November 7, 2011 Medium-Term Notes, Series D Offering Summary No. 2011-MTNDG0140, Relating to Preliminary Pricing Supplement No. 2011-MTNDG0140 dated November 7, 2011 Registration Statement Nos. 333-172554 and 333-172554-01 Filed pursuant to Rule 433

Citigroup Funding Inc. Buffered Return Optimization Securities

Linked to the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund due on or about November 21, 2013

Investment Description

Buffered Return Optimization Securities (the “Securities”) are unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations issued by Citigroup Funding Inc. (the “Issuer”) linked to the performance of shares of the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund. We refer to the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund as the “Fund”, shares of the Fund to which these Securities are linked as the “Underlying Equity” and the FTSE China 25 Index as the “Underlying Index.” If the Underlying Return is positive, the Issuer will repay your principal amount at maturity plus pay a return equal to the Underlying Return times the Multiplier of 3.00, up to the Maximum Gain, which will be set on the Trade Date and is expected to be between 34.00% and 38.00%. If the Underlying Return is zero or negative, but the Underlying Equity has not declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the Issuer will repay your principal amount at maturity. However, if the Underlying Return is negative and the Underlying Equity has declined by a percentage more than the 10% Buffer Amount, the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount, resulting in a loss of principal that is equal to the negative Underlying Return in excess of the 10% Buffer Amount. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. The Issuer will not pay any interest on the Securities, and you will not be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Underlying Equity, the stocks or other securities held by the Fund or the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index. You may lose up to 90% of the principal amount of the Securities. The downside market exposure to the Underlying Equity is buffered only if you hold the Securities until maturity. Any payments that become due on the Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., the Issuer’s parent company. Therefore, all payments on the Securities, including any repayment of the principal amount, are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. If the Issuer and Citigroup Inc. were to default on their payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities, and you could lose your entire investment.

Features

q Enhanced Growth Potential: At maturity, the Securities enhance any positive Underlying Return, up to the Maximum Gain. If the Underlying Return is negative, investors will be exposed to any decline in the Underlying Equity from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date in excess of the 10% Buffer Amount.

q Buffered Downside Market Exposure: If the Underlying Return is zero or negative and the Underlying Equity has not declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount, the Issuer will repay the principal amount at maturity. However, if the Underlying Equity has declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount, meaning the Underlying Return is less than -10%, the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount, resulting in a loss of principal to investors that is equal to the negative Underlying Return in excess of the Buffer Amount. The downside market exposure to the Underlying Equity is buffered only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING EQUITY, SUBJECT TO THE BUFFER AMOUNT. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF CITIGROUP FUNDING INC. OR ITS PARENT COMPANY, CITIGROUP INC. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE FWP-4, “RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE SECURITIES” IN THE PRELIMINARY PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND “RISK FACTORS” IN THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES.

Indicative Terms

Issuer: Citigroup Funding Inc.
Guarantor: Any payments that become due on the Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Funding Inc.’s parent
company; therefore all payments on the Securities are subject to the creditworthiness of Citigroup Inc. In addition, because the Securities do not guarantee the repayment of the principal amount, you may receive an amount at maturity that is up to
90% less than the principal amount of the Securities.
Issue Price: $10.00 per Security for brokerage accounts; $9.80 per Security for advisory accounts. See “Supplemental Plan of
Distribution.”
Principal Amount: $10.00 per Security. The payment at maturity will be based on the principal amount per Security.
Term: Approximately 2 years
Underlying Equity: Shares of the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund, the performance of
which will determine your Payment at Maturity
Fund: iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund
Underlying Index: FTSE China 25 Index
Buffer Amount: 10%
Multiplier: 3.00
Maximum Gain: 34.00% to 38.00%. The actual Maximum Gain will be determined on the Trade Date.
Payment at Maturity (per $10.00 principal amount Security) : ¨ If the Underlying Return is positive, the
Issuer will repay the principal amount plus pay a return equal to the Underlying Return multiplied by the Multiplier, but no more than the Maximum Gain. Accordingly, the payment at maturity per $10.00 principal amount Security would be calculated as
follows: $10.00 + [$10.00 × the lesser of (a) Underlying
Return × Multiplier and (b) the Maximum Gain] ¨ If the Underlying Return is zero or negative but the Underlying Equity has not declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount, the Issuer will repay the full principal
amount at maturity. ¨ If the Underlying Return is negative and the Underlying Equity has declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount, the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss of principal to investors
that is equal to the depreciation of the Underlying Equity in excess of the Buffer Amount from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. Accordingly, the payment at maturity per $10.00 principal amount Security would be calculated as
follows: $10.00 + [$10.00 x (Underlying Return +
10%)] Your principal is exposed to any depreciation of the
Underlying Equity beyond the Buffer Amount, and you may lose up to 90% of the principal amount at maturity.
Underlying Return: Final Price-Initial Price Initial Price
Initial Price: The closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Trade Date.
Final Price: The closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Final Valuation Date.
Calculation Agent: Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
Clearing and Settlement: DTC
Trustee: The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor trustee under an indenture dated June 1, 2005)

