1.5% Fixed Coupon
Principal Protected Notes
Linked to the Consumer Price Index Due
2014
This offering summary contains a summary of the terms and conditions of the 1.5 % Fixed Coupon Principal Protected Notes. We encourage you to read the
pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus related to this offering for important additional information. Capitalized terms used in this summary are defined in the section Preliminary Terms below.
Overview of the Notes
The 1.5% Fixed Coupon Principal Protected Notes Linked to
the Consumer Price Index (the Notes) are investments linked to the non-seasonally adjusted U.S. City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the Consumer Price Index or CPI), offered by
Citigroup Funding Inc. and have a maturity of approximately five years. The Notes are 100% principal protected if held to maturity and will pay a coupon annually on February , 2010;
February , 2011; February , 2012; February , 2013; and February , 2014 at a rate equal to 1.5% per annum.
At maturity, in addition to your final Coupon Amount, you will receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of your initial investment in the Notes plus an Index Return Amount, if
any, which may be positive or zero. The Index Return Amount will equal the product of (1) the principal amount of Notes held at maturity, (2) the Index Percentage Change, and (3) the Participation Rate. The Index Percentage Change
will equal the percentage change of the level of the CPI, from the Starting Index Level of the CPI to the Ending Index Level of the CPI. The Participation Rate is expected to be approximately 250% to 300% (to be determined on the Pricing Date).
This investment allows investors to participate in the growth potential of the level of the CPI without substantial risk to their initial investment. Because the
Notes are principal protected if held to maturity, the payment you receive at maturity will not be less than the amount of your initial investment in the Notes, even though the Maturity Payment payable to you is dependent on the level of the CPI.
Some key characteristics of the Notes include:
n
|
|
Principal Protection.
Your initial investment is 100% principal protected only if you
hold your Notes to maturity. Notes sold in the secondary market prior to maturity are not principal protected. If you hold your Notes to maturity, you will receive a Maturity Payment in cash equal to your initial investment plus the Index Return
Amount.
|
n
|
|
Periodic Income.
A Coupon Amount is payable on February , 2010;
February , 2011; February , 2012; February , 2013; and February , 2014 (each a Coupon Payment Date). The Coupon Amount payable on each Coupon
Payment Date will equal $15.00 per Note (1.5% of $1,000 principal amount per Note).
|
The total return on the Notes may be lower than that of a
conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity and can be as little as 7.5% for the approximately five year term of the Notes (on a simple-interest basis).
The Notes are not deposits or savings accounts, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or by any other governmental agency or
instrumentality, and are not guaranteed by the FDIC under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. You
should refer to Key Risk Factors below and Risk Factors Relating to the Notes in the pricing supplement related to this offering for a description of the risks.

Benefits of the Notes
n
|
|
Periodic Income.
The Notes will provide investors with a fixed Coupon Amount of $15.00
per Note (1.5% of $1,000 principal amount per Note) per annum, payable on February , 2010; February , 2011; February
, 2012; February , 2013; and February , 2014.
|
n
|
|
Return Potential.
The Index Return Amount payable at maturity is based on the Index
Percentage Change and the Participation Rate, enabling you to participate in the potential increase in the level of the CPI during the term of the Notes. If the Index Percentage Change is greater than zero, the Maturity Payment you receive will be
greater than the amount of your initial investment in the Notes and due to the Participation Rate, the return on the Notes will be approximately
|
|
250% to 300% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) of the return on an instrument directly linked to the CPI. However, if the Index Percentage Change is less than or
equal to zero, the Maturity Payment you receive will equal only the amount of your initial investment in the Notes.
|
n
|
|
Principal Preservation.
If you hold your Notes to maturity, at maturity you will receive
your initial investment in the Notes regardless of the performance of the CPI.
|
n
|
|
Diversification Potential.
The Notes are linked to the CPI and may allow you to
diversify an existing portfolio mix of deposits, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and cash.
|
Key Risk Factors
n
|
|
The Return on Your Notes May Be Limited to the Coupon Amount Payable on the Notes.
The
Coupon Amount payable on the Notes on each Coupon Payment Date will equal 1.5% per annum. If the Index Percentage Change is zero or negative, the Maturity Payment you receive will be limited to the amount of your initial investment in the
Notes. In this case, your return on the notes will be limited to 1.5% per annum.
|
n
|
|
Potential for a Lower Comparable Yield.
The Coupon Amount Payable on the Notes will
equal 1.5% per annum. As a result, if the Index Percentage Change is less than %, the effective yield on your Notes will be less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate, non-callable debt security
of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.
|
n
|
|
Exchange Listing and Secondary Market.
The Notes will not be listed on any exchange.
There is currently no secondary market for the Notes. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the Notes. Although Citigroup Global Markets Inc. intends to make a secondary market in the
Notes, it is not obligated to do so.
|
n
|
|
The Resale Value of the Notes May Be Lower Than Your Initial Investment.
Due to, among
other things, changes in the monthly CPI level or the method of computation of the CPI, interest rates and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.s perceived creditworthiness, the Notes may trade at prices below
|
|
their initial issue price. You could receive substantially less than the amount of your investment if you sell your Notes prior to maturity.
|
n
|
|
Tax Treatment of the Notes.
Because the Notes are contingent payment debt obligations of
Citigroup Funding, you will be required to include original issue discount (OID) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in gross income on a constant yield basis over the term of the Notes, regardless of whether you receive more, less or
no payments on the Notes in tax years prior to maturity.
|
n
|
|
Fees and Conflicts.
Citigroup Financial Products Inc. and its affiliates involved in
this offering are expected to receive compensation for activities and services provided in connection with the Notes. Further, Citigroup Funding expects to hedge its obligations under the Notes through the trading in instruments, such as options,
swaps or futures, based on the CPI or the commodities, products or services included in the CPI market basket, by one or more of its affiliates and may receive a profit from these activities, even if the value of the Notes declines. Each of
Citigroup Fundings or its affiliates hedging activities and Citigroup Financial Products role as the Calculation Agent for the Notes may result in a conflict of interest.
|
n
|
|
Citigroup Inc. Credit Risk.
The Notes are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.,
Citigroup Fundings parent company and the guarantor of any payments due on the Notes.

