Due
July 11, 2013
This offering summary represents a summary of the terms and
conditions of the Certificates. We encourage you to read the
prospectus and pricing supplement related to this offering.

Final Terms on page 5 of this offering
summary.
Overview
of the Trust Certificates
The
Principal-Protected Trust Certificates Linked to the
S&P
500
®
Index due July 11, 2013 are equity index-linked preferred
securities issued by Safety First
Trust Series 2008-2
that have a maturity of approximately 5 years. Some key
characteristics of the Certificates include:
|
|
£
|
Principal Protection Like a Fixed-Income
Investment.
Similar
to a fixed-income investment, an investors initial
investment is 100% principal protected if the investor either
(i) holds the Certificates to maturity or
(ii) exercises its Exchange Right and holds both the
Securities and the Warrants until maturity. Because neither the
Securities nor the Warrants are principal protected if held
individually, if an investor exercises its Exchange Right and
holds only the Securities or only the Warrants, the investor
will lose the benefit of principal protection at maturity and
could receive substantially less than the amount of its initial
investment.
|
|
£
|
No Periodic
Payments.
The
Certificates do not offer current income, which means that
investors do not receive any periodic interest or other periodic
payments on the Certificates. Instead of a periodic fixed or
floating rate of interest, return on the Certificates is paid at
maturity and is based upon the appreciation, if any, of the
value of the S&P
500
®
Index. In addition, you will not receive any dividend payments
or other distributions, if any, on the stocks included in the
S&P
500
®
Index.
|
|
£
|
Limited Equity Index-Linked
Participation.
If
you hold the Certificates to maturity, you will be entitled to
receive (i) $10 (your initial investment), plus
(ii) the Supplemental Distribution Amount, which may be
positive or zero, based on the percentage change of the S&P
500
®
Index, but which in no circumstance will be more than $7 per
Certificate. As a result, the maximum payment at maturity,
including principal, will be $17 per Certificate.
|
|
£
|
Citigroup Guarantee of
Trust Assets.
The
payments under the Certificates will be made to the extent that
Citigroup Funding Inc. makes payments under the Securities and
Warrants, the assets of the Trust. Any payment obligations of
Citigroup Funding under the Securities and Warrants are
guaranteed by its parent company Citigroup Inc.

No Interim Income Recognition; Generally Short-Term Capital
Gain or
Loss.
U.S. investors
who make a mixed straddle election should not be
required to recognize income or gain until maturity or sale of
the Certificates. Except for the possibility of long-term
capital gain treatment if the Exchange Right described in the
paragraphs below is exercised, upon maturity or sale of the
Certificates, investors should recognize short-term capital gain
or loss, regardless of how long they have held the Certificates.
U.S. investors can make the mixed straddle election by
complying with the identification requirements described in the
preliminary prospectus and pricing supplement related to this
offering and by filing IRS form 6781 attached to it.
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors.
|
Beginning on the
date the Certificates are issued and ending on the date that is
one business day prior to the Valuation Date, you will have the
right to exchange each Certificate you hold for a
pro rata
portion of the assets of the Trust, which consist of the
Securities and Warrants issued by Citigroup Funding, upon proper
notice to the trustee. You cannot recognize long-term capital
gain from your investment in the Certificates unless you
exercise your Exchange Right, then dispose of either the
Securities or the Warrants, and then hold the remaining
instrument for more than one year after that disposition.
Neither the
Securities nor the Warrants are principal protected. You should
be aware that if you choose to exercise your Exchange Right and
hold only the Securities or only the Warrants, you will lose the
benefit of principal protection at maturity and may receive
substantially less than the amount of your initial investment in
the Certificates.
In order to exercise
your Exchange Right, your brokerage account must be approved for
options trading. You should consult with your financial advisor
to determine whether your brokerage account would meet the
options trading requirements.
Types
of Investors
The Certificates are
hybrid investments that combine characteristics of equity and
fixed income instruments. They may be an appropriate investment
for an investor seeking growth potential on a principal
protected basis and willing to forego current income. This type
of investor may include, but is not limited to:
|
|
£
|
Fixed-income
investors currently invested in zero coupon bonds who are
seeking an opportunity to earn potentially higher equity
index-linked returns.
|
|
£
|
Conservative equity
investors who wish to participate in the upside potential of a
broad-based equity market index, while limiting their exposure
to the downside.
|
|
£
|
Investors who can
hold the Certificates for approximately 5 years.