FWP-3

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Some of the risks that apply to the Securities are summarized below. We urge you to read the explanation of risks relating to the Securities below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of your particular circumstances.

¨ You Risk Losing up to 90% of the Principal Amount — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that the Issuer will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Securities. The Issuer will only pay you the principal amount of your Securities if the Initial Price has not declined from the Final Price by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount of 10% and will only make such payment at maturity. If the Final Price has declined from the Initial Price by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount, meaning the Underlying Return is less than -10%, the Issuer will pay you less than the full principal amount, resulting in a loss of the principal amount that is equal to the depreciation of the Underlying Equity from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date in excess of the Buffer Amount. Accordingly, if the Underlying Equity has declined by more than 10% from the Initial Price over the term of the Securities, you risk losing 90% of your principal amount.

¨ No Interest Payments — The Issuer will not make periodic interest payments on the Securities, and the return on the Securities is limited to the performance of the Underlying Equity from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date, subject to the Maximum Gain.

¨ Downside Market Exposure to the Underlying Equity is Buffered Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity — The Issuer will pay you at least the principal amount of your Securities under the certain limited circumstances described in this offering summary only if you hold your Securities to maturity. The market value of the Securities may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the Final Valuation Date. If you are able to sell your Securities in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a loss even if the Underlying Equity has not declined by more than 10%. You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. The buffered downside market exposure provided at maturity is subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. and is not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party.

¨ The Multiplier Applies Only if You Hold the Securities to Maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, the price you receive will likely not reflect the full economic value of the Multiplier or the Securities themselves, and the return you realize may be less than the Underlying Equity’s return even if such return is positive and does not exceed the Maximum Gain. You can receive the full benefit of the Multiplier only if you hold your Securities to maturity.

¨ The Appreciation Potential of the Securities Is Limited by the Maximum Gain — The appreciation potential of the Securities is limited by the Maximum Gain of 34.00% to 38.00% per Security, resulting in a maximum payment at maturity of $13.40 to $13.80 per Security. The actual Maximum Gain and, therefore, the maximum payment at maturity, will be set on the Trade Date. Although the Multiplier provides for a return of three times any increase in the Final Price over the Initial Price, because the payment at maturity will be limited by the Maximum Gain, any increase in the Final Price over the Initial Price by more than 11.33% to 12.67% (one third the Maximum Gain, as determined on the Trade Date) of the Initial Price will not increase the return on the Securities. As a result, your return on the Securities may be less than the return on a hypothetical direct investment in the Underlying Equity.

¨ The Securities Are Subject to the Credit Risk of Citigroup Inc., and Any Actual or Anticipated Changes to Its Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Securities — Investors are dependent on the ability of Citigroup Inc., the Issuer’s parent company and the guarantor of any payments that become due on the Securities, to pay all amounts due on the Securities at maturity, and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. and to changes in the market’s view of Citigroup Inc.’s creditworthiness. The Securities are not guaranteed by any other entity. If Citigroup Inc. defaults on its obligations under the Securities, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. Any decline, or anticipated decline, in Citigroup Inc.’s credit ratings or increase, or anticipated increase, in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking Citigroup Inc.’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Securities.

¨ Volatility of the Underlying Equity — Historically, the price of the Underlying Equity has been volatile. From January 3, 2006 to November 4, 2011, the closing price of the Underlying Equity has been as low as $19.36 and as high as $72.91. The volatility of the Underlying Equity may result in your receiving a payment at maturity that is less than the $10.00 principal amount of each Security and possibly as low as $1.00 per Security, even if the Underlying Equity has appreciated over one or more periods during the term of the Securities before depreciating to below the Initial Price on the Final Valuation Date.

