroup, or a duly authorized committee of the board, may be declared and paid on any other class or series of stock from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and the holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate in those dividends.

Citigroup will not pay dividends on the Preferred Stock for any dividend period if payment of dividends for such dividend period would cause Citigroup to fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation (including applicable capital adequacy rules).

**Liquidation Rights** 

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Citigroup common stock or any other stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, a liquidating distribution in the amount of $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any accrued dividends thereon from the last dividend payment date to, but excluding, the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if and to the extent declared. Distributions will be made only to the extent of assets remaining available after satisfaction of all liabilities to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any securities ranking senior to the Preferred Stock as to distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, and pro rata as to the Preferred Stock and any other shares of Citigroup stock ranking equally as to such distribution. In addition, the Preferred Stock may be fully subordinate to interests held by the U.S. government in the event of a receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, including a proceeding under the "orderly liquidation authority" provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

After payment of this liquidating distribution, the holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of Citigroup assets.

Citigroup's consolidation or merger with one or more other entities will not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Because Citigroup is a holding company, its rights and the rights of its creditors and stockholders, including the holders of the Preferred Stock, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon that subsidiary's liquidation or recapitalization may be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that Citigroup is a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary.

**Optional Redemption** 

The Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. Citigroup may, at its option, with the prior approval of the Federal Reserve or any successor appropriate federal banking agency, redeem the Preferred Stock

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
(i) in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date beginning on or after the First Reset Date, or (ii) in whole but not in part at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined below), in each case at a cash redemption price equal to $25,000 per share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, payment will be made on the next succeeding business day and without any additional dividend accrual or other payment in respect of any such postponement. Under the Federal Reserve's current capital rules, prior to exercising any right to redeem the Preferred Stock, Citigroup must either (i) demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Federal Reserve that, following redemption, we will continue to hold capital commensurate with our risk; or (ii) replace the Preferred Stock redeemed or to be redeemed with an equal amount of instruments that will qualify as tier 1 capital under regulations of the Federal Reserve immediately following or concurrent with redemption.

A "Regulatory Capital Event" means the good faith determination by Citigroup that, as a result of (i) any amendment to, clarification of, or change in, the laws or regulations of the United States (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any agency or instrumentality of the United States, including the Federal Reserve and other federal bank regulatory agencies) or any political subdivision of or in the United States that is enacted or becomes effective after the initial issuance of any share of the Preferred Stock, (ii) any proposed change in those laws or regulations that is announced or becomes effective after the initial issuance of any share of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws or regulations or policies with respect thereto that is announced after the initial issuance of any share of the Preferred Stock, there is more than an insubstantial risk that Citigroup will not be entitled to treat the full liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of the Preferred Stock then outstanding as "tier 1 capital" (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy rules of the Federal Reserve (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules or regulations of any successor appropriate federal banking agency) as then in effect and applicable, for so long as any share of the Preferred Stock is outstanding. "Appropriate federal banking agency" means the "appropriate Federal banking agency" with respect to Citigroup as that term is defined in Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any successor provision.

Dividends on the shares redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date. Redemption of the Preferred Stock is subject to receipt of any required prior approval of the Federal Reserve or any successor appropriate federal banking agency.

Under the terms of its junior subordinated debt securities, Citigroup is prohibited from redeeming, purchasing, acquiring or making a liquidation payment on preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock, if a default under the indenture governing those junior subordinated debt securities (or under the corresponding guarantee) has occurred and is continuing or at any time when Citigroup is deferring payments of interest on those junior subordinated debt securities.

When Citigroup has paid noncumulative dividends in full for at least two consecutive semiannual or four consecutive quarterly dividend periods, as applicable, following a Nonpayment on the Preferred Stock and on any noncumulative dividend parity stock and has paid cumulative dividends in full on any cumulative dividend parity stock, then the voting rights described above will cease (but subject always to the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar non-payment of dividends in respect of future dividend periods). The voting rights described above will be re-triggered upon each and every subsequent Nonpayment.

Upon termination of the right of the holders of the Preferred Stock to vote for the Preferred Stock Directors as described above, the term of office of all Preferred Stock Directors then in office will terminate immediately and the number of directors will be automatically reduced, without any action by the board of directors or the junior subordinated debt securities. See "Risk Factors — If Citigroup is deferring payments on outstanding junior subordinated debt securities or is in default under the indentures governing those securities, Citigroup will be prohibited from making distributions on or redeeming the Preferred Stock" beginning on page S-8.

If Citigroup decides to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the shares of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed will be selected (i) on a pro rata basis, (ii) by lot or (iii) in such other manner

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
as the board of directors of Citigroup or any duly authorized committee of the board of directors may determine, in its sole discretion, to be fair and equitable.

If Citigroup redeems shares of the Preferred Stock, Citigroup will provide notice by first class mail to the holders of record of the shares of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed. That notice will be mailed not less than 5 days and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the redemption. Each notice of redemption will include a statement setting forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the redemption date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the total number of shares of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares of a holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the redemption price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the place or places where the certificates for those shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, if applicable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the certificates evidencing the shares of the Preferred Stock are held of record by a depositary and the depositary shares are held of record by DTC or its nominee, Citigroup may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC.

Neither the holders of the Preferred Stock nor the holders of the depositary shares have the right to require redemption of the Preferred Stock.

**Voting Rights** 

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have voting rights other than those described below, except as specifically required by Delaware law.

Whenever dividends payable on the Preferred Stock or any other class or series of preferred stock ranking equally with the Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon which voting rights equivalent to those described in this paragraph have been conferred and are exercisable (any such class or series being referred to herein as "dividend parity stock") have not been declared and paid in an aggregate amount equal, as to any class or series, to at least three semiannual or six quarterly dividend periods, as applicable, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a "Nonpayment"), the holders of outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock voting as a class with holders of shares of dividend parity stock will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors of the board of directors of Citigroup on the terms set forth below (the "Preferred Stock Directors"). Holders of dividend parity stock and the Preferred Stock will vote as a single class, with voting rights allocated pro rata based on liquidation preference. In the event that the holders of the shares of the Preferred Stock or dividend parity stock are entitled to vote as described in this paragraph, the board of directors of Citigroup will be increased by two directors. The holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right, as members of the class outlined above, to elect the two Preferred Stock Directors at a special meeting called at the request of holders of at least 20% of the Preferred Stock or holders of at least 20% of the voting power of any dividend parity stock then outstanding (unless such request for a special meeting is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Citigroup, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the Preferred Stock and dividend parity stock shall not be entitled to elect any Preferred Stock Directors to the extent the election would cause Citigroup to violate the corporate governance requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which its securities may then be listed) that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, and provided further that at no time shall the board of directors of Citigroup include more than two Preferred Stock Directors.

Under the Federal Reserve's regulations implementing the Bank Holding Company Act (the "BHC Act"), if any holder of any series of preferred stock (including the Preferred Stock) is or becomes entitled to vote for the election of directors, such series will be deemed a class of voting securities and a company holding 25% or more

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of the series, or such lower amount of the series as may be deemed, when coupled with other factors, to constitute a "controlling influence" over the issuer, will be subject to regulation as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. In addition, at the time the series is deemed a class of voting securities, any other bank holding company will be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act to acquire or maintain more than 5% of that series. Any other person (other than the bank holding company) will be required to obtain the non-objection of the Federal Reserve under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, to acquire or maintain 10% or more of that series.

So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a class with all other series of preferred stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is required by Delaware law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of Citigroup's certificate of incorporation (including the certificate of designations creating the Preferred Stock) or Citigroup's bylaws that would alter or change the voting powers, preferences, economic rights or special rights of the Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any amendment or alteration of Citigroup's certificate of incorporation to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, any class or series of Citigroup's capital stock ranking prior to the Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of Citigroup with another entity, except that holders of the Preferred Stock will have no right to vote under this provision or otherwise under Delaware law if in each case (i) the Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which Citigroup is not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted into or exchanged for preferred securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, that is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or if such entity is not a corporation, Citigroup having received an opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that holders of the Preferred Stock will be subject to tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such new preferred securities after such merger or consolidation in the same amount, at the same time and otherwise in the same manner as would have been the case under the Preferred Stock prior to such merger or consolidation), and (ii) such Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preferred securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Preferred Stock, taken as a whole.

The holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate in any vote regarding a change in the rights of the Preferred Stock if at, or prior to, the time when the act with respect to such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, Citigroup shall have redeemed or called for redemption all of the Preferred Stock upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside by Citigroup for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock to effect such redemption. Citigroup also is not required to obtain any consent of holders of preferred stock of a series in connection with the authorization, designation, increase or issuance of any shares of common stock or any shares of preferred stock that rank equally with or junior to the preferred stock of such series with respect to dividends and liquidation rights.

If an amendment, alteration or repeal described above would adversely affect one or more but not all series of preferred stock of Citigroup, then only those series affected and entitled to vote will vote as a class in lieu of all such series of preferred stock.

**Preemptive and Conversion Rights** 

The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive or conversion rights.

**Additional Classes or Series of Stock** 

For more information about Citigroup's outstanding preferred stock see "Description of Capital Stock — Preferred Stock" beginning on page 59 of the accompanying prospectus. Citigroup will have the right to create and issue additional classes or series of preferred stock or other capital stock ranking equally with, or junior to, the Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup without the consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock or the holders of the related depositary shares.

**Miscellaneous** 

All payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the depositary shares and the shares of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to withholding of tax to the extent required by law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by the holders.

**Depositary, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar** 

Computershare and Computershare Trust, acting jointly, will be the depositary. Computershare Trust will be the transfer agent, registrar and calculation agent.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPOSITARY SHARES** 

*The depositary shares will be issued pursuant to the terms of a deposit agreement among Citigroup and Computershare and Computershare Trust, acting jointly as depositary, and the registered holders from time to time of the depositary receipts. The terms of the depositary shares will include those stated in the deposit agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are a part. The following summary of the material terms and provisions of the depositary shares is not intended to be complete and is qualified by the deposit agreement and supplements the description of the general terms of the depositary shares set forth in the accompanying prospectus. It is important for you to consider the information contained in the accompanying prospectus and this prospectus supplement before making your decision to invest in the depositary shares representing interests in the Preferred Stock. If any specific information regarding the depositary shares in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the more general terms of the depositary shares described in the prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement.* 

**General** 

Proportional fractional interests in the Preferred Stock are being issued in the form of depositary shares. Each depositary share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, and will be evidenced by depositary receipts, as described under "Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement" beginning on page S-23. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, through the depositary, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of the Preferred Stock those depositary shares represent.

In this prospectus supplement, references to "holders" of depositary shares mean those who have depositary shares registered in their own names on the books maintained by the depositary (initially, Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, will be the only registered holder of depositary shares) and, if the Preferred Stock continues to be held of record by the depositary (initially, Computershare and Computershare Trust, acting jointly), not indirect holders who own beneficial interests in depositary shares registered in "street name" or beneficial interests therein issued in book-entry form through DTC. You should review the special considerations that apply to indirect holders described in "Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement" beginning on page S-23.

As long as the depositary is the sole registered holder of the Preferred Stock and Cede & Co. is the sole registered holder of the depositary shares, they will be considered the sole owner and holder of the global security certificates and all shares of the Preferred Stock and depositary shares represented by these certificates for all purposes under the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock and the deposit agreement, respectively. Nothing contained in the certificate of designations or the deposit agreement will confer upon or give any person other than Citigroup, the depositary and our and their successors and the persons in whose names the certificates evidencing the Preferred Stock and depositary shares are registered, any benefit, right, remedy or claim under the Preferred Stock, the certificate of designation, the deposit agreement or the depositary shares.

**Dividends and Other Distributions** 

Each dividend on a depositary share will be in an amount equal to 1/25th of the dividend declared per share of the Preferred Stock.

The depositary will distribute all dividends and other cash distributions received on the Preferred Stock to the holders of record of the depositary receipts in proportion to the number of depositary shares held by each holder. In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the holders of record of the depositary receipts in proportion to the number of depositary shares held by each holder, unless the depositary determines that this distribution is not feasible, in which case the depositary may, with the approval of Citigroup, adopt a method of distribution that it deems practicable, including the sale of the property and distribution of the net proceeds of that sale to the holders of the depositary receipts.

Record dates for the payment of dividends and other matters relating to the depositary shares will be the same as the corresponding record dates for the Preferred Stock. The amount paid (or deemed paid) as dividends

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
or otherwise distributable (or deemed distributable) by the depositary with respect to the depositary shares or the underlying Preferred Stock will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by Citigroup or the depositary on account of taxes or other governmental charges. The depositary may refuse to make any payment or distribution, or any transfer, exchange or withdrawal of any depositary shares until such taxes or other governmental charges are paid.

**Redemption of Depositary Shares** 

If Citigroup redeems the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, as described above under "Description of the Preferred Stock — Optional Redemption" beginning on page S-16, depositary shares also will be redeemed with the proceeds received by the depositary from the redemption of the Preferred Stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be 1/25th of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the Preferred Stock.

If Citigroup redeems shares of the Preferred Stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the number of shares of the Preferred Stock so redeemed. If Citigroup redeems less than all of the outstanding Preferred Stock, the depositary will select pro rata, or in any other manner determined by the depositary to be fair and equitable, those depositary shares to be redeemed. The depositary will mail notice of redemption to record holders of the depositary receipts not less than 5 and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of the Preferred Stock and the related depositary shares. The redemption of depositary shares that are held in book-entry form through DTC will be effected in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

**Voting the Preferred Stock** 

Because each depositary share represents a 1/25th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock, holders of depositary receipts will be entitled to 1/25th of a vote per depositary share under those limited circumstances in which holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to a vote, as described above in "Description of the Preferred Stock — Voting Rights" beginning on page S-18.

When the depositary receives notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record holders of the depositary shares. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the Preferred Stock, may instruct the depositary to vote the number of shares of the Preferred Stock, or fraction thereof, represented by the holder's depositary shares. To the extent possible, the depositary will vote the amount of the Preferred Stock represented by the aggregate number of depositary shares voted in accordance with the instructions it receives. Citigroup will agree to take all reasonable actions that the depositary determines are necessary to enable the depositary to vote as instructed. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the holders of any depositary shares representing the Preferred Stock, it will vote all depositary shares held by it proportionately with instructions received.

**Form and Notices** 

The Preferred Stock will be issued in registered form to the depositary, and the depositary shares will be issued in registered form to a nominee of DTC. DTC will credit beneficial interests in the depositary shares in book-entry only form through its facilities, as described under "Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement" beginning on page S-23. The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports, notices, and communications from Citigroup that are delivered to the depositary and that Citigroup is required to furnish to the holders of the Preferred Stock.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**BOOK-ENTRY PROCEDURES AND SETTLEMENT** 

The depositary shares will be issued in the form of one or more global depositary receipts registered in the name of Cede & Co., as a nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC").

Following the issuance of the depositary shares, DTC will credit the accounts of its participants with the depositary shares upon Citigroup's instructions. Only persons who hold directly or indirectly through financial institutions that are participants in DTC can hold beneficial interests in the depositary receipts. Because the laws of some jurisdictions require certain types of purchasers to take physical delivery of securities in definitive form, you may encounter difficulties in your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the depositary shares, so long as the depositary shares are represented by global depositary receipts.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global depositary receipts, Citigroup, Computershare and Computershare Trust will treat DTC as the sole owner or holder of the depositary shares. Therefore, except as set forth below, you will not be entitled to have depositary shares registered in your name or to receive physical delivery of the global depositary receipts or the Preferred Stock. Accordingly, you will have to rely on the procedures of DTC and the participant in DTC through whom you hold your beneficial interest in order to exercise any rights of a holder of depositary shares. Citigroup understands that under existing practices, DTC would act upon the instructions of a participant or authorize that participant to take any action that a holder is entitled to take.

You may elect to hold interests in the global depositary receipts either in the United States through DTC or outside the United States through Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") or Euroclear Bank SA/NV, or its successor, as operator of the Euroclear System, ("Euroclear") if you are a participant of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Interests held through Clearstream and Euroclear will be recorded on DTC's books as being held by the U.S. depositary for each of Clearstream and Euroclear, which U.S. depositaries will in turn hold interests on behalf of their participants' customers' securities accounts.

As long as the Preferred Stock is registered in the name of Computershare and Computershare Trust, acting jointly as depositary, and the depositary shares are represented by the global depositary receipts registered in the name of DTC, Citigroup will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock represented by the depositary shares to or as directed by DTC as the registered holder of the global depositary receipts. Payments to DTC will be in immediately available funds by wire transfer. DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, will credit the relevant accounts of their participants on the applicable date. None of Citigroup, Computershare or Computershare Trust will be responsible for making any payments to participants or customers of participants or for maintaining any records relating to the holdings of participants and their customers, and you will have to rely on the procedures of DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, and their participants.

If Citigroup determines to replace the global depositary receipt with depositary receipts in certificated form registered in the names of the beneficial owners, the underlying shares of the Preferred Stock may be withdrawn from the depositary arrangement upon surrender of depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary and upon payment of the taxes, charges, and fees provided for in the deposit agreement. Subject to the deposit agreement, the holders of depositary receipts will receive the appropriate number of shares of the Preferred Stock and any money or property represented by the depositary shares.

Only whole shares of the Preferred Stock may be withdrawn. If a holder holds an amount other than a whole multiple of 25 depositary shares, the depositary will deliver, along with the withdrawn shares of the Preferred Stock, a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. Holders of withdrawn shares of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to redeposit those shares or to receive depositary shares.

**Settlement** 

You will be required to make your initial payment for the depositary shares in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Secondary market trading between Clearstream customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear and will be settled using the applicable procedures in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by the U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (based on European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving depositary shares in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of depositary shares received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such depositary shares settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of depositary shares by or through a Clearstream customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of depositary shares among participants of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.

**Notices** 

So long as the global depositary receipts are held on behalf of DTC or any other clearing system, notices to holders of depositary shares represented by a beneficial interest in the global depositary receipts may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC or the alternative clearing system, as the case may be.

**U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

*The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of the Preferred Stock, including fractional interests therein, in the form of depositary shares. The following summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative authority, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. State, local and foreign tax consequences are not summarized, nor are tax consequences to special classes of investors including, but not limited to, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, dealers in securities, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons that will hold the Preferred Stock as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle," "conversion transaction" or other risk reduction transaction, and U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Tax consequences may vary depending upon the particular status of an investor. The summary is limited to taxpayers who will hold the Preferred Stock as "capital assets" within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment) and who purchase the Preferred Stock in the initial offering at the initial public offering price. Furthermore, this summary does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income or any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws. Each potential investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and any other considerations applicable to the ownership and disposition of the Preferred Stock to them.* 

*Holders of depositary shares will be treated as beneficial owners of their pro rata interest in the Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes.* 

**U.S. Holders** 

The discussion in this section is addressed to a holder of the Preferred Stock that is a "U.S. holder" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of the Preferred Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity that is taxable as a corporation) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any State (or the District of Columbia); (iii) an estate if the income of such estate falls within the federal income tax jurisdiction of the United States regardless of the source of such income; or (iv) a trust if (a) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) the trust has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of Preferred Stock, the treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of Preferred Stock that is a partnership and any partner who owns an interest in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Preferred Stock.

***Distributions***

Distributions with respect to the Preferred Stock will be taxable as dividend income when paid to the extent of Citigroup's current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the amount of a distribution with respect to the Preferred Stock exceeds Citigroup's current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the Preferred Stock, and thereafter as capital gain, which will be long- term capital gain if the U.S. holder's holding period for such stock exceeds one year at the time of the distribution. Under current law, distributions constituting dividend income received by individuals and certain other non-corporate U.S. holders in respect of the Preferred Stock will generally be subject to taxation at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided applicable holding period requirements are met and certain other conditions are satisfied. Distributions on the Preferred Stock constituting dividend income paid

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
to U.S. holders that are U.S. corporations will generally qualify for the dividends received deduction, subject to various limitations.

Dividends that exceed certain thresholds in relation to a U.S. holder's tax basis in the Preferred Stock could be characterized as "extraordinary dividends" under the Code. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders who receive an extraordinary dividend will generally be required to treat any losses on the sale of the Preferred Stock as long-term capital losses to the extent taxable dividend income received by them with respect to such Preferred Stock qualifies for the current preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains. If a corporate U.S. holder that has held Preferred Stock for two years or less before the dividend announcement date receives an extraordinary dividend, such holder will generally be required to reduce its tax basis in the Preferred Stock with respect to which such dividend was made by the non-taxed portion of such dividend. If the amount of the reduction exceeds the U.S. holder's tax basis in such Preferred Stock, the excess is treated as taxable gain.

***Sale or Redemption***

A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on a sale, exchange, redemption (other than a redemption that is treated as a distribution, as discussed below) or other taxable disposition of the Preferred Stock equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares so disposed. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for the shares disposed of exceeds one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains of noncorporate taxpayers are currently generally taxed at a lower maximum marginal tax rate than the maximum marginal tax rate applicable to ordinary income. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations.

