|
n Linked
to the EURO STOXX 50® Index (ticker symbol: SX5E) (the “underlying index”)
n Unlike
ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the
securities provide for a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the stated principal amount of the
securities, depending on the performance of the underlying index from its initial index level to its final index level, subject
to the maximum return at maturity. The payment at maturity will reflect the following terms:
n If
the level of the underlying index increases, you will receive the stated principal amount plus 175% participation in the
upside performance of the underlying index, subject to a maximum return at maturity of 42.00% of the stated principal amount
n If
the level of the underlying index decreases, but the decrease is not more than 20%, you will be repaid the stated principal amount
n If
the level of the underlying index decreases by more than 20%, you will receive less than the stated principal amount and have 1-to-1
downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the underlying index in excess of 20%
n Investors
may lose up to 80% of the stated principal amount
n All
payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.
n No
periodic interest payments or dividends
n The
securities will not be listed on any securities exchange and, accordingly, may have limited or no liquidity. You should not invest
in the securities unless you are willing to hold them to maturity.

value of the securities is based on Citigroup Global Market Inc.’s (“CGMI”) proprietary pricing models and our
internal funding rate. It is not an indication of actual profit to CGMI or other of our affiliates, nor is it an indication of
the price, if any, at which CGMI or any other person may be willing to buy the securities from you at any time after issuance.
See “Valuation of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.
(2) CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup
Inc., as the lead agent for the offering, has agreed to sell the securities to Wells Fargo, as agent. Wells Fargo will receive
an underwriting discount and commission of 3.03% ($30.30) for each security it sells. Wells Fargo will pay selected dealers, which
may include Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (“WFA”) and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC, a fixed selling commission
of 1.50% ($15.00) for each security they sell. In addition to the selling commission allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo will pay $0.75
per security of the underwriting discount and commission to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA. The
total underwriting discount and commission and proceeds to Citigroup Inc. shown above give effect to the actual underwriting discount
and commission provided for the sale of the securities. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” on page PS-18 of this

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
The Principal at Risk Securities Linked
to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 are unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Inc. Unlike
conventional debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead,
the securities offer a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the stated principal amount of the securities
depending on the performance of the underlying index from its initial index level to its final index level, subject to the maximum
return at maturity. The securities provide:
| (i) | the possibility of a leveraged return at maturity if the level of the underlying index increases
from its initial index level to its final index level, provided that the total return at maturity of the securities will not exceed
the maximum return of 42.00% of the stated principal amount; |
| (ii) | repayment of principal if, and only if, the final index level is not less than the initial index
level by more than 20%; and |
| (iii) | exposure to decreases in the level of the underlying index if and to the extent the final index
level is less than the initial index level by more than 20%. |
If the final index level is less than
the initial index level by more than 20%, your payment at maturity will be less, and possibly 80% less, than the stated principal
amount of your securities at maturity. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
We have designed the securities for investors
who:
| • | seek 175% leveraged exposure to the positive performance of the underlying index if the final index
level is greater than the initial index level, subject to the maximum return at maturity of 42.00% of the stated principal amount; |
| • | desire to limit the downside exposure to the underlying index through the 20% buffer; |
| • | understand that if the final index level is less than the initial index level by more than 20%,
they will receive less, and possibly 80% less, than the stated principal amount per security at maturity; |
| • | are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends that may be paid on the
stocks that constitute the underlying index; and |
| • | are willing to hold the securities until maturity. |
The securities are not designed for, and
may not be a suitable investment for, investors who:
| • | seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity; |
| • | are unwilling to accept the risk that the underlying index may decrease by more than 20% from its
initial index level to its final index level; |
| • | seek uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the underlying index; |
| • | seek full return of the stated principal amount of the securities at maturity; |
| • | are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Eurozone equity market; |
| • | seek exposure to the underlying index but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent
in the payment at maturity for the securities; |
| • | are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. (i) to obtain exposure to the underlying
index generally or (ii) to obtain exposure to the underlying index that the securities provide specifically; or |
| • | prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies
with comparable credit ratings. |

Hypothetical
Payout Profile |
The diagram below illustrates your payment
at maturity for a range of hypothetical percentage changes from the initial index level to the final index level. Your actual return

Investors in the securities will not
receive any dividends on the stocks that constitute the underlying index. The diagram below does not show any effect of lost dividend
yield over the term of the securities. See “Summary Risk Factors—Investing In The Securities Is Not Equivalent
To Investing In The Underlying Index Or The Stocks That Constitute The Underlying Index” below.
