Additional Information
 
General.   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, 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 in connection with your investment in the securities.  Certain terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement are defined in the accompanying product supplement.
 
Potential Future Events.   It is possible that Citigroup Funding Inc. will merge into Citigroup Inc. in the near future.  If a merger occurs, Citigroup Inc. will assume all the obligations of Citigroup Funding Inc. under the securities, as required by the indenture under which the securities are issued.
 
 
Hypothetical Examples
 
The diagram below illustrates your payment at maturity for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing level of the index from the pricing date to the valuation date (as measured solely on those two dates).  The diagram and examples below are based on the fixed return amount of $320 per security (32% of the stated principal amount).
 
Investors in the securities 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 securities. See “Summary Risk Factors—Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the index or the stocks that constitute the index” below.
 
Buffered Digital Plus Securities Payment at Maturity Diagram
 
Your actual payment at maturity per security will depend on 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 initial index level and by how much.  The examples are based on the initial index level of 12,502.66 .

Example 1—Upside Scenario A .   The hypothetical final index level is 13,752.93 (a 10% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than the initial index level by less than the fixed return of 32%.
 
Payment at maturity per security
= $1,000 + the greater of (i) the fixed return amount and (ii) $1,000 × the index percent increase
 
= $1,000 + the greater of (i) $320 and (ii) $1,000 × 10%
 
= $1,000 + $320 = $1,320
   
Because the fixed return amount is greater than the $100 return you would have received based on the performance of the index, your total return on the securities at maturity will equal the fixed return of 32%.
 
Example 2—Upside Scenario B .   The hypothetical final index level is 17,503.73 (a 40% increase from the initial index level), which is greater than the initial index level by more than the fixed return of 32%.
 
Payment at maturity per security 
= $1,000 + the greater of (i) the fixed return amount and (ii) $1,000 × the index percent increase
 
= $1,000 + the greater of (i) $320 and (ii) $1,000 × 40%
 
= $1,000 + $400  = $1,400
   
Because the $400 return based on the performance of the index is greater than the fixed return amount, your total return on the securities at maturity in this scenario will reflect 1-to-1 exposure to the positive performance of the index.
 
Example 3—Par Scenario .   The hypothetical final index level is 11,877.53 (a 5% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the initial index level by less than the buffer amount of 10%.
 
Payment at maturity per security
= $1,000
   
Because the hypothetical final index level decreased from the initial index level by less than the 10% buffer amount, your payment at maturity in this scenario will equal the $1,000 stated principal amount per security.
 
Example 4—Downside Scenario.   The hypothetical final index level is 8,751.86 (a 30% decrease from the initial index level), which is less than the initial index level by more than the buffer amount of 10%.
 
Payment at maturity per security
= ($1,000 × the index performance factor) + $100
 
= ($1,000 × 0.70) + $100
 
= $700 + $100 = $800
   
Because the hypothetical final index level decreased from the initial index level by more than the 10% buffer amount, your payment at maturity in this scenario will reflect 1-to-1 exposure to the negative performance of the index beyond the 10% buffer amount.
 
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, including the risk that we may default on our obligations under the securities, and are also subject to risks associated with the index.  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 advisers 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-6 in the accompanying product supplement and the description of risks relating to the index contained in the section “Risk Factors” beginning on page 1 in the accompanying underlying supplement .   You should also carefully read the risk factors included 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.
 
■
You may lose up to 90% of your investment. Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and do not provide for the repayment of a fixed amount at maturity.  Instead, your payment at maturity will depend on the performance of the index.  If the final index level is less than the initial index level by more than the buffer amount, you will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of the securities for every 1% the final index level declines beyond the buffer amount.

■
The securities do not pay interest.   The securities do not provide for the payment of 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.
 
■
The securities are subject to the credit risk of Citigroup Inc.   If we default on our obligations and Citigroup Inc. defaults on its guarantee obligations under the securities, you may not receive any payments that become due under the securities.
 
■
The securities will not be listed on a securities exchange and you may not be able to sell them prior to maturity.   Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities.  If it does not do so at any time, it is likely that there will be no buyer for your securities at that time.  Even if you are able to sell your securities prior to maturity, the price you receive may be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities. You should not invest in the securities unless you are willing to hold them to maturity.
 
■
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 securities 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 securities.  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 securities.  If you had invested in another instrument linked to the index that you could sell for full value at a time selected by you, or if the security were based on an average of index closing levels instead of only the valuation date, you might have achieved better returns.
 
■
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 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 your securities at any time prior to maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount.
 
■
Investing in the securities 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 June 25, 2012, the average dividend yield of the index was 2.68% 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 securities, you would be forgoing an aggregate yield of 9.38% (assuming no reinvestment of dividends) by investing in the securities 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 securities.
 
■
Our offering of the securities is not a recommendation of the index.   The fact that we are offering the securities 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 securities.
 
■
The level of the index may be adversely affected by our or our affiliates’ hedging and other trading activities.   We have hedged our obligations under the securities 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 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 negatively affect the level of the index and the value of the securities.  They could also result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities 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, 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 your securities.   CME Group Index Services, LLC (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 securities.
 
■
The calculation agent, which is an affiliate of ours, will make important determinations with respect to the securities .   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 securities.
 
■
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 U.S. federal withholding or income tax in respect of amounts paid to you with respect to the securities provided that (i) income or gain 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.

Broker-dealers affiliated with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., including Citi International Financial Services, Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd. and Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, will receive a fixed selling concession, and financial advisers employed by such affiliated broker-dealers will receive a fixed sales commission, of $30.00 for each $1,000 security they sell to brokerage accounts. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. will pay the registered representatives of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. a fixed sales commission of $30.00 for each $1,000 security they sell to brokerage accounts.