A redemption of the Preferred Stock will be treated as a sale or exchange described in the preceding paragraph if the redemption (i) is a "complete termination" of the U.S. holder's Preferred Stock interest and any other equity interest in Citigroup (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(3) of the Code), (ii) is a "substantially disproportionate" redemption of stock with respect to the U.S. holder (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(2) of the Code) or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. holder (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(1) of the Code). In determining whether any of these tests has been met, a U.S. holder must take into account not only the Preferred Stock and other equity interests in Citigroup that the U.S. holder actually owns but also other equity interests in Citigroup that the U.S. holder constructively owns within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code. A U.S. holder that owns (actually and constructively) only an insubstantial percentage of the total equity interests in Citigroup and that exercises no control over Citigroup's corporate affairs may be entitled to sale or exchange treatment on a redemption of Preferred Stock if such holder experiences a reduction in its equity interest in Citigroup (taking into account any constructively owned Citigroup equity interests) as a result of the redemption. If none of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code are met, the redemption will be treated as a distribution subject to the rules described above under "U.S. Holders — Distributions". Because the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code is satisfied with respect to any particular holder of the Preferred Stock will depend upon the facts and circumstances as of the time the determination is made, holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment to them of a redemption.

In the event that a redemption payment is properly treated as a distribution, the amount of the distribution will be equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of property received without any offset for the U.S. holder's tax basis in the Preferred Stock. Any tax basis in the redeemed Preferred Stock should be transferred to the U.S. holder's remaining equity interests in Citigroup. If the U.S. holder has no remaining equity interests in Citigroup, such basis could, under certain circumstances, be transferred to any remaining equity interests in Citigroup that are held by a person related to such holder, or such basis could be lost entirely.

**Non-U.S. Holders** 

The discussion in this section is addressed to holders of the Preferred Stock that are "non-U.S. holders." A non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of the Preferred Stock (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Distributions***

Generally, distributions treated as dividends as described above under "U.S. Holders — Distributions" paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to the Preferred Stock will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Distributions that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of such holder) are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis and are exempt from the 30% withholding tax (assuming compliance with certain certification requirements and that we have no actual knowledge or reason to know that the certifications are incorrect). Any such effectively connected distributions received by a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be applicable under an income tax treaty.

For purposes of obtaining a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax treaty, a non-U.S. holder will generally be required to provide a U.S. taxpayer identification number as well as certain information concerning the holder's country of residence and entitlement to tax treaty benefits. A non-U.S. holder can generally meet the certification requirements by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or other applicable form (if the holder is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) or Form W-8ECI (if the dividends are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States) or suitable substitute form (assuming the payor has no knowledge or reason to know that the certifications are incorrect).

***Sale or Redemption***

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition (other than a redemption that is treated as a distribution as discussed below) of the Preferred Stock unless (i) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual that is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the sale or disposition and certain other requirements are satisfied, (ii) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. holder), or (iii) we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale, exchange or other disposition and the period that the non-U.S. holder held the Preferred Stock and either (a) the Preferred Stock has ceased to be traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the sale, exchange or other disposition occurs or (b) the non-U.S. holder owns (actually or constructively) more than five percent of the Preferred Stock at some time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale, exchange or other disposition and the period that the non-U.S. holder held the Preferred Stock. Although there can be no assurances, we believe we are not a United States real property holding corporation, and we do not expect to become a United States real property holding corporation.

An individual non-U.S. holder described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph will be required to pay (subject to applicable income tax treaties) a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. Gain described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of such paragraph will be subject to tax on a net income basis at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.

A payment made to a non-U.S. holder in redemption of the Preferred Stock may be treated as a dividend, rather than as a payment in exchange for such stock, in the circumstances discussed above under "U.S. Holders — Sale or Redemption", in which event such payment would be subject to tax as discussed above under "Non-U.S. Holders — Distributions."

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Additional Withholding Requirements** 

Withholding at a rate of 30% generally will be required in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of the Preferred Stock held by or through certain financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which the Preferred Stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, in certain circumstances, dividends in respect of the Preferred Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions generally will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to us that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity's "substantial United States owners," which we will in turn provide to the Treasury. We will not pay any additional amounts to holders of the Preferred Stock in respect of any amounts withheld. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in the Preferred Stock.

To the extent any underwriter that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer intends to effect any offers or sales of any depositary shares in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited is restricted in its U.S. securities dealings under the United States Bank Holding Company Act and may not underwrite, subscribe, agree to purchase or procure purchasers to purchase depositary shares that are offered or sold in the United States. Accordingly, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited shall not be obligated to, and shall not, underwrite, subscribe, agree to purchase or procure purchasers to purchase depositary shares that may be offered or sold by other underwriters in the United States. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited shall offer and sell the depositary shares constituting part of its allotment solely outside the United States.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the depositary shares are subject to the approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the depositary shares if they purchase any of the depositary shares.

The following table shows the underwriting discount that Citigroup is to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering and the proceeds to Citigroup (before expenses).

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Underwriting**<br>**Discount** | **Proceeds to Citi**<br>**(before expenses)** |
|  Per Depositary Share | $15.00 | $985.00 |
|  Total | $18750000 | $1231250000 |

---

We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding underwriting discount, will be approximately $225,000.

Depositary shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any depositary shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $9.00 per depositary share. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $3.00 per depositary share to brokers and dealers. If all the depositary shares are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

Citigroup has agreed, during the period beginning on the date of the underwriting agreement and continuing to and including the closing date for the purchase of the depositary shares, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
otherwise dispose of any preferred securities, any preferred stock or any other securities, including any backup undertakings of such preferred stock or other securities, of Citigroup, in each case that are substantially similar to the depositary shares or the Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for the preferred stock or such substantially similar securities of Citigroup, except stock in this offering or with the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Citigroup has agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of these liabilities relating to material misstatements and omissions.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell depositary shares in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Short sales involve secondary market sales by the underwriters of a greater number of depositary shares than they
are required to purchase in the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the depositary shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not
exceed a specified maximum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Covering transactions involve purchases of the depositary shares in the open market after the distribution has
been completed in order to cover short positions.

Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the depositary shares. They may also cause the price of the depositary shares to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

Citigroup expects delivery of the depositary shares will be made against payment therefor on or about March 7, 2023, which is the fifth business day after the date hereof. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the depositary shares on the date hereof or the next two business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the depositary shares initially will not settle in T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

The depositary shares are a new series of securities with no established trading market and will not be listed on any securities exchange. Citigroup has been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the depositary shares, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a market in the depositary shares and may discontinue any market making at any time at their sole discretion. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the depositary shares.

**Conflicts of Interest** 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the sole book-running manager for this offering, is a subsidiary of Citigroup. Accordingly, the offering of the depositary shares will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). Client accounts over which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any affiliate have investment discretion are not permitted to purchase the depositary shares, either directly or indirectly, without the specific written approval of the accountholder.

The underwriters are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and their respective affiliates have in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the past performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for Citigroup from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for Citigroup in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of Citigroup or its affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

This prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying prospectus, may also be used by Citigroup's broker-dealer subsidiaries and other subsidiaries or affiliates of Citigroup in connection with offers and sales of the depositary shares in market-making transactions at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any of these subsidiaries may act as principal or agent in such transactions.

The underwriters have agreed that they will not offer, sell or deliver any of the depositary shares, directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement and prospectus or any other offering material related to the depositary shares, in or from any jurisdiction, except when to the best knowledge and belief of the underwriters it is permitted under applicable laws and regulations. In so doing, the underwriters will not impose any obligations on Citigroup, except as set forth in the underwriting agreement.

Any of these offered securities may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in the event of a receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to Citigroup, including a proceeding under the "orderly liquidation authority" provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (each, a "liquidation event"). In addition, Citigroup believes that in case of a liquidation event, Citigroup's shareholders and unsecured creditors — including holders of the offered securities — will bear any losses resulting from the liquidation event. For more information, see "Citigroup Inc." below.

**Debt Securities** 

Debt securities are unsecured general obligations of Citigroup in the form of senior or subordinated debt. Senior debt includes Citigroup's notes, debt and guarantees and any other debt for money borrowed that is not subordinated. Subordinated debt, so designated at the time it is issued, would not be entitled to interest and principal payments if interest and principal payments on the senior debt were not made.

The senior and subordinated debt will be issued under separate indentures between Citigroup and a trustee. Below are summaries of the general features of the debt securities from these indentures, unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering. For a more detailed description of these features, see "Description of Debt Securities" below. You are also encouraged to read the indentures, including all supplements thereto, which are included or incorporated by reference in Citigroup's registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Citigroup's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed after the Form 10-K and Citigroup's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed after the period covered by Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You can receive copies of these documents by following the directions beginning on page 7.

*General Indenture Provisions that Apply to Senior and Subordinated Debt* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Neither indenture limits the amount of debt that Citigroup may issue or provides holders any protection should
there be a highly leveraged transaction involving Citigroup, although the senior debt indenture does limit Citigroup's ability to pledge the stock of any subsidiary that meets the financial thresholds in the indenture. These thresholds are
described below under "Description of Debt Securities — Covenants."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The senior debt indenture allows for different types of debt securities, including indexed securities, to be
issued in series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The indentures allow Citigroup to merge or to consolidate with another company or sell all or substantially all
of its assets to one or more of its subsidiaries or to another company. If any of these events occur with another company, the other company generally would be required to assume Citigroup's responsibilities for the debt. Unless the transaction
resulted in a default, Citigroup would be released from all liabilities and obligations under the debt securities when the other company assumed its responsibilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The indentures provide that holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the senior debt securities
outstanding in any series and holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the subordinated debt securities outstanding in any series that, in each case, are affected by such change, may vote to change Citigroup's obligations or your
rights concerning those securities. However, changes to the financial terms of that security, including changes in the payment of principal or interest on that security or, except in certain circumstances, the currency of payment, cannot be made
unless every holder affected consents to the change.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup may satisfy its obligations under the debt securities or be released from its obligation to comply with
certain limitations at any time by depositing sufficient amounts of cash and/or government securities with the trustee to pay Citigroup's obligations under the particular securities when due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The indentures govern the actions of the trustee with regard to the debt securities, including when the trustee
is required to give notices to holders of the securities and when lost or stolen debt securities may be replaced.

*Events of Default and Defaults* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of senior debt, the only events of default specified in the senior debt indenture are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to pay principal or required interest for 30 days after it is due; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or not.

Only these events of default provide for a right of acceleration of the senior debt securities. No other event, including a default in the performance of any other covenant of Citigroup in the senior indenture or any other default that is not also an event of default, will result in acceleration.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of subordinated debt, the only events of default specified in the subordinated debt indenture are certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or not. Only these events of default provide for a right of acceleration of the subordinated debt securities. No other event, including a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, subordinated debt securities, the performance of any other covenant of Citigroup in the subordinated indenture or any other default that is not also an event of default, will result in acceleration.

*Remedies* 

Senior Indenture: If there were an event of default, the trustee or holders of 25% of the principal amount of senior debt securities outstanding in a series could demand that the principal be paid immediately. However, holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities in that series could rescind that acceleration of the debt securities. The occurrence of a default for any reason other than (i) nonpayment of principal or interest that has continued for 30 days or (ii) certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy will not give the trustee or such holders the right to demand that the principal of the senior debt securities be paid immediately.

Subordinated Indenture: If there were an event of default, the trustee or holders of 25% of the principal amount of subordinated debt securities outstanding in a series could demand that the principal be paid immediately. However, holders of a majority in principal amount of the securities in that series may rescind that acceleration of the debt securities. The occurrence of a default for any reason other than certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy will not give the trustee or such holders the right to demand that the principal of the subordinated debt securities be paid immediately.

*TLAC Eligibility* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities are intended to qualify as eligible long-term debt for purposes of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's total loss-absorbing capacity ("TLAC") rule. As a result, in the event of a Citigroup bankruptcy or other resolution proceeding, Citigroup's losses and any losses incurred by its subsidiaries would be imposed first on Citigroup's shareholders and then on its unsecured creditors, including the holders of the debt securities. Further, in a bankruptcy or other resolution proceeding of Citigroup, any value realized by holders of the debt securities

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
may not be sufficient to repay the amounts owed on the debt securities. For more information about the final TLAC rule and its consequences for the debt securities, you should refer to the sections "Managing Global Risk — Liquidity Risk — Long-Term Debt — Resolution Plan" and " — Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)" in Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Common Stock Warrants** 

Citigroup may issue common stock warrants and will do so under a separate common stock warrant agreement between Citigroup and a bank or trust company. You are encouraged to read the standard form of the common stock warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to one of Citigroup's future current reports and incorporated by reference in its registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You can receive copies of these documents by following the directions beginning on page 7.

Common stock warrants are securities pursuant to which Citigroup may sell or purchase common stock. The particular terms of each issue of common stock warrants, the common stock warrant agreement relating to the common stock warrants and the common stock warrant certificates representing common stock warrants will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Index Warrants** 

Citigroup may issue index warrants and will do so under a separate index warrant agreement between Citigroup and a bank or trust company. You are encouraged to read the standard form of the index warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to one of Citigroup's future current reports and incorporated by reference in its registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You can receive copies of these documents by following the directions beginning on page 7.

Index warrants are securities that, when properly exercised by the purchaser, entitle the purchaser to receive from Citigroup an amount in cash or a number of securities that will be indexed to prices, yields, or other specified measures or changes in an index or differences between two or more indices.

The prospectus supplement for a series of index warrants will describe the formula for determining the amount in cash or number of securities, if any, that Citigroup will pay you when you exercise an index warrant and will contain information about the relevant underlying assets and other specific terms of the index warrant.

Citigroup will generally issue index warrants in book-entry form, which means that they will not be evidenced by physical certificates. Also, Citigroup will generally list index warrants for trading on a national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Global Market or the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

The index warrant agreement for any series of index warrants will provide that holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the index warrants outstanding in any series may vote to change their rights concerning those index warrants. However, changes to fundamental terms such as the amount or manner of payment on an index warrant or changes to the exercise times cannot be made unless every holder affected consents to the change.

Any prospective purchasers of index warrants should be aware of special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to instruments such as the index warrants. The prospectus supplement relating to each series of index warrants will describe the important tax considerations.

**Preferred Stock** 

Citigroup may issue preferred stock with various terms to be established by its board of directors or a committee designated by the board. Each series of preferred stock will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, voting rights and conversion rights.

Generally, each series of preferred stock will rank on an equal basis with each other series of preferred stock and will rank prior to Citigroup's common stock. The prospectus supplement will also describe how and when dividends will be paid on the series of preferred stock.

**Depositary Shares** 

Citigroup may issue depositary shares representing fractional shares of preferred stock. Each particular series of depositary shares will be more fully described in the prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus. These depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts and issued under a deposit agreement between Citigroup and a bank or trust company. You are encouraged to read the standard form of the deposit agreement, which is incorporated by reference in Citigroup's registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

**Stock Purchase Contracts and Stock Purchase Units** 

Citigroup may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from or sell to Citigroup, and Citigroup to sell to or purchase from the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates. The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of stock purchase units, consisting of a stock purchase contract and any combination of debt securities, capital securities, junior subordinated debt securities or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units, including, if applicable, collateral or depositary arrangements.

**Common Stock** 

Citigroup may issue common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by Citigroup's board of directors. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights or cumulative voting rights.

**Use of Proceeds** 

Citigroup will use the net proceeds it receives from any offering of these securities for general corporate purposes, which may include funding its operating units and subsidiaries, financing possible acquisitions or business expansion and refinancing or extending the maturity of existing debt obligations. Citigroup may use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of index warrants and indexed notes to hedge its exposure to payments that it may have to make on such index warrants and indexed notes as described below under "Use of Proceeds and Hedging."

**Plan of Distribution** 

Citigroup may sell the offered securities in any of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to or through underwriters or dealers;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by itself directly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through agents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

The prospectus supplement will explain the ways Citigroup sells specific securities, including the names of any underwriters and details of the pricing of the securities, as well as the commissions, concessions or discounts Citigroup is granting the underwriters, dealers or agents.

If Citigroup uses underwriters in any sale, the underwriters will buy the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In connection with an offering, underwriters and selling group members and their affiliates may engage in transactions to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, in accordance with applicable law.

Citigroup expects that the underwriters for any offering will include one or more of its broker-dealer subsidiaries, including Citigroup Global Markets Inc. These broker-dealer subsidiaries also expect to offer and sell previously issued securities as part of their business, and may act as a principal or agent in such transactions. Citigroup or any of its subsidiaries may use this prospectus and the related prospectus supplements and pricing supplements in connection with these activities. Offerings in which Citigroup's broker-dealer subsidiaries participate will conform with the requirements set forth in Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate. See below under "Plan of Distribution."

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

Certain statements in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and in other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent Citigroup's and its management's beliefs regarding future events. Such statements may be identified by words such as *believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, may increase, may fluctuate, target* and *illustrative,* and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as *will, should, would* and *could*.

Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Actual results and capital and other financial conditions may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a variety of factors, including without limitation the precautionary statements included in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and the factors and uncertainties summarized under "Forward-Looking Statements" in Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the factors listed and described under "Risk Factors" in Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Precautionary statements included in such filings should be read in conjunction with this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Citigroup speak only as to the date they are made, and Citigroup does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.

**RISK FACTORS RELATED TO FLOATING RATE DEBT SECURITIES** 

**Compounded SOFR is a daily compounded rate that is relatively new in the marketplace.** 

Citigroup may issue floating rate notes linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Additionally, under the benchmark transition provisions of London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") linked floating rate notes, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date occur with respect to LIBOR, then the rate of interest on such LIBOR-linked floating rate notes will be determined using SOFR (unless a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date also occur with respect to the Benchmark Replacements that are linked to SOFR, in which case the rate of interest will be based on the next-available Benchmark Replacement). In the following discussion of SOFR, a reference to SOFR-linked notes means floating rate notes at any time when the rate of interest on those notes is or will be determined based on SOFR.

The interest rate on such notes will be based on a formula used to calculate a daily compounded SOFR rate or will be calculated using the SOFR Index, as applicable, both of which are relatively new in the market. This interest rate for SOFR-linked notes will not be SOFR published on or in respect of a particular date during such interest or observation period or an average of SOFR during such period. Accordingly, the interest rate on SOFR-linked notes will differ from the interest rate on other investments linked to SOFR that use an alternative basis to determine the applicable interest rate. Also, if the SOFR rate for a particular day during an observation or interest period is negative, the amount of interest attributable to that day may be less than zero; *provided that* in no event will the interest payable on a SOFR-linked note for any interest period be less than zero.

Limited market precedent exists for securities that use SOFR as the interest rate, and the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SOFR in those precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula for Compounded SOFR or the SOFR Index used for determining the interest due on the SOFR-linked notes may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all. If the market adopts a calculation method that differs from that for the SOFR-linked notes, the return on, value of and market for such floating rate notes could be adversely affected.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect holders of the SOFR-linked notes.** 

SOFR may fail to gain market acceptance. SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to the London interbank offered rate for U.S. dollar obligations ("U.S. dollar LIBOR") in part because it is considered to be a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR to be a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which U.S. dollar LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen its market acceptance. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the SOFR-linked notes.

**Any market for SOFR-linked notes may be illiquid or unpredictable.** 

SOFR-linked notes will likely have no established trading market when issued, and an established trading market for the SOFR-linked notes may never develop or may not be very liquid. Market terms for securities that are linked to SOFR may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the SOFR-linked notes may be lower than those of later-issued securities that are linked to SOFR. Similarly, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used in securities that are similar or comparable to the SOFR-linked notes, the trading price of the SOFR-linked notes may be lower than those of securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used. You may not be able to sell your SOFR-linked notes at all or may not be able to sell the SOFR-linked notes at prices that will provide you with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market, and consequently, you may suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.

The manner of adoption or application of reference rates based on SOFR in the bond market may differ materially compared with the application and adoption of SOFR in other markets, such as the derivatives and loan markets. You should carefully consider how any potential inconsistencies between the adoption of reference rates based on SOFR across these markets may impact any hedging or other financial arrangements which you may put in place in connection with any acquisition, holding or disposal of the SOFR-linked notes.

**You should not rely on indicative or historical data concerning the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.** 

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("NY Federal Reserve") started publishing SOFR in April 2018 and has also started publishing historical indicative SOFR dating back to 2014, although such historical indicative data inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. You should not rely on such historical indicative data or on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of the future performance of SOFR. Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or market rates, and SOFR over time may bear little or no relation to the historical actual or historical indicative data. In addition, the return on and value of the SOFR-linked notes may fluctuate more than floating rate securities that are linked to less volatile rates.

