PRINCIPAL PROTECTED NOTES
3% Minimum Coupon
Principal Protected Notes
Based Upon the Price of Gold Due August 11, 2014
This offering summary contains a summary of the terms and conditions of the 3% Minimum 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 Final Terms below.
Overview of the Notes
The 3% Minimum Coupon Principal Protected Notes Based Upon
the Price of Gold (the Notes) are commodity-linked investments offered by Citigroup Funding Inc. and have a maturity of approximately five years. The Notes are 100% principal protected if held to maturity, subject to the credit risk of
Citigroup Inc., and will pay a coupon per Coupon Period at a variable rate which will depend upon the Closing Price of gold on every Business Day in each Coupon Period but will not be less than 3% per Coupon Period. The term of each Coupon
Period will be approximately one year.
For each Coupon Period, if the Closing Price of gold on every Business Day during such Coupon Period does not exceed the
related Starting Price by more than 35% and the percentage change in the Closing Price of gold from the first Business Day of the related Coupon Period through the last Business Day of the Coupon Period (the Gold Percentage Change) is
greater than 3%, the Coupon Amount you receive on the related Coupon Payment Date for each $10 Note you hold will be an amount based on the Gold Percentage Change and will not be greater than $3.50 (35% of $10 principal amount per Note). If the
Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during such Coupon Period exceeds the related Starting Price by more than 35% or if the Gold Percentage Change is less than or equal to 3%, on the related Coupon Payment Date you will receive $0.30 (3% of
$10 principal amount per Note) for each Note you hold.
Some key characteristics of the Notes include:
n
|
|
Principal Protection.
Your initial investment is 100% principal protected, subject to
the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., 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 at maturity an amount in cash equal to your initial investment plus the last Coupon Amount.
|
n
|
|
Periodic Income.
A Coupon Amount is payable on August 3, 2010; August 3,
2011; August 3, 2012; August 5, 2013; and on the Maturity Date (each a Coupon Payment Date). The Coupon Amount payable on each Coupon Payment Date will depend upon the Closing Price of gold during the related Coupon Period,
will be based on the Gold Percentage Change during such Coupon Period and will not be less than $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note nor be greater than $3.50 (35% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note. Thus, for each $10
principal amount Note held, you will receive on each Coupon Payment Date either:
|
(i) an amount equal to the product of
(a) $10 and (b) the Gold Percentage Change, if (x) the Closing Price of gold on every Business Day during the related Coupon Period is less than or equal to 135% of the applicable Starting Price and (y) the Gold Percentage Change
is greater than 3%; or
(ii) an amount equal to $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note), in all other cases.
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 15% for the approximately five year term of the Notes (on a simple-interest basis) if, during each Coupon Period, the Closing Price of gold exceeds the related Starting Price by more than 35% on any Business Day or the Gold Percentage Change for
such Coupon Period is less than or equal to 3%.
PRINCIPAL
PROTECTED NOTES
| 3
n
|
|
Limited Participation in Potential Change in Price of Gold.
The Notes allow investors to
participate in only a portion of the growth potential of the price of gold, up to an increase of 35% from the related Starting Price during each Coupon Period. Additionally, if the Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during a Coupon Period
exceeds the related Starting Price by more than 35%, then instead of participating in the potential appreciation of gold, the Coupon Amount payable on the Notes, for the applicable Coupon Period, will be limited to $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount
per Note) per Note.
|
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.
Types of Investors
These Notes may be an appropriate investment
for the following types of investors:
n
|
|
Investors looking for exposure to the price of gold on a principal-protected basis who expect that the Closing Price of gold on every Business Day during each Coupon Period
will not exceed the related Starting Price by more than 35%;
|
n
|
|
Investors who are willing to earn a fixed return equal to $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, if the Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during each
Coupon Period exceeds the related Starting Price by more than 35% or if the Gold Percentage Change is less than or equal to 3%;
|
n
|
|
Investors who seek to add a commodity-linked investment to their portfolio for diversification purposes since an investment in the Notes may outperform fixed-income
securities in a moderate commodities market environment.
|
Commissions and Fees
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an affiliate of Citigroup Funding and the underwriter of the sale of the Notes, will receive an underwriting fee of $0.325 for each $10.000 Note sold
in this offering. Certain dealers, including Citi International Financial Services, Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd., and Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, broker-dealers affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets, will receive from
Citigroup Global Markets $0.300 from this underwriting fee for each Note they sell. Citigroup Global Markets will pay the Financial Advisors employed by Citigroup Global Markets and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, an affiliate of Citigroup Global
Markets, a fixed sales commission of $0.300 for each Note they sell. Additionally, it is possible that Citigroup Global Markets and its affiliates may profit from expected hedging activity related to this offering, even if the value of the Note
declines. You should refer to Key Risk Factors below and Risk Factors Relating to the Notes and Plan of Distribution in the pricing supplement related to this offering for more information.

