Index LeAding StockmarkEt Return Securities (“Index LASERS SM ”) Based on the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index Due February , 2018

§ The Index LASERS SM offered by this pricing supplement are unsecured senior debt securities issued by Citigroup Inc. Unlike conventional debt securities, the Index LASERS SM do not pay interest and do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the Index LASERS SM offer a payment at maturity that may be greater than or less than the stated principal amount, depending on the performance of the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index (the “index”) from its initial index level to its final index level.

§ The Index LASERS SM offer modified exposure to the performance of the index, with (i) a contingent minimum return at maturity of 30% to 32% (to be determined on the pricing date) so long as the final index level is greater than 65% of the initial index level (the “trigger level”), (ii) 1-to-1 participation in any appreciation of the index in excess of that contingent minimum return at maturity and (iii) full downside exposure to the index if the final index level is less than or equal to the trigger level. If the final index level is less than or equal to the trigger level, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the Index LASERS SM for every 1% that the final index level is less than the initial index level. You will not receive any dividends paid on the stocks included in the index.

§ In order to obtain the modified exposure to the index that the Index LASERS SM provide, investors must be willing to accept (i) an investment that may have limited or no liquidity and (ii) the risk of not receiving any amount due under the Index LASERS SM if we default on our obligations.

Additional Information

The terms of the Index LASERS SM are set forth in the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, as supplemented by this pricing supplement. The accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus contain important disclosures that are not repeated in this pricing supplement. For example, certain events may occur that could affect your payment at maturity. These events and their consequences are described in the accompanying product supplement in the sections “Description of the Securities—Certain Additional Terms for Securities Linked to an Index—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date” and “—Discontinuance or Material Modification of an Index , ” and not in this pricing supplement. The accompanying underlying supplement contains important disclosures regarding the index that are not repeated in this pricing supplement. It is important that you read the accompanying product supplement , underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus together with this pricing supplement before deciding whether to invest in the Index LASERS SM . Certain terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement are defined in the accompanying product supplement.

Hypothetical Examples

The diagram below illustrates your payment at maturity for a range of hypothetical percentage changes from the initial index level to the final index level . The diagram and examples below are based on a hypothetical contingent minimum return amount of $300 per Index LASERS SM (30% of the stated principal amount).

Investors in the Index LASERS SM will not receive any dividends on the stocks included in the index. The diagram and examples below do not show any effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the Index LASERS SM . See “Summary Risk Factors—Investing in the Index LASERS SM is not equivalent to investing in the index or the stocks that constitute the index” below.

Your actual payment at maturity per Index LASERS SM will depend on the actual contingent minimum return amount, which will be determined on the pricing date, and the actual final index level. The examples below are intended to illustrate how your payment at maturity will depend on whether the final index level is greater than or less than the trigger level and by how much. The examples are based on the initial index level of 2,630.05 and the trigger level of 1,709.5325 .

February 2013 PS-2

Citigroup Inc.
Index LeAding StockmarkEt Return Securities (“Index LASERS SM ”) Based on the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index Due February , 2018

Example 1—Upside Scenario A . The hypothetical final index level is 3,156.06 (a 20% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than the trigger level and greater than the initial index level by less than the hypothetical contingent minimum return of 30% .

Payment at maturity per Index LASERS SM	$1,000 + the greater of (i) the hypothetical contingent minimum return amount and (ii) $1,000 × the index percent change
=	$1,000 + the greater of (i) $300 and (ii) $1,000 × 20%
=	$1,000 + $300
=	$1,300

Because the hypothetical final index level is greater than the trigger level and the hypothetical contingent minimum return is greater than the index percent change, your total return on the Index LASERS SM at maturity would equal the hypothetical contingent minimum return of 30%.

Example 2—Upside Scenario B . The hypothetical final index level is 3,682.07 (a 40% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than the trigger level and greater than the initial index level by more than the hypothetical contingent minimum return of 30%.

Payment at maturity per Index LASERS SM	$1,000 + the greater of (i) the hypothetical contingent minimum return amount and (ii) $1,000 × the index percent change
=	$1,000 + the greater of (i) $300 and (ii) $1,000 × 40%
=	$1,000 + $4 00
=	$1,400

Because the hypothetical final index level is greater than the trigger level and the index percent change is greater than the hypothetical contingent minimum return, your total return on the Index LASERS SM at maturity in this scenario would reflect 1-to-1 exposure to the positive performance of the index.

Example 3—Upside Scenario C. The hypothetical final index level is 1,841.035 (a 30% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the initial index level but greater than the trigger level.