¨ Potential for a Lower Comparative Yield — The Securities do not pay any periodic interest. As a result, if the Final Price does not increase sufficiently from the Initial Price, taking into account the Multiplier, the effective yield on the Securities will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of the Issuer (whose payments would be guaranteed by Citigroup Inc.) of comparable maturity.

¨ The Market Price of the Securities Will Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors — Several factors will influence the value of the Securities in the secondary market and the price at which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup Global Markets”) may be willing to purchase or sell the Securities in the secondary market, including: the value and volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value or price) of the Underlying Equity; the dividend yields of the Underlying Equity, the stocks and other securities held by the Fund and the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index; spot and forward exchange rates of the Hong Kong dollar, in which securities that constitute the Underlying Index trade, relative to the U.S. dollar; intervention in the currency markets by the governments or monetary authorities of Hong Kong, China, the United States or other countries; interest and yield rate levels in the United States and Hong Kong,

FWP-4

and the differentials between such levels; volatility of the Hong Kong dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rates; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlying Equity, the Hong Kong securities market or equities markets generally and that may affect the Final Price; time remaining until the Securities mature; the occurrence of certain events affecting the Underlying Equity that may or may not require an adjustment to the closing price of the Underlying Equity; and any actual or anticipated changes in the credit ratings or credit spreads of Citigroup Inc. The price of the Underlying Equity may be, and has recently been, extremely volatile, and we can give you no assurance that this volatility will lessen. See “iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund —Historical Information” below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount of the Securities if you try to sell your Securities prior to maturity.

¨ The Payment at Maturity on Your Securities Is Not Based on the Price of the Underlying Equity at Any Time Other than the Final Valuation Date — The Final Price and the Underlying Return will be based solely on the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Final Valuation Date (subject to adjustments as described in the preliminary pricing supplement). Therefore, if the closing price of the Underlying Equity drops precipitously on the Final Valuation Date, the payment at maturity on your Securities that the Issuer pays you may be significantly less than it would otherwise have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the closing price of the Underlying Equity at a time prior to such drop. Although the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Maturity Date or at other times during the life of your Securities may be higher than the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Final Valuation Date, you will not benefit from the closing price of the Underlying Equity at any time other than the Final Valuation Date.

¨ Investing in the Securities Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Underlying Equity, the Securities Held by the Fund or the Stocks that Constitute the Underlying Index — Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying Equity, any securities held by the Fund or the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index. Investors in the Securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Underlying Equity, any securities held by the Fund or the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index. As of November 4, 2011, the Underlying Equity had a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 2.27%. If this dividend yield remained constant for the term of the Securities, then, assuming no reinvestment of dividends, you would be foregoing an aggregate yield of 4.54% (calculated on a simple interest basis) over the approximately 2-year term of the Securities. However, it is impossible to predict whether the dividend yield over the term of the Securities will be higher, lower or the same as this dividend yield or the dividend yield during any other period. You should carefully consider whether an investment that does not provide for dividends or periodic interest is appropriate for you. The payment scenarios described in this offering summary do not show any effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the Securities.

¨ The Price of the Underlying Equity Is Subject to Currency Exchange Risk — Because the price of the Underlying Equity is related to the U.S. dollar value of stocks composing the Underlying Index, holders of the Securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to the Hong Kong dollar, which is the currency in which such component securities trade. Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors specific to that country including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the applicable region. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the Hong Kong dollar strengthens or weakens relative to the U.S. dollar. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Hong Kong dollar, the closing price of the Underlying Equity will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the Securities may be reduced. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are existing and expected rates of inflation; existing and expected interest rate levels; the balance of payments; and the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in Hong Kong and the United States of America. All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of Hong Kong and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

The Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the U.S. dollar). From October 1983 to May 2005, Hong Kong maintained a fixed rate system which fixed the rate of exchange to HK$7.80 per US$1.00. The central element in the arrangements that gave effect to this link was an agreement between the Hong Kong Government (through the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, or HKMA) and the three Hong Kong banks that were authorized to issue Hong Kong currency in the form of banknotes. In May 2005, the HKMA broadened the link from the original rate of HK$7.80 per US$1.00 to a rate range of HK$7.75 to K$7.85 per US$1.00. Pursuant to two convertibility undertakings, the HKMA undertakes to buy U.S. dollars from licensed banks at the rate of HK$7.75 per US$1.00 if the market exchange rate for Hong Kong dollars is higher than such rate and to sell U.S. dollars at HK$7.85 per US$1.00 if the market exchange rate for Hong Kong dollars is lower than such rate. If the market exchange rate is between HK$7.75 and HK$7.85 per US$1.00, the HKMA may choose to conduct market operations with the aim of promoting the smooth functioning of the money market and the foreign exchange market. Although the market exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar continues to be influenced by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market, the rate has not deviated significantly from the level of HK$7.80 per US$1.00. No assurance can be given that the Hong Kong government will maintain the link at HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per US$1.00 or at all.

¨ The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with Chinese Equity Securities — The stocks composing the Underlying Index and that are generally tracked by the Fund have been issued by companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and/or owned by the Chinese government. Investments in securities linked to the value of emerging markets equity securities, such as the Underlying Equity, involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including the People’s Republic of China, and these risks include risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

FWP-5

The prices of securities in emerging markets, such as the stocks constituting the Underlying Index, may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, including the People’s Republic of China, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Countries with emerging markets, such as the People’s Republic of China, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, have restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. In addition, the Chinese economy may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from a risk in the Chinese government’s debt burden. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the Chinese economy may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, labor conditions and self-sufficiency.

¨ Adjustments to the Fund or to the Underlying Index Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities — The investment advisor to the Fund, BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Investment Advisor”), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Underlying Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, the Investment Advisor may add, delete or substitute the stocks and other securities held by the Fund. The Investment Advisor may change its investment strategy at anytime. Any of these actions could adversely affect the closing price of the Underlying Equity and, consequently, the value of the Securities. FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”) is responsible for calculating and maintaining the Underlying Index. FTSE may add, delete or substitute the stocks constituting the Underlying Index or make other methodological changes that could adversely affect the closing price of the Underlying Equity and, consequently, the value of the Securities.

¨ The Inclusion of Underwriting Fees and Projected Profit From Hedging in the Issue Price Is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices — Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets may be willing to purchase the Securities in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the Issue Price, since the Issue Price will include, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities, and, for brokerage accounts, underwriting fees paid with respect to the Securities. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our affiliates may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices may be lower than the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions at the time of the secondary market transaction. Our affiliates may realize a profit from the expected hedging activity even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the Securities or in any secondary market transaction. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by Citigroup Global Markets, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

¨ The iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund and the FTSE China 25 Index Are Different — The performance of the Underlying Equity may not exactly replicate the performance of the Underlying Index because the Underlying Equity will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying Index. It is also possible that the Underlying Equity may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the Underlying Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments held by the Fund, differences in trading hours between the Underlying Equity and the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index or due to other circumstances. Additionally, the performance of the Underlying Equity may diverge from the performance of the Underlying Index because the Fund will not necessarily hold all of the securities included in the Underlying Index and may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities not included in the Underlying Index and in derivative contracts.

¨ The Securities Will Not Be Listed on Any Securities Exchange, and Secondary Trading May Be Limited — The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities. Citigroup Global Markets may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the Securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Securities easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets is willing to transact. If, at any time, Citigroup Global Markets were not to make a market in the Securities, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the Securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity.

¨ The Anti-Dilution Adjustments Do Not Cover Every Event That Could Affect the Underlying Equity — Citigroup Global Markets, as Calculation Agent, will adjust the Initial Price for certain events affecting the Underlying Equity. However, the Calculation Agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the Underlying Equity. If an event occurs that does not require the Calculation Agent to adjust the amount payable at maturity, the market price of the Securities and the amount payable at maturity may be materially and adversely affected.

¨ The Calculation Agent, Which Is an Affiliate of Ours, Will Make Determinations With Respect to the Securities — Citigroup Global Markets, the Calculation Agent, is an affiliate of ours. As Calculation Agent, Citigroup Global Markets will determine the Initial Price, the Final Price and the Underlying Return and will calculate the amount of cash you will receive at maturity. Determinations made by Citigroup Global Markets in its capacity as Calculation Agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, the selection of successor shares in the event of a delisting of or suspension of trading in the Underlying Equity and the calculation of the Final Price in the event of a market disruption event or termination of the Fund, may adversely affect the payment to you at maturity.

