The securities referenced on the cover page of this prospectus have been issued and/or guaranteed under one of the Registration Statements listed on the cover of this prospectus. A pricing supplement, if any, product supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing each such security (each, a “disclosure document”) have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each of these disclosure documents is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, except for any portion of each disclosure document that incorporates by reference the relevant issuer’s prior and future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
This prospectus, together with the relevant pricing supplement, if any, product supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing the terms of the specific securities being offered and sold, may be used by Citigroup’s broker-dealer subsidiaries in connection with offers and sales of such securities (subject to obtaining any necessary approval of any stock exchange on which such securities are listed for any of these offers and sales) in market-making transactions at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any of these subsidiaries may act as principal or agent in these transactions.

Conflicts of interest. Each broker-dealer subsidiary of Citigroup is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and may participate in distributions of the securities referenced on the cover page of this prospectus. Accordingly, the participation of any such entity in the offerings of such securities will conform with the requirements addressing conflicts of interest when distributing the securities of an affiliate set forth in FINRA Rule 5121 or will be conducted pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, as applicable.
Neither Citigroup nor Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. will receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the securities referenced on the cover page of this prospectus. All secondary market offers and sales made pursuant to this prospectus and the pricing supplement, if any, product supplement, if any, prospectus supplement, if any, and prospectus describing the terms of the specific securities being offered and sold will be for the accounts of the broker-dealer subsidiaries of Citigroup in connection with market-making transactions.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
As required by the Securities Act of 1933, Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. filed a registration statement relating to the market-making activities of Citigroup’s subsidiaries in the securities referenced on the cover of this prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This prospectus is a part of that registration statement, which includes additional information.
Citigroup files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document Citigroup files at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. You can also request copies of the documents, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing the Public Reference Section of the SEC. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference room. These SEC filings are also available to the public from the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.
The SEC allows Citigroup to “incorporate by reference” the information it files with the SEC, which means that it can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus. Information that Citigroup files later with the SEC will automatically update information in this prospectus. In all cases, you should rely on the later
information over different information included in this prospectus. Citigroup incorporates by reference the documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (File No. 1-09924):

In no event, however, will any of the information that Citigroup furnishes to, pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K (including exhibits related thereto) or other applicable SEC rules, rather than files with, the SEC be incorporated by reference or otherwise be included herein, unless such information is expressly incorporated herein by a reference in such furnished Current Report on Form 8-K or other furnished document.
All documents filed by Citigroup specified in Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this prospectus and before the date the broker-dealer subsidiaries of Citigroup stop offering securities pursuant to this prospectus shall be incorporated by reference in this prospectus from the date of filing of such documents.