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
An investment in the securities is significantly
riskier than an investment in conventional debt securities. The securities are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment
in our conventional debt securities, including the risk that we may default on our obligations under the securities, and are also
subject to risks associated with the underlying index. Accordingly, the securities are suitable only for investors who are capable
of understanding the complexities and risks of the securities. You should consult your own financial, tax and legal advisers as
to the risks of an investment in the securities and the suitability of the securities in light of your particular circumstances.
The following is a summary of certain key
risk factors for investors in the securities. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risks
relating to an investment in the securities contained in the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” beginning
on page EA-6 in the accompanying product supplement. You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the documents
incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to our business more generally.
You May Lose Up To
80% Of Your Investment.
Unlike conventional debt
securities, the securities do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, your payment at maturity will depend
on the performance of the underlying index. If the final index level is less than the buffer level, you will lose 1% of the stated
principal amount of your securities for every 1% by which the final index level is less than the buffer level.
The Securities Do
Not Pay Interest.
Unlike conventional debt
securities, the securities do not pay interest or any other amounts prior to maturity. You should not invest in the securities
if you seek current income during the term of the securities.
Your Potential Return
On The Securities Is Limited.
Your potential total
return on the securities at maturity is limited to the maximum return at maturity of 42.00%, which is equivalent to a maximum return
at maturity of $420.00 per security. Taking into account the participation rate, any increase in the final index level over the
initial index level by more than 24.00% will not increase your return on the securities and will progressively reduce the effective
amount of leverage provided by the securities.
Investing In The Securities
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 any dividends or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the underlying index. As
of June 30, 2015, the average dividend yield of the underlying index was approximately 3.60%. While it is impossible to know the
future dividend yield of the underlying index, if this average dividend yield were to remain constant for the term of the securities,
you would be forgoing an aggregate yield of approximately 14.40% (assuming no reinvestment of dividends) by investing in the securities
instead of investing directly in the stocks that constitute the underlying index or in another investment linked to the underlying
index that provides for a pass-through of dividends. The payment scenarios described in this pricing supplement do not show any
effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the securities.
Your Payment At Maturity
Depends On The Closing Level Of The Underlying Index On A Single Day.
Because your payment
at maturity depends on the closing level of the underlying index solely on the valuation date, you are subject to the risk that
the closing level of the underlying index on that day may be lower, and possibly significantly lower, than on one or more other
dates during the term of the securities. If you had invested in another instrument linked to the underlying index that you could
sell for full value at a time selected by you, or if the payment at maturity were based on an average of closing levels of the
underlying index, you might have achieved better returns.
The Securities Are
Subject To The Credit Risk Of Citigroup Inc.
If we default on our
obligations under the securities, you may not receive anything owed to you under the securities.
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
The Securities Will Not Be Listed On
A Securities Exchange And You May Not Be Able To Sell Them Prior To Maturity.
The securities will not be listed on any
securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the securities. CGMI currently intends to make a
secondary market in relation to the securities and to provide an indicative bid price for the securities on a daily basis. Any
indicative bid price for the securities provided by CGMI will be determined in CGMI’s sole discretion, taking into account
prevailing market conditions and other relevant factors, and will not be a representation by CGMI that the securities can be sold
at that price, or at all. CGMI may suspend or terminate making a market and providing indicative bid prices without notice, at
any time and for any reason. If CGMI suspends or terminates making a market, there may be no secondary market at all for the securities
because it is likely that CGMI will be the only broker-dealer that is willing to buy your securities prior to maturity. Accordingly,
an investor must be prepared to hold the securities until maturity.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities
On The Pricing Date, Based On CGMI’s Proprietary Pricing Models And Our Internal Funding Rate, Is Less Than The Public Offering
Price.
The difference is attributable to certain
costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in the public offering price. These costs
include (1) the selling concessions paid in connection with the offering of the securities, (2) hedging and other costs incurred
by us and our affiliates in connection with the offering of the securities and (3) the expected profit (which may be more or less
than actual profit) to CGMI or other of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities. These costs
adversely affect the economic terms of the securities because, if they were lower, the economic terms of the securities would be
more favorable to you. The economic terms of the securities are also likely to be adversely affected by the use of our internal
funding rate, rather than our secondary market rate, to price the securities. See “The Estimated Value Of The Securities
Would Be Lower If It Were Calculated Based On Our Secondary Market Rate” below.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities
Was Determined For Us By Our Affiliate Using Proprietary Pricing Models.