**Changes in SOFR could adversely affect holders of the SOFR-linked notes.** 

Because SOFR is published by the NY Federal Reserve based on data received from other sources, Citigroup has no control over its determination, calculation or publication. There can be no assurance that SOFR will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in the SOFR-linked notes. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction in the amount of interest that accrues on the SOFR-linked notes, which may adversely affect the trading prices of the SOFR-linked notes. In addition, the interest rate on the SOFR-linked notes for any day will not be adjusted for any modification or amendment to SOFR for that day that NY Federal Reserve may publish if the interest rate for that day has already been determined prior to such publication. Further, if the interest rate on the SOFR-linked notes for any interest period declines to zero or becomes negative, no interest will accrue on the SOFR-linked notes with respect to that interest period.

With respect to SOFR Index notes, implementation of use of the SOFR Index or increased regulatory scrutiny of such SOFR Index could increase the costs and risks of administering such SOFR Index and complying with any such regulations or requirements. These factors may have the effect of discouraging market participants from continuing to administer the SOFR Index, trigger changes in the rules or methodologies used in the SOFR Index or lead to the discontinuance or unavailability of the SOFR Index.

**The total amount of interest payable with respect to each interest period for SOFR-linked notes will not be known until near the end of the interest period.** 

The total amount of interest payable with respect to each interest period for a SOFR-linked note will not be known until near the end of such interest period. As a result you will not know the total amount of interest payable with respect to each such interest period until shortly prior to the related interest payment date and it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on each such interest payment date.

**Any Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent of Compounded SOFR.** 

Under the benchmark transition provisions of the SOFR-linked notes, if Citigroup (or its affiliate) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR, then the interest rate on the SOFR-linked notes will be determined using the next available Benchmark Replacement (which may include a related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment). However, there is no assurance that the characteristics of the Benchmark Replacement will be similar to SOFR or the then-current Benchmark that it is replacing and the Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent of Compounded SOFR or the then-current Benchmark that it is replacing. Further, the ISDA Fallback Rate, which is another Benchmark Replacement, may change over time.

In addition, (i) any failure of the Benchmark Replacement to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the floating rate notes, (ii) the Benchmark Replacement may have a very limited history and the future performance of the Benchmark Replacement may not be predicted based on historical performance, (iii) the secondary trading market for floating rate notes based on the Benchmark Replacement may be limited and (iv) the administrator of the Benchmark Replacement may make changes that could change the value of the Benchmark Replacement or discontinue the Benchmark Replacement and has no obligation to consider your interests in doing so.

**The implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes could adversely affect holders of SOFR-linked notes.** 

Under the benchmark transition provisions of the SOFR-linked notes, if a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected or formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (such as the ARRC), (ii) ISDA or (iii) in certain circumstances, Citigroup (or its affiliate). In addition, the benchmark transition provisions expressly authorize Citigroup (or its affiliate) to make certain changes, which are defined as "Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes," with respect to, among other things, the determination of interest periods, observation periods and interest reset dates, and the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest. The application of a Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, could result in adverse consequences to the amount of interest payable on the SOFR-linked notes, which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for such notes.

**Citigroup (or its affiliate) will have authority to make determinations, decisions and elections that could affect the return on, value of and market for the SOFR-linked notes.** 

Under the terms of the SOFR-linked notes, Citigroup (or its affiliate) will be authorized to make certain determinations, decisions and elections with respect to the interest rate on SOFR-linked notes. Citigroup (or its

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
affiliate) will make any such determination, decision or election in its sole discretion, and any such determination, decision or election that is made could affect the amount of interest payable on SOFR-linked notes. For example, if Citigroup (or its affiliate) determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, then Citigroup (or its affiliate) will determine, among other things, the Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any exercise of discretion by us, or by one of our affiliates, under the terms of the SOFR-linked notes could present a conflict of interest. The interests of Citigroup (or its affiliate) in making the determinations described above may be adverse to your interests as a holder of such floating rate notes. All determinations, decisions or elections by Citigroup (or its affiliates), including those made by an affiliate acting as calculation agent, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

**Certain base rates described herein refer to "benchmarks," including LIBOR and EURIBOR, that may be discontinued or reformed, which may adversely affect the value of and return on floating rate notes.** 

Certain base rates, including LIBOR, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and other rates or indices described herein, are deemed to be "benchmarks" and are the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory scrutiny and reform. Some of these reforms are already effective, while others are still to be implemented or formulated. For example, on March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited ("IBA"), the current LIBOR administrator, announced plans to cease publishing LIBOR for several tenors and currencies (including one-week and 2-month USD LIBOR) on December 31, 2021, but to extend the publication of the most commonly used LIBOR tenors (overnight and one, three, six and 12 months) until June 30, 2023. This announcement by the IBA is a Benchmark Transition Event. Additionally, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have strongly encouraged banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a benchmark rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. There is no assurance that LIBOR will continue to be published until any particular date, but as of the date hereof, LIBOR will be discontinued or deemed no longer representative after December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2023, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor.

Any of the international, national or other proposals for reform or the general increased regulatory scrutiny of "benchmarks" could increase the costs and risks of administering or otherwise participating in the setting of a "benchmark" and complying with any such regulations or requirements. Such factors may have the effect of discouraging market participants from continuing to administer or contribute to certain "benchmarks," trigger changes in the rules or methodologies used in certain "benchmarks" or lead to the discontinuance or unavailability of quotes of certain "benchmarks."

To the extent interest payments on a floating rate debt security are linked to a specific "benchmark" that is discontinued or is no longer quoted, the applicable base rate will be determined using the alternative methods described in "Description of Debt Securities — Interest Rate Determination." Any of these alternative methods may result in interest payments that are different than or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on those notes if the relevant "benchmark" was available in its current form. Under certain of the base rates described herein (including the Treasury Rate and the Prime Rate), the final alternative method sets the interest rate for an interest period at the same rate as the immediately preceding interest period. For the LIBOR base rate, a Benchmark Replacement will be used to determine the interest rate if such base rate is discontinued, as described in "Description of Debt Securities — Interest Rate Determination — Floating Rate Notes, except SOFR Notes — LIBOR Notes." For the EURIBOR base rate, a substitute or successor base rate will be used to determine the interest rate if EURIBOR is discontinued or is permanently no longer being published, as described in "Description of Debt Securities — Interest Rate Determination — Floating Rate Notes, except SOFR Notes — EURIBOR Notes." Any of the foregoing may have an adverse effect on the value of such notes, and may cause adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for holders of such notes.

**SOFR differs fundamentally from, and may not be a comparable substitute for, U.S. dollar LIBOR.** 

In June 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the "ARRC") convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the NY Federal Reserve announced the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as its recommended alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. However, because SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from U.S. dollar LIBOR. For example, SOFR is a secured overnight rate, while U.S. dollar LIBOR is an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. In addition, because SOFR is a transaction-based rate, it is backward-looking, whereas U.S. dollar LIBOR is forward-looking. Because of these and other differences, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as U.S. dollar LIBOR would have done at any time, and there is no guarantee that it is a comparable substitute for U.S. dollar LIBOR.

**Interest on any floating rate notes linked to EURIBOR will be calculated using a substitute or successor base rate selected by Citigroup if EURIBOR is discontinued.** 

If, during the term of any floating rate notes linked to EURIBOR, Citigroup (or its affiliate) determines that EURIBOR has been discontinued or is permanently no longer being published, Citigroup (or such affiliate) will use a substitute or successor base rate that it has determined, in its sole discretion after consulting with any source it deems to be reasonable, to be the industry-accepted substitute or successor base rate, or, if there is no such industry-accepted substitute or successor base rate, a substitute or successor base rate that is most comparable to EURIBOR. Citigroup (or such affiliate) also will determine, in its sole discretion after consulting with any source it deems to be reasonable, any adjustments to the relevant methodology or definitions for calculating such substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor base rate comparable to EURIBOR in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate.

The interests of Citigroup (or its affiliate) in making the determinations described above may be adverse to your interests as a holder of the floating rate notes. The selection of a substitute or successor base rate, and any decisions made by Citigroup (or such affiliate) in connection with implementing such substitute or successor base rate, could result in adverse consequences to the applicable interest rate on the floating rate notes, which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for such securities. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any substitute or successor base rate will be similar to EURIBOR or that any substitute or successor base rate will produce the economic equivalent of EURIBOR.

**There may be no trading market for the notes.** 

If the floating rate notes are a new issue of securities, they will have no established trading market and will not be listed on any securities exchange. The underwriters will not be obligated to make a trading market in the notes and may discontinue market making at any time at their sole discretion. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of or trading markets for any series of notes.

**CITIGROUP INC.** 

Citigroup Inc. is a global diversified financial services holding company whose businesses provide consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad, yet focused range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, trade and securities services and wealth management. Citigroup has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions. Citigroup currently operates, for management reporting purposes, via two primary business segments: *Global Consumer Banking* and *Institutional Clients Group*, with the remaining operations in *Corporate/Other*. Its businesses conduct their activities across the North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe, Middle East and Africa regions. Citigroup's principal subsidiaries are Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Grupo Financiero Citibanamex, S.A. de C.V., each of which is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Citigroup. Citigroup was incorporated in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a corporation with perpetual duration.

Citigroup is a holding company and services its obligations primarily by earnings from its operating subsidiaries. Citigroup may augment its capital through issuances of common stock, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and equity issued through awards under employee benefits plans, among other issuances. Citigroup and Citigroup's subsidiaries that operate in the banking and securities businesses can only pay dividends if they are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements imposed on them by federal and state bank regulatory authorities and securities regulators. Citigroup's subsidiaries may be party to credit agreements that also may restrict their ability to pay dividends. Citigroup currently believes that none of these regulatory or contractual restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends will affect Citigroup's ability to service its own debt. Citigroup must also maintain the required capital levels of a bank holding company. Under capital regulations, Citigroup must submit a capital plan, subjected to stress testing, to the Federal Reserve, and have its stress capital buffer determined annually, before it may pay dividends on its stock.

Citigroup is required under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act") and the rules promulgated by the FDIC and Federal Reserve to periodically submit a plan for Citigroup's rapid and orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the event of material financial distress or failure. On December 17, 2019, the Federal Reserve and FDIC issued feedback on the resolution plans filed on July 1, 2019 by the eight U.S. Global Systemically Important Banks, including Citigroup. The Federal Reserve and FDIC identified one shortcoming, but no deficiencies, in Citigroup's resolution plan relating to governance mechanisms. Based on regulatory changes effective December 31, 2019, Citigroup's July 2021 resolution plan submission will be a "targeted" resolution plan, only including a subset of the information of a full resolution plan, as identified by the Federal Reserve and FDIC. Citigroup will alternate between a submitting a full resolution plan and a targeted resolution plan on a biennial cycle. On July 1, 2020, the Federal Reserve and FDIC provided information to the eight largest domestic banking organizations, including Citigroup, required to be included in the targeted resolution plans due on July 1, 2021. For additional information on Citigroup's resolution plan submissions, see "Managing Global Risk—Liquidity Risk—Resolution Plan" in Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Citigroup's preferred resolution strategy is "single point of entry" under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Under Citigroup's preferred "single point of entry" resolution plan strategy, only Citigroup, the parent holding company, would enter into bankruptcy, while Citigroup's material legal entities (as defined in the public section of its 2019 resolution plan, which can be found on the Federal Reserve and FDIC's websites) would remain operational and outside of any resolution or insolvency proceedings. Citigroup believes its resolution plan has been designed to minimize the risk of systemic impact to the U.S. and global financial systems, while maximizing the value of the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of Citigroup's creditors, including the holders of the securities being offered by this prospectus. In addition, in line with the Federal Reserve's final TLAC rule, Citigroup believes it has developed the resolution plan so that Citigroup's shareholders and unsecured creditors—including the holders of the securities being offered by this prospectus—bear any losses resulting from Citigroup's bankruptcy. Accordingly, any value realized by holders of the holders of the securities being offered by this prospectus may not be sufficient to repay the amounts owed to such debt holders in the event of a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
bankruptcy or other resolution proceeding of Citigroup. Claims of holders of the debt securities offered by this prospectus and other debt securities of Citigroup would have a junior position to the claims of creditors of Citigroup's subsidiaries and to the claims of priority (as determined by statute) and secured creditors of Citigroup. Accordingly, in a resolution of Citigroup under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, holders of the debt securities offered by this prospectus and other debt securities of Citigroup would realize value only to the extent available to Citigroup as a shareholder of its subsidiaries, and only after any claims of priority and secured creditors of Citigroup have been fully repaid. If Citigroup were to enter into a resolution, none of Citigroup, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC is obligated to follow Citigroup's preferred resolution strategy under its resolution plan.

As previously disclosed, in response to feedback received from the Federal Reserve and FDIC, Citigroup took the following actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Citicorp LLC ("Citicorp"), an existing wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, was established as an
intermediate holding company for certain of Citigroup's operating material legal entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Citigroup executed an inter-affiliate agreement with Citicorp, Citigroup's operating material legal
entities and certain other affiliated entities pursuant to which Citicorp is required to provide liquidity and capital support to Citigroup's operating material legal entities in the event Citigroup were to enter bankruptcy proceedings
("Citi Support Agreement");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) pursuant to the Citi Support Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup made an initial contribution of assets, including certain high-quality liquid assets and
inter-affiliate loans ("Contributable Assets"), to Citicorp, and Citicorp became the business as usual funding vehicle for Citigroup's operating material legal entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup will be obligated to continue to transfer Contributable Assets to Citicorp over time, subject to
certain amounts retained by Citigroup to, among other things, meet Citigroup's near-term cash needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the event of a Citigroup bankruptcy, Citigroup will be required to contribute most of its remaining assets to
Citicorp; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the obligations of both Citigroup and Citicorp under the Citi Support Agreement, as well as the Contributable
Assets, are secured pursuant to a security agreement.

The Citi Support Agreement provides two mechanisms, besides Citicorp's issuing of dividends to Citigroup, pursuant to which Citicorp will be required to transfer cash to Citigroup during business as usual so that Citigroup can fund its debt service as well as other operating needs: (i) one or more funding notes issued by Citicorp to Citigroup and (ii) a committed line of credit under which Citicorp may make loans to Citigroup.

In addition to Citigroup's required resolution plan under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act, Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act grants the FDIC the authority, under certain circumstances, to resolve systemically important financial institutions, including Citigroup. This resolution authority is commonly referred to as the FDIC's "orderly liquidation authority." Under the FDIC's stated preferred "single point of entry" strategy for such resolution, the bank holding company (Citigroup) would be placed in receivership; the unsecured long-term debt and shareholders of the parent holding company would bear any losses; the FDIC would use its power to create a "bridge entity" for Citigroup; transfer the systemically important and viable parts of its business, principally the stock of Citigroup's main operating subsidiaries and any intercompany claims against such subsidiaries, to the bridge entity; and recapitalize the operating subsidiaries using assets of Citigroup that have been transferred to the bridge entity and exchange external debt claims against Citigroup for equity in the bridge entity. Under this Title II resolution strategy, the value of the stock of the bridge entity that would be redistributed to holders of the debt securities offered by use of this prospectus and other debt securities of Citigroup may not be sufficient to repay all or part of the principal amount and interest on the debt securities and those other securities. Any of the securities being offered by this prospectus may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the event of a receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to Citigroup, including a proceeding under the "orderly liquidity authority" provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. To date, the FDIC has not formally adopted a single point of entry resolution strategy and it is not obligated to follow such a strategy in a Title II resolution of Citigroup.

Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of this regulatory policy, the Federal Reserve might require Citigroup to commit resources to its subsidiary banks even if doing so is not otherwise in the interests of Citigroup or its shareholders or creditors.

The principal office of Citigroup is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, and its telephone number is (212) 559-1000.

**USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING** 

*General*. Citigroup will use the proceeds it receives from the sale of the offered securities for general corporate purposes, which may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• funding the business of its operating units;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• funding investments in, or extensions of credit or capital contributions to, its subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financing possible acquisitions or business expansion; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lengthening the average maturity of liabilities, which means that it could reduce its short-term liabilities or
refund maturing indebtedness.

Citigroup expects to incur additional indebtedness in the future to fund its businesses. Citigroup or one or more subsidiaries may enter into a swap agreement in connection with the sale of the offered securities and may earn additional income from that transaction.

*Use of Proceeds Relating to Index Warrants and Indexed Notes*. Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may use all or some of the proceeds received from the sale of index warrants or indexed notes to purchase or maintain positions in the underlying assets. Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may also purchase or maintain positions in options, futures contracts, forward contracts or swaps, or options on the foregoing, or other derivative or similar instruments relating to the relevant index or underlying assets. Citigroup may also use the proceeds to pay the costs and expenses of hedging any currency, interest rate or other index-related risk relating to such index warrants and indexed notes.

Citigroup expects that it or one or more of its subsidiaries will increase or decrease their initial hedging position over time using techniques which help evaluate the size of any hedge based upon a variety of factors affecting the value of the underlying instrument. These factors may include the history of price changes in that underlying instrument and the time remaining to maturity. Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may take long or short positions in the index, the underlying assets, options, futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, or options on the foregoing, or other derivative or similar instruments related to the index or the underlying assets. These other hedging activities may occur from time to time before the index warrants and indexed notes mature and will depend on market conditions and the value of the index and the underlying assets.

In addition, Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may purchase or otherwise acquire a long or short position in index warrants and indexed notes from time to time and may, in their sole discretion, hold, resell, exercise, cancel or retire such offered securities. Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may also take hedging positions in other types of appropriate financial instruments that may become available in the future.

If Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries has a long hedge position in, or options, futures contracts or swaps or options on the foregoing, or other derivative or similar instruments related to, the index or underlying assets, Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may liquidate all or a portion of its holdings at or about the time of the maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase of, or the payment of any indexed interest on, the index warrants and indexed notes. The aggregate amount and type of such positions are likely to vary over time depending on future market conditions and other factors. Since the hedging activities described in this section involve risks and may be influenced by a number of factors, it is possible that Citigroup or one or more of its subsidiaries may receive a profit from the hedging activities, even if the market value of the index warrants or indexed notes declines. Citigroup is only able to determine profits or losses from any such position when the position is closed out and any offsetting position or positions are taken into account.

Citigroup has no reason to believe that its hedging activities, as well as those of its subsidiaries, will have a material impact on the price of such options, futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps, options on the foregoing, or other derivative or similar instruments, or on the value of the index or the underlying assets. However, Citigroup cannot guarantee you that its hedging activities, as well as those of its subsidiaries, will not affect such prices or values. Citigroup will use the remainder of the proceeds from the sale of index warrants and indexed notes for the general corporate purposes described above.

**EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION** 

The foreign currencies in which notes may be denominated or payments in respect of index warrants may be due or by which amounts due on the offered securities may be calculated could be issued by countries that are member states of the European Union that have adopted or adopt the single Euro currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community (as that Treaty is amended from time to time) (the "Participating Member States").

The current Participating Member States are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Other member states of the European Union may also become participating member states of the single Euro currency.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES** 

The debt securities offered by this prospectus will be unsecured obligations of Citigroup and will be either senior or subordinated debt. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior debt indenture dated as of November 13, 2013, as supplemented. Subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated debt indenture dated as of April 12, 2001, as supplemented. The senior debt indenture and any of its supplements and the subordinated debt indenture and any of its supplements are sometimes referred to in this prospectus individually as an "indenture" and collectively as the "indentures." The indentures (or forms thereof) and any supplements have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference or included in the registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indentures and the debt securities, other than pricing and related terms disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable indenture, including the defined terms, for provisions that may be important to you. You should also read the particular terms of an offering of debt securities, which will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. Copies of the indentures may be obtained from Citigroup or the applicable trustee. So that you may easily locate the more detailed provisions, the numbers in parentheses below refer to sections in the applicable indenture or, if no indenture is specified, to sections in each of the indentures. Wherever particular sections or defined terms of the applicable indenture are referred to, such sections or defined terms are incorporated into this prospectus by reference, and the statements in this prospectus are qualified by that reference. If any debt securities are to be issued under an indenture having terms that differ from those described below, the terms of such indenture will be as described in the applicable supplement for the offering of such debt securities.

As used in this prospectus, the term "supplement" means either a prospectus supplement or a pricing supplement, as applicable.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the trustee under the senior debt indenture and under the subordinated indenture will be The Bank of New York Mellon. Citigroup has appointed Citibank, N.A. to act as paying agent under each such indenture.

**General** 

The indentures provide that unsecured senior or subordinated debt securities of Citigroup may be issued in one or more series, with different terms, in each case as authorized from time to time by Citigroup. Citigroup also has the right to "reopen" a previous issue of a series of debt securities by issuing additional debt securities of such series.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any debt securities issued by Citigroup at a discount or a premium will be described in the applicable supplement.

Because Citigroup is a holding company, the claims of creditors of Citigroup's subsidiaries will have a priority over Citigroup's equity rights and the rights of Citigroup's creditors, including the holders of debt securities, to participate in the assets of the subsidiary upon the subsidiary's liquidation.

