· If
the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying is less than or equal to its initial underlying value:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × the underlying return of the worst
performing underlying), subject to the maximum loss at maturity
If the worst performing underlying depreciates from its initial
underlying value to its final underlying value, you will be exposed to that depreciation up to the maximum loss at maturity. You should
not invest in the securities unless you are willing and able to bear the risk of losing up to the maximum loss at maturity. |
Final underlying value: |

(1) On the date of this pricing supplement,
the estimated value of the securities is $952.20 per security, which is less than the issue price. The estimated value of the securities
is based on CGMI’s 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 will receive an underwriting
fee of up to $11.25 for each security sold in this offering. The total underwriting fee and proceeds to issuer in the table above give
effect to the actual total underwriting fee. For more information on the distribution of the securities, see “Supplemental Plan
of Distribution” in this pricing supplement. In addition to the underwriting fee, CGMI and its affiliates may profit from hedging
activity related to this offering, even if the value of the securities declines. See “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the
accompanying prospectus.
(3) The per security proceeds to issuer
indicated above represent the minimum per security proceeds to issuer for any security, assuming the maximum per security underwriting
fee. As noted above, the underwriting fee is variable.
Investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an
investment in conventional debt securities. See “Summary Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-5.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission
nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities or determined that this pricing supplement and the accompanying
product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus are truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary
is a criminal offense.

Hypothetical Examples
The examples below illustrate how to determine the payment at maturity
on the securities, assuming the various hypothetical final underlying values indicated below. The examples are solely for illustrative
purposes, do not show all possible outcomes and are not a prediction of what the actual payment at maturity on the securities will be.
The actual payment at maturity will depend on the actual final underlying value of the worst performing underlying.
The examples below are based on the following hypothetical values and
do not reflect the actual initial underlying values of the underlyings. For the actual initial underlying value of each underlying, see
the cover page of this pricing supplement. We have used these hypothetical values, rather than the actual values, to simplify the calculations
and aid understanding of how the securities work. However, you should understand that the actual payment at maturity on the securities
will be calculated based on the actual initial underlying value of each underlying, and not the hypothetical values indicated below. For
ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

Example 1—Upside Scenario A. The final underlying value
of the worst performing underlying is 105.00, resulting in a 5.00% underlying return for the worst performing underlying. In this example,
the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying is greater than its initial underlying value.

Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 + the return amount, subject
to the maximum return at maturity
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × the underlying return of the worst performing
underlying × the upside participation rate), subject to the maximum return at maturity
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.00% × 100.00%), subject to the maximum
return at maturity
= $1,000 + $50.00, subject to the maximum return at maturity
= $1,050.00
In this scenario, the worst performing underlying has appreciated from
its initial underlying value to its final underlying value, and your total return at maturity would equal the underlying return of the
worst performing underlying multiplied by the upside participation rate.
Example 2—Upside Scenario B. The final underlying value
of the worst performing underlying is 325.00, resulting in a 225.00% underlying return for the worst performing underlying. In this example,
the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying is greater than its initial underlying value.

maximum return at maturity
= $1,000 + $2,250.00, subject to the maximum return at maturity
= $2,195.00
In this scenario, the worst performing underlying has appreciated from
its initial underlying value to its final underlying value, but the underlying return of the worst performing underlying multiplied
by the upside participation rate would exceed the maximum return at maturity. As a result, your total return at maturity in this scenario
would be limited to the maximum return at maturity, and an investment in the securities would underperform a hypothetical alternative
investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the appreciation of the worst performing underlying without a maximum return.

Example 3—Downside Scenario A. The final underlying value
of the worst performing underlying is 98.00, resulting in a -2.00% underlying return for the worst performing underlying.