Key
Benefits
|
|
£
|
Growth
Potential.
The
Supplemental Distribution Amount payable at maturity is based on
the Ending Value of the S&P
500
®
Index on the Valuation Date, enabling you to participate in the
potential increase in the value of the S&P
500
®
Index during the term of the Certificates (up to a maximum
return limit of 70%) without having to acquire each of the
component stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index.
|
|
£
|
Capital
Preservation.
At
maturity, unless you have exercised your Exchange Right, we will
pay you at least the principal amount of the Certificates
regardless of the performance of the S&P
500
®
Index.
|
|
£
|
Diversification.
The
Certificates are linked to the S&P
500
®
Index and may allow you to diversify an existing portfolio mix
of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash.
|
|
£
|
No Interim Income
Recognition.
If
you make the tax elections as described in detail in the
prospectus and pricing supplement related to this offering, you
should not be required to accrue income or to take into account
any gain or loss with respect to the Certificates until maturity
or disposition of the Certificates.
|
Key
Risks
An investment in the Certificates, Securities and Warrants
involves significant risks. While some of the risk
considerations are summarized below, please review the
Risk Factors section of the prospectus and pricing
supplement related to this offering for a full description of
risks.
|
|
£
|
Appreciation Will Be Limited and May Be
Zero.
The
amount of the maturity payment will depend on the Ending Value,
which will be the closing value of the S&P
500
®
Index on the Valuation Date. If the Ending Value is equal to or
less than the Starting Value, the payment you receive at
maturity will be limited to the amount of your initial
investment in the Certificates, even if the closing value of the
S&P
500
®
Index is greater than the Starting Value at one or more times
during the term of the Certificates or if the closing value of
the S&P
500
®
Index at maturity exceeds the Starting Value, but the closing
value of the S&P
500
®
Index on the Valuation Date is equal to or less than the
Starting Value. Moreover, the return on your investment in the
Certificates will be limited to 70% even if the Ending Value is
greater than the Starting Value by more than 70%. Because of the
possibility of limited or zero appreciation of your initial
investment, the Certificates may provide less opportunity for
appreciation than an investment in a similar security that would
allow you to participate fully, without any maximum return
limit, in the appreciation of the S&P
500
®
Index or in some or all of the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index.
|
|
£
|
No Periodic
Payments.
You
will not receive any periodic payments of interest or any other
periodic payments on the Certificates. In addition, you will not
be entitled to receive dividend payments or other distributions,
if any, made on the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index.
|
|
£
|
Potential for a Lower Comparable
Yield.
The
Certificates do not pay any periodic interest. As a result, even
if the Ending Value is greater than the Starting Value, the
effective yield on the Certificates 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
Certificates have been approved for listing on the American
Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. There is
currently no secondary market for the Certificates. Even if a
secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not
continue for the term of the Certificates. In addition, neither
the Securities nor the Warrants will be listed on any exchange.
Although Citigroup Global Markets intends to make a market in
the Certificates, Securities and Warrants, it is not obligated
to do so.
|
|
£
|
Resale Value of the Certificates May Be Lower Than Your
Initial
Investment.
Due
to, among other things, changes in the price of and dividend
yields on the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index, interest rates, the earnings performance of the issuers
of the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index, other economic conditions and Citigroup Funding and
Citigroup Inc.s perceived creditworthiness, the
Certificates may trade at prices below their initial issue price
of $10 per Certificate. You could receive substantially less
than the amount of your initial investment if you sell your
Certificates prior to maturity.
|
|
£
|
Fees and
Conflicts.
Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and its affiliates involved in this offering
are expected to receive compensation for activities and services
provided in connection with the Certificates. Further, Citigroup
Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the Certificates
through the trading of the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index or other instruments, such as options, swaps or futures,
based upon the S&P
500
®
Index or the stocks included in the S&P
500
®
Index by one or more of its affiliates. Each of Citigroup
Fundings or its affiliates hedging activities and
Citigroup Global Marketss role as the Calculation Agent
for the Certificates may result in a conflict of interest.

