| Selected Risk Considerations |
| · | You may not receive any return on your investment in the notes and may lose up to 10% of your investment. You will receive a positive return on your investment in the notes only if the underlying index appreciates from the initial index level to the final index level. If the final index level is less than the initial index level, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the notes for every 1% by which the final index level is less than the initial index level, subject to a maximum loss of 10% of your investment. |
| · | The notes do not pay interest. |
| · | Your payment at maturity depends on the closing level of the underlying index on a single day. |
| · | Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or the stocks that constitute the underlying index. You will not have voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the underlying index. |
| · | The notes 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 notes and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations, you may not receive anything owed to you under the notes. |
| · | Sale of the notes prior to maturity may result in a loss of principal. |
| · | The notes 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 notes on the pricing date will be less than the issue price. For more information about the estimated value of the notes, see the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement. |
| · | The value of the notes prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors. |
| · | There can be no assurance that the underlying index will outperform the parent index from which its component companies are selected, and the underlying index may in fact significantly underperform the parent index. |
| · | The underlying index methodology relies to a significant extent on proxy measurements that may not accurately measure what they seek to measure. |
| · | Although the underlying index attempts to select component companies with relatively high dividend yields, you will not receive any dividends as a holder of the notes. |
| · | Low-volatility, high dividend stocks may have less growth potential than other stocks. |
| · | The data used by the underlying index may be outdated. |
| · | The historical measures used by the underlying index to select component companies may not be accurate predictors of future performance. |
| · | The projected GDP growth figures used by the underlying index may be a poor predictor of actual GDP growth. |
| · | Revenues are not profits and may be a poor indicator of a component company’s exposure to the economy of a given country. |
| · | The GDP growth of a country to which a particular company has significant revenue exposure may be a poor predictor of the performance of that company. |
| · | Hypothetical back-tested underlying index performance information is subject to significant limitations. |
| · | 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 notes are unclear. |