¨ Hedging and Trading Activity by the Calculation Agent and Its Affiliates Could Potentially Affect the Value of the Securities — One or more of our affiliates expect to hedge our obligations under the Securities and will carry out hedging activities related to the Securities (and other instruments linked to the Underlying Equity or the Underlying Index), including trading in the Underlying Equity, the

FWP-6

stocks that constitute the Underlying Index and/or in instruments, such as options, swaps or futures, related to the Underlying Equity, the Underlying Index and/or the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index. Our affiliates also trade in the Underlying Equity, the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index and other financial instruments related to the Underlying Equity, the Underlying Index and the stocks that constitute the Underlying Index on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer, proprietary trading and other businesses. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the Trade Date could potentially increase the Initial Price and, therefore, could increase the price at which the Underlying Equity must close on the Final Valuation Date before an investor receives a payment at maturity that exceeds the Issue Price of the Securities. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the Securities, including on the Final Valuation Date, could adversely affect the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Final Valuation Date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity.

¨ We Have No Affiliation With the Fund, the Issuers of the Securities Held by the Fund or the Sponsor of the Underlying Index — We are not currently affiliated with the Fund or the sponsor of the Underlying Index and, to our knowledge, we are not currently affiliated with any issuers of the securities held by the Fund. We assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the Underlying Equity, the Underlying Index and the issuers of the securities held by the Fund contained in this offering summary. You should make your own investigation into the Fund, the Underlying Index and the issuers of the securities held by the Fund. We are not responsible for the Fund’s and the sponsor of the Underlying Index’s public disclosure of information or the public disclosure of the issuers of the securities held by the Fund, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.

¨ The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities Are Unclear — There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income 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 for the Securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Securities might be affected materially and adversely. As described above under “United States Federal Tax Considerations,” even if the treatment of the Securities as prepaid forward contracts is respected, the Securities may be treated as “constructive ownership transactions.” In that case, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain U.S. Holders would otherwise recognize on a sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities could be recharacterized as ordinary income, in which case an interest charge would apply with respect to the deemed tax liability that would have been incurred if such income had accrued at a constant rate over the period they held the Securities. 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, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the Securities should review carefully the section of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

¨ Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by Citigroup Global Markets, UBS Financial Services Inc. or Their Respective Affiliates — Citigroup Global Markets, UBS Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”) or their respective affiliates and agents may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Citigroup Global Markets, UBS or their respective affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Securities and the Underlying Equity.

Hypothetical Examples and Return Table of the Securities at Maturity

The following table and hypothetical examples are based on a principal amount per Security of $10.00, a Multiplier of 3.00 and a Buffer Amount of 10% and assume an Initial Price of $37.71 and a Maximum Gain of 36.00% (the midpoint of the range of 34.00% to 38.00%). The actual Initial Price and Maximum Gain will be determined on the Trade Date. Numbers in the table and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

| Final Price | Underlying Return* | Payment at Maturity | Securities Total Return at Maturity per $10.00 Issue Price 1 | Securities Total Return
at Maturity per $9.80 Issue Price 2 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $75.42 | 100.00% | $13.60 | 36.00% | 38.78% |

| $60.34 | 60.00% | $13.60 | 36.00% | 38.78% |
| $56.57 | 50.00% | $13.60 | 36.00% | 38.78% |

| $39.60 | 5.00% | $11.50 | 15.00% | 17.35% |
| $37.71 | 0.00% | $10.00 | 0.00% | 2.04% |
| $35.82 | -5.00% | $10.00 | 0.00% | 2.04% |
| $33.94 | -10.00% | $10.00 | 0.00% | 2.04% |

  • The Underlying Return excludes any cash dividend payments.

1 The “total return” is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the Payment at Maturity per $10.00 principal amount Security to the Issue Price of $10.00 per Security for all brokerage accounts.

2 The “total return” is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the Payment at Maturity per $10.00 principal amount Security to the Issue Price of $9.80 per Security, which is the Issue Price for investors in advisory accounts. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” on page FWP-15 of this offering summary.

