CITIGROUP INC.
     Citigroup is a diversified global financial services holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to consumer and corporate customers Citigroup has more than 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 100 countries. Citigroup’s activities are conducted through the Global Consumer, Markets & Banking, Global Wealth Management and Alternative Investments business segments. Citigroup’s principal subsidiaries are Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Grupo Financiero Banamex, 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 with dividends and advances that it receives from subsidiaries. Citigroup’s subsidiaries that operate in the banking and securities business 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 before it may pay dividends on its stock. Each of Citigroup’s major operating subsidiaries finances its operations on a stand-alone basis consistent with its capitalization and ratings.
     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 when doing so is not otherwise in the interests of Citigroup or its shareholders or creditors.
     Citigroup’s principal office is located at 399 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10043, and its telephone number is (212) 559-1000.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
     Citigroup is registering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for the selling stockholder. Pursuant to an acquisition agreement, dated as of December 13, 2006 and amended as of May 9, 2007, Citibank Overseas Investment Corporation, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, agreed to cause Citigroup to register the resale of the common stock owned by the selling stockholder. Under the acquisition agreement, Citibank Overseas Investment Corporation also agreed that it would pay the costs and fees of registering the shares of common stock; however, the selling stockholder will pay any brokerage commissions relating to the sale of the shares of common stock.
     The selling stockholder may sell the common stock being offered hereby in one or more of the following ways at various times:
    directly to institutional investors; or
 
    through agents to the public or to institutional investors.
     The selling stockholder may offer its shares of common stock in one or more offerings pursuant to one or more prospectus supplements, if required by applicable law, and any such prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the relevant offering to the extent required.
     The selling stockholder will act independently of Citigroup in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholder may sell the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.
     The selling stockholder may negotiate and pay broker-dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may allow other broker-dealers to participate in resales. The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers involved in the sale or resale of the common stock may qualify as “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the broker-dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters’ compensation under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholder qualifies as an “underwriter,” it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act.
