Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. August 18, 2021 Medium-Term Senior Notes, Series N Pricing Supplement No. 2021-USNCH8749 Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) Registration Statement Nos. 333-255302 and 333-255302-03

Dual Digital Securities Linked to the S&P 500 ® Index and the 10-Year Constant Maturity Swap Rate Due November 24, 2021

▪ The securities offered by this pricing supplement are unsecured debt securities issued by Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and guaranteed by Citigroup Inc. Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not guarantee full repayment of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities offer a payment at maturity that may be greater than or less than the stated principal amount, depending on the performance of each of the S&P 500 Index (“ SPX ”) and the 10-year constant maturity swap rate (“ CMS10 ”) (each, an “ underlying ”) from its initial underlying value to its final underlying value.

▪ The securities offer the opportunity to receive one of two possible fixed (digital) payments at maturity. You will receive the upper digital payout specified below at maturity only if each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (1) the final underlying value of SPX is less than its final barrier value (meaning that the closing value of SPX has declined by more than 5% from its initial underlying value as of the valuation date) and (2) the final underlying value of CMS10 is greater than or equal to its final barrier value (meaning that CMS10 has increased by at least 0.32% (in absolute terms) from its initial underlying value as of the valuation date). If either of those conditions is not satisfied, you will receive the lower digital payout specified below at maturity. The lower digital payout is 76.917% less than the stated principal amount of the securities, and therefore would represent a significant loss on your investment in the securities.

▪ The securities offer the opportunity for a positive return at maturity only if each underlying moves by a significant amount in a specific direction from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value. There is a high likelihood that one or both of these conditions will not be met, and as a result that you will incur a significant loss on your investment in the securities. The securities are designed for investors who are willing and able to accept a high likelihood of a significant loss at maturity in exchange for the potential offered by the securities to receive the positive return represented by the upper digital payout if each of the upper digital payout conditions is met.

▪ 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 securities if we and Citigroup Inc. default on our obligations. All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and Citigroup Inc.

Additional Information

The terms of the securities 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, the accompanying product supplement contains important information about how the closing value of SPX will be determined and about adjustments that may be made to the terms of the securities upon the occurrence of market disruption events and other specified events with respect to either underlying. The accompanying underlying supplement contains information about SPX that is 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 in deciding whether to invest in the securities. Certain terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement are defined in the accompanying product supplement.

Hypothetical Examples

The examples below illustrate how to determine the payment at maturity on the securities, assuming the various hypothetical final underlying values of each underlying 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 each underlying.

The examples below are based on the following hypothetical values and do not reflect the actual initial underlying values or final barrier values of the underlyings. For the actual initial underlying value and final barrier 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 and final barrier value of each underlying, and not the hypothetical values indicated below. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

Underlying Hypothetical initial underlying value Hypothetical final barrier value
SPX 100 95 (95% of its initial underlying value)
CMS10 1.00% 1.32% (its initial underlying value plus 0.32%)

Example 1—Upside Scenario. The final underlying value of SPX is 85.00 and the final underlying value of CMS10 is 1.50%. In this example, the final underlying value of SPX is less than its final barrier value, and the final underlying value of CMS10 is greater than its final barrier value, and as a result each of the upper digital payout conditions would be satisfied. In this scenario, you would receive a payment at maturity per security equal to the upper digital payout of $13,051.34.

Example 2—Downside Scenario A. The final underlying value of SPX is 85.00 and the final underlying value of CMS10 is 1.10%. In this example, the final underlying value of SPX is less than its final barrier value, but the final underlying value of CMS10 is not greater than its final barrier value, and as a result one of the upper digital payout conditions would not be satisfied. In this scenario, you would receive a payment at maturity per security equal to the lower digital payout of $230.83, representing a loss of 76.917% on your investment in the securities.

Example 3—Downside Scenario B. The final underlying value of SPX is 105.00 and the final underlying value of CMS10 is 1.50%. In this example, the final underlying value of CMS10 is greater than its final barrier value, but the final underlying value of SPX is not less than its final barrier value, and as a result one of the upper digital payout conditions would not be satisfied. In this scenario, you would receive a payment at maturity per security equal to the lower digital payout of $230.83, representing a loss of 76.917% on your investment in the securities.

Example 4—Downside Scenario C. The final underlying value of SPX is 95.00 and the final underlying value of CMS10 is 0.90%. In this example, the final underlying value of SPX is not less than its final barrier value, and the final underlying value of CMS10 is not greater than its final barrier value, and as a result both of the upper digital payout conditions would not be satisfied. In this scenario, you would receive a payment at maturity per security equal to the lower digital payout of $230.83, representing a loss of 76.917% on your investment in the securities.

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 the underlyings. 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.

