SEQUINS sm

Based Upon the
S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index
Due 2008

This offering summary represents a summary of the terms and conditions of the SEQUINS sm. We encourage you to read the pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus related to this offering. Capitalized terms used in this overview are defined in “Final Terms” below.

Overview of the SEQUINSsm

Select EQUity Indexed NoteS, or SEQUINSsm, are callable, index-linked investments that offer current income as well as an ability to participate in the appreciation of the Underlying Index on which the SEQUINS are based, subject to Citigroup Funding Inc.’s right to call the SEQUINS. The SEQUINS Based Upon the S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index (the “Homebuilders Index”) have a maturity of approximately one year and are issued by Citigroup Funding. Some key characteristics of the SEQUINS include:

¡ Periodic Fixed Coupon. The SEQUINS pay a fixed coupon, with a yield greater than the current dividend yield on the Homebuilders Index and the yield that would be payable on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by Citigroup Funding. The SEQUINS will pay a quarterly coupon of 8.00% per annum.
 
¡ Appreciation Potential. The SEQUINS offer an ability to participate in the appreciation, if any, of the Homebuilders Index, subject to Citigroup Funding’s right to call the SEQUINS. If we call the SEQUINS, your opportunity to participate in the possible appreciation of the Homebuilders Index is limited because the amount you will receive if we call the SEQUINS will never result in a return from the Issue Date to and including the call date (including all interest payments made) of more than 16% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually).
 
¡ Optional Call. The SEQUINS are callable at the sole discretion of Citigroup Funding on any business day beginning August 3, 2007 to and including one business day before the Maturity Date. If we call the SEQUINS, you will receive a call price equal to an amount in cash that, together with all other payments made on the SEQUINS from the Issue Date to and including the Call Date, will provide a yield to call of 16% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually). A yield to call of 16% per annum is not the same as a total return of 16% per annum of the principal amount of the SEQUINS. If we call the SEQUINS, the total amount of cash you receive (including your previous interest payment) will be less than 16% per annum of the principal amount of the SEQUINS. For a table setting forth hypothetical amounts you could receive upon a call of the SEQUINS, see “Hypothetical Call Prices and Total Cash Flows” in this offering summary. While we are not obligated to do so, we are more likely to call the SEQUINS if the level of the Homebuilders Index appreciates significantly more than 16% per annum. The SEQUINS do not provide for early redemption by you.

SEQUINSsm 3

¡ No Principal Protection. The SEQUINS are not principal protected. If we do not call the SEQUINS, for each SEQUINS you hold at maturity you will receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Index Ratio and (b) the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date. Thus, if the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date is less than the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Pricing Date, the amount you receive at maturity for each SEQUINS will be less than the price paid for each SEQUINS and could be zero.

The SEQUINS are a series of unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Funding. Any payments due on the SEQUINS are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding’s parent company. The SEQUINS will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup Funding and, as a result of the guarantee, any payments due under the SEQUINS will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Citigroup. The return of the principal amount of your investment in the SEQUINS at maturity is not guaranteed.

Types of Investors

The SEQUINS may be an attractive investment for the following types of investors:

¡ Income-oriented equity investors
 
¡ Investors seeking to participate in the potential appreciation of the Homebuilders Index, subject to Citigroup Funding’s right to call the SEQUINS
 
¡ Investors in convertible securities who are willing to risk principal
 
¡ Current or prospective holders of exchange-traded funds benchmarked to the Homebuilders Index

SEQUINSsm 5

Benefits of the SEQUINS
¡ Current Income. The SEQUINS pay a quarterly interest rate with a yield set at a rate that is currently greater than both the current and anticipated dividend yield on the Homebuilders Index and the rate that would be paid on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by Citigroup Funding.
 
¡ Appreciation Up to Call Price. If Citigroup Funding does not call the SEQUINS and the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date is greater than the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Pricing Date, the amount you receive at maturity will be greater than your initial investment in the SEQUINS (although you should not expect to obtain a total yield of more than 16% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually) due to Citigroup Funding’s right to call the SEQUINS.
 
¡ Relative Stability. The SEQUINS may be a less volatile investment than a direct investment in the stocks included in the Homebuilders Index or in a security that is directly linked to the Homebuilders Index because the quarterly interest payments will provide some protection against decreases in the value of the Homebuilders Index.

Key Risk Factors for the SEQUINS

An investment in the SEQUINS involves significant risks. While some of these risks are summarized below, please review the “Risk Factors Relating to the SEQUINS” section of the pricing supplement related to this offering for a full description of risks.

¡ Potential for Loss. If the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date is less than the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Pricing Date, and we have not called the SEQUINS, the amount you receive at maturity will be less than your initial investment in the SEQUINS and could be zero.
 