Example 1 — The closing price of the Underlying Equity increases 5.00% from the Initial Price of $37.71 to a Final Price of $39.60, resulting in an Underlying Return of 5.00%. Because the Underlying Return of 5.00% multiplied by 3.00 is less than the Maximum Gain of 36.00%, the Issuer will pay a Payment at Maturity calculated as follows per $10.00 principal amount Security:

$10.00 + ($10.00 × Underlying Return × Multiplier)

$10.00 + ($10.00 x 5.00% x 3.00) = $10.00 + $1.50 = $11.50

The Payment at Maturity of $11.50 per $10.00 principal amount Security represents a return on the principal amount of 15.00%, which corresponds to a total return on the Securities of 15.00% for brokerage account holders and 17.35% for advisory account holders.

Example 2 — The closing price of the Underlying Equity increases 20.00% from the Initial Price of $37.71 to a Final Price of $45.25, resulting in an Underlying Return of 20.00%. Because the Underlying Return of 20.00% multiplied by 3.00 is greater than the Maximum Gain of 36.00%, the Issuer will pay a Payment at Maturity calculated as follows per $10.00 principal amount Security:

$10.00 + ($10.00 x Maximum Gain)

$10.00+ ($10.00 x 36.00%) = $10.00 + $3.60 = $13.60

FWP-8

The Payment at Maturity of $13.60 per $10.00 principal amount Security, which is the maximum payment on the Securities, represents a return on the principal amount equal to the Maximum Gain of 36.00%, which corresponds to a total return on the Securities of 36.00% for brokerage account holders and 38.78% for advisory account holders.

Example 3 – The closing price of the Underlying Equity decreases 5.00% from the Initial Price of $37.71 to a Final Price of $35.82, resulting in an Underlying Return of -5.00%. Because the Underlying Return is negative, but the Underlying Equity has not declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the Issuer will repay the principal amount of the Securities at maturity.

The Payment at Maturity of $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security represents a return on the principal amount of 0.00%, which corresponds to a total return on the Securities of 0.00% for brokerage account holders and 2.04% for advisory account holders.

Example 4 — The closing price of the Underlying Equity decreases 40.00% from the Initial Price of $37.71 to a Final Price of $22.63, resulting in an Underlying Return of -40.00%. Because the Underlying Return is negative and the Underlying Equity has declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the Issuer will pay a Payment at Maturity calculated as follows per $10.00 principal amount Security:

$10.00 + [$10.00 x (Underlying Return + 10%)]

$10.00 + [$10.00 x (-40.00% + 10%)] = $7.00

The Payment at Maturity of $7.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security represents a loss on the principal amount of 30%, which is equal to the Underlying Return of -40.00% plus the Buffer Amount and corresponds to a total loss on the Securities of 30.00% for brokerage account holders and 28.57% for advisory account holders.

If the Underlying Return is negative and the Underlying Equity has declined by a percentage more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, at maturity the Issuer will pay less than the full principal amount, resulting in a loss of principal to investors that is equal to the depreciation of the Underlying Equity from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date in excess of the Buffer Amount.

What Are the U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Investing in the Securities?

Each holder, by purchasing the Securities, agrees to treat them as prepaid forward contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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 preliminary pricing supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:

¨ A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the Securities prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.

¨ Upon sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities at maturity, a U.S. Holder should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Securities. Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rules under Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), any gain or loss recognized upon sale, exchange or settlement of a Security should be long-term capital gain or loss if the investor has held the Securities for more than one year.

Even if the treatment of the Securities as prepaid forward contracts is respected, the Securities may be treated as “constructive ownership transactions” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code. In that case, all or a portion of any long-term capital gain a U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize on a sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities would be recharacterized as ordinary income to the extent that such gain exceeded the “net underlying long-term capital gain” (which, although the matter is unclear, may equal the amount of long-term capital gain the U.S. Holder would have recognized if on the issue date it had invested the face amount of its Securities in the underlying shares and sold those shares for their fair market value on the date its Securities are sold, exchanged or retired). Any long-term capital gain recharacterized as ordinary income would be treated as accruing at a constant rate over the period the U.S. Holder held the Securities, and the U.S. Holder would be subject to an interest charge with respect to the deemed tax liability on the income treated as accruing in prior tax years. U.S. persons should read the section of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement called “United States Federal Tax Considerations – Potential Application of the Constructive Ownership Rules” for additional information and consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” regime.