CGMI derived the estimated value disclosed
on the cover page of this pricing supplement from its proprietary pricing models. In doing so, it may have made discretionary judgments
about the inputs to its models, such as the volatility of the underlying index, dividend yields on the stocks that constitute the
underlying index and interest rates. CGMI’s views on these inputs may differ from your or others’ views, and as an
underwriter in this offering, CGMI’s interests may conflict with yours. Both the models and the inputs to the models may
prove to be wrong and therefore not an accurate reflection of the value of the securities. Moreover, the estimated value of the
securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement may differ from the value that we or our affiliates may determine
for the securities for other purposes, including for accounting purposes. You should not invest in the securities because of the
estimated value of the securities. Instead, you should be willing to hold the securities to maturity irrespective of the initial
estimated value.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities
Would Be Lower If It Were Calculated Based On Our Secondary Market Rate.
The estimated value of the securities included
in this pricing supplement is calculated based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate at which we are willing to borrow
funds through the issuance of the securities. Our internal funding rate is generally lower than the market rate implied by traded
instruments referencing our debt obligations in the secondary market for those debt obligations, which we refer to as our secondary
market rate. If the estimated value included in this pricing supplement were based on our secondary market rate, rather than our
internal funding rate, it would likely be lower. We determine our internal funding rate based on factors such as the costs associated
with the securities, which are generally higher than the costs associated with conventional debt securities, and our liquidity
needs and preferences. Our internal funding rate is not an interest rate that we will pay to investors in the securities, which
do not bear interest.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities
Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which CGMI Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The
Secondary Market.
Any such secondary market price will fluctuate
over the term of the securities based on the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Moreover, unlike the estimated
value included in this pricing supplement, any value of the securities determined for purposes of a secondary market transaction
will be based on our secondary market rate, which will likely result in a lower value for the securities than if our internal funding
rate were used. In addition, any secondary market price for the securities will be reduced by a bid-ask spread, which may vary
depending on the aggregate stated principal amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the
expected cost of unwinding related hedging transactions. As a result, it is likely that any secondary market price for the securities
will be less than the public offering price.
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
The Value Of The Securities Prior To
Maturity Will Fluctuate Based On Many Unpredictable Factors.
The value of your securities prior to maturity
will fluctuate based on the level and volatility of the underlying index and a number of other factors, including the price and
volatility of the stocks that constitute the underlying index, the dividend yields on the stocks that constitute the underlying
index, interest rates generally, the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro, the correlation between
that exchange rate and the level of the underlying index, the time remaining to maturity and our creditworthiness, as reflected
in our secondary market rate. You should understand that the value of your securities at any time prior to maturity may be significantly
less than the public offering price.
Immediately Following Issuance, Any
Secondary Market Bid Price Provided By CGMI, and The Value That Will Be Indicated On Any Brokerage Account Statements Prepared
By CGMI Or Its Affiliates, Will Reflect A Temporary Upward Adjustment.
The amount of this temporary upward adjustment
will steadily decline to zero over the temporary adjustment period. See “Valuation of the Securities” in this pricing
supplement.
The Underlying Index Is Subject To Risks
Associated With The Eurozone.
The companies whose stocks constitute the
underlying index are leading companies in the Eurozone. A number of countries in the Eurozone are undergoing a financial crisis
affecting their economies, their ability to meet their sovereign financial obligations and their financial institutions. Countries
in the Eurozone that are not currently experiencing a financial crisis may do so in the future as a result of developments in other
Eurozone countries. The economic ramifications of this financial crisis, and its effects on the companies that make up the underlying
index, are impossible to predict. This uncertainty may contribute to significant volatility in the underlying index, and adverse
developments affecting the Eurozone may affect the underlying index in a way that adversely affects the value of and return on
the securities. Furthermore, you should understand that there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies
than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and non-U.S. companies are generally subject
to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules that are different from
those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
The Underlying Index Performance Will
Not Be Adjusted For Changes In The Exchange Rate Between The Euro And The U.S. Dollar.