= $1,000 + -$20.00, subject to the maximum loss at maturity
= $980.00, subject to the maximum loss at maturity
= $980.00
In this scenario, the worst performing underlying has depreciated from
its initial underlying value to its final underlying value, but not by more than 5.00%. As a result, your payment at maturity would reflect
1-to-1 exposure to the negative performance of the worst performing underlying and you would incur a loss at maturity equal to the depreciation
of the worst performing underlying.
Example 4—Downside Scenario B. The final underlying value
of the worst performing underlying is 80.00, resulting in a -20.00% underlying return for the worst performing underlying.

maturity
= $1,000 + -$200.00, subject to the maximum loss at maturity
= $800.00, subject to the maximum loss at maturity
= $950
In this scenario, the worst performing underlying has depreciated from
its initial underlying value to its final underlying value by more than 5.00%. As a result, you would incur a loss at maturity equal to
the maximum loss at maturity.

Summary Risk Factors
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 (guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.), including the risk that we and Citigroup Inc. may default on our obligations under the securities,
and are also subject to risks associated with each underlying. 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 advisors 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-7 in the accompanying product
supplement. You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated
by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including Citigroup Inc.’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to the business of Citigroup Inc. more generally.
| § | You may not receive any return on your investment in the securities and may lose up to the maximum loss at maturity. You will
receive a positive return on your investment in the securities only if the worst performing underlying appreciates from its initial underlying
value to its final underlying value. If the final underlying value of the worst performing underlying is less than its initial underlying
value, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the securities for every 1% by which its final underlying value is less than
its initial underlying value, subject to the maximum loss at maturity. As the securities do not pay any interest, if the worst performing
underlying does not appreciate sufficiently from its initial underlying value to its final underlying value over the term of the securities
or if the worst performing underlying depreciates from its initial underlying value to its final underlying value, the overall return
on the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on our conventional debt securities of comparable maturity. |
| § | Although the securities limit your loss to the maximum loss at maturity, you may nevertheless suffer additional losses on your
investment in real value terms if the worst performing underlying declines or does not appreciate sufficiently from its initial underlying
value to its final underlying value. This is because inflation may cause the real value of the stated principal amount to be less
at maturity than it is at the time you invest, and because an investment in the securities represents a forgone opportunity to invest
in an alternative asset that does generate a positive real return. This potential loss in real value terms is significant given the term
of the securities. You should carefully consider whether an investment that may not provide for any return on your investment, or may
provide a return that is lower than the return on alternative investments, is appropriate for you. In addition, the maximum loss at maturity
applies only at maturity. If you sell your securities prior to maturity, the price you receive may result in a loss that is significantly
greater than the maximum loss at maturity. |
| § | 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, even if the worst performing underlying appreciates by significantly more than the maximum return at maturity.
If the worst performing underlying appreciates by more than the maximum return at maturity, the securities will underperform an alternative
investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the performance of the worst performing underlying. When lost dividends are taken into account,
the securities may underperform an alternative investment providing 1-to-1 exposure to the performance of the worst performing underlying
even if the worst performing underlying appreciates by less than the maximum return at maturity. |
| § | 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. |
| § | The securities are subject to heightened risk because they have multiple underlyings. The securities are more risky than similar
investments that may be available with only one underlying. With multiple underlyings, there is a greater chance that any one underlying
will perform poorly, adversely affecting your return on the securities. |
| § | The securities are subject to the risks of each of the underlyings and will be negatively affected if any one underlying performs
poorly. You are subject to risks associated with each of the underlyings. If any one underlying performs poorly, you will be negatively
affected. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the underlyings, where the blended performance of the underlyings would
be better than the performance of the worst performing underlying alone. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever of the
underlyings is the worst performing underlying. |
| § | You will not benefit in any way from the performance of any better performing underlying. The return on the securities depends
solely on the performance of the worst performing underlying, and you will not benefit in any way from the performance of any better performing
underlying. |
| § | You will be subject to risks relating to the relationship between the underlyings. It is preferable from your perspective for
the underlyings to be correlated with each other, in the sense that their closing values tend to increase or decrease at similar times
and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the underlyings will not exhibit this relationship.
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. It is impossible to predict
what the relationship between the underlyings will be over the term of the securities. The underlyings differ in significant ways and,
therefore, may not be correlated with each other. |
| § | You will not receive dividends or have any other rights with respect to the underlyings. You will not receive any dividends
with respect to the underlyings. This lost dividend yield may be significant over the term of the securities. The payment scenarios described