The applicable supplement relating to any offering of debt securities will describe the following terms, where applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the title of the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the debt securities will be senior or subordinated debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the indenture under which the debt securities are being issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the total principal amount of the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the securities are intended to qualify as regulatory capital, and the relevant terms and conditions for so
qualifying;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will be sold and, if applicable, the method
of determining the price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the maturity date or dates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date or dates on which the debt securities may be redeemed prior to maturity either at the option of
Citigroup or a holder of debt securities, if applicable, the terms upon which such election may be made and the manner in which the early redemption amount will be calculated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the interest rate or the method of computing the interest rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, or how such date or dates will be determined, and the
interest payment date or dates and any related record dates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the place or places where payments on the debt securities may be made and the place or places where the debt
securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if other than in U.S. dollars, the currency or currency unit in which payment will be made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the debt securities will be issued in other than book-entry only form;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the identification of or method of selecting any calculation agents, exchange rate agents, or any other agents
for the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions for the discharge of our obligations relating to the debt securities by the deposit of funds or
U.S. government obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions relating to the extension or renewal of the maturity date of the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the amount of any payment may be determined with reference to an index or formula based on a currency or
currency unit other than that in which the debt securities are payable, the manner in which the amounts will be determined;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the amount of any payment may be determined with reference to an index or formula based on securities,
commodities, intangibles, articles or goods, or any other financial, economic or other measure or instrument, including the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or circumstance, the manner in which the
amount will be determined;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if any payments may be made at the election of Citigroup or a holder of debt securities in a currency or currency
unit other than that in which the debt securities are stated to be payable, the periods within which, and the terms upon which, such election may be made;

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if other than the principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities payable if the
maturity is accelerated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date of any global security if other than the original issuance of the first debt security to be issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any material provisions of the applicable indenture described in this prospectus that do not apply to the debt
securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other specific terms of the debt securities (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 3.01; Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 2.02*).

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities are not redeemable prior to maturity, except upon the occurrence of certain tax events described below under "— Redemption for Tax Purposes." The redemption price for the debt securities upon the occurrence of certain tax events will be 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of the redemption.

Unless otherwise specified, if optional redemption with a "make-whole amount" is specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, such debt securities may be redeemed at Citigroup's option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on or after the date specified in the supplement relating to such offering and, if applicable, prior to a date so specified, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption; and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such debt securities.

As used in connection with such optional redemption:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Make-Whole Amount" means the excess, if any, of: (i) the aggregate present value as of the date
of such redemption of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption had not been made,
determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (as defined below) (determined on the third business day preceding the date that notice of such redemption is given) from the respective dates on
which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had not been made, to the date of redemption, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities being redeemed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Reinvestment Rate" means the yield on Treasury securities at a constant maturity corresponding to the
remaining life (as of the date of redemption, and rounded to the nearest month) to stated maturity or to such other date specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, of the principal being redeemed (the "Treasury
Yield"), plus an additional number of basis points specified in the applicable supplement. For purposes hereof, the Treasury Yield shall be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields published in the Statistical Release (as defined below) under
the heading "Week Ending" for "U.S. Government Securities — Treasury Constant Maturities" with a maturity equal to such remaining life; provided that if no published maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life,
then the Treasury Yield shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis from the arithmetic means of the yields for the next shortest and next longest published maturities. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used. If the format or content of the Statistical Release changes in a manner that precludes determination of the Treasury Yield in the above
manner, then the Treasury Yield shall be determined in the manner that most closely approximates the above manner, as reasonably determined by Citigroup.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor
publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve and which reports yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any
determination under the applicable indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by Citigroup.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Calculation of the foregoing will be made by Citigroup or on our behalf by a person designated by us; *provided, however*, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the trustee.

In addition, if so specified in connection with a particular offering of securities, Citigroup may redeem a series of debt securities at Citigroup's option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on or after the date specified in the supplement relating to such offering, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debt securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The redemption of any debt security that is included in Citigroup's capital and total loss-absorbing capacity may be subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve, which may not acquiesce in the redemption of such note unless it is satisfied that the capital position and total loss-absorbing capacity of Citigroup will be adequate after the proposed redemption.

In the case of any optional redemption of only part of the debt securities of a particular series at the time outstanding, the debt securities to be redeemed will be selected not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary or, in the case of certificated debt securities, by the trustee by such method as the trustee shall deem appropriate.

If Citigroup elects to redeem debt securities, it will provide notice to the holders of record of the debt securities to be redeemed. Such notice will be at least 5 days and not more than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption. Each notice of redemption will state:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such election of Citigroup to redeem debt securities of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the redemption date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the redemption price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CUSIP or ISIN number and/or common code of the debt securities to be redeemed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each debt security to be
redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the place or places where the notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and that the debt
securities designated in such notice for redemption are required to be presented on or after such redemption date at the designated place or places of payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the debt securities are held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), Citigroup may give such notice in any manner permitted or required by DTC. See "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement — Notices" below.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities are not subject to any sinking fund.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars will be issued only in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 3.02*; *Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 2.02*). The supplement relating to debt securities denominated in a foreign currency will specify the denomination of such debt securities.

The currency for payment for book-entry debt securities denominated in a foreign currency will be specified in the applicable supplement. However, when interests in such debt securities are held through DTC, all payments in respect of such debt securities will be made in U.S. dollars. See "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement" and "Currency Conversions and Foreign Exchange Risks Affecting Debt Securities Denominated in a Foreign Currency — Currency Conversion" below.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Citigroup may, without notice to or consent of the holders or beneficial owners of a series of debt securities, issue additional debt securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the debt securities initially issued. Any such debt securities could be considered part of the same series of debt securities under the indenture as the debt securities initially issued.

The senior debt securities will be issued only in registered form. The subordinated debt securities may be issued in registered form, bearer form, or both; however, unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of subordinated debt securities, the subordinated debt securities will be issued in registered form. If bearer securities are issued, the United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations, procedures and limitations applicable to such bearer securities will be described in the applicable supplement. As currently anticipated, debt securities of a series will trade in book-entry form, and global notes will be issued in physical (paper) form, as described below under "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement."

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities may be presented for exchange, and debt securities other than a global security may be presented for registration of transfer, at the principal trust office of the relevant trustee in New York City. Holders will not have to pay any service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities, but Citigroup may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such registration of transfer. (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 3.06; Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 2.05*) Debt securities in bearer form will be transferable by delivery. Provisions with respect to the exchange of debt securities in bearer form will be described in the applicable supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency, a fiscal agency agreement will be entered into in relation to the debt securities between Citigroup and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as registrar, fiscal agent and principal paying agent. The terms "registrar," "fiscal agent," and "principal paying agent" shall include any successors appointed from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the fiscal agency agreement, and any reference to an "agent" or "agents" shall mean any or all (as applicable) of such persons. The holders of the debt securities are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, the provisions of the fiscal agency agreement. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, copies of the fiscal agency agreement are available for inspection during usual business hours at the principal office of Citibank, N.A., London Branch, located at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, England.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities are intended to qualify as eligible long-term debt for purposes of the TLAC rule. As a result, in the event of a Citigroup bankruptcy or other resolution proceeding, Citigroup's losses and any losses incurred by its subsidiaries would be imposed first on Citigroup's shareholders and then on its unsecured creditors, including the holders of the debt securities. Further, in a bankruptcy or other resolution proceeding of Citigroup, any value realized by holders of the debt securities may not be sufficient to repay the amounts owed on the debt securities. For more information about the final TLAC rule and its consequences for the debt securities, you should refer to the section "Managing Global Risk — Liquidity Risk — Long-Term Debt — Resolution Plan" and "— Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)" in Citigroup's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Payments of Principal and Interest** 

Payments of principal and interest on debt securities issued in book-entry form will be made as described below under "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement." Payments of principal and interest on debt securities issued in definitive form, if any, will be made as described below under "— Definitive Notes and Paying Agents."

Interest on the debt securities will be paid on the dates specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities (each, an "interest payment date"). If an interest payment date for a fixed rate note or the maturity date or redemption date of the debt securities falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
interest payment date or on the maturity date or redemption date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, if an interest payment date for a floating rate note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment date will be the next following Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the interest payment date will be the first preceding Business Day.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, all payments of interest on the debt securities will be made to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on the Business Day preceding an interest payment date.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, in this section, "Business Day" means any day which is a day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business (a) in New York, in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities; (b) in New York, London and Tokyo, in the case of Yen-denominated debt securities; (c) in New York and Sydney, in the case of Australian dollar ("A$")-denominated debt securities; and (d) in New York and London and which is also a TARGET business day ("TARGET"), in the case of Euro-denominated debt securities. A "TARGET business day" is a day on which TARGET 2 is open for the settlement of payment in Euro, and "TARGET 2" is the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer payment system which utilizes a single shared platform and which was launched on November 19, 2007. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated debt securities, "Business Day" shall mean any Toronto business day which is a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign currency deposits and foreign exchange) in Toronto.

If a date for payment of interest or principal on the debt securities 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.

**Interest Rate Determination** 

*Fixed Rate Notes* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each fixed rate note will bear interest from its original issue date, or from the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the rate per annum stated in the applicable supplement until its principal amount is paid or made available for payment.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, interest on each fixed rate note will be payable semi-annually in arrears on the dates set forth in the applicable supplement, with each such day being an interest payment date, and at maturity. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, interest on U.S.-dollar-denominated fixed rate notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. The day-count for fixed rate notes denominated in any other currency will be set forth in the applicable supplement. All U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar and Euro amounts resulting from this calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. All Yen amounts resulting from this calculation will be rounded to the nearest Yen, with five-tenths or more of ¥1 to be rounded upwards to the nearest ¥1 per debt security. The rounding convention for any other currency will be set forth in the applicable supplement. Interest on Australian dollar-denominated debt securities for any period will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and the actual number of days in the year. All Australian dollar amounts resulting from this calculation will be rounded to the nearest Australian cent, with five-tenths or more of A$0.01 to be rounded upwards to the nearest A$0.01 per note.

*Floating Rate Notes – Compounded SOFR Notes* 

SOFR is published by the NY Federal Reserve and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. The NY Federal Reserve reports that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate, plus bilateral U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement ("repo") transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the "FICC"), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTC"). SOFR is filtered by the NY Federal Reserve to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions considered to be "specials". According to the NY Federal Reserve, "specials" are repos for specific-issue collateral which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular security.

The NY Federal Reserve reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon, which currently acts as the clearing bank for the tri-party repo market, as well as General Collateral Finance Repo transaction data and data on bilateral U.S. Treasury repo transactions cleared through the FICC's delivery-versus-payment service. NY Federal Reserve states that it obtains information from DTCC Solutions LLC, an affiliate of DTC. The NY Federal Reserve currently publishes the Secured Overnight Financing Rate daily on its website at https://apps.newyorkfed.org/markets/autorates/sofr. The NY Federal Reserve states on its publication page for SOFR that use of SOFR is subject to important disclaimers, limitations and indemnification obligations, including that NY Federal Reserve may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of SOFR at any time without notice.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each Compounded SOFR note will bear interest at an annual rate initially equal to Compounded SOFR (as defined below) plus any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the second Business Day (as defined below) following each interest period end date (as specified in the note and the applicable supplement); *provided* that the interest payment date with respect to the final interest period will be a redemption date, if applicable, or the maturity date.

Interest for each interest period will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the SOFR note by the product of (i) Compounded SOFR plus the applicable spread or spread multiplier (as specified in the note and the applicable supplement) multiplied by (ii) the quotient of actual number of calendar days in such interest period divided by 360; *provided* that in no event will the interest payable on the SOFR notes be less than zero. Interest will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

"Interest period" means the period from, and including, each interest period end date (as specified in the note and the applicable supplement) to, but excluding, the next succeeding interest period end date; *provided* that, if Citigroup has an option to early redeem the Compounded SOFR notes, the interest period following an election by Citigroup to redeem the notes, and the final interest period will be the period from, and including, the immediately preceding interest period end date to, but excluding, the redemption date or the maturity date; and *provided further* that Compounded SOFR for each calendar day from, and including, the Rate Cut-Off Date (as defined below) to, but excluding, the redemption date or the maturity date will equal SOFR in respect of the Rate Cut-Off Date.

In the event that any interest period end date (other than a redemption date or the maturity date) is not a Business Day (as defined below), then such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the interest period end date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. In the event that the maturity date or a redemption date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then such date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue with respect to such postponement.

"*do*", for any interest period, is the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in the relevant interest period.

"*i*" is a series of whole numbers from one to *do*, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in the relevant interest period.

"SOFR*i*", for any day "*i*" in the relevant interest period, is a reference rate equal to SOFR in respect of that day.

York City time) on the NY Federal Reserve's Website on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following such day ("SOFR Determination Time"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if the rate specified in (1) above does not so appear, unless a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred as described in (3) below, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published on the NY Federal Reserve's Website for the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate was published on the NY Federal Reserve's Website; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the relevant
interest period end date, the calculation agent will use the Benchmark Replacement to determine the rate and for all other purposes relating to the notes.

(b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

*Floating Rate Notes, except Compounded SOFR Notes* 

Each floating rate note will bear interest at the interest rate specified in the supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, interest on each floating rate note will be payable quarterly in arrears on the dates set forth in the applicable supplement, with each such day being an interest payment date, and at maturity. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, interest on floating rate notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period and a 360-day year. An interest period is the period commencing on an interest payment date and ending on the day preceding the next following interest payment date, except that the first interest period is the period commencing on the date the floating rate note is issued and ending on the day preceding the next following interest payment date.

The interest rate for each offering of floating rate notes for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to the base rate specified in the applicable supplement, as determined on the relevant interest determination date (defined below for each base rate), plus or minus any spread or multiplied by any spread multiplier, and in no event will the interest payable on a floating rate note be less than zero (unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of floating rate notes). A basis point, or bp, equals one-hundredth of a percentage point. The spread is the number of basis points specified in the applicable supplement and the spread multiplier is the percentage specified in the applicable supplement.

Each floating rate note will bear interest for each interest period at a rate determined by Citibank, N.A., acting as calculation agent. Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform the trustee and Citigroup 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 such floating rate notes, the trustee and Citigroup. Upon request from any noteholder, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate in effect on the notes for the current interest period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next interest period.

The applicable supplement will designate one of the following base rates as applicable to an offering of floating rate notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• SOFR Index;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• LIBOR;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Treasury Rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Prime Rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EURIBOR;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CDOR;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BBSW Rate; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such other rate or interest rate formula as is set forth in the applicable supplement and in such floating rate
note.

When used in describing the various base rates, "index maturity" is the period of maturity of the instrument or obligation from which the base rate is calculated.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each of the following base rates will be determined by the calculation agent as described below. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, all percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a floating rate note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward. All currency amounts used in, or resulting from, the calculation on floating rate notes will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit. For purposes of rounding, .005 of a unit shall be rounded upward.

***Compounded SOFR Index Notes****.* Each Compounded SOFR Index note will bear interest for each interest period at an interest rate equal to Compounded SOFR Index (as defined below) and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement.

Interest on the Compounded SOFR Index notes will be determined by the calculation agent on each interest determination date. The interest determination date for the Compounded SOFR Index notes is the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days (as defined below) before each interest payment date.

For the purposes of calculating interest with respect to any interest period:

"Compounded SOFR Index" means the rate computed in accordance with the following formula, with the resulting percentage being rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (0.00000005 being rounded upwards) :

![LOGO](g452108g30c88.jpg)

where:

"SOFR Index<sub>Start</sub>" is the SOFR Index value for the day which is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date of the relevant interest period;

"SOFR Index<sub>End</sub>" is the SOFR Index value for the day which is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the interest payment date relating to such interest period; and

"d<sub>c</sub>" is the number of calendar days in the relevant Observation Period.

"SOFR Index", with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the SOFR Index value as published by the SOFR Administrator as such index appears on the SOFR
Administrator's Website at 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such U.S. Government Securities Business Day (the "SOFR Index Determination Time"); or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if a SOFR Index value specified in (1) above does not so appear at the SOFR Index Determination Time,
then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to
SOFR, then Compounded SOFR Index shall be the rate determined pursuant to the "SOFR Index Unavailability" provisions below; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR,
then Compounded SOFR Index shall be the rate determined pursuant to the "Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event" provisions below

where:

"SOFR" means the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate as provided by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator's website.

"SOFR Administrator" means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of SOFR); and

"SOFR Administrator's Website" means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the website of a successor administrator of SOFR.

"Observation Period" means, in respect of each interest period, the period from, and including, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date in such interest period to, but excluding, the date two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the interest payment date for such interest period.

"U.S. Government Securities Business Day" means any day except for a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

*SOFR Index Unavailability* 

If SOFR Index<sub>Start</sub> or SOFR Index<sub>End</sub> is not published on the relevant interest determination date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR, "Compounded SOFR Index" will mean, for the relevant interest period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator's Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/treasury-repo-reference-rates-information. For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to "calculation period" shall be replaced with "Observation Period" and the words "that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days" shall be removed. If the daily SOFR ("SOFR*i*") does not so appear for any day, "*i*" in the Observation Period, SOFR*i* for such day "*i*" shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator's Website.

The SOFR Index, which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York started publishing on March 2, 2020, measures the cumulative impact of compounding the SOFR on a unit of investment over time, with the initial value set to 1.00000000 on April 2, 2018, the first value date of SOFR.

***LIBOR Notes*.** Each LIBOR note will bear interest for each interest period at an interest rate equal to LIBOR and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement.

The calculation agent will determine LIBOR on each interest determination date. The interest determination date is the second London business day prior to each interest period.

On an interest determination date, the calculation agent will determine LIBOR for each interest period as follows.

The calculation agent will determine the offered rates for deposits in a principal amount equal to at least $1,000,000 or the approximate equivalent in the specified currency for the period of the index maturity specified in the applicable supplement commencing on the interest determination date, which appear on the "designated LIBOR page" at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If "Reuters LIBOR01" is designated, or if no LIBOR page is specified in the applicable supplement as

market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The calculation agent will request that the principal London offices of those four selected banks provide their
offered quotations to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the interest determination date. These quotations shall be for deposits in the specified currency for the period of the specified index
maturity, commencing on the interest determination date. Offered quotations must be based on a principal amount equal to at least $1,000,000 or the approximate equivalent in the specified currency that is representative of a single transaction in
such market at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If two or more quotations are provided, LIBOR for the interest period will be the arithmetic average of those
quotations.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If fewer than two quotations are provided, the calculation agent (after consultation with Citigroup) will
select three major banks in New York City and follow the steps in the two bullet points below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The calculation agent will then determine LIBOR for the interest period as the arithmetic average of rates quoted
by those three major banks in New York City to leading European banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date. The rates quoted will be for loans in the specified currency, for the period of the specified
index maturity, commencing on the interest determination date. Rates quoted must be based on a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or the approximate equivalent in the specified currency that is representative of a single transaction in such
market at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If fewer than three New York City banks selected by the calculation agent are quoting rates, LIBOR for the
interest period will be the same as for the immediately preceding interest period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing two paragraphs, if Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) determines on or prior to the relevant interest determination date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each, as defined below) have occurred with respect to LIBOR, then the provisions set forth below under "Effect of Benchmark Transition Event", which is referred to as the benchmark transition provisions, will thereafter apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR notes. In accordance with the benchmark transition provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the amount of interest that will be payable for each interest period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the Benchmark Replacement (as defined below) and the margin specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

*Effect of Benchmark Transition Event*

Fallback Adjustment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Citigroup
(or one of its affiliates) giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time.

"Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes that Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Citigroup (or such affiliate) decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if Citigroup (or such affiliate) determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as Citigroup (or such affiliate) determines is reasonably necessary).

The calculation agent will determine the Treasury Rate on each interest determination date. The interest determination date for each interest period will be the day of the week in which the beginning of that interest period falls on which treasury securities are normally auctioned. Treasury securities are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week unless that day is a legal holiday. In that case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding an interest period, that Friday will be the interest determination date pertaining to the interest period commencing in the next succeeding week. If an auction date falls on any day that would otherwise be an interest determination date for a Treasury Rate note, then that interest determination date will instead be the business day immediately following the auction date.

Unless "Constant Maturity" is specified in the applicable supplement, the Treasury Rate for each interest period will be the rate for the auction held on the Treasury Rate determination date for such interest period of treasury securities (as defined below) as such rate appears on Reuters (or any successor service) on page USAUCTION10 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) ("Reuters Page USAUCTION10") or page USAUCTION11 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) ("Reuters Page USAUCTION11") opposite the caption "INVEST RATE."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If the Treasury rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier of 1) the tenth
calendar day after the interest determination date or, if that day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day, or 2) the business day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be (the
"calculation date"), then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined below) of the rate for the applicable treasury securities as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying the applicable rate, opposite the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High" on the interest determination date.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
calculation date, the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of the applicable treasury securities as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury on the interest determination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) If the rate referred to in clause (2) above is not so announced by the United States Department of the
Treasury, or if the auction is not held, then the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on the interest determination date of the applicable treasury securities published in H.15(519) opposite the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) If the rate referred to in clause (3) is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
calculation date, then the Treasury Rate will be the rate on the calculation date of the applicable treasury securities as published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable
rate, opposite the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" on the interest determination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) If the rate referred to in clause (4) is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
calculation date, then the Treasury Rate will be the rate calculated by the calculation agent as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the interest
determination date, of three primary United States government securities dealers selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with Citigroup), for the issue of treasury securities with a remaining maturity closest to the index maturity
specified in the applicable supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) If the dealers selected by the calculation agent are not quoting bid rates as mentioned in (5) above, then
the Treasury Rate for such interest period will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding interest period. If there was no preceding interest period, the Treasury Rate will be the initial interest rate. Bond Equivalent Yield
will be expressed as a percentage and calculated as follows:

Bond Equivalent Yield = <u> D × N</u> × 100 <br> 360 – (D × M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for treasury securities quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable interest period.