Under current law, Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to amounts received on the sale, exchange or settlement of the Securities. Special rules apply to Non-U.S. Holders who are present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year or whose gain on the Securities is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

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; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of

FWP-9

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 described above. 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, possibly with retroactive effect.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the Securities should read the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement and consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, including possible alternative treatments, the potential application of the constructive ownership regime, the issues presented by the 2007 notice, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund

General

The iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund managed by iShares ® , Inc., a registered investment company. iShares ® consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund. BlackRock Fund Advisors is the investment adviser to the fund. The fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE China 25 Index. The fund’s investment objective and the underlying index may be changed without shareholder approval. Shares of the fund trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. under the ticker symbol FXI. The fund is registered as part of the iShares ® Trust, a registered investment company. The investment advisor to the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the fund. This means that the investment advisor invests in a representative sample of securities that, in the view of the investment advisor, has an investment profile similar to the FTSE China 25 Index. Thus, at any time, the iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund may not hold all of the securities in the FTSE China 25 Index. Funds that employ a representative sampling strategy may incur tracking error to a greater extent than a fund that seeks to replicate an index by holding all of the securities in the index. The iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities included in the FTSE China 25 Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The iShares ® FTSE China 25 Index Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in securities not included in the FTSE China 25 Index, derivative contracts and cash and cash equivalents.

Furthermore, we cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date hereof (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents described in the preceding paragraph) that would affect the closing price of the Underlying Equity (and therefore the closing price of the Underlying Equity at the time we price the Securities) have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning the Underlying Equity could affect the value received at maturity with respect to the Securities and therefore the trading prices of the Securities.

Neither Citigroup Inc. nor any of its subsidiaries makes any representation to you as to the performance of the Underlying Equity.

We and/or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with iShares ® . In the course of such business, we and/or our affiliates may acquire non-public information with respect to iShares ® , and neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports with respect to the Underlying Equity. The statements in the preceding two sentences are not intended to affect the rights of investors in the Securities under the securities laws.

FTSE China 25 Index

The FTSE China 25 Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated by FTSE, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors and includes companies that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “HKSE”).

General. The FTSE China 25 Index is quoted in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and currently is based on the 25 largest and most liquid Chinese stocks (called “H-shares” and “Red Chip” shares) based on full market-capitalization value, listed and trading on the HKSE. “H-shares” are securities of companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and nominated by the Chinese government for listing and trading on the HKSE. H-shares are quoted and traded in HKD and U.S. dollars. “Red Chip” shares are securities of Hong Kong-incorporated companies listed and traded on the HKSE, which are substantially owned directly or indirectly by the Chinese government and have the majority of their business interests in mainland China. “Red Chip” shares are quoted and traded in HKD and are available only to international investors and not to those from the People’s Republic of China.

Eligible Securities. Currently, only H-shares and Red Chip shares are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE China 25 Index. All classes of equity in issue are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE China 25 Index, subject to certain restrictions, however, each constituent must also be a constituent of the FTSE All-World Index. Companies whose business is that of holding equity and other investments, exchange-traded funds, and funds whose prices are a direct derivation of underlying holdings (e.g. mutual funds) are not eligible for inclusion. Securities must be sufficiently liquid to be traded, therefore the following criteria, among others, are used to ensure that illiquid securities are excluded:

  1. Price . FTSE must be satisfied that an accurate and reliable price exists for the purposes of determining the market value of a company. FTSE may exclude a security from the FTSE China 25 Index if it considers that an “accurate and reliable” price is not available. The FTSE China 25 Index uses the last trade prices from the relevant stock exchanges, when available.

  2. Liquidity . Securities in the FTSE China 25 Index will be reviewed annually for liquidity. Securities which do not turn over at least 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for ten of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review by FTSE will not be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE China 25 Index. An existing constituent failing to trade at least 2.0% of its shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for more than four of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review will be removed after close of the index calculation on the next trading day following the third Friday in January, April, July and October. Any period when a share is suspended will be excluded from the calculation.

  3. New Issues . New issues become eligible for inclusion in the FTSE China 25 Index at the next quarterly review of constituents, provided they have a minimum trading record of at least 20 trading days prior to the date of such review and turnover of a minimum of 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month each month, except in certain circumstances.

The FTSE China 25 Index, like other indices of FTSE, is governed by an independent advisory committee, the FTSE Asia Pacific Regional Committee, that ensures that the FTSE China 25 Index is operated in accordance with its published ground rules, and that the rules remain relevant to the FTSE China 25 Index. The FTSE Asia Pacific Regional Committee is responsible for undertaking the review of the FTSE China 25 Index and for approving changes of constituents.

