Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. Guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Selected Risk Considerations • You may lose some or all of your investment. Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not provide for the repayment of the stated principal amount at maturity in all circumstances. If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its initial underlying value and a knock - in event has occurred, meaning the closing value of at least one of the underlyings was less than its knock - in value on at least one scheduled trading day during the period from but excluding the pricing date to and including the final valuation date, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date. If the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date is less than its initial underlying value and a knock - in event has occurred, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of your securities for every 1% by which the worst performing underlying on the final valuation date has declined from its initial underlying value. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the securities, and you may lose up to all of your investment. • You will not receive any contingent coupon for any observation period during which a coupon barrier event occurs. • The contingent coupon payments are contingent on the closing value of each underlying on each trading day throughout the observation periods. • The securities are subject to heightened risk because they have multiple underlyings. • The return on the securities depends solely on the performance of the worst performing underlying. As a result, the securities are subject to the risks of each of the underlyings and will be negatively affected if any one underlying performs poorly. • You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship between the underlyings. The less correlated the underlyings, the more likely it is that any one of the underlyings will perform poorly over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the underlyings to perform poorly. • The securities may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity, limiting your opportunity to receive contingent coupons if the worst performing underlying performs in a way that would otherwise be favorable. • The securities offer downside exposure, but no upside exposure, to the underlyings. • 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 Russell 2000 ® Index is subject to risks associated with small capitalization stocks . • 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.