PRINCIPAL PROTECTED NOTES
Description of the Consumer Price Index
Unless otherwise stated, all information on the CPI provided in this offering summary is derived from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) or other publicly available sources. The CPI is published monthly by BLS
and is a measure of the average change in consumer prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. This market basket includes food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation and charges for doctors and dentists services
and drugs. In calculating the CPI, price changes for the various items are averaged together with weights that represent their importance in the spending of urban households in the United States. BLS periodically updates the contents of the market
basket of goods and services, and the weights assigned to the various items, to take into account changes in consumer expenditure patterns. The CPI is expressed in
relative terms in relation to a time base reference period for which the level is set at 100. For example, if the CPI for the 1982-to-1984 base reference period is
100, an increase of 1% from that period would be shown as 101, and a decrease of 1% from that period would be shown as 99. The CPI level for a particular month is released and published during the following month by BLS and is reported by Bloomberg
on Page CPURNSA, and by other news services.
The Notes represent obligations of Citigroup Funding only. The notes have not been passed on by BLS. The
notes are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by BLS and BLS makes no warranties and bears no liability with respect to the notes.

Hypothetical Maturity Payment Examples
The examples below show the hypothetical maturity payments to be made on an investment of $1,000 principal amount of Notes based on various Ending Index Levels of the CPI. The following examples of hypothetical maturity payment
calculations are based on the following assumptions:
n
|
|
Principal Amount: $1,000 per Note
|
n
|
|
Starting Value of the CPI: 212.425
|
n
|
|
Participation Rate: 275.00%
|
The following examples are for purposes of
illustration only and would provide different results if different assumptions were applied. The actual maturity payment will depend on the actual Index Return Amount, which, in turn, will depend on the actual Starting Index Level and Ending Index
Level of the CPI and the Participation Rate.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations for initial U.S. investors that hold the Notes as capital assets.

investors should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and should consult their tax advisors to

Because the Notes are contingent payment debt obligations of Citigroup
Funding, U.S. holders of the Notes will be required to include original issue discount (OID) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in gross income on a constant yield basis over the term of the Notes. This tax OID (computed at an assumed
comparable yield of % compounded semi-annually) will be includible in a U.S. holders gross income (as ordinary income) over the term of the Notes (regardless of whether holders receive more, less or no payments on the
Notes in tax years prior to maturity), and generally

will be reported to U.S. non-corporate holders on an IRS Form 1099. The assumed comparable yield is based on a rate at which
Citigroup Funding would issue a similar debt obligation with no contingent payments. The amount of tax OID is based on an assumed amount representing all amounts payable on the Notes, including the annual coupon payments. This assumed amount is
neither a prediction nor guarantee of the actual yield of, or payments to be made in respect of, the Notes. If, during any taxable year, you receive actual payments with respect to the Notes that in the aggregate are more than (or less than) the
total amount of projected payments for that taxable year, you will have additional (or a reduced amount of) interest income for that year. Accordingly, in any taxable year, your taxable interest income in respect of the Notes may be more than, or
less than, the cash that you receive. If a U.S. holder disposes of the Notes, the U.S. holder will be required to treat any gain recognized upon the disposition of the Notes as ordinary income (rather than capital gain).
In the case of a holder of the Notes that is not a U.S. person, all payments made with respect to the Notes, if any, and any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the Notes should not be subject to U.S. income or withholding
tax, provided that the holder complies with applicable certification requirements (including in general the furnishing of an IRS Form W-8 or substitute form), and such payments or gain are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of
such holder, and such gain is not realized by an individual that is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or disposition.
Notes beneficially owned by a non-U.S. holder who at the time of death is neither a resident nor a citizen of the United States should not be subject to U.S. federal estate taxes.
You should refer to the preliminary pricing supplement related to this offering for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax treatment and should consult your
own tax advisors to determine tax consequences particular to your situation.
ERISA and IRA Purchase Considerations
Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, entities the
assets of which are deemed to constitute the assets of such plans, governmental or other plans subject to laws substantially similar to ERISA and retirement accounts (including Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE plans, individual retirement accounts and
individual retirement annuities) are permitted to purchase the Notes as long as either (A)(1) no Citigroup Global Markets, affiliate or employee is a fiduciary to such plan or retirement account that has or exercises any discretionary authority or
control with respect to the assets of such plan or retirement account used to purchase the Notes or renders investment advice with respect to those assets and (2) such plan or retirement account is paying no more than adequate consideration for
the Notes or (B) its acquisition and holding of the Notes is not prohibited by any such
provisions or laws or is exempt from any such prohibition.
However, individual
retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities and Keogh plans, as well as employee benefit plans that permit participants to direct the investment of their accounts, will not be permitted to purchase or hold the Notes if the account, plan or
annuity is for the benefit of an employee of Citigroup Global Markets or a family member and the employee
receives any compensation (such as, for example, an
addition to bonus) based on the purchase of Notes by the account, plan or annuity.
You should refer to the section ERISA Matters in the preliminary
pricing supplement related to this offering for more information.

of the Consumer Price Index in the preliminary pricing supplement for more information.