Computation of the FTSE China 25 Index. The FTSE China 25 Index is calculated using the free float index calculation methodology of the FTSE Group. The FTSE China 25 Index is calculated using the following algorithm:

where “p” is the latest trade price of the component security “n”, “e” is the exchange rate required to convert the security’s home currency into the FTSE China 25 Index’s base currency, “s” is the number of shares of the security in issue, “f” is the free float factor published by FTSE, applicable to such security, to be applied to the security to allow amendments to its weighting, “c” is the capping factor published by FTSE at the most recent quarterly review of the FTSE China 25 Index, and “d” is the divisor, a figure that represents the total issued share capital of the FTSE China 25 Index at the base date, which may be adjusted to allow for changes in the issued share capital of individual securities without distorting the FTSE China 25 Index.

FWP-11

The FTSE China 25 Index uses actual trade prices for securities with local stock exchange quotations and Reuters real-time spot currency rates for its calculations. Under this methodology, FTSE excludes from free floating shares: (i) trade investments in a FTSE China 25 Index constituent company by either another FTSE China 25 Index constituent company or a non-constituent company or entity; (ii) significant long-term holdings by founders, directors and/or their families; (iii) employee share schemes (if restricted); (iv) government holdings; (v) foreign ownership limits; and (vi) portfolio investments subject to lock-in clauses (for the duration of the clause). Free float restrictions are calculated using available published information. The initial weighting of a FTSE China 25 Index constituent stock is applied in bands, as follows:

| Free float less than or equal to 15% | Ineligible for inclusion in the FTSE China 25 Index, unless free float is also greater than 5% and the full market capitalization is greater than US$2.5 billion (or local currency
equivalent), in which case actual free float is used. |
| --- | --- |
| Free float greater than 15% but less than or equal to 20% | 20% |
| Free float greater than 20% but less than or equal to 30% | 30% |
| Free float greater than 30% but less than or equal to 40% | 40% |
| Free float greater than 40% but less than or equal to 50% | 50% |
| Free float greater than 50% but less than or equal to 75% | 75% |
| Free float greater than 75% | 100% |

These bands are narrow at the lower end, to ensure that there is sufficient sensitivity in order to maintain accurate representation, and broader at the higher end, in order to ensure that the weightings of larger companies do not fluctuate absent a significant corporate event.

Following the application of an initial free float restriction, a FTSE China 25 Index constituent stock’s free float will only be changed if its actual free float is more than five percentage points above the minimum or five percentage points below the maximum of an adjacent band. This five percentage point threshold does not apply if the initial free float is less than 15%. Foreign ownership limits, if any, are applied after calculating the actual free float restriction, but before applying the bands shown above. If the foreign ownership limit is more restrictive than the free float restriction, the precise foreign ownership limit is applied. If the foreign ownership limit is less restrictive or equal to the free float restriction, the free float restriction is applied, subject to the bands shown above.

The FTSE China 25 Index is periodically reviewed for changes in free float. These reviews coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken of the FTSE China 25 Index. Implementation of any changes takes place after the close of the index calculation on the third Friday in January, April, July and October. A stock’s free float is also reviewed and adjusted if necessary following certain corporate events. If the corporate event includes a corporate action which affects the FTSE China 25 Index, any change in free float is implemented at the same time as the corporate action. If there is no corporate action, the change in free float is applied as soon as practicable after the corporate event.

Additional Considerations

As more fully described in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, if no closing price is available or there is a market disruption event on the Final Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent may determine the closing price in accordance with the procedures set forth in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement or postpone the Final Valuation Date for up to three consecutive trading days. In addition, if the Underlying Equity is delisted or suspended from trading, the Calculation Agent may determine the closing price by reference to a successor or substitute security. If the Underlying Equity is liquidated or otherwise terminated, the Calculation Agent may determine the closing price by reference to the closing value of the Underlying Index or any successor index. You should refer to the section “Description of the Securities—Delisting or Suspension of Trading in, or Termination of, the Fund; Termination of the Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement for more information.

In case of default in payment at maturity of the Securities, the Securities will bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities, from and after the Maturity Date through the date when payment of the unpaid amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rate of % per annum on the unpaid amount due.
