Selected Risk Considerations  

·    You may lose some or all of your investment. If the final index level is less than the barrier level, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the securities for every 1% by which the underlying index has declined from the initial index level. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, and you may lose up to all of your investment.

·    The securities do not pay interest.

·    Your potential for a positive return from depreciation of the underlying index is limited. The return potential of the securities in the event that the final index level is less than the initial index level is limited to 30.00%. Any decline in the underlying index of more than 30.00% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the securities.

·    Your payment at maturity depends on the closing level of the underlying index on a single day.

·    Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the stocks that constitute the underlying index.

·    The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. defaults on its obligations under the securities and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive anything owed to you under the securities.

·    The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.

·    The estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than the issue price. For more information about the estimated value of the securities, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.

·    The value of the securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors.

·    The underlying index is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. markets.

·    The underlying index performance will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar.

·    The issuer and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest with you.

·    The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear.

The above summary of selected risks does not describe all of the risks associated with an investment in the securities. You should read the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and product supplement for a more complete description of risks relating to the securities.