Payment at maturity per Index LASERS SM	$1,000 + the greater of (i) the hypothetical contingent minimum return amount and (ii) $1,000 × the index percent change
=	$1,000 + the greater of (i) $300 and (ii) $1,000 × –30%
=	$1,000 + $300
=	$1,300

Even though the hypothetical final index level is less than the initial index level, the fact that it is greater than the trigger level results in a total return at maturity of the Index LASERS SM equal to the hypothetical contingent minimum return of 30% .

Example 4—Downside Scenario. The hypothetical final index level is 920.5175 (a 65% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the trigger level.

Payment at maturity per Index LASERS SM	$1,000 × the index performance factor
=	$1,000 × 0.35
=	$350

Because the hypothetical final index level is less than the trigger level, your payment at maturity in this scenario would reflect 1-to-1 exposure to the negative performance of the index.

Summary Risk Factors

An investment in the Index LASERS SM is significantly riskier than an investment in conventional debt securities. The Index LASERS SM are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in our conventional debt securities, including the risk that we may default on our obligations under the Index LASERS SM , and are also subject to risks associated with the index. Accordingly, the Index LASERS SM are suitable only for investors who are capable of understanding the complexities and risks of the Index LASERS SM . You should consult your own financial, tax and legal advisers as to the risks of an investment in the Index LASERS SM and the suitability of the Index LASERS SM in light of your particular circumstances.

February 2013 PS-3

Citigroup Inc.
Index LeAding StockmarkEt Return Securities (“Index LASERS SM ”) Based on the EURO STOXX 50 ® Index Due February , 2018

The following is a summary of certain key risk factors for investors in the Index LASERS SM . You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of risks relating to an investment in the Index LASERS SM contained in the section “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” beginning on page EA-6 in the accompanying product supplement . You should also carefully read the risk factors included in the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which describe risks relating to our business more generally.

■ You may lose some or all of your investment. Unlike conventional debt securities, the Index LASERS SM do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, your payment at maturity will depend on the performance of the index. If the final index level is less than or equal to the trigger level, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the Index LASERS SM for every 1% by which the final index level is less than the initial index level. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Index LASERS SM , and you may lose your entire initial investment in the securities.

■ The Index LASERS SM do not pay interest. Unlike conventional debt securities, the Index LASERS SM do not pay interest or any other amounts prior to maturity. You should not invest in the Index LASERS SM if you seek current income during the term of the Index LASERS SM .

■ The trigger feature of the Index LASERS SM exposes you to particular risks. If the final index level is less than or equal to the trigger level, the contingent minimum return offered by the Index LASERS SM will not apply and you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the Index LASERS SM for every 1% by which the final index level is less than the initial index level. Although you will receive a minimum positive return if the index depreciates by less than 35% from its initial index level to its final index level, the Index LASERS SM offer no protection at all if the index depreciates by 35% or more. As a result, you may lose your entire investment in the Index LASERS SM .

■ The Index LASERS SM are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc. If we default on our obligations under the Index LASERS SM , you may not receive any payments that become due under the Index LASERS SM .

■ The initial index level was set on the strike date and may exceed the closing level of the index on the pricing date. If the closing level of the index on the pricing date is less than it was on the strike date, the terms of the securities will be less favorable to you than they would be if the initial index level were equal to the closing level of the index on the pricing date. In general, the higher the initial index level, the lower your return on the securities will be. If the closing level of the index on the pricing date is less than it was on the strike date, the terms of the securities may be less favorable to you than the terms of alternative investments that may be available to you that offer a similar payout as the securities but with an initial index level that is set on the pricing date.

■ The Index LASERS SM will not be listed on a securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity. The Index LASERS SM will not be listed on any securities exchange. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the Index LASERS SM .

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. intends to make a secondary market in relation to the Index LASERS SM and to provide an indicative bid price on a daily basis. Any indicative bid prices provided by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. shall be determined in Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s sole discretion, taking into account prevailing market conditions, and shall not be a representation by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. that any instrument can be purchased or sold at such prices (or at all).

Notwithstanding the above, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may suspend or terminate making a market and providing indicative bid prices without notice, at any time and for any reason. Consequently, there may be no market for the Index LASERS SM and investors should not assume that such a market will exist. Accordingly, an investor must be prepared to hold the Index LASERS SM until the maturity date. Where a market does exist, to the extent that an investor wants to sell the Index LASERS SM , the price may, or may not, be at a discount from the stated principal amount.

■ 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 other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may be willing to purchase the Index LASERS SM in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the issue price because the issue price includes, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, underwriting fees and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Index LASERS SM . 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. Any secondary market price is also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. Any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

■ Your payment at maturity depends on the closing level of the index on a single day. Because your payment at maturity depends on the closing level of the index solely on the valuation date, you are subject to the risk that the closing level on that day may be lower, and possibly significantly lower, than on one or more other dates during the term of the Index LASERS SM . If you had invested directly in the index or in another instrument linked to the index that you could sell for full value at a time selected by you, or if the payment at maturity were based on an average of closing levels of the index, you might have achieved better returns.