Benefits of the Notes
n
|
|
Periodic Income.
The Notes will provide investors with a minimum Coupon Amount of at
least $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note per Coupon Period, and the Coupon Amount payable at the end of each Coupon Period will exceed $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) if the Closing Price of gold on every Business Day
during such Coupon Period does not exceed the related Starting Price by more than 35% and the Gold Percentage Change is greater than 3%, but cannot exceed approximately $3.50 (35% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note per Coupon Period.
|
n
|
|
Principal Preservation.
If you hold your Notes to maturity, at maturity you will receive
at least your initial investment in the Notes plus the last Coupon Amount, subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc., regardless of the Closing Price of gold at any time, including the Ending Price during any Coupon Period.
|
n
|
|
Diversification Potential.
The Notes are linked to the price of gold 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 As Little As 3% Per Coupon Period.
The Coupon Amount
payable on each Coupon Payment Date will depend upon the Closing Price of gold during the applicable Coupon Period, will be based on the Gold Percentage Change during such Coupon Period and will not be less than $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per
Note) per Note nor be greater than $3.50 (35% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note. If (i) the Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during the Coupon Period exceeds the related Starting Price by more than 35%, or (ii) the Gold
Percentage Change is less than or equal to 3%, then on the related Coupon Payment Date you will receive $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) for each Note you hold. Because of the possibility of a return of 3% per Coupon Period, the
Notes may provide less opportunity for return
|
|
|
than an investment that would permit you to participate fully in the appreciation of the price of gold.
|
n
|
|
Appreciation May Be Limited.
The Notes allow investors to participate in only a portion
of the growth potential of the price of gold, up to an increase of 35% from the related Starting Prices during each Coupon Period. Additionally, if the Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during a Coupon Period exceeds the related Starting
Price by more than 35%, then instead of participating in the potential appreciation of the price of gold, the return on the Notes, for the applicable Coupon Period, will be limited to the minimum Coupon Amount of $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount
per Note) per Note.

PRINCIPAL PROTECTED NOTES
n
|
|
The Prices of Gold Are Highly Volatile and Affected by Many Complex Factors.
Prices of
gold are highly volatile and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted),
interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending,
sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short-term changes in supply and demand
because of trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors on the price of gold. If these factors result in a decrease in prices of gold, it may reduce the Coupon
Amount payable on the related Coupon Payment Date and/or the value of the notes in the secondary market.
|
n
|
|
Potential for a Lower Comparable Yield.
The Coupon Amount payable for each Coupon
Period, which can be as little as $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the Closing Prices of gold during such Coupon Period and will be based on the Gold Percentage Change. As a result, the yield on the Notes may be
less than that which would be payable on a conventional fixed-rate debt security of Citigroup Funding of comparable maturity.
|
n
|
|
Relationship to the Publishers of the Price of Gold.
You will have no rights against the
publishers of the price of gold, even though the amount you receive on a coupon payment date will depend upon the daily Closing Price and the applicable ending price of gold. The publishers of the price of gold are not in any way
|
|
|
involved in this offering and have no obligations relating to the Notes or the holders of the Notes.
|
n
|
|
Exchange Listing and Secondary Market.
The Notes have been approved for listing on NYSE
Arca under the symbol MTY, subject to official notice of issuance, but a secondary market may not develop or 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 price of gold, interest rates, disruptions in futures contracts trading, other economic conditions and Citigroup Funding and Citigroup Inc.s perceived creditworthiness, the Notes may trade at prices below their
initial issue price of $10 per Note. You could receive substantially less than your initial investment if you sell your Notes.
|
n
|
|
Fees and Conflicts.
Citibank N.A. 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 gold or in other instruments, such as options,
swaps or futures, based upon the price of gold, 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
Citibank N.A.s 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.
|