The underlying index is composed of stocks
traded in Euro, the value of which may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation relative to the U.S. dollar. However, the performance
of the underlying index and the value of your securities will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations. If the Euro appreciates
relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the securities, your return on the securities will underperform an alternative investment
that offers exposure to that appreciation in addition to the change in the level of the underlying index.
Our Offering Of The Securities Is Not
A Recommendation Of The Underlying Index.
The fact that we are offering the securities
does not mean that we or Wells Fargo or its affiliates believe that investing in an instrument linked to the underlying index is
likely to achieve favorable returns. In fact, as we and Wells Fargo are each part of a global financial institution, our affiliates
and affiliates of Wells Fargo may have positions (including short positions) in the stocks that constitute the underlying index
or in instruments related to the underlying index or such stocks and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case
are inconsistent with an investment linked to the underlying index. These and other activities of our affiliates or of Wells Fargo
or its affiliates may affect the level of the underlying index in a way that has a negative impact on your interests as a holder
of the securities.
The Level Of The Underlying Index May
Be Adversely Affected By Our Or Our Affiliates’, Or By Wells Fargo And Its Affiliates’, Hedging And Other Trading Activities.
We have hedged our obligations under the
securities through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who have taken positions directly in the stocks that constitute the underlying
index and other financial instruments related to the underlying index or such stocks and may adjust such positions during the term
of the securities. Our affiliates and Wells Fargo and its affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the underlying index
and other financial instruments related to the underlying index or such stocks on a regular basis (taking long or short positions
or both), for their accounts, for other accounts under their management or to facilitate transactions on behalf of customers. These
activities could affect the level of the underlying index in a way that negatively affects the value of the securities. They could
also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates or Wells Fargo and its affiliates while the value of the securities
declines.
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
We And Our Affiliates, or Wells Fargo
or Its Affiliates, May Have Economic Interests That Are Adverse To Yours As A Result Of Their Respective Business Activities.
Our affiliates or Wells Fargo or its affiliates
may currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuers of the stocks that constitute the underlying index, including
extending loans to, making equity investments in or providing advisory services to such issuers. In the course of this business,
we or our affiliates or Wells Fargo or its affiliates may acquire non-public information about such issuers, which will not be
disclosed to you. Moreover, if any of our affiliates or Wells Fargo or any of its affiliates is or becomes a creditor of any such
issuer, they may exercise any remedies against any such issuer that are available to them without regard to your interests.
The Calculation Agent, Which Is An Affiliate
Of Ours, Will Make Important Determinations With Respect To The Securities.
If certain events occur, such as market
disruption events or the discontinuance of the underlying index, CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make discretionary
judgments that could significantly affect your payment at maturity. In making these judgments, the calculation agent’s interests
as an affiliate of ours could be adverse to your interests as a holder of the securities.
Adjustments To The Underlying Index
May Affect The Value Of Your Securities.
STOXX Limited (the “underlying index

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of
An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.
There is no direct legal authority regarding
the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or
a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting
an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities might be materially
and adversely affected. As described below under “United States Federal Tax Considerations,” in 2007, the U.S. Treasury
Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment
of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after
consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including
the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject
to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect. You should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal
Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and
“United States Federal Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement. You should also consult your tax adviser regarding
the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any
state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Hypothetical
Payments at Maturity |
The examples below are intended to illustrate
how your payment at maturity will depend on whether the final index level is greater than or less than the initial index level
and by how much.
Example 1—Upside Scenario A.
The hypothetical final index level is 3,766.730 (a 10.00% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than
the initial index level.
Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 plus:
$1,000
× final index level – initial index level × participation
rate, subject to the maximum return at maturity
initial index level
= $1,000
+ ($1,000 × 3,766.730 – 3,424.300 × participation
rate), subject to the maximum return at maturity
3,424.300
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00% × 175%), subject to
the maximum return at maturity
= $1,000 + $175.00, subject to the maximum return at maturity
= $1,175.00
Because the underlying index appreciated
from its initial index level to its hypothetical final index level and the leveraged return of $175.00 per security results in
a total return at maturity of 17.50%, which is less than the maximum return at maturity of 42.00%, your payment at maturity in
this scenario would be equal to $1,175.00 per security.
Example 2—Upside Scenario B.