***Prime Rate Notes.*** Prime Rate notes will bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the Prime Rate notes and the applicable supplement.

The calculation agent will determine the Prime Rate for each interest period on each interest determination date. The interest determination date is the second business day prior to each interest period. The Prime Rate will be the rate made available and subsequently published on that date in H.15(519) opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan."

The following procedures will be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be determined as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date, then the Prime Rate
will be the rate on the interest determination date that is published in the H.15 Daily Update other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying that rate, opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the rate referred to above is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the calculation date,
then the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest that appear on the USPRIME1 page (or such other page as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United
States banks) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 page, then the calculation agent will select
three major banks in New York City (after consultation with Citigroup). The Prime Rate will be the arithmetic average of the prime rates quoted by those three banks on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on the interest determination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the banks that the calculation agent selects do not provide quotations as described above, then the Prime Rate
will remain the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding interest period, or if there was no interest period, the rate of interest payable will be the initial interest rate.

"Reuters Screen USPRIME1 page" means the display which appears on the display on Reuters (or any successor service) as page "USPRIME1" (or any other page as may replace such page), for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.

***EURIBOR Notes*.** Each EURIBOR note will bear interest for each interest period at an interest rate equal to EURIBOR and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement.

EURIBOR will be determined on each interest determination date. The interest determination date is the second TARGET business day prior to each interest period.

On an interest determination date, EURIBOR for each interest period will be determined as follows.

The calculation agent will determine the offered rates for deposits in euros for the period of the index maturity specified in the applicable supplement, in amounts of at least €1,000,000, commencing on the interest determination date, which appears on the display on Reuters (or any successor service) on EURIBOR1 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on that date.

If EURIBOR cannot be determined on an interest determination date as described above, then the calculation agent will determine EURIBOR as follows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The calculation agent (after consultation with Citigroup) will select four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank
market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The calculation agent will request that the principal Euro-zone offices of those four selected banks provide
their offered quotations to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the interest determination date. These quotations shall be for deposits in Euros for the period of the specified index maturity,
commencing on the interest determination date. Offered quotations must be based on a principal amount equal to at least €1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in such market at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If two or more quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic average of those quotations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If less than two quotations are provided, the calculation agent (after consultation with Citigroup) will select
three major banks in the Euro-zone and follow the steps in the two bullet points below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The calculation agent will then determine EURIBOR for the interest period as the arithmetic average of rates
quoted by those three major banks in the Euro-zone to leading European banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the interest determination date. The rates quoted will be for loans in Euros, for the period of the specified index maturity,
commencing on the interest determination date. Rates quoted must be based on a principal amount of at least €1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in such market at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the banks so selected by the calculation agent are not quoting rates as described above, EURIBOR for the
interest period will be the same as for the immediately preceding interest period.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or prior to any interest determination date, Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) determines that EURIBOR has been discontinued or is permanently no longer being published, Citigroup (or such affiliate) will use a substitute or successor base rate that it has determined, in its sole discretion after consulting any source it deems to be reasonable, is (a) the industry-accepted substitute or successor base rate or (b) if there is no such industry-accepted substitute or successor base rate, a substitute or successor base rate that is most comparable to EURIBOR.

Upon selection of a substitute or successor base rate, Citigroup (or such affiliate) may determine, in its sole discretion after consulting any source it deems to be reasonable, the day count, the business day convention, the definition of business day, the interest determination date and any other relevant methodology or definition for calculating such substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such substitute or successor base rate comparable to EURIBOR, in a manner that is consistent with any industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate.

"Euro-zone" means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopted the Euro as their single currency.

***CDOR Rate Notes.*** Each CDOR note will bear interest for each interest period at an interest rate equal to the Canadian dollar three-month Banker's Acceptance Rate ("CDOR") and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement.

CDOR will be determined on each interest determination date. The interest determination date is the first day of such interest period, and an interest period is the period commencing on an interest period date and ending on the day preceding the next following interest payment date, provided that, the first interest period will commence on the date of issuance of the notes and will end on the day preceding the next following interest payment date.

CDOR will be the average bid rate of interest (expressed as an annual percentage rate) rounded to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of 1.00% (with .000005 per cent being rounded up) for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances having a maturity of three months, as such rate appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page, as published by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited or any successor thereto, as administrator (the "Administrator") in accordance with its CDOR Methodology, as amended from time to time, at approximately 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on such interest determination date. The "Reuters Screen CDOR Page" means the display designated as page "CDOR" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the CDOR page on that or any other service, by the Administrator) for purposes of publishing or displaying, among other things, Canadian dollar bankers' acceptance rates.

If such rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page on such day, CDOR for such period will be determined using the display designated as page "CDOR" on Bloomberg or an equivalent service that displays average bid rates of interest for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances with maturities of three months (an "Alternative CDOR Page") as of the time of day at which such Alternative CDOR Page becomes available.

If no such Alternative CDOR Page is available on such day, then CDOR for such interest period will be the average of the bid rates of interest (expressed and rounded as set forth above) for Canadian dollar bankers' acceptances with maturities of three months for same-day settlement as quoted by three of the five largest Schedule I banks (as defined in the *Bank Act* (Canada)) selected by Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) as may quote such a rate as of approximately 10:15 a.m., Toronto time, on the first business day of such interest period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Citigroup (or one of its affiliates) determines that CDOR has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued, then Citigroup (or such affiliate) shall use, as a substitute for CDOR and for each future interest payment date, the alternative reference rate selected or recommended by the central bank, monetary authority, relevant regulatory supervisor or any similar institution (including any committee or working group thereof), or identified through any other applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance, that is consistent with accepted market practice for debt obligations such as the CDOR notes (the "Alternative

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Rate"). As part of such substitution, Citigroup (or such affiliate) shall make such adjustments to the Alternative Rate and the spread thereon, as well as the business day convention, interest payment dates and related provisions and definitions, in each case that are consistent with accepted market practice or applicable regulatory or legislative action or guidance for the use of such Alternative Rate for debt obligations such as the CDOR notes. If Citigroup (or such affiliate) determines that there is no clear market consensus as to an Alternative Rate, Citigroup (or such affiliate) shall determine an appropriate alternative reference rate and adjustments thereto, and the decision shall be binding on the calculation agent and the noteholders. If Citigroup (or such affiliate) is unable to determine an appropriate alternative reference rate and adjustments, CDOR for such interest period shall be CDOR for the immediately preceding interest period, and the process set forth in this paragraph to determine an Alternative Rate shall be repeated for each subsequent interest period until such time as an Alternative Rate is determined or, in the case of the first interest period during the floating rate period, the most recent rate that could have been determined in accordance with this provision had the interest rate on the notes been a floating rate during the fixed rate period.

***BBSW Rate Notes*.** Each BBSW note will bear interest at a rate equal to the Australian dollar Bank-Bill Reference Rate (the "BBSW Rate") and any spread or spread multiplier specified in the note and the applicable supplement.

The calculation agent will determine the BBSW Rate for each interest period on each interest determination date. The interest determination date is the first day of each interest period. The BBSW Rate will be the rate for prime bank eligible securities having a tenor closest to the interest period which is designated as the "AVG MID" on the Reuters Screen BBSW Page at approximately 10:30 a.m. (or such other time at which such rate customarily appears on that page), Sydney time, on the interest determination date.

If the rate is not published prior to 10:45 a.m. (or such other time that is 15 minutes after the then-prevailing time), Sydney time, on the interest determination date, or if it is displayed but the calculation agent determines that there is an obvious error in that rate, then the BBSW Rate will be the rate determined by an alternative financial institution appointed by the calculation agent (upon written direction of Citigroup) to be most comparable to the BBSW Rate and which is consistent with industry accepted practices. Such rate will notified in writing to the calculation agent (with a copy to the Citigroup) by such alternate financial institution..

"Reuters Screen BBSW page" means the display which appears on the display on Reuters (or any successor service) as page "BBSW" (or any other page as may replace such page), for the purpose of displaying BBSW rates or base lending rates of major Australian banks.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest will be expressed as a percentage per annum and will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/10,000 of 1% (.0001), with five hundred thousandths of a percentage point rounded upward.

*Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes and Fixed Rate Reset Notes.* 

The applicable supplement may provide that a debt security will be a fixed rate note for a specified portion of its term and a floating rate note for the remainder of its term. In such an event, the interest rate on the debt security will be determined as if it were a fixed rate note and a floating rate note for each respective period, all as specified herein and in the applicable supplement. The applicable supplement may provide that a debt security will be a fixed rate note for a specified portion of its term and then reset that fixed rate at specified intervals for the remainder of its term. In such event, the interest rate on the debt security will be determined as specified herein and in the applicable supplement.

**Dual Currency Debt Securities** 

Citigroup may from time to time offer dual currency debt securities on which Citigroup has the option of making all payments of principal and interest on such debt securities, the payments on which would otherwise be

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
made in the specified currency of those debt securities, in the optional payment currency specified in the applicable supplement. This option will be exercisable in whole but not in part on an option election date, which will be any of the dates specified in the applicable supplement. Information as to the relative value of the specified currency compared to the optional payment currency will be set forth in the applicable supplement.

The supplement for each issuance of dual currency debt securities will specify, among other things, the specified currency; the optional payment currency; and the designated exchange rate. The designated exchange rate will be a fixed exchange rate used for converting amounts denominated in the specified currency into amounts denominated in the optional payment currency. The supplement will also specify the option election dates and interest payment dates for the related issuance of dual currency debt securities. Each option election date will be a particular number of days before an interest payment date or maturity, as set forth in the applicable supplement. Each option election date will be the date on which Citigroup may select whether to make all scheduled payments due thereafter in the optional payment currency rather than in the specified currency.

If Citigroup makes such an election, the amount payable in the optional payment currency will be determined using the designated exchange rate specified in the applicable supplement. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, if such an election is made, notice of the election will be provided in accordance with the terms of the dual currency debt securities within two business days of the option election date. The notice will state (1) the first date, whether an interest payment date and/or maturity, on which scheduled payments in the optional payment currency will be made and (2) the designated exchange rate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable supplement, any such notice by Citigroup, once given, may not be withdrawn. The equivalent value in the specified currency of payments made after such an election may be less, at the then current exchange rate, than if Citigroup had made the payment in the specified currency.

For United States federal income tax purposes, holders of dual currency debt securities may need to comply with rules which differ from the general rules applicable to holders of other types of debt securities offered by this prospectus. The United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of dual currency debt securities will be set forth in the applicable supplement.

**Extension of Maturity** 

If so stated in the supplement relating to a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup may extend the stated maturity of those debt securities for an extension period. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, such an extension period will be one or more periods of one to five whole years, up to but not beyond the final maturity date set forth in the supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup may exercise its option for a particular offering of debt securities by notifying the trustee for that series at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the original stated maturity of the debt security. Not later than 40 days prior to the original stated maturity of the debt security, the trustee for the debt securities will provide notice of the extension to the holder, in accordance with "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement — Notices" below. The extension notice will set forth among other items: the election of Citigroup to extend the stated maturity of the debt security; the new stated maturity; in the case of a fixed rate note, the interest rate applicable to the extension period; in the case of a floating rate note, the spread, spread multiplier or method of calculation applicable to the extension period; and any provisions for redemption during the extension period, including the date or dates on which, or the period or periods during which, and the price or prices at which, a redemption may occur during the extension period.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, upon the provision by such trustee of an extension notice in accordance with "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement — Notices" below, the stated maturity of the debt security will be extended automatically, and, except as modified by the extension notice and as described in the next paragraph, the debt security will have the same terms as prior to the extension notice.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Despite the foregoing and unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, not later than 20 days prior to the original stated maturity of the debt security, Citigroup may, at its option, revoke the interest rate, or the spread or spread multiplier, as the case may be, provided for in the extension notice for the debt security and establish for the extension period a higher interest rate, in the case of a fixed rate note, or a higher spread or spread multiplier, in the case of a floating rate note. Citigroup may so act by causing the trustee for the debt security to provide notice of the higher interest rate or higher spread or spread multiplier, as the case may be, in accordance with "— Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement — Notices" below, to the holder of the debt security. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the notice will be irrevocable. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, all debt securities for which the stated maturity is extended will bear the higher interest rate, in the case of fixed rate notes, or higher spread or spread multiplier, in the case of floating rate notes, for the extension period, whether or not tendered for repayment.

If so stated in the supplement relating to a particular offering of debt securities, the holder of a debt security of which Citigroup elects to extend maturity may have the option of early redemption, repayment or repurchase.

**Listing** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, the debt securities will not be listed on any U.S. or international stock exchange.

**Payment of Additional Amounts** 

*Obligation to Pay Additional Amounts* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup will pay additional amounts to the beneficial owner of any debt security that is a non-United States person in order to ensure that every net payment on such debt security 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 debt security means a payment by Citigroup 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 debt security.

*Exceptions* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup will not be required to pay additional amounts, however, in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (13) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• having a relationship with the United States as a citizen, resident or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• having had such a relationship in the past; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being considered as having had such a relationship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being treated as present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being treated as having been present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States in the past; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security is reduced as a result of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld in whole or in part by reason of the beneficial owner being or having been any of the following (as these terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• personal holding company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• passive foreign investment company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• corporation which has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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
Citigroup entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank that has invested in a debt security 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Additional amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner of a debt security that is a:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fiduciary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limited liability company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other fiscally transparent entity,

or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the debt security, or any portion of the debt security. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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 debt security by Citigroup or a paying agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security 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 debt security for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for,
whichever occurs later.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security is reduced as a result of any:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• estate tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inheritance tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• gift tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• excise tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transfer tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• wealth tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• personal property tax; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any similar tax, assessment, withholding, deduction or other governmental charge.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(11) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security is reduced as a result of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from a payment of principal or interest on a note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(12) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security is reduced as a result of any
withholding, deduction, tax, duty assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the holder or beneficial owner of a debt security (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial
owner holds the debt security or through which payment on the debt security is made) to take any action (including entering into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")) or to comply with any applicable certification,
documentation, information or other reporting requirement or agreement concerning accounts maintained by the holder or beneficial owner (or any such financial institution), or concerning ownership of the holder or beneficial owner, or any
substantially similar requirement or agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(13) Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a debt security is reduced as a result of any
combination of items (1) through (12) above.

Except as specifically provided in this section ("Payment of Additional Amounts") and under "— Redemption for Tax Purposes" below, Citigroup will not be required to make any payment of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of such government.

or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust; or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Additionally, "non-United States person" means a person who is not a United States person, and "United States" means the United States of America, including the states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, but excluding its territories and possessions.

**Redemption for Tax Purposes** 

*Redemption Procedure* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup may, at its option, redeem a series of debt securities as a whole, but not in part, on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, only in the circumstances described in items (1) or (2) below under "— Redemption Circumstances." To redeem, Citigroup must pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debt securities, together with accrued interest to the redemption date.

*Redemption Circumstances* 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, there are two sets of circumstances in which Citigroup may redeem the debt securities in the manner described above under "— Redemption Procedure":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Citigroup may redeem a series of debt securities if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup becomes or will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described under "— Payment
of Additional Amounts" above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 the date of the supplement relating to the original issuance of
notes which form a series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup 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 Citigroup.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Citigroup may also redeem a series of debt securities if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States on or after the date of the supplement relating to
the original issuance of notes which form a series, whether or not such act is taken in relation to Citigroup or any subsidiary, that results in a substantial probability that Citigroup will or may be required to pay additional amounts as described
under "— Payment of Additional Amounts" above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup 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 Citigroup; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup 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 Citigroup will or may be required to pay the additional amounts described under "— Payment of Additional Amounts" above, and delivers to the trustee a certificate, signed by
a duly authorized officer, stating that based on such opinion Citigroup is entitled to redeem a series of debt securities pursuant to their terms.

**Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, we will issue debt securities under a book-entry system in the form of one or more global securities. We will register the global securities in the name of a depositary or its nominee and deposit the global securities with that depositary. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or DTC, will be the depositary if we use a depositary.

Following the issuance of a global security in registered form, the depositary will credit the accounts of its participants with the debt securities upon our instructions. Only persons who hold directly or indirectly through financial institutions that are participants in the depositary can hold beneficial interests in the global securities. Because the laws of some jurisdictions require certain types of purchasers to take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form, you may encounter difficulties in your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in a global security.

So long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global security, we and the relevant trustee will treat the depositary as the sole owner or holder of the debt securities for purposes of the applicable indenture. Therefore, except as set forth below, you will not be entitled to have debt securities registered in your name or to receive physical delivery of certificates representing the debt securities. Accordingly, you will have to rely on the procedures of the depositary and the participant in the depositary through whom you hold your beneficial interest in order to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. We understand that under existing practices, the depositary would act upon the instructions of a participant or authorize that participant to take any action that a holder is entitled to take.

You may elect to hold interests in the global securities either in the United States through DTC or outside the United States through Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") or Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., or its successor, as operator of the Euroclear System, ("Euroclear") if you are a participant of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Interests held through Clearstream and Euroclear will be recorded on DTC's books as being held by the U.S. depositary for each of Clearstream and Euroclear, which U.S. depositaries will in turn hold interests on behalf of their participants' customers' securities accounts.

As long as the debt securities are represented by the global securities, we will pay principal of and interest and premium, if any, on those securities to or as directed by DTC as the registered holder of the global securities. Payments to DTC will be in immediately available funds by wire transfer. DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, will credit the relevant accounts of their participants on the applicable date. Neither we nor the relevant trustee will be responsible for making any payments to participants or customers of participants or for maintaining any records relating to the holdings of participants and their customers, and you will have to rely on the procedures of the depositary and its participants.

If an issue of debt securities is denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, we will make payments of principal and any interest in the foreign currency in which the debt securities are denominated or, only for notes held through DTC, in U.S. dollars. See "Currency Conversions and Foreign Exchange Risks Affecting Debt Securities Denominated in a Foreign Currency — Currency Conversion" below.

*Settlement* 

You will be required to make your initial payment for the debt securities in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (based on European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving debt securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of debt securities received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such debt securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of debt securities by or through a Clearstream customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of debt securities among participants of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.

*Definitive Notes and Paying Agents* 

A beneficial owner of book-entry securities represented by a global security may exchange the securities for definitive (paper) securities only if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such global security and Citigroup is
unable to find a qualified replacement for the depositary within 90 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) at any time the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Citigroup in its sole discretion decides to allow some or all book-entry securities to be exchangeable for
definitive securities in registered form.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, any global security that is exchangeable will be exchangeable in whole for definitive securities in registered form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. Definitive notes will be registered in the name or names of the person or persons specified by the depositary in a written instruction to the registrar of the securities. The depositary may base its written instruction upon directions it receives from its participants.

If any of the events described above occurs, then the beneficial owners will be notified through the chain of intermediaries that definitive debt securities are available and notice will be published as described below under "— Notices." Beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will then be entitled (1) to receive physical delivery in certificated form of definitive debt securities equal in principal amount to their beneficial interest and (2) to have the definitive debt securities registered in their names. Thereafter, the holders of the definitive debt securities will be recognized as the "holders" of the debt securities under the applicable indenture.

The applicable indenture provides for the replacement of a mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed definitive debt security, so long as the applicant furnishes to Citigroup and the trustee such security or indemnity and such evidence of ownership as they may require.

In the event definitive debt securities are issued, the holders of definitive debt securities will be able to receive payments of principal and interest on their debt securities at the office of Citigroup's paying agent

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
maintained in the Borough of Manhattan (in the case of holders of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities or holders of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency electing to receive payments in U.S. dollars) and in London (in the case of holders of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency not electing to receive payments in U.S. dollars). Payment of principal of a definitive debt security may be made only against surrender of the debt security to one of Citigroup's paying agents. Citigroup also has the option of making payments of interest by mailing checks to the registered holders of the debt securities.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, Citigroup's paying agent in the Borough of Manhattan will be the corporate trust office of Citibank, N.A., located at 388 Greenwich Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York. Citigroup's paying agent in London is Citibank, N.A., London Branch, located at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, England.