Description of the London PM Fix of the Price of Gold
The Coupon Amount payable on each Coupon Payment Date will be determined by reference to the price of a troy ounce of gold generally known as the London PM Fix. The London PM Fix of price of gold is set by the five members of
the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. during the afternoon session of the twice-daily price of gold fix which starts at 3:00 p.m. London, England time. During each session, orders are placed either with one of the five fixing members or with another
bullion dealer who will then be in contact with a fixing member during the fixing. The fixing members net-off all orders when communicating their individual net interest at the fixing. The fix begins with the fixing chairman suggesting a
trying price, reflecting the market price prevailing at
the opening of the fix. This is relayed by the fixing members to their dealing rooms, which have direct communication with all interested parties. Any market
participant may enter the fixing process at any time, or adjust or withdraw its order. The price of gold is adjusted up or down until all the buy and sell orders are matched, at which time the price is declared fixed. All fixing orders are
transacted on the basis of this fixed price, which is instantly relayed to the market through various media. As of July 27, 2009, the five members of the London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. were The Bank of Nova Scotia ScotiaMocatta, HSBC,
Deutsche Bank AG London, Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking, and Barclays Capital.

Additional information on the price of gold is included in the pricing supplement related to this offering under Description
of the London PM Fix of the Price of Gold. All such disclosures in the pricing supplement and the information regarding the London PM Fix of Price of Gold provided in this offering summary are derived from publicly available sources without

to the purchasers of the Notes or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Notes particularly or the ability

Hypothetical Coupon Amounts
The Coupon Amount payable for each Coupon Period, which
can be as little as $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the Closing Prices of gold on every Business Day during such Coupon Period and will be based on the Gold Percentage Change.
Because the Closing Price of gold may be subject to significant variations during each Coupon Period, it is not possible to present a chart or table illustrating a complete range
of possible Coupon Amounts. The examples of hypothetical Coupon Amounts set forth below are intended to illustrate the effect of different Ending Prices of gold on the return of the Notes for each Coupon Period, which depends on whether there has
been a Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during such Coupon Period greater than 137% of the related Starting Price and on the Gold Percentage Change. All of the hypothetical examples assume an investment in the Notes of $10, that the
applicable Starting Price is 950.00, that the threshold for determining whether holders will receive a return based on the Gold Percentage Change or the fixed return of 3% is 137% of the applicable Starting Price, that 137% of the applicable
Starting Price is 1301.50, that the term of the Coupon
Period is one year and that an investment is made on the initial Issue Date and held to the Coupon Payment Date.
As demonstrated by the examples below, if the hypothetical Closing Price of gold on every Business Day during each Coupon Period is less than or equal to 1301.50, the return for
such Coupon Period will be equal to the Gold Percentage Change, and so long as the hypothetical applicable Ending Price is greater than the hypothetical applicable Starting Price and the Gold Percentage Change is greater than 3%, the Coupon Amount
will be greater than $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note. If, however, the hypothetical Closing Price of gold on any Business Day during any Coupon Period is greater than 1301.50, the Coupon Amount for such Coupon Period will be
equal to $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, regardless of whether the hypothetical applicable Ending Price is greater than or less than the hypothetical applicable Starting Price. The hypothetical return for each Coupon Period
provided in the examples is only relevant to such Coupon Period. A hypothetical return for one Coupon Period is no indication of such return for a subsequent Coupon Period.

The examples are for purposes of illustration only. The actual Coupon Amount for each Coupon Period will depend on the actual
Closing Prices, the actual applicable Starting Price, the actual applicable Ending Price and the actual threshold for determining whether holders will receive a return based on the Gold Percentage Change or the fixed return of 3% and other relevant
parameters.
Hypothetical Total Return on the Notes
The total return on the Notes will depend on the Coupon
Amount for each of the five Coupon Periods during the term of the Notes. Each Coupon Amount payable for each Coupon Period, which can be as little as $0.30 (3% of $10 principal amount per Note) per Note, will depend on the Closing Price of gold on
every Business Day during such Coupon Period and will be based on the Gold Percentage Change. Because the Closing Price of gold
may be subject to significant variations during each Coupon Period, it is not possible to present graphs illustrating a complete range of possible total returns on the
Notes. The example of a hypothetical total return on the Notes set forth below is intended to illustrate the effect of different Coupon Amounts on the total return on the Notes, which each depends on whether there has been a Closing Price of gold on

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 pricing supplement related to this offering and the accompanying
prospectus supplement for additional information relating to U.S. federal income tax and to their tax advisors to determine tax consequences particular to their situation.
n
|
|
Amounts received as contingent coupons on the Notes will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest at the time such payments are accrued or received.
|
n
|
|
Any gain or loss upon the sale or disposition of the Note will be capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or disposition and the
U.S. holders tax basis in such Note. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition.
|
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-8BEN 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 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 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney 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.