The hypothetical final index level is 5,136.450 (a 50.00% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than
the initial index level.
Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 plus:
$1,000
× final index level – initial index level × participation
rate, subject to the maximum return at maturity
initial index level
= $1,000
+ ($1,000 × 5,136.450 – 3,424.300 × participation
rate), subject to the maximum return at maturity
3,424.300
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 50.00% × 175%), subject to
the maximum return at maturity
= $1,000 + $875.00, subject to the maximum return at maturity
= $1,420.00
Because the underlying index appreciated
from its initial index level to its hypothetical final index level and the leveraged return of $875.00 per security would result
in a total return at maturity of 87.50%, which is greater than the maximum return at maturity of 42.00%, your payment at maturity
in this scenario would equal the maximum payment at maturity of $1,420.00 per security. In this scenario, an investment in the
securities would underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the appreciation of the underlying
index without a maximum return.
Example 3—Par Scenario. The
hypothetical final index level is 3,253.085 (a 5.00% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the initial
index level but greater than the buffer level.
Payment at maturity per security = $1,000
Because the underlying index did not depreciate
from the initial index level to the hypothetical final index level by more than the 20.00% buffer, your payment at maturity in
this scenario would be equal to the $1,000 stated principal amount per security.
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
Example 4—Downside Scenario.
The hypothetical final index level is 856.075 (a 75.00% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the buffer
level.
Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 - ($1,000 ×
buffer level – final index level ) = $1,000 – ($1,000 × 2,739.440 – 856.075)
initial index level 3,424.300
= $1,000 - ($1,000 × 55.00%)
= $1,000 - $550.00
= $450.00
Because the underlying index depreciated
from the initial index level to the hypothetical final index level by more than the 20.00% buffer, your payment at maturity in
this scenario would reflect 1-to-1 exposure to the negative performance of the underlying index beyond the 20.00% buffer.

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
United
States Federal Tax Considerations |
You should
read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to
the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “Summary Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement.
In the opinion
of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is based on current market conditions, a security should be treated as a prepaid
forward contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By purchasing a security, you agree (in the absence of an administrative
determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to this treatment. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the IRS
or a court might not agree with it.
Assuming
this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Tax Considerations”
in the accompanying product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:
| · | You should not recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to maturity, other
than pursuant to a sale or exchange. |
| · | Upon a sale or exchange of a security (including retirement at maturity), you should recognize
capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the security. Such gain or loss
should be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the security for more than one year. |
Under current
law, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the securities, you generally should not
be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any amount paid to you with respect to the securities, provided
that (i) income in respect of the securities is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United
States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements.
In 2007,
the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments
to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character
of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime;
the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which
the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors
should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership”
regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest
charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other
guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment
in the securities, including the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S.
persons should be subject to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect. If withholding tax applies to the securities, we
will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
You should
read the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement. The preceding
discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding
the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
You should
also consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in
the securities and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Supplemental
Plan of Distribution |
Pursuant to the terms of the Global Selling Agency Agreement,
dated November 13, 2013, CGMI, acting as principal, will purchase the securities from Citigroup Inc. CGMI, as the lead agent for
the offering, has agreed to sell the securities to Wells Fargo, as agent. Wells Fargo will receive an underwriting discount and
commission of 3.03% ($30.30) for each security it sells. Wells Fargo will pay selected dealers, which may include WFA and Wells
Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC, a fixed selling commission of 1.50% ($15.00) for each security they sell. In addition to
the selling commission allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo will pay $0.75 per security of the underwriting discount and commission to WFA
as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA.
The public offering price of the securities includes the underwriting
discount and commission described on the cover page of this pricing supplement and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the securities. We have hedged our obligations under the securities through affiliated or unaffiliated counterparties, including
affiliates of Wells Fargo. Our cost of hedging will include the projected profit that such counterparties, which may include our
affiliates and affiliates of Wells Fargo, expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond the control of
any counterparty, which may include our affiliates and affiliates of Wells Fargo, such hedging may result in a profit that is more
or less than expected, or could result in a loss.
This pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement
and prospectus may be used by Wells Fargo or an affiliate of Wells Fargo in connection with offers and sales related to market-making
or other transactions in the securities. Wells Fargo or an affiliate of Wells Fargo may act as principal or agent in such transactions.
Such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise.