¡ Appreciation May Be Limited. If Citigroup Funding calls the SEQUINS, you will receive a Call Price in cash in an amount that, together with all other payments made on the SEQUINS from the Issue Date to and including the call date, will provide a yield to call of 16% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually). The opportunity to participate in possible increases in the value of the Homebuilders Index is capped if the SEQUINS are called because the return you receive will be limited to the Call Price and any interest payments on the SEQUINS. Your return on the SEQUINS may be less than the return on a similar security that was directly linked to the Homebuilders Index and allowed you to participate more fully in the appreciation of the value of the Homebuilders Index.
 
¡ Potential for a Lower Comparable Yield. If the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date is less than the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Pricing Date, and the SEQUINS have not been called, which will result in you receiving an amount at maturity that is less than the principal amount of your SEQUINS, the effective yield on the SEQUINS may be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.
 
¡ Secondary Market May Not Be Liquid. The SEQUINS have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “CGK,” but the secondary market may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the SEQUINS. Although Citigroup Global Markets intends to make a market in the SEQUINS, it is not obligated to do so.

6 SEQUINSsm

¡ Resale Value of the SEQUINS May be Lower Than Your Initial Investment. Due to, among other things, changes in the prices of and dividend yields on the stocks included in the Homebuilders Index, interest rates, the earnings performance of the issuers of the stocks included in the Homebuilders Index, other economic conditions and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup’s perceived creditworthiness, the SEQUINS may trade, if at all, at prices below their issue price of $10 per SEQUINS. You could receive substantially less than the amount of your initial investment if you sell your SEQUINS prior to maturity.
 
¡ Fees and Conflicts. Citigroup Global Markets and its affiliates involved in this offering are expected to receive compensation for activities and services provided in connection with the SEQUINS. Further, Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the SEQUINS through the trading of one or more of the stocks included in the Homebuilders Index, or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, based upon the Homebuilders Index or one or more of the stocks included in the Homebuilders Index by one or more of its affiliates. Each of Citigroup Funding’s or its affiliates’ hedging activities and Citigroup Global Markets’ role as the Calculation Agent for the SEQUINS may result in a conflict of interest.
 
¡ Citigroup Credit Risk. The SEQUINS are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup, Citigroup Funding’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the SEQUINS.

Hypothetical Maturity Payments

The examples of maturity payments set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different closing values of the Homebuilders Index on the amount you will receive in respect of the SEQUINS at maturity. All of the hypothetical examples are based upon the following assumptions:

     
¡  SEQUINS Issue Price: $10.00
¡   Issue Date: January 29, 2007
¡   Valuation Date: February 5, 2008
¡   Maturity Date: February 8, 2008
¡   Initial Index Value: 3,710
¡   Interest Rate: 7.00% per annum, payable quarterly
¡   Interest Payment Dates: The 8th day of each February, May, August and November, commencing on May 8, 2007
  ¡  Index Ratio: 0.00270
¡       Annualized Return from the Issue Date to and Including the Call Date: 17.50% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually)
¡       The closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date is the same as the closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Maturity Date.

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. If the SEQUINS are not called on or before one business day before the Maturity Date, the actual payment at maturity of the SEQUINS will depend on the actual closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Pricing Date, the actual interest rate and the actual closing value of the Homebuilders Index on the Valuation Date.

(1) Except as noted in footnote 5, the final amounts specified in this column include payment of accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Maturity Date.
 
(2) The total annualized yield at maturity represents the interest rate per year used in determining the present values, discounted to the Issue Date (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months), of all payments made or to be made on the SEQUINS, including the call price and all interest payments made through and including the applicable call date, the sum of these present values being equal to the $10 initial price of the SEQUINS. This annualized yield assumes:

  (a) interest payments of 7.00% per annum are (i) made quarterly on the 8th day of each February, May, August, and November, commencing on May 8, 2007, and (ii) reinvested for the remainder of the term of the SEQUINS at the applicable yield listed in this column,

  (b) an investment term from 1/29/2007 to 2/8/2008, and

  (c) computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually.

(3) This annualized yield assumes:

  (a) an investment in the Homebuilders Index at the hypothetical Initial Index Value and an exiting of the investment in the Homebuilders Index at the hypothetical closing value on the Valuation Date,

  (b) a dividend rate of 0.888%, where dividends are paid quarterly (note, however, that each stock comprising the Homebuilders Index would actually pay dividends according to its own payment schedule),

  (c) no transaction fees or expenses, and

  (d) an investment term from 1/29/2007 to 2/8/2008.

(5) This is the hypothetical maximum amount payable on the SEQUINS, assuming the SEQUINS are called one day prior to the Maturity Date.

