* For information purposes only, the Purchase Price in respect of (i) the January 2018 Notes will be 103.545 per cent. (EUR51,772.66 for each EUR50,000 in nominal amount), (ii) the February 2018 Notes will be 104.513 per cent. (EUR104,513.30 for each EUR100,000 in nominal amount), (iii) the 4.500 per cent. January 2020 Notes will be 112.955 per cent. (EUR56,477.72 for each EUR50,000 in nominal amount), and (iv) the 6.00 per cent. January 2020 Notes will be 117.180 per cent. (EUR117,180.03 for each EUR100,000 in nominal amount), in each case when determined in the manner described in the Memorandum on the basis of a Settlement Date of 6 April 2017. Should the Settlement Date in respect of any Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell differ from 6 April 2017, the Purchase Price will be recalculated to the new Settlement Date, all as further described in the Memorandum.

** Citigroup reserves the right to determine the allocation of the Maximum Purchase Amount between one or more Series in its sole discretion, and reserves the right to accept significantly more or less (or none) of the Notes of one Series as compared to any of the other Series up to the Maximum Purchase Amount.

Citigroup proposes to accept Offers to Sell up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of EUR1,000,000,000 across all Series of Notes combined (the "Maximum Purchase Amount"), subject to the right to modify such amount at its sole discretion and for any reason, including but not limited to, the size of the New Issue (as defined below) and subject to the satisfaction of the New Notes Condition (as defined below) and the other conditions described in the Memorandum. Citigroup may, in its sole discretion, extend, amend or terminate the Solicitation of Offers to Sell at any time (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Memorandum).

New Issue

The Issuer announced today its intention to issue under its EUR 14,000,000,000 Guaranteed Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") euro denominated fixed rate notes (the "New Issue" and the "New Notes", respectively).

Acceptance by Citigroup of Notes validly tendered in the Solicitation of Offers to Sell is conditional upon: (i) the pricing of the New Notes prior to the Acceptance Date, and (ii) the signing of the subscription agreement to be entered into for the purchase of, and subscription for, the New Notes (the "New Notes Condition"). The announcement of whether or not the New Notes Condition has been satisfied is expected to take place as soon as practicably possible following the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date.

Purchase Price and Offer Period

The amount payable per Minimum Denomination in respect of each Series will be the sum of (i) the relevant Purchase Price (expressed as a percentage) in respect of such Series multiplied by the relevant Minimum Denomination in respect of that Series and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes of the relevant Series from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Series up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date, which is expected to be 6 April 2017 (the "Accrued Interest").

The Purchase Price for the 2021 Notes accepted for purchase will be determined by the Joint Dealer Managers by reference to the sum (each such sum, a "Purchase Yield") of (i) the Purchase Spread and (ii) the yield for the Reference Benchmark (the "Reference Benchmark Yield") at the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date in accordance with the pricing formula set out in Annex A to the Memorandum.

The Purchase Price for the January 2018 Notes, February 2018 Notes, 4.500 per cent. January 2020 Notes and 6.00 per cent. January 2020 Notes accepted for purchase will be determined by the Joint Dealer Managers by reference to the relevant Purchase Yield at the Pricing Time on the Pricing Date in accordance with the pricing formula set out in Annex A to the Memorandum.

Noteholders will be able to submit an Offer to Sell in the manner specified in the Memorandum from and including 28 March 2017 to 4:00 p.m. (London time) on 4 April 2017 (the "Offer Period"). Noteholders must submit the Offer to Sell specifying the aggregate principal amount of the Notes offered at the relevant Purchase Price in the manner specified in the Memorandum under "Terms and Conditions relating to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell - Electronic Instruction Notice".

Acceptance Date and Settlement

An Offer to Sell may be accepted by Citigroup, if no extension of the Offer Period has occurred, on the "Acceptance Date" (expected to be on 5 April 2017). Citigroup is under no obligation to accept an Offer to Sell. The acceptance of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell for purchase by Citigroup is at the sole discretion of Citigroup and Offers to Sell may be rejected by Citigroup for any reason.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, Citigroup will accept Offers to Sell until either (i) it has accepted all of the Notes validly offered and eligible for purchase, or (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes which have been accepted is the maximum amount that can be accepted without exceeding the Maximum Purchase Amount. Citigroup reserves the right to determine the allocation of the Maximum Purchase Amount between one or more Series in its sole discretion, and reserves the right to accept significantly more or less (or none) of the Notes of one Series as compared to any of the other Series. Where the acceptance of all valid Offers to Sell would require a greater principal amount of Notes to be accepted than the Maximum Purchase Amount, Citigroup will accept Offers to Sell in respect of the Notes on a pro rata basis (as described in the Memorandum under "Terms and Conditions relating to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell - Acceptance of Offers to Sell and Pro Rata Allocation").

Notes in respect of which Citigroup has not accepted an Offer to Sell will remain outstanding subject to the terms and conditions of such Notes and will be returned to the respective Noteholders as soon as possible after the Settlement Date.

During the Offer Period, Noteholders must submit or arrange for the submission of an Electronic Instruction Notice (as defined below) to the Tender Agent via the relevant Clearing System (as defined below) as detailed in the Memorandum. Such Electronic Instruction Notice (as defined below) must be received by the Tender Agent at or prior to the Expiration Date.

Noteholders wishing to participate in the Solicitation of Offers to Sell who are not direct participants of Euroclear Bank SA/NV or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (together, the "Clearing Systems" and each a "Clearing System") must instruct their respective bank, securities broker or other intermediary to submit an electronic instruction notice (the "Electronic Instruction Notice") to the relevant Clearing System for delivery to the Tender Agent via such Clearing System. Citigroup expressly points out that Noteholders whose Notes are held on their behalf by a bank, securities broker or other intermediary should inform themselves whether such intermediary requires instructions to participate in, or withdraw their instructions to participate in, the Solicitation of Offers to Sell prior to the deadlines set out herein. Noteholders who are direct participants of the Clearing Systems must follow the same procedure by contacting the relevant Clearing System directly. Purchase agreements will be concluded by Citigroup's acceptance of the Offers to Sell according to the Terms and Conditions.

The Purchase of Notes, pursuant to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell, in respect of which Citigroup has validly accepted Offers to Sell on the Acceptance Date is expected to be settled on 6 April 2017 or, in the event of an extension of the Offer Period, on such later date as is notified to the Noteholders by Citigroup (the "Settlement Date"). All purchases pursuant to the Solicitation of Offers to Sell will settle through the normal procedures of the Clearing Systems. On the Settlement Date, Citigroup will pay, or procure the payment of, the relevant Purchase Price plus Accrued Interest to all Noteholders whose Offers to Sell have been validly accepted by Citigroup pursuant to the Terms and Conditions, subject to receipt of the relevant Notes.