The United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Certificates Are
Uncertain.
No
statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly
addresses the characterization of the Certificates or
instruments similar to the Certificates 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 Certificates or the Securities are not certain. No ruling is
being requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect
to the Certificates and no assurance can be given that the
Internal Revenue Service will agree with the conclusions
expressed under Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
Considerations in this offering summary or under
What Are the United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
of Investing in the Certificates? and Certain United
States Federal Income Tax Considerations in the prospectus
and pricing supplement related to this offering, and that any
such guidance could have retroactive effect.
|
|
£
|
Citigroup Inc. Credit
Risk.
The
Securities and Warrants are subject to the credit risk of
Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Fundings parent company and the
guarantor of any payments due on the Securities and Warrants.
|
|
£
|
Neither the Securities nor the Warrants Are Principal
Protected
Individually.
If
you exercise your Exchange Right, you will receive a
pro rata
portion of the assets of the Trust, which consist of the
Securities and the Warrants. In order to exercise your Exchange
Right, your brokerage account must be approved for options
trading. You should consult with your financial advisor to
determine whether your brokerage account would meet the options
trading requirements. Neither the Securities nor the Warrants
are principal protected if held individually. Thus, if you
choose to exercise your Exchange Right and hold only the
Securities or only the Warrants, you will lose the benefit of
principal protection at maturity and could receive substantially
less than the amount of your initial investment. If you hold
only the Securities, your investment may result in a loss if the
Ending Value is less than the Starting Value. If you hold only
the Warrants, the payment on the Warrants will be zero unless
the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value.

Additional Risks Upon Exchange if You Hold Only the
Securities or Only the
Warrants.
If
you exercise your Exchange Right and hold only the Securities or
only the Warrants, you will be subject to other risks in
addition to the loss of principal protection at maturity. In the
case of the Securities, these additional risks include that
although any return on your investments will be limited to the
maximum return limit of 70%, your participation in the
depreciation of the S&P
500
®
Index is not similarly limited. Thus, if the Ending Value of the
S&P
500
®
Index is less than the Starting Value, you will participate
fully in the depreciation of the S&P
500
®
Index. In the case of the Warrants, these additional risks
include that the Warrants may lose substantially all their value
due to relatively small increases in the value of the S&P
500
®
Index, and all their value due to an increase above the Starting
Value. In addition, the Securities and the Warrants may trade at
prices substantially below their initial purchase prices.
|
Certain
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following
summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for
U.S. investors that purchase the Certificates at the
initial offering and hold the Certificates as capital assets. In
general, a U.S. investor will be treated as owning a
pro
rata
share of the assets of the Trust. Under the treatment
that each holder will agree to with the Trust and Citigroup
Funding, the Securities and the Warrants will be treated as two
separate financial instruments.
A
U.S. holders tax treatment may depend on the
applicability of certain elections. The Trust will make a
mixed straddle election on behalf of all holders of
the Certificates by identifying on its records the Securities
and the Warrants as a mixed straddle and by filing IRS
form 6781. The Trust also will make an identified
straddle election on behalf of all holders of the
Certificates by identifying on its records each Security and
each Warrant as a separate identified straddle. It is unclear,
however, whether such elections made by the Trust on behalf of a
holder will be effective. Therefore, it is generally advisable
that U.S. investors also make a mixed straddle election and
an identified straddle election by complying with the
identification requirements described in the prospectus and
pricing supplement and by filing IRS form 6781 (applicable
to the mixed straddle election) attached thereto. Assuming that
the mixed straddle election and the identified
straddle election will apply, the Certificates will be taxed as
follows:
|
|
£
|
A U.S. holder
will not be required to accrue income or take into account gain
with respect to Certificates until maturity or disposition.
|
|
£
|
At maturity or upon
a sale of all of a U.S. holders Certificates, such
holder will recognize net capital gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount of cash received and the amount
that U.S. holder paid for the Certificates. Such capital
gain or loss will be short-term gain or loss regardless of how
long the U.S. holder has held the Certificates.
|
|
£
|
If a
U.S. holder exchanges its Certificates for Securities and
Warrants and disposes of one but not the other, such holder will
have long-term capital gain or loss at maturity or on
disposition of the Securities or the Warrants only if the
U.S. holder has held the Securities or the Warrants for
more than one year after the disposition of the other
instrument, respectively. In order to exercise your Exchange
Right, your brokerage account must be approved for options
trading. You should consult with your financial advisor to
determine whether your brokerage account would meet the options
trading requirements. You should be aware, however, that if you
hold only the Securities or only the Warrants, you will lose the
benefit of principal protection at maturity. Losses realized on
the disposition of the Securities or the Warrants may be
required to be capitalized into the tax basis of the Warrants or
the Securities (as the case may be) retained by the
U.S. holder.