§ There is a high likelihood that you will incur a significant loss on your investment in the securities. You will receive a positive return on your investment in the securities only if each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (1) the final underlying value of SPX is less than its final barrier value and (2) the final underlying value of CMS10 is greater than or equal to its final barrier value. If either of those conditions is not satisfied, you will receive a payment at maturity representing a 76.917% loss on your investment in the securities. These conditions will be satisfied only if each underlying moves by a significant amount in a specific direction from the initial underlying value to the final underlying value. There is a high likelihood that one or both of these conditions will not be met, and as a result that you will incur a significant loss on your investment in the securities.

§ The initial underlying value of CMS10 (and, in turn, the final barrier value of CMS10) was determined at the discretion of the calculation agent based on a forward value of CMS10. The initial underlying value of CMS10 is an intraday value of CMS10 on the pricing date, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion corresponding to the forward value of CMS10 whose tenor is the valuation date observed at the time the terms of the securities are set. The forward value of CMS10 is generally higher than its current (or spot) value. As a result, the initial underlying value of CMS10 is likely to be higher than the spot CMS10 rate on the pricing date. This means that, in order to satisfy the upper digital payout condition relating to CMS10, the CMS10 rate likely must increase from the CMS10 spot rate on the pricing date by more than the percentage by which it must increase from the initial underlying value of CMS10. In addition, although the calculation agent determined the initial underlying value of CMS10 in good faith, the discretion exercised by the calculation agent in determining the initial underlying value could have an impact (positive or negative) on the value of your securities. The calculation agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any actions that might affect the value of your securities, including the determination of the initial underlying value of CMS10.

§ 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.

§ You will not receive dividends or have any other rights with respect to SPX. You will not receive any dividends with respect to SPX. In addition, you will not have voting rights or any other rights with respect to SPX or the stocks included in SPX.

§ Your payment at maturity depends on the closing values of the underlyings on a single day. Because your payment at maturity depends on the closing values of the underlyings solely on the valuation date, you are subject to the risk that the closing values of the underlyings on that day may result in one or both of the upper digital payout conditions not being satisfied, when those conditions would have been satisfied on another day near the valuation date.

§ 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 the closing values of the underlyings, the correlation between the closing values of the underlyings, the dividend yield on SPX 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, the dividend yield on SPX, 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 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 the investment view represented by the securities. The fact that we are offering the securities does not mean that we believe that investing in the securities 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 in the securities. 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 values of the underlyings may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities. We have hedged our obligations under the securities through CGMI or other of our affiliates, who have taken positions 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 SPX 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 the underlyings, Citibank, N.A., 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 sponsor of an underlying may at any time make methodological changes or other changes in the manner in which it operates that could affect the value of the underlying. We are not affiliated with the underlying sponsor and, accordingly, we have no control over any changes such sponsor may make. Such changes could adversely affect the performance of the underlying and the value of and your return on the securities.

§ Uncertainty about the future of LIBOR may affect CMS10 in a way that adversely affects the return on and the value of the securities. A CMS rate is a market rate for the fixed leg of a fixed-for-floating interest rate swap, where the floating leg is based on 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. As a result, CMS10 is significantly influenced by 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and expectations about future levels of 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. It is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after June 30, 2023 or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. It is also impossible to predict the impact of any LIBOR-related developments on the method of calculation or the values of CMS10. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, including for purposes of the interest rate swaps underlying CMS10, and it is impossible to predict the effect of any such alternatives on the value of securities, such as the securities, that are linked to CMS rates. Any changes to 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR or the calculation of CMS10, and any uncertainty at what these changes may be, may affect CMS10 in a way that adversely affects your return on and value of the securities.

§ The closing value of CMS10 may be calculated based on dealer quotations or by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. If, on the valuation date, CMS10 cannot be determined by reference to Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page), then the closing value of CMS10 on that day will be determined on the basis of the mid-market, semi-annual CMS10 quotations provided to the calculation agent by five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day. If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the closing value of CMS10 will be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The closing value of CMS10 determined in this manner and used in the determination of the payment at maturity on the securities may be different from the CMS10 that would have been published on the Reuters page “ICESWAP1” and may be different from other published rates, or other estimated rates, of CMS10.

§ The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in th e securities ar e 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 discussed herein. 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. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.

If you are a non-U.S. investor, you should review the discussion of withholding tax issues in “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders” below.

You should read carefully the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations” and “Risk Factors Relating to the Securities” in the accompanying product supplement and “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement. You should also consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Additional Terms of the Securities

The term “scheduled trading day” with respect to CMS10 means a U.S. government securities business day. A U.S. government securities business day is a ny day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s U.S. holiday schedule recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

The calculation agent for the securities is Citibank, N.A.