in this pricing supplement do not show any effect of such lost dividend yield over the term of the securities. In addition, you will not
have voting rights or any other rights with respect to the underlyings or the stocks included in the underlyings. |
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. |
|
| § | Your payment at maturity depends on the closing value of the worst performing underlying on a single day. Because your payment
at maturity depends on the closing value of the worst performing underlying solely on the valuation date, you are subject to the risk
that the closing value of the worst performing underlying 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 worst performing underlying 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 values of the
worst performing underlying, you might have achieved better returns. |
| § | The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc. If we default on
our 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 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 issue price. The difference is attributable to certain costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging
the securities that are included in the issue price. These costs include (i) any selling concessions or other fees paid in connection
with the offering of the securities, (ii) hedging and other costs incurred by us and our affiliates in connection with the offering of
the securities and (iii) 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, and correlation between, the closing values of
the underlyings, dividend yields on the underlyings 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 our secondary
market rate, which is the rate that CGMI will use in determining the value of the securities for purposes of any purchases of the securities
from you in the secondary market. 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 is payable on the securities. |
Because there is not an active market for traded instruments
referencing our outstanding debt obligations, CGMI determines our secondary market rate based on the market price of traded instruments
referencing the debt obligations of Citigroup Inc., our parent company and the guarantor of all payments due on the securities, but subject
to adjustments that CGMI makes in its sole discretion. As a result, our secondary market rate is not a market-determined measure of our
creditworthiness, but rather reflects the market’s perception of our parent company’s creditworthiness as adjusted for discretionary
factors such as CGMI’s preferences with respect to purchasing the securities prior to maturity.
| § | 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 issue price. |
| § | 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 closing values of the underlyings, the volatility of, and correlation between, the closing
values of the underlyings, dividend yields on the underlyings, interest rates generally, the time remaining to maturity and our and Citigroup
Inc.’s creditworthiness, as reflected in our secondary market rate, among other factors described under “Risk Factors Relating
to the |
Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. |
|
Securities—Risk Factors Relating to
All Securities—The value of your securities prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors” in the accompanying
product supplement. Changes in the closing values of the underlyings may not result in a comparable change in the value of your securities.
You should understand that the value of your securities at any time prior to maturity may be significantly less than the issue 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. |
| § | Our offering of the securities is not a recommendation of any underlying. The fact that we are offering the securities does
not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the underlyings is likely to achieve favorable returns. In fact, as
we are part of a global financial institution, our affiliates may have positions (including short positions) in the underlyings or in
instruments related to the underlyings, and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment
linked to the underlyings. These and other activities of our affiliates may affect the closing values of the underlyings in a way that
negatively affects the value of and your return on the securities. |
| § | The closing value of an underlying may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities.
We expect to hedge our obligations under the securities through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who may take positions in the underlyings
or in financial instruments related to the underlyings and may adjust such positions during the term of the securities. Our affiliates
also take positions in the underlyings or in financial instruments related to the underlyings 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 closing values of the underlyings in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the
securities. They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. |
| § | We and our affiliates may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of our affiliates’ business activities.
Our affiliates engage in business activities with a wide range of companies. These activities include extending loans, making and facilitating
investments, underwriting securities offerings and providing advisory services. These activities could involve or affect the underlyings
in a way that negatively affects the value of and your return on the securities. They could also result in substantial returns for us
or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. In addition, in the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire
non-public information, which will not be disclosed to you. |
| § | The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the securities. If
certain events occur during the term of the securities, such as market disruption events and other events with respect to an underlying,
CGMI, as calculation agent, will be required to make discretionary judgments that could significantly affect your return on the securities.
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. See “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities—Risk Factors Relating to All Securities—The calculation
agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the securities” in the accompanying product
supplement. |
| § | Changes that affect the underlyings may affect the value of your securities. The sponsors of the underlyings may at any time
make methodological changes or other changes in the manner in which they operate that could affect the values of the underlyings. We are
not affiliated with any such underlying sponsor and, accordingly, we have no control over any changes any such sponsor may make. Such
changes could adversely affect the performance of the underlyings and the value of and your return on the securities. |