■ The value of the Index LASERS SM prior to maturity will fluctuate based on many unpredictable factors. The value of the Index LASERS SM prior to maturity will fluctuate based on the level and volatility of the index and a number of other factors, including the price and volatility of the stocks that constitute the index, dividend yields on the stocks that constitute the index, interest rates generally, the time remaining to maturity and our creditworthiness. You should understand that the value of the Index LASERS SM at any time prior to maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount.

■ Investing in the Index LASERS SM is not equivalent to investing in the index or the stocks that constitute the index. You will not have voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the index. As of February 22, 2013, the average dividend yield of the index was 4.39% per year. While it is impossible to know the future dividend yield of the index, if this average dividend yield were to remain constant for the term of the Index LASERS SM , you would be forgoing an aggregate yield of 21.95% (assuming no reinvestment of dividends) by investing in the Index LASERS SM instead of investing directly in the stocks that constitute the index or in another investment linked to the index that provides for a pass-through of dividends. The payment scenarios described in this pricing supplement do not show any effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the Index LASERS SM .

■ The index is subject to risks associated with European markets. The stocks that constitute the index trade on European markets. The European economy has recently been adversely affected by the sovereign debt crises affecting Greece and other nations, and significant uncertainty about the impact of the Euro as a common currency remains. In addition, non-U.S. markets tend to be more volatile than U.S. markets. A continued worsening of the European economy will adversely affect the value of and return on the Index LASERS SM . Furthermore, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and non-U.S. companies are generally subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules that are different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

■ The index performance will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S . dollar. The index is composed of stocks traded in Euro, the value of which may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation relative to the U.S. dollar. However, the performance of the index and the value of your Index LASERS SM will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations. If the Euro appreciates relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Index LASERS SM , your return on the Index LASERS SM will underperform an alternative investment that offers exposure to that appreciation in addition to the change in the level of the index.

■ Our offering of the Index LASERS SM is not a recommendation of the index. The fact that we are offering the Index LASERS SM does not mean that we believe that investing in an instrument linked to the index 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 stocks that constitute the index or in instruments related to the index or the stocks that constitute the index, and may publish research or express opinions, that in each case are inconsistent with an investment linked to the index. These and other activities of our affiliates may adversely affect the level of the index and may have a negative impact on your interests as a holder of the Index LASERS SM .

■ The level of the index may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities. We expect to hedge our obligations under the Index LASERS SM through affiliated or unaffiliated counterparties, who may take positions directly in the stocks that constitute the index or in instruments related to the index. Our affiliates also trade the stocks that constitute the index and other financial instruments related to the index on a regular basis (taking long or short positions or both), for their accounts, for other accounts under their management or to facilitate transactions on behalf of customers. These activities could affect the level of the index in a way that negatively affects the value of the Index LASERS SM . They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Index LASERS SM declines.

■ We may have economic interests that are adverse to yours as a result of our affiliates’ business activities. Our affiliates may currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuers of the stocks that constitute the index, including extending loans to, making equity investments in or providing advisory services to such issuers. In the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information about those issuers, which we will not disclose to you. Moreover, if any of our affiliates becomes a creditor of any such issuer, they may exercise any remedies against that issuer that are available to them without regard to your interests.

■ Adjustments to the index may affect the value of the Index LASERS SM . STOXX Limited (the “index publisher”) may add, delete or substitute the stocks that constitute the index or make other methodological changes that could affect the level of the index. The index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the index at any time without regard to your interests as holders of the Index LASERS SM .

■ The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the Index LASERS SM . If certain events occur, such as market disruption events or the discontinuance of the index, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as calculation agent, will be required to make certain judgments that could significantly affect your payment at maturity. In making these judgments, the calculation agent’s interests as an affiliate of ours could be adverse to your interests as a holder of the Index LASERS SM .

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

United States Federal Tax Considerations

You should read carefully the discussion under "United States Federal Tax Considerations" and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “Summary Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement.

In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is based on current market conditions, a security should be treated as a prepaid forward contract for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By purchasing the securities, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to this treatment. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the IRS or a court might not agree with it.

Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:

· You should not recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange.

· Upon a sale or exchange of the securities, or retirement of the securities at maturity, you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the securities for more than one year.

Under current law, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the securities, you generally should not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of amounts paid to you with respect to the securities provided that (i) income in respect of the securities is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements.

In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; whether short-term instruments should be subject to any such accrual regime; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments and the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect.

You should read the section entitled "United States Federal Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement. The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the securities and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