In the event definitive debt securities are issued, the holders of definitive debt securities will be able to transfer their securities, in whole or in part, by surrendering the debt securities for registration of transfer at the office of Citibank, N.A. listed above, duly endorsed by or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to Citigroup and the securities registrar. A form of such instrument of transfer will be obtainable at the relevant office of Citibank, N.A.. Upon surrender, Citigroup will execute, and the trustee will authenticate and deliver, new debt securities to the designated transferee in the amount being transferred, and a new debt security for any amount not being transferred will be issued to the transferor. Such new securities will be delivered free of charge at the relevant office of Citibank, N.A., as requested by the owner of such new debt securities. Citigroup will not charge any fee for the registration of transfer or exchange, except that it may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any applicable tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer.

*Notices* 

So long as the global securities are held on behalf of DTC or any other clearing system, notices to holders of securities represented by a beneficial interest in the global securities may be given by delivery of the relevant notice to DTC or the alternative clearing system, as the case may be.

**Governing Law** 

The senior debt indenture, the subordinated debt indenture and the debt securities for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

**Unclaimed Funds** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, all funds deposited with the relevant trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal, interest, premium or additional amounts in respect of the debt securities that remain unclaimed for two years after the maturity date of the debt securities will be repaid to Citigroup upon its request. Thereafter, any right of any noteholder to such funds shall be enforceable only against Citigroup, and the trustee and paying agents will have no liability therefor.

**Prescription** 

Under New York's statute of limitations, any legal action to enforce Citigroup's payment obligations evidenced by the debt securities must be commenced within six years after payment is due. Thereafter Citigroup's payment obligations will generally become unenforceable.

**Senior Debt** 

The senior debt securities will be issued under the senior debt indenture, will be unsecured obligations of Citigroup and will rank on an equal basis with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of Citigroup, whether

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
existing at the time of issuance or created thereafter. In the event of (i) any conflict between a provision of the senior debt indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA") or (ii) the omission of a provision required to be included in the senior debt indenture by the TIA, the TIA will control.

**Subordinated Debt** 

The subordinated debt securities will be issued under the subordinated debt indenture, will be unsecured obligations of Citigroup, will rank subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the subordinated debt indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" (as defined below) of Citigroup and will rank equally with all other unsecured and subordinated indebtedness of Citigroup, whether existing at the time of issuance or created thereafter, other than subordinated indebtedness which is designated as junior to the subordinated debt securities. In the event of (i) any conflict between a provision of the subordinated debt indenture and the TIA, or (ii) the omission of a provision required to be included in the subordinated debt indenture by the TIA, the TIA will control.

If Citigroup defaults in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when it becomes due and payable after any applicable grace period, then, unless and until the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, Citigroup cannot make a payment on account of or redeem or otherwise acquire the subordinated debt securities. Nevertheless, holders of subordinated debt securities may still receive and retain:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securities of Citigroup or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment that
are subordinate, at least to the same extent that the subordinated debt securities are subordinate to Senior Indebtedness; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payments made from a defeasance trust as described below.

If there is any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding relating to Citigroup, its creditors or its property, then all Senior Indebtedness must be paid in full before any payment may be made to any holders of subordinated debt securities. Holders of subordinated debt securities must return and deliver any payments received by them, other than in a plan of reorganization or through a defeasance trust as described below, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full. (*Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 14.01*).

"Senior Indebtedness" means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of (A) indebtedness for money borrowed and
(B) indebtedness evidenced by securities, notes, debentures, bonds or other similar instruments issued by Citigroup, including all indebtedness (whether now or hereafter outstanding) issued under (i) an indenture dated November 13,
2013 between Citigroup and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as the same has been or may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and (ii) an indenture dated March 15, 1987, between Citigroup and The Bank of New York
Mellon, as successor trustee, as the same has been or may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) all capital lease obligations of Citigroup;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) all obligations of Citigroup issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property, all conditional sale
obligations of Citigroup and all obligations of Citigroup under any conditional sale or title retention agreement, but excluding trade accounts payable in the ordinary course of business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of Citigroup in respect of any letters of credit, bankers
acceptances, security purchase facilities or similar credit transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) all obligations of Citigroup in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements, interest rate future or
option contracts, currency swap agreements, currency future or option contracts or other similar agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (5) above of other persons for the payment
of which Citigroup is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise; and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (6) above of other persons secured by any
lien on any property or asset of Citigroup, whether or not such obligation is assumed by Citigroup;

except that Senior Indebtedness does not include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any other indebtedness issued under the subordinated debt indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) all indebtedness (whether now or hereafter outstanding) issued to a Citigroup Trust under (i) the indenture, dated as of October 7, 1996, between Citigroup and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee, as the same has been or may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time and (ii) the indenture, dated as of July 23, 2004, between Citigroup and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as trustee, as the same has been or may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the "junior subordinated debt indentures").;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) all indebtedness (whether now or hereafter outstanding) issued to a Citigroup Trust under the indenture, dated as of June 28, 2007, between Citigroup and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), as trustee, as the same has been or may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time the "junior junior subordinated debt indenture"));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) any guarantee in respect of any preferred securities, capital securities or preference stock of a Citigroup Trust; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) any indebtedness or any guarantee that is by its terms subordinated to, or ranks equally with, the subordinated notes and the issuance of which (x) has received the concurrence or approval of the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or (y) does not at the time of issuance prevent the subordinated notes from qualifying for Tier 2 capital treatment (irrespective of any limits on the amount of Citigroup's Tier 2 capital) under the applicable capital adequacy guidelines, regulations, policies or published interpretations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any applicable concurrence or approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or its staff.

"Citigroup Trust" means each of Citigroup Capital III, Citigroup Capital XIII and Citigroup Capital XVIII, each a Delaware statutory trust, or any other similar trust created for the purpose of issuing preferred securities in connection with the issuances of junior subordinated notes under the junior subordinated debt indentures or the junior junior subordinated debt indenture.

Such Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and be entitled to the benefits of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any term of such Senior Indebtedness.

**Covenants** 

*Limitations on Liens.* The senior debt indenture provides that Citigroup will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed if such indebtedness is secured by a pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any Significant Subsidiary, without providing that each series of senior debt securities and, at Citigroup's option, any other senior indebtedness ranking equally with such series of senior debt securities, is secured equally and ratably with such indebtedness. This limitation shall not apply to indebtedness secured by a pledge of, lien on or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation at the time it becomes a Significant Subsidiary, including any renewals or extensions of such secured indebtedness (*Senior Debt Indenture*, *Section 5.04*). The subordinated debt indenture does not contain a similar provision.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
"Significant Subsidiary" means a Subsidiary, including its Subsidiaries, which meets any of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup's and its other Subsidiaries' investments in and advances to the Subsidiary exceed
10 percent of the total assets of Citigroup and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup's and its other Subsidiaries' proportionate share of the total assets of the Subsidiary after
intercompany eliminations exceeds 10 percent of the total assets of Citigroup and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Citigroup's and its other Subsidiaries' equity in the income from continuing operations before income
taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of such income of Citigroup and its Subsidiaries consolidated for the most recently completed fiscal year.

"Subsidiary" means any person of which a majority of the voting power of the outstanding ownership interests (excluding ownership interests entitled to voting power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) shall at the time be owned, directly or indirectly, by Citigroup, and/or one or more Subsidiaries, except securities entitled to vote for directors only upon the happening of a contingency. For this purpose, "voting power" means power to vote in an ordinary election of directors (or, in the case of a person that is not a corporation, ordinarily to appoint or approve the appointment of persons holding similar positions).

"Voting Stock" means capital stock, the holders of which have general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect at least a majority of the board of directors of a corporation, except capital stock that carries only the right to vote conditioned on the happening of an event regardless of whether such event shall have happened (*Senior Debt Indenture*, *Section 5.04*).

*Limitations on Mergers and Sales of Assets*. The indentures provide that Citigroup will not merge or consolidate with another entity or sell other than for cash or lease all or substantially all its assets to another entity, except if such lease or sale is to one or more of its Subsidiaries, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• either (1) Citigroup is the continuing entity, or (2) the successor entity, if other than Citigroup, in
the case of the senior debt indenture is a U.S. entity, and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture the obligations evidenced by the securities issued pursuant to the indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the case of the senior debt indenture or if provided in the applicable supplement for a series of subordinated
debt, immediately after the transaction, there would not be any default in the performance of any covenant or condition of the indenture *(Senior Debt Indenture*, *Sections 5.05 and 16.05*; *Subordinated Debt Indenture*, *Section 15.01*).

*Limitations on Future Issuances of Subordinated Debt Securities under the Subordinated Debt Indenture.* The subordinated debt indenture provides that any subordinated debt securities issued under the subordinated debt indenture shall either (x) be issued with the concurrence or approval of the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the staff of the Federal Reserve System or (y) qualify at the time of issuance for Tier 2 capital treatment (irrespective of any limits on the amount of Citigroup's Tier 2 capital) under the applicable capital adequacy guidelines, regulations, policies or published interpretations of the Federal Reserve System.

Other than the restrictions described above, the indentures do not contain any covenants or provisions that would protect holders of the debt securities in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

**Modification of the Indentures** 

Under the indentures, Citigroup and the relevant trustee can enter into supplemental indentures to establish the form and terms of any series of debt securities without obtaining the consent of any holder of debt securities

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
in certain circumstances described in the indentures, including to conform the terms of any series of debt securities to the terms specified in the applicable offering document.

Citigroup and the trustee may, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of a series or at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the subordinated debt securities of a series that, in each case, are affected by such modification, modify the applicable indenture or the rights of the holders of the securities of such series to be affected.

No such modification may, without the consent of the holder of each security so affected:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the fixed maturity of any such securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the rate of interest on such securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the principal amount of such securities or the premium, if any, on such securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the amount of the principal of any securities issued originally at a discount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the currency in which any such securities are payable; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impair the right to sue for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity of such securities.

In addition, no such modification may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduce the percentage of securities referred to above whose holders need to consent to the modification without
the consent of such holders; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• change the rights, duties or immunities of the trustee under the indentures unless the trustee agrees to such
change *(Senior Debt Indenture, Sections 15.01, 15.02 and 15.03; Subordinated Debt Indenture, Sections 13.01, 13.02 and 13.03*).

In addition, the subordinated debt indenture may not be amended without the consent of each holder of subordinated debt securities affected thereby to modify the subordination of the subordinated debt securities issued under that indenture in a manner adverse to the holders of the subordinated debt securities (*Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 13.02*).

**Events of Default and Defaults** 

Events of default under the senior debt indenture are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to pay principal or required interest for 30 days after it is due; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or not *(Senior Debt Indenture, Section 6.01)*.

Defaults under the senior debt indenture include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to perform any other covenant of Citigroup in the senior debt indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all events of default (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 6.07*).

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of senior debt, only the events of default provide for a right of acceleration of the senior debt securities. No other event, including a default that is not also an event of default, will result in acceleration (*Senior Debt Indenture, Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.07*).

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of subordinated debt, the only events of default specified in the subordinated debt indenture are events of insolvency or bankruptcy, whether voluntary or not, with respect to Citigroup. Only these events of default provide for a right of acceleration of the subordinated

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
debt securities. No other event, including a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, subordinated debt securities, the performance of any other covenant of Citigroup in the subordinated indenture or any other default that is not also an event of default, will result in acceleration (*Subordinated Debt Indenture, Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.07*).

If an event of default regarding debt securities of any series issued under the indentures should occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of 25% in the principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may declare each debt security of that series due and payable (*Section 6.02*). Citigroup is required to file annually with the trustee a statement of an officer as to the fulfillment by Citigroup of its obligations under the indentures during the preceding year (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 5.06; Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 5.04*).

No event of default regarding one series of senior debt securities issued under the senior debt indenture is necessarily an event of default regarding any other series of senior debt securities (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 6.01*). For purposes of this section, "series" refers to debt securities having identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to accrue.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will be entitled to control certain actions of the trustee under the indentures and to waive past defaults regarding such series (*Sections 6.02 and 6.06*). The trustee generally will not be under any obligation to act at the request, order or direction of any of the holders of debt securities, unless one or more of such holders shall have offered to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (*Section 10.01*).

If a default occurs regarding a series of debt securities, the trustee may use any sums that it collects under the relevant indenture for its own reasonable compensation and expenses incurred prior to paying the holders of debt securities of such series (*Section 6.05*).

Before any holder of any series of debt securities may institute action for any remedy, except payment on such holder's debt security when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of that series outstanding must request the trustee to take action. Holders must also offer security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against liabilities incurred by the trustee for taking such action (*Section 6.07*).

**Defeasance** 

*Senior Debt Indenture*. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of senior debt securities, after Citigroup has deposited with the trustee cash and/or U.S. government securities or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, after Citigroup has deposited with the trustee funds in the currency specified in the applicable supplement and/or other government securities specified in the applicable supplement in trust for the benefit of the holders sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the senior debt securities of such series when due, then Citigroup, at its option:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• will be deemed to have paid and satisfied its obligations on all outstanding senior debt securities of such
series, which is known as "defeasance and discharge" (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 12.02*); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• will cease to be under any obligation under specific covenants, relating to the senior debt securities of such
series, which is known as "covenant defeasance" (*Senior Debt Indenture, Section 12.03*).

In the case of both defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance, Citigroup must also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the senior debt securities of such series will have no United States federal income tax consequences as a result of such deposit *(Senior Debt Indenture, Section 12.04)*.

When there is a defeasance and discharge, (1) the senior debt indenture will no longer govern the senior debt securities of such series, (2) Citigroup will no longer be liable for payment and (3) the holders of such senior debt securities will be entitled only to the deposited funds. When there is a covenant defeasance, however, Citigroup will continue to be obligated to make payments when due if the deposited funds are not sufficient.

The obligations and rights under the senior debt indenture regarding compensation, reimbursement and indemnification of the trustee, optional redemption, mandatory or optional sinking fund payments, if any, registration of transfer and exchange of the senior debt securities of such series, replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen senior debt securities and certain other administrative provisions will continue even if Citigroup exercises its defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance options (*Senior Debt Indenture, Sections 12.02 and 12.03*).

Under current United States federal income tax law, defeasance and discharge should be treated as a taxable exchange of the senior debt securities for an interest in the trust. As a consequence, each holder of the senior debt securities would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the holder's interest in the trust and holder's adjusted tax basis for the senior debt securities deemed exchanged, except to the extent attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as ordinary income. Each holder would then be required to include in income his share of any income, gain and loss recognized by the trust. Even though United States federal income tax on the deemed exchange would be imposed on a holder, the holder would not receive any cash until the maturity or an earlier redemption of the senior debt securities, except for any current interest payments. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the specific consequences of a defeasance and discharge, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than the United States federal income tax law.

Under current United States federal income tax law, a covenant defeasance would not be treated as a taxable exchange of senior debt securities.

*Subordinated Debt Indenture.* Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of subordinated debt securities, the defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance provisions contained in the subordinated debt indenture will apply and are substantially the same as those described above for the senior debt indenture (*Subordinated Debt Indenture, Sections 11.01, 11.02, 11.03, 11.04 and 11.05*).

Under the subordinated debt indenture, in the case of both defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance, Citigroup must also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the subordinated debt securities will have no United States federal income tax consequences as a result of such deposit.

**Concerning the Trustee** 

Citigroup has had and may continue to have banking relationships with the trustee in the ordinary course of business.

**UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

**Introduction** 

The following is a general summary of United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a beneficial owner of a debt security. The summary is based on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rulings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decisions now in effect,

all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary deals only with beneficial owners that will hold debt securities as capital assets. This summary does not address all of the United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a beneficial owner of debt securities, including consequences arising under state, local, foreign tax law, the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income or special timing rules prescribed under section 451(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. In particular, this summary does not address tax considerations applicable to investors to whom special tax rules may apply, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks or other financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulated investment companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• common trust funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dealers in securities or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors therein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that will hold debt securities as a hedge or in order to hedge against currency risk or as a part of an
integrated investment, including a "straddle" or "conversion transaction," comprised of a debt security and one or more other positions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• United States holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

Any special United States federal income tax considerations relevant to a particular issue of debt securities, including any indexed notes, floating rate notes, notes with an extendible maturity, dual currency notes or notes providing for contingent payments, will be provided in the applicable supplement. Purchasers of such notes should carefully examine the applicable supplement and should consult with their tax advisors with respect to such notes. Prospective purchasers of debt securities with maturities of one year should be aware that special United States federal income tax rules apply to short-term debt instruments, and should consult with their tax advisors with respect to such securities.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of purchasing, holding, and disposing of the debt securities, including the application to their particular situation of the United States federal income tax considerations discussed below, as well as the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

As used in this summary, the term "United States holder" means a beneficial owner of a debt security who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a domestic corporation or is otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the debt securities. The term "non-United States holder" means a beneficial owner of a debt security who is not a United States holder.

**United States Holders** 

*Payments of Interest* 

Payments of qualified stated interest, as defined below under "Original Issue Discount," on a debt security will be taxable to a United States holder as ordinary interest income at the time that such payments are accrued or are received, in accordance with the United States holder's method of tax accounting.

If such payments of interest are made in foreign currency with respect to a debt security that is denominated in such foreign currency, the amount of interest income realized by a United States holder that uses the cash method of tax accounting will be the U.S. dollar value of the specified currency payment based on the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. No exchange gain or loss will be recognized with respect to the receipt of such payment (other than exchange gain or loss realized on the disposition of the foreign currency so received, see "Transactions in Foreign Currency," below). A United States holder of DTC debt securities (as defined below) that uses the cash method of tax accounting and receives a payment of interest in U.S. dollars should realize interest income equal to the amount of U.S. dollars received. A United States holder that uses the accrual method of tax accounting will accrue interest income on the foreign currency debt security in the relevant foreign currency and translate the amount accrued into U.S. dollars based on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period, or portion thereof, within such
holder's taxable year; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at such holder's election, at the spot rate of exchange on (i) the last day of the accrual period, or
the last day of the taxable year within such accrual period if the accrual period spans more than one taxable year, or (ii) the date of receipt, if such date is within five business days of the last day of the accrual period.

Such election must be applied consistently by the United States holder to all debt instruments from year to year and can be changed only with the consent of the IRS. A United States holder that uses the accrual method of tax accounting will recognize foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of an interest payment made relating to a foreign currency debt security, including interest payments relating to DTC debt securities made in U.S. dollars, if the spot rate of exchange on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. Such foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss, but generally will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the debt securities.

*Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Debt Securities* 

A United States holder's tax basis in a debt security generally will equal the cost of such debt security to such holder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased by any amounts includible in income by the holder as original issue discount ("OID") and
market discount (each as described below); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced by any amortized premium and any payments other than payments of qualified stated interest (each as
described below) made on such debt security.

In the case of a foreign currency debt security, the cost of such debt security to a United States holder will generally be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price on the date of purchase calculated at the spot rate of exchange on that date. In the case of a foreign currency debt security that is traded on an established securities market, a United States holder generally should determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of such debt security by translating the amount paid in foreign currency into its U.S. dollar value at the spot rate of exchange (i) on the settlement date of the purchase in the case of a United States holder using the cash method of tax accounting or (ii) on the trade date, in the case of a United States holder using the accrual method of tax accounting, unless such holder elects to use the spot rate applicable to cash method United States holders. The amount of any subsequent adjustments to a United States holder's tax basis in a foreign currency debt security in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
respect of OID, market discount and premium will be determined in the manner described under "Original Issue Discount," "Market Discount" and "Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium" below. The conversion of U.S. dollars to another specified currency and the immediate use of such specified currency to purchase a foreign currency debt security generally will not result in any exchange gain or loss for a United States holder.

Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition (collectively, a "disposition") of a debt security, a United States holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition, less any accrued qualified stated interest, which will be taxable as ordinary income in the manner described above under "Payments of Interest," and (ii) the United States holder's adjusted tax basis in such debt security. If a United States holder receives a specified currency other than the U.S. dollar in respect of such disposition of a debt security, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the specified currency received calculated at the spot rate of exchange on the date of disposition of the debt security.

In the case of a foreign currency debt security that is traded on an established securities market, a United States holder that receives a specified currency other than the U.S. dollar in respect of such disposition generally should determine the amount realized (as determined on the trade date) by translating that specified currency into its U.S. dollar value at the spot rate of exchange (i) on the settlement date of the disposition in the case of a United States holder using the cash method of tax accounting or (ii) on the trade date, in the case of a United States holder using the accrual method of tax accounting, unless such holder elects to use the spot rate applicable to cash method United States holders. The election available to accrual basis United States holders in respect of the purchase and sale of foreign currency debt securities traded on an established securities market, discussed above, must be applied consistently by the United States holder to all debt instruments from year to year and can be changed only with the consent of the IRS.

Except as discussed below in connection with foreign currency gain or loss and market discount, gain or loss recognized by a United States holder on the disposition of a debt security will generally be long term capital gain or loss if the United States holder's holding period for the debt security exceeds one year at the time of such disposition. Long term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income.

Gain or loss recognized by a United States holder on the disposition of a foreign currency debt security generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss is attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period in which the holder held such debt security.