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
Prospective investors should note that the section entitled “United
States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement does not apply to the securities issued under this pricing
supplement and is superseded by the following discussion.
In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the securities
should be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in the section
of the accompanying prospectus supplement called “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes
Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments,” and the remaining discussion is based on this treatment.
If you are a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus
supplement), you will be required to recognize interest income during the term of the securities at the “comparable yield,”
which generally is the yield at which we could issue a fixed-rate debt instrument with terms similar to those of the securities, including
the level of subordination, term, timing of payments and general market conditions, but excluding any adjustments for the riskiness of
the contingencies or the liquidity of the securities. We are required to construct a “projected payment schedule” in respect
of the securities representing a payment the amount and timing of which would produce a yield to maturity on the securities equal to the
comparable yield. Assuming you hold the securities until their maturity, the amount of interest you include in income based on the comparable
yield in the taxable year in which the securities mature will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference, if any, between
the actual and projected payment on the securities at maturity as determined under the projected payment schedule.
Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of the securities prior to maturity,
you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds received and your adjusted tax basis in the securities.
Your adjusted tax basis will equal your purchase price for the securities, increased by interest previously included in income on the
securities. Any gain generally will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss generally will be treated as ordinary loss to the extent
of prior interest inclusions on the security and as capital loss thereafter.
We have determined that the comparable yield for a security is a rate
of 4.362%, compounded semi-annually, and that the projected payment schedule with respect to a security consists of a single payment of
$1,241.049 at maturity. The following table states the amount of interest (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference,
if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a security) that will be deemed to have accrued with
respect to a security for each accrual period (assuming a day count convention of 30 days per month and 360 days per year), based upon
the comparable yield set forth above:

$4.968 |
July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 |

$24.415 |
July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 |
$24.948 |
January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 |
$25.492 |
July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 |
$26.048 |
January 1, 2027 through maturity |
$20.701 |
Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes
a representation by us regarding the actual amount that we will pay on the securities.
Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to the discussions below regarding
Section 871(m) and in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” and “—FATCA”
in the accompanying prospectus supplement, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) of the
securities, under current law you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any payment on
or any amount received on the sale, exchange or retirement of 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. See “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying
prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of the securities.
As discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying prospectus supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend
equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities (“Underlying
Securities”) or indices that include Underlying Securities. Section 871(m) generally applies to instruments that substantially replicate
the economic performance of one or more Underlying Securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.
However, the regulations, as modified by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) notice, exempt financial instruments issued prior
to January 1, 2023 that do not have a “delta” of one. Based on the terms of the securities and representations provided by
us, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be treated as transactions that have a “delta” of one within
the meaning of the regulations with respect to any Underlying Security and, therefore, should not be subject to withholding tax under
Section 871(m).

A determination that the securities are not subject to Section 871(m)
is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this treatment. Moreover, Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend
on your particular circumstances, including your other transactions. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application
of Section 871(m) to the securities.
If withholding tax applies to the securities, we will not be required
to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
You should read the section entitled “United States Federal
Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus 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 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
CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and the
underwriter of the sale of the securities, is acting as principal and will receive an underwriting fee of up to $11.25 for each security
sold in this offering. The actual underwriting fee will be equal to the selling concession provided to selected dealers, as described
in this paragraph. From this underwriting fee, CGMI will pay selected dealers not affiliated with CGMI a variable selling concession of
up to $11.25 for each security they sell.
See “Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest” in the
accompanying product supplement and “Plan of Distribution” in each of the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus
for additional information.
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 or Citigroup Inc.’s 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 four 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 four-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 any 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 Global Markets Holdings Inc., when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued
by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment therefor,
such securities and the related guarantee of Citigroup Inc. will be valid and binding obligations of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings
Inc. and Citigroup Inc., respectively, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency

(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

delivery of the securities and the related guarantee, nor the compliance by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.
with the terms of the securities and the related guarantee respectively, will result in a violation of any provision of any instrument
or agreement then binding upon Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc., as applicable, or any restriction imposed by
any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. or Citigroup Inc., as applicable.