Determination of CMS10

CMS10 represents, at any time, a market rate for the fixed leg of a conventional fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap entered into at that time with a 10-year term. A conventional fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange payment streams in U.S. dollars over a given period of time, where one party pays a fixed rate (the “fixed leg”) and the other party pays a floating rate that is reset periodically based on 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR (the “floating leg”). 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR is a measure of the rate at which banks lend U.S. dollars to each other for a period of 3 months in the London interbank market.

For purposes of the securities, the calculation agent will determine the “closing value” of CMS10 on any date by reference to the rate for U.S. dollar interest rate swaps with a 10-year maturity appearing on Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) as of 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day.

If, however, a rate for CMS10 is not published on Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page as determined by the calculation agent) on any date, then the calculation agent will request mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations from the principal New York City office of five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market (the “reference banks”) at approximately 11:00 am, New York City time, on that day. For this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. dollar interest rate swap transaction with a 10-year maturity, commencing on that day and in a representative amount with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to U.S. dollar LIBOR with a designated maturity of three months. If at least three quotations are provided, the closing value of CMS10 for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the closing value of CMS10 will be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.

CMS10 is calculated by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited based on tradable quotes for U.S. dollar fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps with a 10-year maturity that are sourced from electronic trading venues.

The provisions set forth in this section “—Determination of CMS10” are subject to the discussion in “Discontinuance of CMS10” below.

Discontinuance of CMS10

If the calculation and publication of CMS10 is permanently canceled, then the calculation agent may identify an alternative rate that it determines, in its sole discretion, represents the same or a substantially similar measure or benchmark as CMS10, and the calculation agent may deem that rate (the “successor CMS10”) to be CMS10 for purposes of the securities. Upon the selection of any successor CMS10 by the calculation agent pursuant to this paragraph, references in this pricing supplement to the original CMS10 will no longer be deemed to refer to the original CMS10 and will be deemed instead to refer to that successor CMS10 for all purposes. In such event, the calculation agent will make such adjustments, if any, to any CMS10 rate that is used for purposes of the securities as it determines are appropriate in the circumstances. Upon any selection by the calculation agent of a successor CMS10, the calculation agent will cause notice to be furnished to us and the trustee.

If the calculation and publication of CMS10 is permanently canceled and no successor CMS10 is chosen as described above, then the calculation agent will calculate the closing value of CMS10 on each subsequent date of determination in good faith and using its reasonable judgment. Such value, as calculated by the calculation agent, will be the relevant closing value for CMS10 for all purposes.

Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, the cancellation of CMS10 may adversely affect the value of and return on the securities.

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, subject to the discussion below under “Risk of Recharacterization of Fixed Minimum Payment,” a security should be treated as an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By purchasing a security, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to this treatment. There is uncertainty regarding this treatment, and the IRS or a court might not agree with it.

Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result under current law:

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

· Upon a sale or exchange of a security (including retirement at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the security. Such gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss.

Please see the discussion under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders--Securities Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts” in the accompanying product supplement for further discussion about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the securities. An alternative characterization of the securities could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, 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. You should consult your tax adviser regarding possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.

Non-U.S. Holders . Subject to the discussions below and in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the securities, you generally should not be subject to U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of any amount paid to you with respect to the securities, provided that (i) income in respect of the securities is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) you comply with the applicable certification requirements.

As discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Code 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 (“U.S. Underlying Equities”) or indices that include U.S. Underlying Equities. Section 871(m) generally applies to instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more U.S. Underlying Equities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. However, the regulations, as modified by an 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 U.S. Underlying Equity 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.

Please review the discussion below under “Risk of Recharacterization of Fixed Minimum Payment” regarding potential withholding tax consequences of the fixed minimum payment on the securities.

If withholding tax applies to the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

Risk of Recharacterization of Fixed Minimum Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that, because a holder will be entitled to receive an amount at maturity that is at least equal to the lower digital payout, a holder could be treated as receiving a separate payment of ordinary income equal to the lower digital payout (the “fixed minimum payment”) regardless of whether the holder receives the upper digital payout or the lower digital payout, in which case that amount would not be part of the amount realized on the security for purposes of calculating gain or loss as described above. For a U.S. Holder, that treatment could mean the recognition of ordinary income even if the U.S. Holder has an overall loss on the securities. For a Non-U.S. Holder, that treatment could result in the fixed minimum payment being subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate). You should consult your tax adviser regarding the risk that the fixed minimum payment is treated as a separate payment of ordinary income.

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

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

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

CGMI, an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. and the underwriter of the sale of the securities, is acting as principal.

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 1.5 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 1.5-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 and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above.