*Transactions in Foreign Currency* 

Foreign currency received as interest on, or on a disposition of, a debt security will have a tax basis equal to its U.S. dollar value at the time such interest is received or at the time such proceeds are received. The amount of gain or loss recognized on a sale or other disposition of such foreign currency will be equal to the difference between (i) the amount of U.S. dollars, or the fair market value in U.S. dollars of the other property received in such sale or other disposition, and (ii) the United States holder's tax basis in such foreign currency.

A United States holder that purchases a debt security with previously owned foreign currency will generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between such holder's tax basis in such foreign currency and the U.S. dollar fair market value of such debt security on the date of purchase. Any such gain or loss generally will be ordinary income or loss and will not be treated as interest income or expense. The conversion of U.S. dollars to foreign currency and the immediate use of such currency to purchase a debt security generally will not result in any exchange gain or loss for a United States holder.

*Original Issue Discount* 

*In General.* Debt securities with a term greater than one year may be issued with OID for United States federal income tax purposes. Such debt securities are called OID debt securities in this prospectus. United States

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
holders generally must accrue OID in gross income over the term of the OID debt securities on a constant yield basis, regardless of their regular method of tax accounting. As a result, United States holders generally will recognize taxable income in respect of an OID debt security in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to such income.

OID generally will arise if the stated redemption price at maturity of the debt security exceeds its issue price by at least a de minimis amount of 0.25% of the debt security's stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity. OID may also arise if a debt security has particular interest payment characteristics, such as interest holidays, interest payable in additional securities or stepped interest. For this purpose, the issue price of a debt security is the first price at which a substantial amount of debt securities is sold for cash, other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. The stated redemption price at maturity of a debt security is the sum of all payments due under the debt security, other than payments of qualified stated interest. The term qualified stated interest generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property, other than debt instruments of the issuer, at least annually during the entire term of the OID debt security at a single fixed rate of interest or, under particular conditions, based on one or more interest indices.

For each taxable year of a United States holder, the amount of OID that must be included in gross income in respect of an OID debt security will be the sum of the daily portions of OID for each day during such taxable year or any portion of such taxable year in which such a United States holder held the OID debt security. Such daily portions are determined by allocating to each day in an accrual period a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. Accrual periods may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of an OID debt security. However, accrual periods may not be longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest must occur on the first day or the final day of a period.

The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period generally will equal (i) the product of the OID debt security's adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period multiplied by its yield to maturity (as adjusted to take into account the length of such accrual period), less (ii) the amount, if any, of qualified stated interest allocable to that accrual period. The adjusted issue price of an OID debt security at the beginning of any accrual period will equal the issue price of the OID debt security, as defined above, (i) increased by previously accrued OID from prior accrual periods, and (ii) reduced by any payment made on such debt security, other than payments of qualified stated interest, on or before the first day of the accrual period. The yield to maturity of an OID debt security is the discount rate (appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of accrual periods) that causes the present value on the issue date of all payments on the OID debt security to equal the issue price. In the case of an OID debt security that is a floating rate debt security, both the yield to maturity and the qualified stated interest will be determined for these purposes as though the OID debt security will bear interest in all periods at a fixed rate generally equal to the value, as of the issue date, of the floating interest rate on the OID debt security or, in the case of some floating rate notes, the rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the OID debt security. (Additional rules may apply if interest on a floating rate debt security is based on more than one interest index.) As a result of this "constant yield" method of including OID in income, the amounts includible in income by a United States holder in respect of an OID debt security generally are lesser in the early years and greater in the later years than the amounts that would be includible on a straight-line basis.

The book/tax conformity rule applies to OID in some cases, and therefore may require accrual method holders to include OID on an OID debt security in a more accelerated manner than described above in this section if they do so for financial accounting purposes. It is uncertain what adjustments, if any, should be made in later accrual periods when taxable income exceeds income reflected on the United States holder's financial statements to reflect the accelerated accrual of income in earlier periods. In addition, it is possible, although less likely, that accrual method holders may be required to include *de minimis* OID in gross income as the *de minimis* OID accrues on their financial statements. The application of the book-tax conformity rule to OID and *de minimis* OID is uncertain, and accrual method taxpayers should consult with their tax advisors on how the rule may apply to their investment in the debt securities.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Foreign Currency Debt Securities.* In the case of an OID debt security that is also a foreign currency debt security, a United States holder should determine the U.S. dollar amount includible in income as OID for each accrual period by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• calculating the amount of OID allocable to each accrual period in the specified currency using the constant-yield
method described above; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• translating the amount of the specified currency so derived at the average exchange rate in effect during that
accrual period, or portion of such accrual period within a United States holder's taxable year, or, at the United States holder's election (as described above under "Payments of Interest"), at the spot rate of exchange on
(i) the last day of the accrual period, or the last day of the taxable year within such accrual period if the accrual period spans more than one taxable year, or (ii) on the date of receipt, if such date is within five business days of the
last day of the accrual period.

All payments on an OID debt security, other than payments of qualified stated interest, will generally be viewed first as payments of previously accrued OID, to the extent thereof, with payments attributed first to the earliest accrued OID, and then as payments of principal. Upon the receipt of an amount attributable to OID, whether in connection with a payment of an amount that is not qualified stated interest or the disposition of the OID debt security, a United States holder will recognize ordinary income or loss measured by the difference between (i) the amount received and (ii) the amount accrued. The amount received will be translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt or on the date of disposition of the OID debt security. The amount accrued will be determined by using the spot rate of exchange applicable to such previous accrual.

*Acquisition Premium*. A United States holder that purchases an OID debt security for an amount less than or equal to the remaining redemption amount, but in excess of the OID debt security's adjusted issue price, generally is permitted to reduce the daily portions of OID by a fraction. The numerator of such fraction is the excess of the United States holder's adjusted tax basis in the OID debt security immediately after its purchase over the OID debt security's adjusted issue price. The denominator of such fraction is the excess of the remaining redemption amount over the OID debt security's adjusted issue price. For purposes of this prospectus,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "remaining redemption amount" means the sum of all amounts payable on an OID debt security after the
purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest.

The debt securities may have special redemption, repayment or interest rate reset features, as indicated in the applicable supplement. Debt securities containing such features, in particular OID debt securities, may be subject to special rules that differ from the general rules discussed above. Accordingly, purchasers of debt securities with such features should carefully examine the applicable supplement, and should consult their tax advisors relating to such debt securities.

*Market Discount* 

If a United States holder purchases a debt security for an amount that is less than the debt security's stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of an OID debt security, for an amount that is less than the debt security's revised issue price, *i.e.*, the debt security's issue price increased by the amount of accrued OID, the debt security will be considered to have market discount. The market discount rules are subject to a de minimis rule similar to the rule relating to de minimis OID, described above (in the second paragraph under "Original Issue Discount"). Any gain recognized by the United States holder on the disposition of debt securities having market discount generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued on the debt security while held by such United States holder.

Alternatively, the United States holder may elect to include market discount in income currently over the life of the debt security. Such an election will apply to market discount debt securities acquired by the United States holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which such election applies and is revocable only with the consent of the IRS. Market discount will accrue on a straight-line basis unless the United States holder

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
elects to accrue the market discount on a constant-yield method. Such an election will apply to the debt security to which it is made and is irrevocable. Unless the United States holder elects to include market discount in income on a current basis, as described above, the United States holder could be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest paid on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt security.

Market discount on a foreign currency debt security will be accrued by a United States holder in the specified currency. The amount includible in income by a United States holder in respect of such accrued market discount will be the U.S. dollar value of the amount accrued. This is generally calculated at the spot rate of exchange on the date that the debt security is disposed of by the United States holder. Any accrued market discount on a foreign currency debt security that is currently includible in income will be translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the accrual period or portion of such accrual period within the United States holder's taxable year.

Under the book/tax conformity rule, an accrual method holder that has made the election described above in the second paragraph of this section may be required to accrue market discount in a more accelerated manner than described therein if the holder does so for financial accounting purposes. It is also possible, although less likely, that accrual method holders that have not made the election described in such paragraph and that accrue market discount on a current basis on their financial statements may be required to accrue market discount—including *de minimis* market discount—currently for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The application of the book/tax conformity rule to debt security with market discount is uncertain, and accrual method taxpayers should consult with their tax advisors on how the rule may apply to their investment in the debt securities.

*Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium* 

A United States holder that purchases a debt security for an amount in excess of the remaining redemption amount will be considered to have purchased the debt security at a premium and the OID rules will not apply to such holder. Such holder may elect to amortize such premium, as an offset to interest income, using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the debt security. Such election, once made, generally applies to all debt instruments held by the United States holder at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all debt instruments subsequently acquired by the United States holder. Such election may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A United States holder that elects to amortize such premium must reduce its tax basis in a debt security by the amount of the premium amortized during its holding period. For a United States holder that does not elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of such premium will be included in the United States holder's tax basis when the debt security matures or is disposed of by the United States holder. Therefore, a United States holder that does not elect to amortize premium and holds the debt security to maturity will generally be required to treat the premium as capital loss when the debt security matures.

Amortizable bond premium in respect of a foreign currency debt security will be computed in the specified currency and will reduce interest income in the specified currency. At the time amortized bond premium offsets interest income, exchange gain or loss, which will be taxable as ordinary income or loss, will be realized on the amortized bond premium on such debt security based on the difference between (i) the spot rate of exchange on the date or dates such premium is recovered through interest payments on the debt security and (ii) the spot rate of exchange on the date on which the United States holder acquired the debt security. See "Original Issue Discount —Acquisition Premium" above for a discussion of the treatment of a debt security purchased for an amount less than or equal to the remaining redemption amount but in excess of the debt security's adjusted issue price.

*Foreign Currency Notes and Reportable Transactions* 

A United States holder that participates in a "reportable transaction" will be required to disclose its participation to the IRS. The scope and application of these rules is not entirely clear. A United States holder may be required to treat a foreign currency exchange loss from a foreign currency debt security as a reportable transaction if the loss exceeds $50,000 in a single taxable year if the United States holder is an individual or trust,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
or higher amounts for other United States holders. In the event the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the foreign currency debt security constitutes participation in a "reportable transaction" for purposes of these rules, a United States holder will be required to disclose its investment to the IRS, currently on Form 8886. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of a foreign currency debt security.

*Information Reporting and Backup Withholding* 

Information returns may be required to be filed with the IRS relating to payments made to particular United States holders of debt securities. In addition, United States holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax on such payments if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required, fail to certify that they are not subject to backup withholding tax, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. United States holders may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax with respect to the proceeds from a disposition of the debt securities. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the United States holder's United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

**Non-United States Holders** 

Subject to the discussion below under "— FATCA," under current United States federal income tax law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withholding of United States federal income tax will not apply to payments of interest on a debt security to a non-United States holder, provided that,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of Citigroup entitled to vote and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Citigroup through stock ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the beneficial owner provides its name and address and certifies (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E), under penalties of perjury, that it is a non-United States holder in
compliance with applicable requirements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) neither Citigroup nor its paying agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner of the
debt security is a United States holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withholding of United States federal income tax will generally not apply to any gain realized on the disposition
of a debt security.

In general, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to a payment of interest on a debt security to a non-United States holder, or to proceeds from the disposition of a debt security by a non-United States holder, in each case, if the holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-United States holder and neither Citigroup nor its paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, to the contrary. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be refunded or credited against the non-United States holder's United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In certain circumstances, if a debt security is not held through a qualified intermediary, the amount of payments made on such debt security, the name and address of the beneficial owner and the amount, if any, of tax withheld may be reported to the IRS.

**FATCA** 

Under the U.S. tax rules known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), a holder of debt securities will generally be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax on payments made on the debt securities if the holder (i) is, or holds its debt securities through, a foreign financial institution that has not entered into an agreement with the U.S. government to report, on an annual basis, certain information regarding accounts with or interests in the institution held by certain United States persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or

------

partially owned by United States persons, or that has been designated as a "nonparticipating foreign financial institution" if it is subject to an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a foreign country, or (ii) fails to provide certain documentation (usually an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) containing information about its identity, its FATCA status, and if required, its direct and indirect U.S. owners. The adoption of, or implementation of, an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future U.S. Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. If any taxes were to be deducted or withheld from any payments in respect of the debt securities as a result of a beneficial owner or intermediary's failure to comply with the foregoing rules, no additional amounts will be paid on the debt securities as a result of the deduction or withholding of such tax. You should consult your own tax advisor on how these rules may apply to your investment in the debt securities.

**CURRENCY CONVERSIONS AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISKS AFFECTING** 

**DEBT SECURITIES DENOMINATED IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY** 

**Currency Conversions** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, debt securities denominated in a foreign currency which are offered and sold in the United States ("DTC debt securities") will be represented by beneficial interests in fully registered permanent global debt securities ("DTC global debt securities") which will be deposited with Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as custodian for, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for, DTC. While interests in the DTC debt securities are held through the DTC global debt securities, all payments in respect of such debt securities will be made in U.S. dollars.

As determined by the exchange agent under the terms of the fiscal agency agreement, in accordance with reasonable market practice, the amount of U.S. dollars payable in respect of any particular payment under the DTC debt securities will be equal to the amount of the relevant foreign currency U.S.$ rate of exchange prevailing as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day which is two Business Days prior to the relevant payment date, less any costs incurred by the exchange agent for such conversion (to be shared pro rata among the holders of DTC debt securities accepting U.S. dollar payments in the proportion of their respective holdings), all in accordance with the fiscal agency agreement. If an exchange rate bid quotation is not available, the exchange agent shall obtain a bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank in London selected by the exchange agent for such purpose after consultation with Citigroup. If no bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank is available, payment will be in the relevant foreign currency to the account or accounts specified by DTC to the exchange agent. For purposes of this paragraph, a "Business Day" is a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in each of New York City and London.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be modified or discontinued.

Holders of the debt securities will be subject to foreign exchange risks as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them. For further information as to such consequences, see "— Foreign Exchange Risks" below.

**Judgments in a Foreign Currency** 

The debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of New York State. Courts in the United States customarily have not rendered judgments for money damages denominated in any currency other than the U.S. dollar. A 1987 amendment to the Judiciary Law of New York State provides, however, that an action based upon an obligation denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be rendered in the foreign currency of the underlying obligation. Any judgment awarded in such an action will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the entry of the judgment or decree.

**Foreign Exchange Risks** 

An investment in debt securities which are denominated in, and all payments in respect of which are to be made in, a currency other than the currency of the country in which the purchaser is a resident or the currency in which the purchaser conducts its business or activities (the "home currency") entails significant risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a security denominated in the home currency. Such risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant changes in the rates of exchange between the home currency and the relevant foreign currency and the possibility of the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the relevant foreign currency. Such risks generally depend on economic and political events over which Citigroup has no control. In recent years, rates of exchange for foreign currencies have been volatile and such volatility may be expected to continue in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations in such rate that may occur during the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
term of the debt securities. Depreciation of the relevant foreign currency against the relevant home currency could result in a decrease in the effective yield of such relevant foreign denominated debt security below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the investor on a home currency basis.

This description of foreign currency risks does not describe all the risks of an investment in debt securities denominated in a currency other than the home currency. Prospective investors should consult with their financial and legal advisors as to the risks involved in an investment in a particular offering of debt securities.

Except as otherwise stated in a supplement, the common stock warrant agent will act solely as the agent of Citigroup under the applicable common stock warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any owners of common stock warrants. A copy of the form of common stock warrant agreement, including the form of common stock warrant certificate, will be filed as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should read the more detailed provisions of the common stock warrant agreement and the common stock warrant certificate for provisions that may be important to you.

transferable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the minimum or maximum number of the common stock warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which the right to exercise the common stock warrants will commence and the date on which the right
will expire;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a discussion of United States federal income tax, accounting or other considerations applicable to the common
stock warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anti-dilution provisions of the common stock warrants, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the common stock warrants; and

election of directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as a holder of the common stock purchasable upon exercise of the common stock warrants.

**Merger, Consolidation, Sale or Other Disposition** 

If at any time there is a merger or consolidation involving Citigroup or a sale, transfer, conveyance, other than lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Citigroup, then the assuming corporation will succeed to the obligations of Citigroup under the common stock warrant agreement and the related common stock warrants. Citigroup will then be relieved of any further obligation under the common stock warrant agreement and common stock warrants.

**DESCRIPTION OF INDEX WARRANTS** 

The following briefly summarizes the material terms and provisions of the index warrants, other than pricing and related terms disclosed in a supplement. You should read the particular terms of the index warrants that are offered by Citigroup, which will be described in more detail in a supplement. The supplement will also state whether any of the general provisions summarized below do not apply to the index warrants being offered.

Each series of index warrants will be issued under a separate index warrant agreement to be entered into between Citigroup and a bank or trust company, as index warrant agent. A single bank or trust company may act as index warrant agent for more than one series of index warrants. The index warrant agent will act solely as the agent of Citigroup under the applicable index warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any owners of index warrants. A copy of the form of index warrant agreement, including the form of certificate or global certificate that will represent the index warrant certificate, will be filed as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should read the more detailed provisions of the index warrant agreement and the index warrant certificate or index warrant global certificate for provisions that may be important to you.

**General** 

The index warrant agreement does not limit the number of index warrants that may be issued. Citigroup will have the right to "reopen" a previous series of index warrants by issuing additional index warrants of such series.

Each index warrant will entitle the warrant holder to receive from Citigroup, upon exercise, cash or securities. The amount in cash or number of securities will be determined by referring to an index calculated on the basis of prices, yields, levels or other specified objective measures in respect of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one or more specified securities or securities indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one or more specified foreign currencies or currency indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a combination thereof; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in such measure or differences between two or more such measures.

The supplement for a series of index warrants will describe the formula or methodology to be applied to the relevant index or indices to determine the amount payable or distributable on the index warrants.

If so specified in the supplement, the index warrants will entitle the warrant holder to receive from Citigroup a minimum or maximum amount upon automatic exercise at expiration or the happening of any other event described in the supplement.

The index warrants will be deemed to be automatically exercised upon expiration. Upon such automatic exercise, warrant holders will be entitled to receive the cash amount or number of securities due, if any, on such exercise.

You should read the supplement applicable to a series of index warrants for any circumstances in which the payment or distribution or the determination of the payment or distribution on the index warrants may be postponed or exercised early or cancelled. The amount due after any such delay or postponement, or early exercise or cancellation, will be described in the applicable supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of index warrants, Citigroup will not purchase or take delivery of or sell or deliver any securities or currencies, including the underlying assets, other than the payment of any cash or distribution of any securities due on the index warrants, from or to warrant holders pursuant to the index warrants.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The applicable supplement relating to a series of index warrants will describe the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the aggregate number of such index warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the offering price of such index warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the measure or measures by which payment or distribution on such index warrants will be determined;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain information regarding the underlying securities, foreign currencies or indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the amount of cash or number of securities due, or the means by which the amount of cash or number of securities
due may be calculated, on exercise of the index warrants, including automatic exercise, or upon cancellation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which the index warrants may first be exercised and the date on which they expire;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any minimum number of index warrants exercisable at any one time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any maximum number of index warrants that may, at Citigroup's election, be exercised by all warrant holders
or by any person or entity on any day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions permitting a warrant holder to condition an exercise of index warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the method by which the index warrants may be exercised;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the currency in which the index warrants will be denominated and in which payments on the index warrants will be
made or the securities that may be distributed in respect of the index warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the method of making any foreign currency translation applicable to payments or distributions on the index
warrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the method of providing for a substitute index or indices or otherwise determining the amount payable in
connection with the exercise of index warrants if an index changes or is no longer available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the time or times at which amounts will be payable or distributable in respect of such index warrants following
exercise or automatic exercise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any national securities exchange on, or self-regulatory organization with, which such index warrants will be
listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any provisions for issuing such index warrants in certificated form;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if such index warrants are not issued in book-entry form, the place or places at and the procedures by which
payments or distributions on the index warrants will be made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other terms of such index warrants.

Prospective purchasers of index warrants should be aware of special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to instruments such as the index warrants. The supplement relating to each series of index warrants will describe these tax considerations. The summary of United States federal income tax considerations contained in the supplement will be presented for informational purposes only, however, and will not be intended as legal or tax advice to prospective purchasers. You are urged to consult your tax advisors before purchasing any index warrants.

**Listing** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of index warrants, the index warrants will be listed on a national securities exchange or with a self-regulatory organization, in each case as specified in the supplement. It is expected that such organization will stop trading a series of index warrants as of the close of business on the related expiration date of such index warrants.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Modification** 

The index warrant agreement and the terms of the related index warrants may be amended by Citigroup and the index warrant agent, without the consent of the holders of any index warrants, for any of the following purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintaining the listing of such index warrants on any national securities exchange or with any other
self-regulatory organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• registering such index warrants under the Exchange Act, permitting the issuance of individual index warrant
certificates to warrant holders, reflecting the issuance by Citigroup of additional index warrants of the same series or reflecting the appointment of a successor depositary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• for any other purpose that Citigroup may deem necessary or desirable and which will not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the warrant holders.