No action has been or will be taken by Citigroup Inc., Wells
Fargo or any broker-dealer affiliates of any of them that would permit a public offering of the securities or possession or distribution
of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States,
where action for that purpose is required. No offers, sales or deliveries of the securities, or distribution of this pricing supplement,
the accompanying product supplement, underlying supplement or prospectus supplement and prospectus, may be made in or from any
jurisdiction except in circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose
any obligations on Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo or any broker-dealer affiliates of any of them.
For the following jurisdictions, please note specifically:
Argentina
Citigroup Inc.’s Series G Medium-Term Senior Notes program
and the related offer of the securities and the sale of the securities under the terms and conditions provided herein does not

Valuation
of the Securities |
CGMI calculated the estimated value of
the securities set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement based on proprietary pricing models. CGMI’s proprietary
pricing models generated an estimated value for the securities by estimating the value of a hypothetical package of financial instruments
that would replicate the payout on the securities, which consists of a fixed-income bond (the “bond component”) and
one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of the securities (the “derivative component”). CGMI
calculated the estimated value of the bond component using a discount rate based on our internal funding rate. CGMI calculated
the estimated value of the derivative component based on a proprietary derivative-pricing model, which generated a theoretical
price for the instruments that constitute the derivative component based on various inputs, including the factors described under
“Summary Risk Factors—The Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity Will Fluctuate Based On Many Unpredictable Factors”
in this pricing supplement, but not including our creditworthiness. These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions
made by CGMI in its discretionary judgment.
For a period of approximately three months
following issuance of the securities, the price, if any, at which CGMI would be willing to buy the securities from investors, and
the value that will be indicated for the securities on any brokerage account statements prepared by CGMI or its affiliates (which
value CGMI may also publish through one or more financial information vendors), will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from
the price or value that would otherwise be determined. This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of the hedging profit
expected to be realized by CGMI or its affiliates over the term of the securities. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment
will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the three-month temporary adjustment period. However, CGMI is not obligated
to buy the securities from investors at any time. See “Summary Risk Factors—The Securities Will Not Be Listed On A
Securities Exchange And You May Not Be Able To Sell Them Prior To Maturity.”
Validity
of the Securities |
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP, as special products counsel to Citigroup Inc., when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and
issued by Citigroup Inc. and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment therefor, such
securities will be valid and binding obligations of Citigroup Inc., enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles
of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided
that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date of this pricing supplement and is limited to the laws
of the State of New York, except that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the application of state securities or Blue Sky laws
to the securities.
In giving this opinion, Davis Polk &
Wardwell LLP has assumed the legal conclusions expressed in the opinion set forth below of Michael J. Tarpley, Associate General
Counsel–Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc. In addition, this opinion is subject to the assumptions set forth in the letter
of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP dated November 13, 2013, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed
by Citigroup Inc. on November 13, 2013, that the indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid,
binding and enforceable agreement of the trustee and that none of the terms of the securities nor the issuance and delivery of
the securities, nor the compliance by Citigroup Inc. with the terms of the securities, will result in a violation of any provision
of any instrument or agreement then binding upon Citigroup Inc. or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having
jurisdiction over Citigroup Inc.
In the opinion of Michael J. Tarpley, Associate
General Counsel–Capital Markets of Citigroup Inc., (i) the terms of the securities offered by this pricing supplement have
been duly established under the indenture and the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) of Citigroup Inc.
has duly authorized the issuance and sale of such securities and such authorization has not been modified or rescinded; (ii) Citigroup
Inc. is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (iii) the indenture has been duly authorized,
executed, and delivered by Citigroup Inc.; and (iv) the execution and delivery of such indenture
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index Due July 8, 2019 | |
and of the securities offered
by this pricing supplement by Citigroup Inc., and the performance by Citigroup Inc. of its obligations thereunder, are within its
corporate powers and do not contravene its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents. This opinion
is given as of the date of this pricing supplement and is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Michael J. Tarpley, or other internal attorneys
with whom he has consulted, has examined and is familiar with originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to his satisfaction,
of such corporate records of Citigroup Inc., certificates or documents as he has deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions
expressed above. In such examination, he or such persons has assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness
of all signatures (other than those of officers of Citigroup Inc.), the authenticity of all documents submitted to him or such
persons as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to him or such persons as certified or photostatic