Hypothetical Call Prices and Total Cash Flows

The examples of hypothetical call prices for select days from July 30, 2007 through February 7, 2008 set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different call dates on the amount you would receive per SEQUINS if we exercised our call option. The examples of hypothetical total cash flows for the same period set forth below are intended to illustrate the total cash amount, including periodic interest payments, you would receive per SEQUINS if we exercised our call option. In each case, (i) the hypothetical final amount payable per SEQUINS equals the sum of the hypothetical Call Price per SEQUINS and the hypothetical interest payable on the call date per SEQUINS and (ii) the hypothetical total cash flow equals the sum of the hypothetical final amount payable per SEQUINS on the call date and the hypothetical prior interest paid. The examples are based on the following assumptions:

  SEQUINS Issue Price: $10.00
 
  Issue Date: January 29, 2007
 
  Maturity Date: February 8, 2008
 
  Interest Rate: 7.00% per annum, payable quarterly
 
  Interest Payment Date: The 8th day of each February, May, August, and November, commencing on May 8, 2007
 
  Yield to Call 17.50% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, compounded annually)

The following examples are for purposes of illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. The actual Call Price of the SEQUINS will depend on the actual call date, the actual interest rate and the actual yield to call.

The S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index

Unless otherwise stated, we have derived all information regarding the Homebuilders Index provided in this pricing supplement, including its composition, method of calculation and changes in components, from Standard & Poor’s, publicly available sources and other sources we believe to be reliable. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Standard & Poor’s. Standard & Poor’s is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of, the Homebuilders Index at any time. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Homebuilders Index.

According to publicly available documents, the Homebuilders Index is one of three indices included in the S&P Industry Index series, which is designed to measure the performance of narrow sub-industries in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®). Each index in the series, including the Homebuilders Index, constitutes a minimum of 21 liquid securities, providing investors with an investable portfolio representing a concentrated industry.

To be eligible for the Homebuilders Index, companies must be in the S&P Total Market Index and rank in the top 90% of their relevant GICS sub-industry (in this case, the homebuilding sub-industry) by float-adjusted market capitalization. Those stocks at the top, whose cumulative market capitalization is less than or equal to 90% of the total market capitalization of the sub-industry, are deemed to qualify. If the stock count is less than 21, then companies having a float-adjusted market capitalization above US$500 million are added sequentially in order of float-adjusted market capitalization. If there are still fewer than 21 stocks in this particular sub-industry index, stocks from a supplementary list of highly correlated sub-industries, that meet the market capitalization and liquidity thresholds, are included in order of their float adjusted market capitalization to reach 21 constituents.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for U.S. investors that are initial holders of the SEQUINS and that hold SEQUINS as capital assets.

¡ Each quarterly coupon payment paid on the SEQUINS should be taxed as ordinary interest income in the year it is received or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting.
 
¡ Upon maturity, or upon the exercise by Citigroup Funding of its right to call the SEQUINS prior to maturity, or upon the sale of a SEQUINS, you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between cash received (less any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and your purchase price for the SEQUINS. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the SEQUINS for more than one year at the time of disposition.

No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the SEQUINS or instruments similar to the SEQUINS for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the SEQUINS are not certain. Accordingly, a prospective investor (including a tax-exempt investor) in the SEQUINS should consult its own tax advisor in determining the tax consequences of an investment in the SEQUINS.

If you are a holder of a SEQUINS that is not a U.S. person, the interest payments made with respect to the SEQUINS should not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided that you comply with applicable certification requirements (including in general the furnishing of an IRS form W-8 or substitute form). Any capital gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the SEQUINS should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if:

  1. such gain is not effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business, and

  2. if you are an individual, you are not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, or the gain is not attributable to a fixed place of business that you maintain in the United States.

You should refer to the pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and should consult your own tax advisors to determine tax consequences particular to your situation.

ERISA and IRA Purchase Considerations

Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, entities the assets of which are deemed to constitute the assets of such plans, governmental or other plans subject to laws substantially similar to ERISA and retirement accounts (including Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE plans, individual retirement accounts and individual retirement annuities) are permitted to purchase the SEQUINS as long as either (A)(1) no Citigroup Global Market affiliate or employee is a fiduciary to such plan or retirement account that has or exercises any discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the SEQUINS or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (2) such plan or retirement account is paying no more than adequate consideration for the SEQUINS or (B) its acquisition and holding of the Notes is not prohibited by any such provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition.

However, individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the SEQUINS if the account, plan or annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or a family member

and the employee receives any compensation (such as, for example, an addition to bonus) based on the purchase of SEQUINS by the account, plan or annuity.