Citigroup and the index warrant agent also may modify or amend the index warrant agreement and the terms of the related index warrants, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding warrants of each series affected by such modification or amendment, for any purpose. However, no such modification or amendment may be made without the consent of each holder affected thereby if such modification or amendment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes the amount to be paid to the warrant holder or the manner in which that amount is to be determined;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shortens the period of time during which the index warrants may be exercised;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• otherwise materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the holders of the index warrants; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduces the percentage of the number of outstanding index warrants the consent of whose holders is required for
modification or amendment of the index warrant agreement or the terms of the related index warrants.

**Merger, Consolidation, Sale or Other Disposition** 

If at any time there is a merger or consolidation involving Citigroup or a sale, transfer, conveyance, other than lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Citigroup, then the assuming corporation will succeed to the obligations of Citigroup under the index warrant agreement and the related index warrants. Citigroup will then be relieved of any further obligation under the index warrant agreement and index warrants.

**Enforceability of Rights by Warrant Holders** 

Any warrant holder may, without the consent of the index warrant agent or any other warrant holder, enforce by appropriate legal action on its own behalf his right to exercise, and to receive payment for, its index warrants.

The following summary of each series of Citigroup's preferred stock outstanding on the date hereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of those securities contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Citigroup and the applicable certificate of designation for each series.

***Series A Preferred Stock***

***Preferential Rights***. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to Citigroup common stock and ranks equally with each other series of Citigroup preferred stock outstanding on the date hereof as to dividends and distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of common stock or any other class of Citigroup capital stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive rights. Citigroup may issue stock with preferences equal with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

***Dividends***. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends when and as declared by the board of directors of Citigroup or a duly authorized committee of the board out of assets legally available for payment, (i) from the date of issuance to, but excluding, January 30, 2023, at an annual rate of 5.950% on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, semi-annually in arrears, on January 30 and July 30 of each year, beginning on July 30, 2013, and (ii) from and including January 30, 2023, at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.068% on the liquidation preference amount of $25,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, on January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30 of each year, beginning on April 30, 2023. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are noncumulative.

As long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless full noncumulative dividends for the dividend period then ending have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Citigroup cannot declare or pay any cash dividends on any shares of common stock or other capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock during the next succeeding dividend period.

***Voting Rights***. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have voting rights other than those described below and as specifically required by Delaware law.

If any quarterly dividend payable on any Series A Preferred Stock is in arrears for six or more quarterly dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a class, together with the holders of all series of preferred stock ranking equally with the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon which voting rights equivalent to those granted to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have been conferred and are exercisable, for the election of two Preferred Stock Directors. The voting rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to elect the Preferred Stock Directors will cease when Citigroup has paid noncumulative dividends in full for at least two consecutive semiannual or four consecutive quarterly dividend periods, as applicable, following a Nonpayment on the Series A Preferred Stock and on any noncumulative dividend parity stock and has paid cumulative dividends in full on any cumulative dividend parity stock (but subject always to the vesting of such voting rights in the case of any similar non-payment of dividends in respect of future dividend periods).

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Also, without the consent of the holders of shares entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, Citigroup may not create any class of stock having preference as to dividends or distributions of the assets over the Series A Preferred Stock, or alter or change the provisions of Citigroup's certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of amendment or certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock) so as to adversely affect the powers, preferences or rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

**DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK** 

The following briefly summarizes the material terms of Citigroup's preferred stock, other than pricing and related terms disclosed in the accompanying supplement. You should read the particular terms of any series of preferred stock offered by Citigroup, which will be described in more detail in any supplement relating to such series, together with the more detailed provisions of Citigroup's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the certificate of designation relating to each particular series of preferred stock for provisions that may be important to you. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended and restated, is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The certificate of designation relating to the particular series of preferred stock offered by the accompanying supplement and this prospectus will be filed as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement. The prospectus supplement will also state whether any of the terms summarized below do not apply to the series of preferred stock being offered. For a description of Citigroup's outstanding preferred stock, see "Description of Capital Stock."

Under Citigroup's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the board of directors of Citigroup is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to establish from time to time a series of preferred stock with the following terms specified:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the number of shares to be included in the series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of the series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series.

Prior to the issuance of any series of preferred stock, the board of directors of Citigroup will adopt resolutions creating and designating the series as a series of preferred stock and the resolutions will be filed in a certificate of designation as an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The term "board of directors of Citigroup" includes any duly authorized committee.

The rights of holders of the preferred stock offered may be adversely affected by the rights of holders of any shares of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The board of directors may cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in public or private transactions for any proper corporate purpose. Examples of proper corporate purposes include issuances to obtain additional financing in connection with acquisitions or otherwise, and issuances to officers, directors and employees of Citigroup and its subsidiaries pursuant to benefit plans or otherwise. Shares of preferred stock issued by Citigroup may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of Citigroup deemed undesirable by the board of directors of Citigroup.

Under existing interpretations of Federal Reserve, if the holders of the preferred stock become entitled to vote for the election of directors because dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears as described below, preferred stock may then be deemed a "class of voting securities" and a holder of 25% or more of the preferred stock or a holder of 5% or more of the preferred stock that is otherwise a bank holding company may then be regulated as a "bank holding company" with respect to Citigroup in accordance with the Bank Holding Company Act. In addition, at such time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any bank holding company or foreign bank with a U.S. presence generally would be required to obtain the approval
of the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act to acquire or retain 5% or more of the preferred stock; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person other than a bank holding company may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under
the Change in Bank Control Act to acquire or retain 10% or more of the preferred stock.

Before exercising its option to redeem any shares of preferred stock, Citigroup will obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve if then required by applicable law.

The preferred stock will be, when issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of preferred stock will not have any preemptive or subscription rights to acquire more stock of Citigroup.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and redemption agent for shares of each series of preferred stock will be named in the supplement relating to such series.

**Rank** 

Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of preferred stock, such shares will rank on an equal basis with each other series of preferred stock and prior to the common stock as to dividends and distributions of assets.

**Dividends** 

Holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors of Citigroup out of funds legally available for dividends. The rates and dates of payment of dividends will be set forth in the supplement relating to each series of preferred stock. Dividends will be payable to holders of record of preferred stock as they appear on the books of Citigroup or, if applicable, the records of the depositary referred to below under "Description of Depositary Shares," on the record dates fixed by the board of directors. Dividends on a series of preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative.

Citigroup may not declare, pay or set apart for payment dividends on the preferred stock unless full dividends on other series of preferred stock that rank on an equal or senior basis have been paid or sufficient funds have been set apart for payment for

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all prior dividend periods of other series of preferred stock that pay dividends on a cumulative basis; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the immediately preceding dividend period of other series of preferred stock that pay dividends on a
noncumulative basis.

Partial dividends declared on shares of preferred stock and each other series of preferred stock ranking on an equal basis as to dividends will be declared pro rata. A pro rata declaration means that the ratio of dividends declared per share to accrued dividends per share will be the same for each series of preferred stock.

Similarly, Citigroup may not declare, pay or set apart for payment non-stock dividends or make other payments on the common stock or any other stock of Citigroup ranking junior to the preferred stock until full dividends on the preferred stock have been paid or set apart for payment for

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all prior dividend periods if the preferred stock pays dividends on a cumulative basis; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the immediately preceding dividend period if the preferred stock pays dividends on a noncumulative basis.

**Conversion and Exchange** 

The supplement for a series of preferred stock will state the terms, if any, on which shares of that series are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Citigroup's common stock.

**Redemption** 

If so specified in the applicable supplement, a series of preferred stock may be redeemable, with the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if required, at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of Citigroup or the holder thereof and may be mandatorily redeemed.

Any partial redemptions of preferred stock will be made in a way that the board of directors decides is equitable.

Unless Citigroup defaults in the payment of the redemption price, dividends will cease to accrue after the redemption date on shares of preferred stock called for redemption and all rights of holders of such shares will terminate except for the right to receive the redemption price.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Liquidation Preference** 

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup, holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive distributions upon liquidation in the amount set forth in the supplement relating to such series of preferred stock, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends. Such distributions will be made before any distribution is made on any securities ranking junior relating to liquidation, including common stock.

If the liquidation amounts payable relating to the preferred stock of any series and any other securities ranking on a parity regarding liquidation rights are not paid in full, the holders of the preferred stock of such series and such other securities will share in any such distribution of available assets of Citigroup on a ratable basis in proportion to the full liquidation preferences. Holders of such series of preferred stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from Citigroup after they have received their full liquidation preference.

**Voting Rights** 

The holders of shares of preferred stock will have no voting rights, except:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as otherwise stated in the supplement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as otherwise stated in the certificate of designation establishing such series; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as required by applicable law.

**DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES** 

The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the deposit agreement and of the depositary shares and depositary receipts, other than pricing and related terms disclosed in the accompanying supplement. You should read the particular terms of any depositary shares and any depositary receipts that are offered by Citigroup and any deposit agreement relating to a particular series of preferred stock, which will be described in more detail in a supplement. The supplement will also state whether any of the generalized provisions summarized below do not apply to the depositary shares or depositary receipts being offered. A copy of the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, is incorporated by reference as an exhibit in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should read the more detailed provisions of the deposit agreement and the form of depositary receipt for provisions that may be important to you.

**General** 

Citigroup may, at its option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. In such event, Citigroup will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

The shares of any series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between Citigroup and a bank or trust company selected by Citigroup having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, as preferred stock depositary. Each owner of a depositary share will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the underlying preferred stock, including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by such depositary share. The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable supplement.

**Dividends and Other Distributions** 

The preferred stock depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the deposited preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to such preferred stock in proportion to the number of such depositary shares owned by such holders.

The preferred stock depositary will distribute any property received by it other than cash to the record holders of depositary shares entitled thereto. If the preferred stock depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution, it may, with the approval of Citigroup, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to such holders.

Record dates for the payment of dividends and other matters relating to depositary shares will be the same as the corresponding record dates for the underlying preferred stock. The amount paid (or deemed paid) as dividends or otherwise distributable (or deemed distributable) by the depositary with respect to the depositary shares or the underlying preferred stock will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by Citigroup or the preferred stock depositary on account of taxes or other governmental charges. The preferred stock depositary may refuse to make any payment or distribution, or any transfer, exchange or withdrawal of any depositary shares until such taxes or other governmental charges are paid.

**Redemption of Preferred Stock** 

If a series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares is to be redeemed, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the preferred stock depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of such series of preferred stock. The depositary shares will be redeemed by the preferred stock depositary at a price per depositary share equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable in respect of the shares of preferred stock so redeemed.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Whenever Citigroup redeems shares of preferred stock held by the preferred stock depositary, the preferred stock depositary will redeem as of the same date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by the preferred stock depositary by lot or ratably or by any other equitable method as the preferred stock depositary may decide. The preferred stock depositary will mail notice of redemption to record holders of the preferred stock depositary receipts not less than 5 and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of the preferred stock and the related depositary shares.

**Withdrawal of Preferred Stock** 

Unless the related depositary shares have previously been called for redemption, any holder of depositary shares may receive the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by such depositary receipts after surrendering the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the preferred stock depositary. Holders of depositary shares making such withdrawals will be entitled to receive whole shares of preferred stock on the basis set forth in the related supplement for such series of preferred stock.

However, holders of such whole shares of preferred stock will not be entitled to deposit such preferred stock under the deposit agreement or to receive depositary receipts for such preferred stock after such withdrawal. If the depositary shares surrendered by the holder in connection with such withdrawal exceed the number of depositary shares that represent the number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the preferred stock depositary will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess number of depositary shares.

**Voting Deposited Preferred Stock** 

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of any series of deposited preferred stock are entitled to vote, the preferred stock depositary will mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to such series of preferred stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the preferred stock depositary to vote the amount of the preferred stock represented by such holder's depositary shares. The preferred stock depositary will try to vote the amount of such series of preferred stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions.

Citigroup will agree to take all reasonable actions that the preferred stock depositary determines are necessary to enable the preferred stock depositary to vote as instructed. The preferred stock depositary will vote all shares of any series of preferred stock held by it proportionately with instructions received if it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing such series of preferred stock.

**Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement** 

The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may at any time be amended by agreement between Citigroup and the preferred stock depositary. However, any amendment that imposes additional charges or materially and adversely alters any substantial existing right of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless such amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the affected depositary shares then outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective, or any transferee of such holder, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such depositary receipt, or by reason of the acquisition thereof, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the deposit agreement, which has been amended thereby. The deposit agreement automatically terminates if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each share of preferred stock has been converted into or exchanged for common stock; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a final distribution in respect of the preferred stock has been made to the holders of depositary shares in
connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Citigroup.

The deposit agreement may be terminated by Citigroup at any time and the preferred stock depositary will give notice of such termination to the record holders of all outstanding depositary receipts not less than 30 days prior to the termination date. In such event, the preferred stock depositary will deliver or make available for delivery to holders of depositary shares, upon surrender of such depositary shares, the number of whole or fractional shares of the related series of preferred stock as are represented by such depositary shares.

**Charges of Preferred Stock Depositary; Taxes and Other Governmental Charges** 

No fees, charges and expenses of the preferred stock depositary or any agent of the preferred stock depositary or of any registrar shall be payable by any person other than Citigroup, except for any taxes and other governmental charges and except as provided in the deposit agreement. If the preferred stock depositary incurs fees, charges or expenses for which it is not otherwise liable hereunder at the election of a holder of a depositary receipt or other person, such holder or other person will be liable for such fees, charges and expenses.

**Resignation and Removal of Depositary** 

The preferred stock depositary may resign at any time by delivering to Citigroup notice of its intent to do so, and Citigroup may at any time remove the preferred stock depositary, any such resignation or removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor preferred stock depositary and its acceptance of such appointment. Such successor preferred stock depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

**Miscellaneous** 

The preferred stock depositary will forward all reports and communications from Citigroup that are delivered to the preferred stock depositary and that Citigroup is required to furnish to the holders of the deposited preferred stock.

Neither the preferred stock depositary nor Citigroup will be liable if it is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstances beyond its control in performing its obligations under the deposit agreement. The obligations of Citigroup and the preferred stock depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance with honest intentions of their duties thereunder and they will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares, depositary receipts or shares of preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. Citigroup and the preferred stock depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

**DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND STOCK PURCHASE UNITS** 

Citigroup may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from or sell to Citigroup, and Citigroup to sell to or purchase from the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates. The consideration per share of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares and the number of shares of each may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units, often known as stock purchase units, consisting of a stock purchase contract and any combination of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital securities issued by trusts, all of whose common securities are owned by Citigroup or by one of its
subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• junior subordinated debt securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities,

which may secure the holders' obligations to purchase the common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require Citigroup to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice versa, and these payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under those contracts in a specified manner.

The applicable supplement will describe the terms of the stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units, including, if applicable, collateral or depositary arrangements.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

Citigroup may offer the offered securities in one or more of the following ways from time to time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to or through underwriters or dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• by itself directly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through agents; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

Any such underwriters, dealers or agents may include any broker-dealer subsidiary of Citigroup.

The supplement relating to an offering of offered securities will set forth the terms of such offering, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the purchase price of the offered securities and the proceeds to Citigroup from such sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any underwriting discounts and commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters' or
agents' compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the initial public offering price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any discounts or concessions to be allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any securities exchanges on which such offered securities may be listed.

Any initial public offering prices, discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If underwriters are used in an offering of offered securities, such offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be offered either to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or by one or more underwriters without a syndicate. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of securities, the underwriters will not be obligated to purchase offered securities unless specified conditions are satisfied, and if the underwriters do purchase any offered securities, they will purchase all offered securities.

In connection with underwritten offerings of the offered securities and in accordance with applicable law and industry practice, underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids, each of which is described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A stabilizing bid means the placing of any bid, or the effecting of any purchase, for the purpose of pegging,
fixing or maintaining the price of a security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A syndicate covering transaction means the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the
effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in connection with the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A penalty bid means an arrangement that permits the managing underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a
syndicate member in connection with the offering when offered securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in syndicate covering transactions.

These transactions may be effected on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. Underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, or to continue such activities if commenced.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
If dealers are utilized in the sale of offered securities, Citigroup will sell such offered securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell such offered securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the supplement relating to that transaction.

Offered securities may be sold directly by Citigroup to one or more institutional purchasers, or through agents designated by Citigroup from time to time, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by Citigroup to such agent will be set forth, in the supplement relating to that offering. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of securities, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

As one of the means of direct issuance of offered securities, Citigroup may utilize the services of an entity through which it may conduct an electronic "dutch auction" or similar offering of the offered securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in the auction or offering of such offered securities, if so described in the applicable supplement.

If so indicated in the applicable supplement, Citigroup will authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase offered securities from Citigroup at the public offering price set forth in such supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the supplement and the supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.

**Conflicts of Interest.** The broker-dealer subsidiaries of Citigroup, including Citigroup Global Markets Inc., are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and may participate in distributions of the offered securities. Accordingly, offerings of offered securities in which Citigroup's broker-dealer subsidiaries participate will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in FINRA Rule 5121. Neither Citigroup Global Markets Inc. nor any other broker-dealer subsidiary of Citigroup will sell the offered securities to an account over which Citigroup or its subsidiaries have investment discretion unless Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or such broker-dealer subsidiary has received specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder.

This prospectus, together with any applicable supplement, may also be used by any broker-dealer subsidiary of Citigroup in connection with offers and sales of the offered securities in market-making transactions, including block positioning and block trades, at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any of Citigroup's broker-dealer subsidiaries may act as principal or agent in such transactions. None of Citigroup's broker-dealer subsidiaries have any obligation to make a market in any of the offered securities and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice, at its sole discretion.

One or more dealers, referred to as "remarketing firms," may also offer or sell the securities, if the supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement contemplated by the terms of the securities. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as agents. The supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with Citigroup and will describe the remarketing firm's compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the remarketing of the securities.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements with Citigroup, to indemnification by Citigroup relating to material misstatements and omissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, Citigroup and affiliates of Citigroup in the ordinary course of business.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Except for securities issued upon a reopening of a previous series, each series of offered securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**ERISA CONSIDERATIONS** 

A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA plan's particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the offered securities of Citigroup. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether such an investment is in accordance with the documents governing the ERISA plan and whether the investment is appropriate for the ERISA plan in view of its overall investment policy and diversification of its portfolio.

Certain provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), prohibit employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that are subject to Title I of ERISA, plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code (including, without limitation, retirement accounts and Keogh Plans), and entities whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entities (including, without limitation, as applicable, insurance company general accounts) (collectively, "plans"), from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with parties that are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the plan or entity. Governmental and other plans that are not subject to ERISA or to the Code may be subject to similar restrictions under state, federal, local or non-U.S. law ("similar law"). Any employee benefit plan or other entity, to which such provisions of ERISA, the Code or similar law apply, proposing to acquire the offered securities should consult with its legal counsel.

Citigroup has subsidiaries, including broker-dealer subsidiaries, that provide services to many employee benefit plans. Citigroup and any such direct or indirect subsidiary of Citigroup may each be considered a "party in interest" and a "disqualified person" to a large number of plans. A purchase of offered securities of Citigroup by any such plan would be likely to result in a prohibited transaction between the plan and Citigroup.

Accordingly, unless otherwise provided in connection with a particular offering of securities, offered securities may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any plan or any other person investing "plan assets" of any plan that is subject to the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or other similar law, unless one of the following exemptions (or a similar exemption or exception) applies to such purchase, holding and disposition:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code for transactions with certain service
providers (the "Service Provider Exemption"),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 96-23 for
transactions determined by in-house asset managers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PTCE 95-60 for transactions involving insurance company general accounts,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PTCE 91-38 for transactions involving bank collective investment funds,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PTCE 90-1 for transactions involving insurance company separate accounts,
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PTCE 84-14 for transactions determined by independent qualified
professional asset managers.

Unless otherwise provided in connection with a particular offering of securities, any purchaser of the offered securities or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented and warranted to Citigroup on each day including the date of its purchase of the offered securities through and including the date of disposition of such offered securities that either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it is not a plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and is not purchasing such
securities or interest therein on behalf of, or with "plan assets" of, any such plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) its purchase, holding and disposition of such securities are not and will not be prohibited because they are
exempted by Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, by one or more of PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or by a similar exemption or exception; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) it is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3 of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and its purchase, holding and disposition of such securities are not otherwise prohibited.

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is important that any person considering the purchase of the offered securities with plan assets consult with its counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code, or other similar law, of the acquisition and ownership of offered securities and the availability of exemptive relief.

**LEGAL MATTERS** 

Barbara Politi, Associate General Counsel — Capital Markets, or counsel to be identified in the applicable supplement, will act as legal counsel to Citigroup. Ms. Politi beneficially owns, or has rights to acquire under Citigroup's employee benefit plans, an aggregate of less than 1% of Citigroup's common stock. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, New York, New York, or other counsel identified in the applicable supplement, will act as legal counsel to the underwriters. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP has from time to time acted as counsel for Citigroup and its subsidiaries and may do so in the future.
