DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

The securities referenced on the cover page of this prospectus have been issued and/or guaranteed under one of the Registration Statements listed on the cover of this prospectus. A pricing supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing each such security (each, a “disclosure document”) have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each of these disclosure documents is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, except for any portion of each disclosure document that incorporates by reference the issuer’s prior and future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

MARKET-MAKING ACTIVITIES

This prospectus, together with the relevant pricing supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing the terms of the specific series of securities being offered and sold, may be used by Citigroup’s broker-dealer subsidiaries in connection with offers and sales of such securities (subject to obtaining any necessary approval of any stock exchange on which such securities are listed for any of these offers and sales) in market-making transactions at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any of these subsidiaries may act as principal or agent in these transactions. None of these subsidiaries is obligated to make a market in any of the securities referenced on the cover of this prospectus and any such subsidiary may discontinue any market making at any time without notice, at its sole discretion.

Each of the broker-dealer subsidiaries of Citigroup is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and may participate in distributions of the securities referenced on the cover page of this prospectus. Accordingly, the participation of any such entity in the offerings of such securities will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in FINRA Rule 5121 or will be conducted pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, as applicable.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All secondary market offers and sales made pursuant to this prospectus and the pricing supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing the terms of the specific series of securities being offered and sold will be for the accounts of the broker-dealer subsidiaries of Citigroup in connection with market-making transactions.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

As required by the Securities Act of 1933, Citigroup filed a registration statement relating to the market-making activities of its subsidiaries in the securities referenced on the cover of this prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This prospectus is a part of that registration statement, which includes additional information.

Citigroup files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document Citigroup files at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. You can also request copies of the documents, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing the Public Reference Section of the SEC. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. These SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

The SEC allows Citigroup to “incorporate by reference” the information it files with the SEC, which means that it can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus. Information that Citigroup files later with the SEC will automatically update information in this prospectus. In all cases, you should rely on the later information over different information included in this prospectus. Citigroup incorporates by reference the documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (File No. 1-09924):