No statutory,
judicial or administrative authority addresses the
characterization of the Securities and the Warrants or similar
instruments 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 Certificates are not
certain. The IRS and U.S. Treasury Department recently
issued a Notice (the Notice) that requests public
comments on a comprehensive list of tax policy issues raised by
prepaid forward contracts, which include financial instruments
similar to the Certificates and the Securities. The Notice
contemplates that such instruments may become subject to
taxation on a current accrual basis under one or more possible
approaches, including mark-to-market methodology; a regime
similar to the Contingent Payment Regulations; categorization of
prepaid forward contracts as debt; and treatment of prepaid
forward contracts as constructive ownership
transactions discussed below. The Notice also contemplates that
all (or significant portions) of an investors returns
under prepaid forward contracts could be taxed at ordinary
income rates (as opposed to capital gains rates). It is
currently impossible to predict what guidance, if any, will be
issued as a result of the Notice, and whether any such guidance
could have retroactive effect. In addition, legislation recently
has been introduced for consideration in the United States
Congress that, if enacted into law, would require current
accrual of interest income on prepaid derivative contracts with
a term of more than one year (which would include financial
instruments similar to the Securities and may include financial
instruments similar to the Certificates) acquired after the date
of the legislations enactment. The legislation also would
implement special income accrual rules for publicly traded
prepaid derivative contracts. The schedule for consideration of
this legislation and the outcome of the legislative process
currently is uncertain.
Accordingly, a prospective investor
(including a tax exempt investor) in the Certificates should
consult its own tax advisor in determining the tax consequences
of an investment in the Certificates.
In the case of a
holder of the Certificates that is not a U.S. person, any
gain realized upon the sale, maturity, exchange or other taxable
disposition of the Certificates, the Securities or the Warrants
generally will not be subject to U.S. income or withholding
tax provided that: (i) the holder complies with applicable
certification requirements (including in general the furnishing
of an IRS
form W-8
or substitute form), (ii) in the case of an individual,
such individual is 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 maintained by such individual in the United States, and
(iii) the holder does not own, actually or constructively,
10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
the Citigroup Fundings stock entitled to vote, and are not
a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or
indirectly, to Citigroup Funding through stock ownership.
In the Notice
discussed above, the IRS and U.S. Treasury Department
specifically question whether, and to what degree, payments (or
deemed accruals) in respect of a prepaid forward contract should
be subject to withholding. Accordingly, it is possible that
future guidance could be issued as a result of the Notice
requiring us to withhold on payments made to
non-U.S. Holders
under the Certificates or the Securities.
You should refer to the prospectus and pricing supplement
related to this offering for additional information relating to
U.S. federal income tax and consult your own tax advisors
to determine tax consequences particular to your situation.

Hypothetical
Maturity Payment Examples
The examples of
hypothetical maturity payments set forth below are intended to
illustrate the effect of different Ending Values on the amount
payable on the Certificates at maturity. All of the hypothetical
examples are based on the following assumptions:
|
|
|
|
|
£
Term
of the
Certificates
:
5 years
|
£
Starting
Value
:
1,430.0
|
|
|
£
Hypothetical
Maximum Return Limit on the
Certificates
:
65%
|
|
|
£
The
Certificates are held to maturity and are not exchanged for the
Securities and the Warrants.
|
As shown by the
examples below, if the Index Return is 0% or less, you will
receive an amount at maturity equal to $10.00 per Certificate,
the amount of your initial investment in the Certificates. If
the Index Return is greater than 0%, you will receive an amount
at maturity that is greater than your initial investment in the
Certificates, subject to the maximum return limit.
